I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, ONLY DEREK. Seventh chapter for Here Comes The Sun (:

** The same mixture from the previous chapters. (:

Hope you like it ! :D

"Oh, hi Elena!" I heard a boy call when I was leaving school, alone. Stefan was still at his house, he said he couldn't come to school after Katherine came too.

I turn around to see Derek. "Hey." I said to him. "Oh. Bonnie's on room 1437."

"Why is she there? Is she taking extra classes?"

"No. She's got detention." He stared at me, puzzled. "She got rebellious against a teacher." I explained.

"Oh. How do you know? I thought you weren't talking."

"We're not. But we were on the same class when she got pissed."

"Hm. Okay. Anyways, it's with you who I want to talk to."

"Me? What do you want?"

"Well, you said you have a brother, and no offense, but I think Stefan isn't really friendly. And Matt... well, he's always with Caroline, and I'm too much of a scared cat to ask Matt if we can go out and have some beer. And since I don't know anyone else here, maybe I could become friends with your brother."

I looked at him, my eyes half closed, probably. "My brother isn't in town, right now." I said, hesitantly.

"Oh. Okay. Sorry, then." He looked at the school's building. "Room 1427, right?"

"1437."

"Thanks. See you."


"Dear Diary, there is something really weird going on. But first let's talk about the weekend that just passed.

I went out to meet Jeremy at Stefan's house, and he's doing so fine. I stayed there for a whole day and everything went out so good. It's like he's almost normal again. I insisted that he'd come home, but he's liking it there. But he promised he'd come back home next week, so I'll just have to wait.

And plus: Damon is actually liking his company; finally someone to talk about his girl problems that's not me. And of course he could talk to Stefan, but Stefan's pretty bad lately, too.

So let's ta;l about him.

Damon swears he doesn't love Katherine anymore, and I believe him. We had a talk and I know he couldn't have hypnotized me to believe his heart is still broken because of her. Stefan says he's fine, but he looks the opposite of fine. He hasn't gone out of his room for days, now, and I'm pretty sure HE is the one who loves Katherine. I mean, I know he said he loved me several times, and I love him too, but... I know he always loved Katherine and always will. But who am I to judge? I also thought Damon was still head over feet for her, but apparently he isn't. Anyways, it's just hard to be around him, now. Every time I get closer to him, or even try to talk to him about it, or tell him that I'm fine with the fact that the girl he loves is in our school, he would just push me around, and tell me to go away. And I'm starting to be not so fine with it.

Katherine is extremely weird. I may not know her that well, but ever since she's been going to my school, she's been acting... somewhat normal.

She's been acting like I used to act.

Yes, she's the new Queen Bee, and I have nothing against it – maybe a little, but still. But it's like my nightmare is coming to life. Me, becoming my old me. Even though the "me" acting like the old "me", is Katherine.

We never spoke to each other, but she did give me looks and I gave stares back, but that was all. Sometimes, when I was hanging out with Caroline and Matt, she would smile and wave, like we always knew each other, and were best friends. At least there hasn't been any 'animal attacks' and deaths since she's been here. Well, no deaths except for Uncle John's.

Oh yeah! Matt and Caroline! They found it really weird that this Katherine girl was exactly like me, and I had to explain to them she was a cousin that I didn't really talk to, but they didn't believe it, so I called Damon. And now I feel really bad, and guilty again. But whatever.

Bonnie is acting like a bitch, too, lately. She got detention for the first time since I've known her – and it's been a long time. She got pissed off at a teacher, and started calling him names. I don't know what is wrong with her, but I didn't even bother to ask.

Her boyfriend though...

He is like, the King Random. He came to talk to me today, and I was like 'what does he want with me?' but I answered his questions in a hesitant way.

He asked for my brother. He said he was too embarrassed to ask Matt to hang out with him, and he doesn't really like Stefan. And I don't really like him. Weirdo.

I told him my brother was not in town, and then he took off to see Bonnie.

Sometimes I think my life can't get more confusing and strange, but then someone comes into my life, or something happens, and I have to disagree with myself again.

Hope my life can chill out a little bit for a while.

But I know that's not going to happen so I'm not even going to try.

And you know what? I'll talk to Katherine. On Monday. Because today is Wednesday, and I will have to talk with Damon – since Stefan's not available – if it's safe to talk to her. And if he says it's okay, I won't scream at her, or say anything that might turn her vampire powers on, and make her want to kill me.

Good night!"

This chapter was more of Elena's journal entry, because Katherine and Jeremy have been out for a while, and so I think it would be good to know what's going on with them.

Please Review ! :D
