London is the main character of the story and is a girl. This will mostly be in 1st person point of view*
JANUARY 24
Today is my first day of junior year at mystic Falls high school and I am easily the first person out of bed, it is currently 5:24am. I'm never been one to sleep in but I am always the last to come out of room in the morning. How can u blame me? I'm too involved in my writing. I always write in my journal in the morning and in the afternoon after I have been at school all day.
I decide to get ready for school and throw on a plain black cropped shirt, a pair of ripped jeans, some worn out converse and added a red jacket. Time felt like it flew past cause when I checked my phone to see the time it was already 7:10am and so I jogged down the stairs to the kitchen. I then see my two siblings,Jeremy and Elena and my aunt Jenna. Elena and I are the same age but we aren't sisters, we're not even related. Our moms were best friends before we were born. Unfortunately my mom died giving birth to me and my dad committed suicide because he couldn't handle the grief of her loss, so then I got adopted by Elena's parents but a few months back, elena and her parents slid off the old wickery bridge and she was the only one who survived. So now Jenna is our legal guardian.
"London, I thought you were sleeping. I was worried I would have to wake you up and rush you out the door" Jenna exclaimed in relief. "Now what am I forgetting", she asked with a slightly panicked face.
"Presentation?", Elena replied in amusement.
"Yess, which i have to meet with the field workers in.. NOW", She announced while looking at her watch. She then hurried out the door reminding us to lock up before we go.
"So who's making breakfast", Jeremy grumbled.
"No one.. If you want breakfast make it your self", I snapped at him in anger and disbelief that he actually thought I would cook for him. I know we've all been going through a rough patch since his and Elena's parents died but he doesn't need to be babied because of it.
"London!!?", Elena replied with annoyance in her tone.
Elena was always the respectful one growing up.
"What?!...ugh whatever, I'm just gonna walk to school. cya there" I grunted
"Don't you wanna ride with bonnie and me?", Elena asked.
"No thanks, not today. I think I'll just walk.. Jer wanna walk with me?", I asked politely.
"No, I've still got things to do before I go to school", Jeremy replied as he walked away leading himself up the stairs into his dungeon of a room.
Elena sighed "I can't believe his life has become like this."
"Are seriously going to pretend like we don't know what he's doing up there. Coz he always looks stoned so it isn't really hard to tell", I said while slowly walking out of the kitchen and grabbing my bag off the couch quietly.
"And are YOU seriously going to pretend that I can't hear you grabbing your bag and about to leave.", Elena added before giving up and knowing I've already given up on the conversation.
Mystic Falls High School
I arrive at school, when I bump into a tall blonde jock when he turns around and I see Matt.
"Sorry, i did-", he says before realising he's talking to me. "oh uh.. sorry London. I've uh.. got to go" he stumbled out of his mouth before hurrying away from me.
Him and Elena dated before Elena and Jeremy's parents died but she broke up with him because she wasn't interested in him anymore. You know, those two friends who think they owe it to themselves to see if they can be more than friends but ultimately end up further apart then before.
But I was never the biggest fan of Matt, like he was nice and all but he just seemed a bit too stereotypical. Like the whole blonde hair, blue eyed jock thing is way to much stereotypical for my liking. At least he wasn't like a school bully.
I then run into Caroline who then starts blurting at me before i can even say anything.
"London!!, have you seen Elena? OMG, IM SO SORRY, are you ok?", She blurted before squeezing me into a air tight hug.
She still thinks I'm incapable of being ok since the death of Miranda and Grayson, like if I wanted to I would say if I was ok, but if I don't say anything then don't ask.
"Yes Caroline, I'm fine. You don't need to ask me everything you see me if I'm ok. Also Elena should be here soon with Bonnie" I replied with haste to change the subject.
"Well, I want to know if your coming to the party in the woods tomorrow night?" Caroline asked before giving me a glare that told me that I didn't have a choice.
"Yeah, I'll go but you can't be picky with what I'm wearing. Ok?", I replied before seeing Bonnie and Elena walk up to us.
"Fine, but wear something nice.. Anyway, hey girls. I was just reminding London about the party in the woods tomorrow and was wondering if you are coming", she stated before also giving Bonnie and Elena the intese stare she gave me earlier.
At that moment I knew it was my que to leave before it was too late.
"Well I should get to class before all the back seats are gone so, I'll see you in English Bonnie", I announced before quickly walking away from the conversation.
After class*
I walked over to where my sister and her friends were sitting, when I stumble over a tree root and a tall, mysterious guy helps me stand up right before I fall to the ground. I then see him take his dark circular glasses off his light face with the sun shining against his face.
"Are you ok?", he asked with his deep masculine voice
I then broke out of my thoughts about the guy and replied "Yes, I'm fine thank you"
"Well be more careful perhaps", he said before walking away.
I caught myself watching him walk away when Caroline broke me out of my gaze towards him.
"OMG, did you just fall into the arms of the new guy", Caroline burster at me in jealousy and amazement at the same time.
"Fall into his arms?!", I replied in shock as if she didn't see me trip and immediately ask if I was ok. "I literally tripped over the damn root caroline!", I blurted in annoyance seeing she didn't even care that I fell.
"Guys, just calm down people are staring" Bonnie added while looking around to see people staring.
"Are you ok London?", Elena said with a soft look towards me.
"Yeah, I'm ok" I replied with a soft voice. My sister always had a way of making me feel better even if I didn't want to.
"Yeah yeah yeah, your fine. Now do you like him or what", Caroline asked intent on getting an answer.
"What, him?", I asked in disbelief "No!, of course not. I don't even know his name."
"His name is stefan Salvatore and lives at the old Salvatore boarding house with his uncle", Caroline explained.
"And you got that much information about him since we first saw him in the corridors this morining", bonnie asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
"Oh Bonnie, of course not. I got all of that between 1 and second period", Caroline replied with what seemed to be pride in her tone.
We all decide to go sit down instead of standing around while some people we're still kinda looking at us.
