You are not Worthless
Prologue:
EPOV
"Hey! That was mine! You can't just take it from me!"
"Well next time don't bring money to school slut. Everyone knows I take it."
I was furious. It was my first day at Mystic Falls High, and it sucked. Being a freshman is bad enough but she just moved here from Richmond to live with my Aunt Jenna and soon-to-be-uncle, Alaric Saltzman. I remembered coming to Mystic Falls to visit a lot as a kid, but I never pictured myself living here in this ridiculously small town running away from my terrible demons. Now, I have to go to a new school without having any friends and this bitch, I think her name is Vicki, just jumped me and stole all the money out of my fucking wallet. From the looks of her, it was probably to pay the first crack seller on the block.
"I swear I am not in the mood. I don't want to fight you, but I NEED my cash back."
I was about to explode. I didn't want to cause trouble on my first day, but I will attack this druggie if I have to. She did not want to mess with me. I may be small but I have been through too much to stand down to insane fucking druggie. I was Elena Gilbert. Problems and issues followed me wherever I go, and I will not lose my shit because of this bitch.
"Get your own money now, skinny girl." Vicki snarled. "Unlike you, I seem to have something that makes me happy. YOU on the other hand look like nothing more than a sad, ugly, tight ass loser."
My knuckles white, red pounding in my eyes and steam seeping from my ears, I launched my entire body at her with the force of tiger. I managed to knock the wind out of her when a pair of strong arms threw me away from the skank, and held me down. I flailed and squirmed until he grabbed my head and forced it to his ice blue eyes.
"Hey. HEY! Calm down. Okay? Please she isn't worth it. VICKI! Get your drugged ass out of here or I swear to fucking god I WILL make you regret it!"
I swerved my head around to see Vicki had disappeared, and I don't blame her. This guy seemed pretty scary if you got on his bad side. I cautiously arched my head up to look at the man that stopped me from getting into a worthless fight. He looked a couple years older than me and was the most freaking gorgeous man I have ever laid eyes on. I swear the angels carved him out of the smoothest marble, and it looked like the Mediterranean Ocean poured into his eyes. His hair was raven black, but his eyes were the shade of sapphires. I could tell with one look, he got women to worship him.
"Well you must be new. Sorry Vik was hounding you. She tends to attack new kids that way she doesn't have to work as hard to make her own money for drugs."
The beautiful stranger cocked his head slightly to the side. He ocean deep eyes stared at me like he was reading my soul; almost as if he was finding out all of my secrets through my eyes.
"I'm Damon Salvatore. I'm a junior here and on the varsity baseball team. I'm pretty amazing." He winked at me and gave me a full on cocky smirk.
"I'm Elena Gilbert; freshman and writer." I stated with a lack of confidence.
I knew I wasn't pretty. My mother told me all the time that I should have looked more like HER. I, apparently, wasn't worthy enough to be considered Miranda and Grayson Gilbert's daughter. SHE was the one with the looks, the charm, the attention, and the popularity. I was just a worthless, ugly piece of crap they used to keep HER grades up.
"Well why don't you come with me, we'll get lunch, and you can tell me all about what you want to write about?" He asked sincerely.
I peered at him with amazement. He wants to hang out with ME? Why would an junior in high school want to spend time with an ugly duckling freshman like me?
"You're serious? Has the testosterone gotten to your brain? You must be desperate to get some action." I blurted without thinking. Now I know I just ruined it.
What came next was totally unexpected. He fell on the floor and LAUGHED. He fucking LAUGHED. I thought I had offended him into hating me forever, but he was now on the floor griping his sides, trying to remember how to breathe.
"Jesus, kitten. You are feisty. I can tell now we are going to be best of friends. Now, come one and let's get something to eat." He smirked and dared me to tell him no.
That day right there was the beginning of something I didn't think I was ever going to be prepared for.
Thanks for reading my first ever post on FanFiciton! Please review and tell me what you think! I would really like to know if I should continue this.
