Chapter Ten

RPOV

I liked Elena. She was human but she wasn't weak. I knew we were going to get along well. And her friend Caroline seemed cool as well. From what I remembered, Caroline was a recently turned vampire. She looked like a blonde Barbie doll (a vampire blonde Barbie doll) and she was a chatty little thing but I got the feeling she was a strong confident girl, able to defend herself and the ones she loved.

I was running late to my second period class, History. Lissa and I had separated when I'd had to go to the bathroom and although I'd felt uneasy leaving her, Stefan assured me she'd be fine. Now I was completely and hopelessly lost. Even her head couldn't help me find my way...

Oomph! I slammed into someone and barely managed to stop myself from falling backwards, only being able to do so because of my Dhampir reflexes. Unfortunately my books fell out of my arms and I instantly bent down to pick them up.

Unluckily for me, the guy I'd bumped into also bent down at the same time and we bumped heads.

"Ouch," I laughed, clutching my head.

"Oops... sorry, guess I should have been watching where I was going," a guy with dark hair and eyes laughed, picking up my books for me.

"It's my fault... I'm lost and I guess I was just stuck in my own head," I stood up, taking my books.

"I'm Tyler Lockwood... you must be one of the new girls," he stuck a hand out.

I recognised the name- the guy who had recently been turned into a werewolf and didn't know about vampires.

"Yeah, Rose Hathaway," I shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you Rose, where you headed?" Tyler asked.

"Um... history with Mr. Saltzman," I said.

Tyler nodded, "That's where I'm headed. Follow me, Rose."

I followed him into a classroom. The class was almost full. I spied Elena, Stefan, Caroline, Christian and Lissa at the back and moved to sit beside Lissa, after thanking Tyler. I noticed Tyler moved to sit as close as he could to Caroline, who tried to ignore him. At first I found it odd but then I remembered her words before... she was avoiding him.

"Hey, you're Rose, right?" a dark haired girl asked me.

"Yeah," I nodded, already sick of the whole 'new-girl' act.

"I'm Bonnie," she introduced herself.

"Oh... Elena's friend right?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yeah... you're the uh... Dhampire?"

I laughed at her pronunciation of Dhampir as Dhamp-ear.

"Dhampir... yeah that's me. You're the witch right?" I whispered.

She nodded, "Pleasure to meet you."

"Same here," I shook her hand.

Bonnie's eyes went blank for a moment and she jerked her hand back, gasping.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine," she insisted.

I didn't believe her, but I let it go mainly because the teacher began talking. I zoned out of the lesson, doodling in my notebook and spying on Lissa's thoughts. Finally the lesson ended. I was packing up my books when Mr. Saltzman called me up to the front of the classroom. Lissa and Christian followed behind me, with Stefan and Elena following them.

"Hello. You're Rose, aren't you?" Mr. Saltzman asked.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"I'm Alaric Saltzman, but everyone just calls me Ric. Stefan asked me to get you this," he handed me a thin silver chain with a small ball-shaped locket hanging off of it. The locket had a rose engraved on it with a small ruby stone in the centre. It was beautiful and slightly reminded me of Elena's locket.

"I can't take this," I tried to give it back.

Stefan chuckled, "Don't worry about it. Damon found the locket back at the house, last night. It belonged to the last owner's mother."

"Doesn't he have a use for it?" I frowned.

"Zach's dead. He didn't have a family. But he would have wanted the locket to go to good use," Stefan assured me.

I reluctantly fastened it around my neck, "I'll give it back when I can find another necklace to soak in vervain," I promised.

Stefan shrugged it off, "Don't worry about it."

"You guys better go. You have classes to get to," Ric suggested.

"Thank you for the necklace, Ric," I said as I followed Stefan, Elena, Christian and Lissa out of the room.

I was able to pretty much zone out in the rest of my classes. Whenever I wasn't in class with Lissa, I was in her head. Totally bored, I was relieved when lunch finally came.

I made my way over to the table Lissa was sitting at with Caroline chatting away beside me.

"Oh my God, Elena, you'll never guess what happened!" Caroline called hurrying away to sit beside Elena.

I slid into the seat beside Lissa silently and stole a piece of pizza off of her plate. She was too busy flirting with Christian to notice my presence.

"I saw that."

I looked up to see a tall human boy with brown hair and eyes smirking at me.

"She's not hungry anyway," I shrugged, biting on the pizza.

"How do you... the bond," he realised.

I nodded, "Lissa told you."

"Actually, Elena told me," he corrected.

I looked up, surprised.

"Elena's my sister. We went through a rough patch a while ago with keeping things from each other, so we make it a habit to tell the truth," he explained.

"Oh."

"I'm Jeremy," he smiled, holding his hand out.

I held up my greasy fingers smiling, "I'm Rose."

"I know," he replied, putting his hand down.

"So, Jeremy, how much do you know about uh..." I trailed off, unsure of how to phrase my question.

"... everything?" he finished.

I nodded.

"I know everything... or so I like to think," he winked.

I laughed, "Me too."

I put the final piece of pizza into my mouth and looked around the table, smiling at my new life. Yeah, I was gonna like it here.
