I woke up with tears pooling in my eyes. The blankets that were meant to be on top of me were thrown around the room. I remembered my dream last night, right now I didn't want to think about it. I flicked open my flip phone, It was 5:23 on a Wednesday morning. I opened my window and but closed it suddenly when a gust of cold air swept through my room, making the goose bumps on my pale skin rise. I shuddered and climbed into my bed pulling my blankets off the floor and pulling them around me. My neck was sticky with sweat and my thick brown hair stuck to it. I knew sleep would no longer come, I was much to scared to sleep anyway, scared the dream would return. I reached for my phone again and instictivley I messaged Stefan. I explained to him about my dream. Five minutes later there was still no reply, usually he replyed in less than two minutes. I assured myself that he was hunting before school.
At Eight Bonnie arrived at my house. Her dark hair toussled with the wind. She smiled and pulled me towards her car, I called a quick goodbye to Aunt Jenna and followed Bonnie.
"Whats wrong with you today?" She asked with a worried tone to her voice. She looked at me with searching eyes, Bonnie could always tell when something was up.
"Nothing I uh-" I tried to come up with an excuse "Just worried about exams thats it" I tried to put on a strong face, but my mind kept flashing scenes from that horrible dream.
Bonnie gave me a puzzled look. "Elena, exams aren't 'till next week."
"I um- I know I'm just worried about how'll I'll do, It's senior year, I can't fail!" I forced a smile.
"Hmm" Bonnie shurgged then started her old car, it gave a moaning noise as if it was angry it was woken up from its sleep.
The car chugged along the main street of Mystic Falls towards the school. The parking lot was slowly being filled with students beat up cars. She searched for Stefan's bright red Porshe in its usuall parking space near the woods, but it was nowhere to be seen. I opened the creaky door of Bonnie's white ford and looked around, near the school building she could see Caroline and Matt hugging and laughing, to her right near the flagpole she could see Jeremy and a few people she could not recongise. He had a lost and sad expression on his face, an expression that now seemed to be planted there afer Anna's disappearence. Directly in front of her was Tyler Smallwood and a few other football players. She shivered when another cold gust blew through the school grounds shaking the trees and blowing the orange and red atumm leaves everywhere. She pulled her scarf tighter arouns her neck and walked towards the school with Bonnie.
As they walked towards the steps Caroline came bounding towards them, with a cheerful smile planted on her face, she looked like a little puppy pounding through the autumn leaves.
"The weather has changed a heap latley, hasn't it? Its so much colder! Guess what that means!" She squeals.
"Um The seasons are changing?" Suggests Bonnie.
"Time for a shopping spree?" I guess.
"God! You guys are clueless!" She shakes her head. "The Atumn Ball is next week! Remember Elena? You signed up to be on the comitee?"
"I did?" I ask, trying to remember when i signed up for this.
She nods, using her hands to prompt me.
"Oh right! I forgot all about it! I'm sorry Caroline."
"So are you still in then?" She asks
"Sure." I smile.
"Great! Our first meeting is at lunchtime, we will be discussing -" She is cut off my the ringing of the school bell, students buzz and push towards the school doors.
"We better go Caroline, I will see you at lunch!" I call out as I leave with Bonnie towards the school.
