HPOV
I stood at my locker and grabbed the books I needed. When I closed the locker door I jumped. Daniel's hand covered my mouth before I could scream.
He smirked. "Good morning."
He removed his hand, and I could feel people staring at us. "What are you doing here?"
"My brother's starting school today." he shrugged. "And then I saw you." his smirk grew.
I rolled my eyes. "Well I'm sorry but I've gotta get going." I turned and began to walk away, but he followed.
"You look familiar." he shrugged.
"We met at the party a couple of night's ago. Remember?"
"Yes, I remember that. But you looked familiar before then." he shrugged. "I'm just curious."
I stopped and turned to him. "Look I would love to stay and chat." I said sarcastically. "But I have a class to get to. So can you please stop following me."
He shrugged. "You could always skip class." I looked at him, directly in the eyes. They were a piercing ice blue, but they made me feel warm and welcome instead of cold and alone. "Come with me."
I laughed and shook my head. "You have got to be kidding me. Like I'd leave with a guy who won't even tell me his real name." I walked off, leaving him standing there confused. "Good bye Daniel."
SPOV
I walked into my first class. Everyone's eyes landed on me.
Great. I though to myself. I'm the new guy everyone's interested in again. I headed toward a desk at the back of the room. No one sat there so I though it would be a safe spot.
As soon as I was comfortable and ready for class a group of students came in. There were two girls and a boy. They didn't even notice me, but headed right for my desk.
The guy was tall and fair skinned. He had black hair and green eyes. One of the girls was nearly as tall as the guy, and she also had black hair and green eyes. But her skin was a little more tanned then his. The other girl had long, golden blonde hair that fell around her waist. She was small and fragile looking and her eyes were a dark but bright blue.
"He talked to you?" the dark haired girl asked the blonde girl. I recognised the blood girl. It was the one Damon had been staring at.
"Yes, and he tried to get me to leave with him." the blonde girl laughed. The guy just listened with a jealous look in his eyes. When they stood next to the desk I was sitting at they stopped.
"Oh." the blonde girl smiled. "You must be the new guy." she took a seat next to me. "I hope you don't mind. I sit here every lesson." The guy sat next to her and the other girl sat in front of me.
I shrugged. "No it's fine." I smiled.
"So I'm Sarra Fell." the dark haired girl waved.
"I'm Stefan." I smiled back. "Stefan Salvatore."
"And I'm Harmony Donovan. This quiet one is Jack Fell, they're twins." the blonde smiled.
"Donovan?" I asked as I tensed.
"Yeah." Harmony shrugged.
Can she really be… Elena's daughter?
HPOV
Stefan… The name sounded familiar. But I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"Donovan?" he asked as he tensed. He looked almost panicked.
"Yeah." I shrugged. "Why?"
"I just know someone with that same last name." he relaxed.
"Really?" I asked, interested. But before we could continue the teacher came in and started the lesson.
After class I rushed to the library. I had private study and I needed to do some research about this vampire thing. As I searched the shelves I found nothing. I mean absolutely nothing. It was as if the whole library didn't even know vampires existed. There wasn't one single book about them.
I sighed and left the library, giving up. As I did I bumped into a guy. He dropped his books and bent down cursing. I bent down to help him.
"I'm so sorry." he muttered. "I wasn't looking where I was going." when he looked up he froze. His wavy hair was a light golden brown. He had dark brown eyes, and as I looked closely I noticed they were also gold. He was tanned and tall.
"Oh, no. It was my fault." I told him as I handed his books back.
He just looked at me, but quickly realised he was staring. "Thanks." he took the books and stood. "Um, have I met you before?"
I shrugged. "I'm new to the school, I guess you could have. But I don't recognise you." I admitted.
He just stared with a curious look on his face. Then he seemed to remember. "You're Jack's new friend, Hailey?"
"Harmony." I corrected. "And yeah, I am." I smiled politely.
"I'm Nathaniel, but my friends call me Nate." he returned the smile. "So do you like Mystic Falls? Or is Jack keeping the good stuff a secret?"
Each time he mentioned Jack, there seemed to be a negative tone behind his smile. "How do you know Jack?
"We were best friends." he shrugged. "Then suddenly he was telling everyone that I stole his girlfriend."
I froze. This is him. The friend that jack told me about. The one who took his ex. I realised.
"Ah, he told you." Nate could tell from my lack of words. "Look it's not what you think."
I didn't let him explain. "I've gotta get to class." I called as I walked off.
DPOV
I had used compulsion on her, and it hadn't worked. I knew that meant she had vervain in her system. But that made me want her more.
This means she may know about vampires, and how dangerous we can be. I thought to myself. But I can tell that she craves the danger and the dark. A smirk grew.
HPOV
I walked into my history class and saw Jack. I walked over to him and took my usual seat next to him. "Hey." I smiled.
He placed a soft kiss on my cheek. "Hey to you too." he smiled back.
"So," I began. "I just met Nathaniel." I told him.
Stefan walked into the room and sat in front of me. He simply smiled before turning around and getting his books out.
Jack tensed. "I don't want to sound like one of those protective boyfriends. But please, stay away from him. He's got a really bad temper, and he uses people. Especially girls."
I held his hand and kissed him softly. "You have nothing to worry about."
SPOV
I entered the class room, and I instantly saw Harmony. You still don't know if she really is Elena's daughter. I reminded myself. So I relaxed and took a seat in front of her. I didn't want to follow her or anything, but there was something about her that seemed to draw me near.
I purposefully ignored what she was saying to Jack. I had know they were a couple the moment I saw them in our previous class together, and there was no way I was going to intrude like I had done in the past.
The teacher came in and asked me to introduce myself to the class.
"My name is Stefan Salvatore." I said simply.
"Where are you from?" Miss Haynes asked.
"Italy, but my older brother and I have moved all around the world." I shrugged.
"So you live with your brother?" a student asked from the back.
"Yes." I didn't want to get into too much detail.
"Well, Mr Salvatore. Welcome to Mystic Falls." the teacher smiled.
The rest of the class was fairly simple. We were learning about myths and legends throughout America.
"Now who can tell me about the Salem witch trials?" the teacher called. "How 'bout you Jack?"
"Um," Jack hesitated. "Wasn't that when all these red headed chicks were hung?"
The teacher shook her head. "No, but that is a common mistake though. How about anyone else?"
"It was during February 1692 to May 1693. A series of hearings occurred, and many people were accused of being witches or wizards. But only nineteen people were actually hung. The rest either confessed and were set free, died in prison or the trial ended before they could be punished." Harmony answered.
"Well," Miss Haynes smiled. "Thank you Harmony. It's nice to see someone who knows a bit about history. But there were actually twenty people hung."
"Miss?" I raised my hand.
"Mr Salvatore, would you like to tell us more?" she smiled.
"Well actually there were only nineteen hung. The twentieth person killed was pressed to death." I shrugged. "He refused to stand trial."
The teacher froze. She didn't seem to know how to answer. She turned and walked to her laptop where she quickly typed something in. After a few moments she looked back up at me. "Well I suppose I should apologise to Miss Donovan," she began. "You're correct Stefan."
HPOV
"I'll be right back." I told Jack after class. Then I followed Stefan.
I caught up to him when he reached his locker. "Harmony?" he asked surprised.
"I just wanted to say thanks." I smiled.
"What for?"
"For backing me up in class." I reminded him.
"Oh, that?" he shrugged. "I was just getting the facts right. So how do you know so much about the trials?"
"My mum's an author. She writes about supernatural stuff and does her research first." I smiled.
"Your mum's an author? What's her name, maybe I've heard of her."
"Elena, Elena Donovan. But before she married my dad she was Elena Gilbert." I shrugged. "After coming here I'm kinda glad I didn't get her last name. Apparently that's one of the founding families' names and I do not need that kind of attention." I laughed.
But Stefan didn't laugh back. He just stood there.
"Hey, are you okay?" I took a step closer but he moved away.
"I'm sorry I have to go." he called as he walked down the hall. "But I'll see you later."
"Bye." I sighed before turning around. Well no wonder I have hardly any friends. I make people go running.
EPOV
There was a knock on the door. I rushed downstairs to open it, and there stood Stefan.
"Stefan? What are you-?"
He walked past me. "You never told me your daughter was in high school."
I froze. "You're going to school here?"
He threw his hands up in frustration. "Of course. I look like a seventeen year old boy. I have to go to school if I want to stay in Mystic Falls."
"So you've met her?"
He sighed. "Yes, I've met her."
I leaned against the wall. I was exhausted. "Have you spoken to her?"
"Elena, I didn't know who she was. She sat next to me, and started to talk to me. I didn't know she was your daughter. If I had known I would have made sure I wasn't in any of her classes." he said calmly.
I looked at him and I could see straight through him. "You like her."
"She's so much like you. I guess I knew she was your daughter, but I didn't want to believe it." he looked away from me. "She's beautiful."
I secretly smiled. Why hadn't I seen this coming?
"Elena. I came here to ask you if you wanted me to leave school. If you feel that I should stay away from her, then I will. Just say the word."
I sighed. "You know I can't do that to you." I admitted.
HPOV
The final bell rang and I ran out of class. Jack rushed after me. "Where you off to?" he grinned.
I reached my locker and threw my books inside. "I need to go to the public library to do some research." I smiled at him.
"It's closed."
I stopped shoving my books in my locker. "What? It's a public library. Shouldn't it be open all the time?"
"Well it usually is but the council is doing some construction work inside. Apparently they're expanding the local section." he shrugged. "So it'll be closed for a few more days."
I sighed and finished putting my books away. "Well there is no way I'm going home in a rush."
He grinned and pulled me closer. "You could always hang with me?"
"Don't you have football practise?" I reminded him.
His mood fell. "Right, I forgot."
"Hey, I tell you what. I'll watch you at practise and then after we can go to the Grill?" I smiled.
"Deal." he said before bringing me in for a kiss.
So Stefan likes Harmony, Damon wants Harmony, and Jack has Harmony. What's going to happen there? And who's this Nathaniel guy? Did he really steal Jack's girlfriend?
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed :):)
Don't forget to review :D
Love and miss you all xox
