I quickly learned how segregated the school was, but not in your typical way. There were of course the druggies and the jocks but other than that there were only two other cliques, the kids who've lived in this town for generations, and those who just moved here. It was annoying to me especially since, even though Stefan just moved here, his name was Salvatore so he had the privilege of hanging out with richer kids. I bit my lip, realizing that, even though my last name wasn't Salvatore, I was living in one of the biggest houses in Mystic Falls.

"How's your day been?" Stefan asked, Elena followed him to come sit by me. It was a small enough school that there were only two lunch times. I looked up from my surprisingly good hamburger towards the small group that sat down beside me, including Jeremy.

"It's been okay, its school you know." I said quietly taking a bite of burger, semi wishing that I could just eat alone. I wasn't a fan of a large group of people I hardly knew coming to sit by me and flooding me with questions. "So, are you interested in cheer leading?" A dark girl said to me, she seemed to Elena's age, the blond girl from the other day was also there. I let out a laugh at the question, me cheer leading, no way in hell, in my old school me and my friends pestered the cheer leading team for fun. "No, sorry." I said.

Stefan was also fighting a smile, but it seemed off, like he wasn't laughing at me, not with me. Then I noticed all three girls at the table glaring at me, an Jeremy blatantly chuckling. "They're all cheer leaders, well, Elena used to be, she hasn't this year." Jeremy explained. A look horror crossed my face, I would've guessed the blond headed girl would be one, but definitely not Elena.

"So if you aren't into cheer leading what are you into?" Stefan saved me from the awkward grave that I had dug myself into.

I sighed in relief. "I, uh," I wracked my brains for something that enjoyed doing lately. Ever since my parents died, all I did was sit inside and watch TV. "Do funerals count?" I asked as a joke, to which no one laughed, except for Elena.

"Well if they do then that saves me from being the weird loner girl." She smiled, I realized that not only was she trying catch me, since I had jumped into the same grave that Stefan had just pulled me out of. I'm sure it seemed to other people that I didn't want to socialize, or was purposefully bad at it. Which wasn't true. "So what is it like living with the Salvatores?" Elena asked. I watched Stefan's face harden, was he scared that I was going to tell Elena about him hurting me.

"It's interesting..." I trailed off. "Stefan is normal enough, but Damon is also walking in with clothes inside out early in the morning." I said, it wasn't quite the truth but I felt that saying everything was perfect would be an obvious lie. "I'm so sorry, I haven't even introduced myself." I said suddenly shaking my head. "I'm Maverick."

"Bonnie." The girl who had asked me if I were a teenager said. "And the blond over there is Caroline." I nodded and smiled. "I think you already know Jeremy and Elena."

I nodded my head. "I met them at the Grill the day I got here." We went back talking and eating, me mostly listening to them talk about how Stefan had made the football team, but didn't really know if that was something he wanted to stick to, and how Elena had very quickly dropped out of cheer leading. At one point Jeremy stood up to go put up his tray. It wasn't long until I followed leaving the group of older kids on their own. We had a twenty minute lunch that I had finished in about seven, so I decided to head to the library. Study hall was next anyways, so I'd just go early to look around.

After school I waited for Stefan next to the vehicle, a mountain of papers in my hand, most of them from the History teacher Alaric, who the group seemed to be friends with. He told me that I didn't necessarily have to anything other than what got graded, but it would catch me up for the upcoming test. I hated transferring schools in the middle of the semester.

It was twenty minutes later, and the school was mostly empty when I stormed inside the school. I ran into Alaric again while looking for Stefan. "Hey, have you seen Stefan?" I asked him.

Alaric frowned. "He, uh, needed to go outside for a bit. A girl accidentally cut herself pretty badly so he had to leave." Alaric said. I was shocked, how many people knew about the brothers, I was under the impression that me and Elena were the only ones. "I can take you home if you want, I need to talk to Damon anyways." Alaric said grabbing his bag. You knew you were late leaving the school whenever the teacher could give you a ride home.

Once I was settled in the car Ric bombarded me. "So you know?" He asked me. I nodded slowly not understanding where he was going with this. "Are you wearing vervain?" He asked me I shook my head no. "We'll ask Damon, I also want to give you a wooden stake, there's one in the glove compartment." I opened the glove compartment to see a small wooden stake. "It's small enough you can hide it, but big enough to stab the heart if one of them were to lose control and attack you." He told me.

I raised my eyebrows. "Are they known for killing house guests?" I asked only joking. Ric did not appreciate it though. "Damon may be my best friend, but yes they are."

Hey guys! So this is going to kind of mess up the Vampire Diaries timeline, mostly things will just go faster, but I may introduce certain characters early or late. I want to emphasize that it starts in season one but does NOTstick to the same timeline. I hope you all enjoy. Also it is pre-written so if you have any ideas, go ahead and give them to me so I can do some re-writes, but it can't be anything to insane.
