Before you start reading this chapter, I have to let you know, that this isn't the complete version of Chapter 2. So think of this as Chapter 2.1. I am still writing the rest of the chapter. What happened is that I was writing the chapter and it was getting too long for one upload so I'm spreading the chapter among multiple uploads. I want the actual end of the chapter to be a certain way so I have to keep writing it until I get to that part, because I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to upload the other part tomorrow, and if there is another part, I'm going to upload that on Wednesday.

I don't own the Vampire Diaries. The only thing in the story that is my creation is Chelsea and her family

Enjoy!

~So Far: Chelsea has just moved to Mystic Falls 2 weeks before school starts. Her parents and herself are going to eat their dinner at the Mystic Grill (on their first official day there). They are not completely moved into their house yet, and that is why they are eating out.~

When I got downstairs I looked around. It was actually starting to look like someone lived here, instead of it being empty. "Chelsea, are you ready to go?" I heard my mom ask. I nodded and went out the door. I sat in the back seat of my parent's car as we drove to the Mystic Grill. The whole ride there I was looking out the window at the houses. Some of them look similar to each other while others are different. As we got closer to the grill I saw what looks like a park with benches and trees. I liked it already because it looked peaceful. We reached the grill just shortly after passing the park. I got out the car and looked across the street. It was the park I saw before. From where I was standing, it looked bigger than looking at it from the car. I had felt something poke my back. I turned around and saw that it was my dad. He took my attention away from the park and brought it to the grill.

I walked into the grill after my mom but before my dad because he held the door open for us. We ended up sitting at a table that was almost in the middle of the place. I sat down on a chair that's facing away from the door. My mom sat opposite of me and my dad sat to the left of her, so he was to the right of me. I looked at the menu that the waitress left for me, which my mom and dad also had one. There was a good amount of food on there, the most expensive thing on the menu is ravioli and lasagna. A couple minutes of looking at the menu and I found one of my favorite foods, pizza burger. The pizza burger is one of my favorite foods, that was depending on the place where they served it. At some places they were more like a hamburger with tomato sauce and cheese on it, and other places it actually tasted like a pizza inside of meat. Some places are different so I wanted to try the pizza burger here.

After about 5 minutes the waitress came over and took our order. My mom ordered a chicken breast sandwich with a side of onion rings, and coffee to drink. My dad ordered a hot ham and cheese sandwich with a side of chicken tenders, and like my mom he also is having coffee to drink. I ordered the pizza burger with a side of waffle fries and some root beer soda to drink. The waitress brought us our drinks before we got out food so we wouldn't have to wait just in case we got thirsty.

"So I was thinking that after we eat, that we could go grocery shopping and put some food into our refrigerator" my mom suggested. I liked the idea because I like shopping in general and because we would have some food in the house so we could have breakfast at home.

"I think that's a good idea mom" I told her after thinking about it a little bit. I looked at my dad and I saw that he nodded agreeing with me and mom. It only felt like a couple of minutes later when our food had come. Just by the smell I could tell it was going to taste good. One bite into my pizza burger and I could tell I have a new favorite place to go for them. About halfway through it, I remembered that I had some fries too. The first fry I tried without ketchup, and it was pretty good, not as good as McDonald's fries, but they were good. Then I tried one with ketchup, and man was it good. It was amazing what a little bit of ketchup could do for the taste of something. When I think food is this good, I try to take my time eating it so I can savor the taste.

Not long after, I was done with my burger, but I still had fries and soda left. I took a break from eating and I took a look up and saw that my parents were almost done with their food as well. Usually I finish first because I am a fast eater, but I think we were all hungry because we didn't eat much else today, and all we could get today was the food that we ordered. I think that is one reason that my mom wanted to go grocery shopping, is so that way if we were really hungry we could make a big dinner and save the leftovers, if there was any left. The waitress soon came to take out empty plates, and before she left with them, she left our bill on the table. My mom got up and went towards the bathrooms while my dad went to pay the bill.

I sat there while my mom went to the bathroom and my dad went to pay the bill. I looked around the Mystic Grill, and boy was it busy. Okay, maybe not as busy as some places would be but this place had lots of people here compared to anywhere else I have been. Which goes to say I've haven't been to many places, seeing as we would usually eat at home. As I was looking around I saw a man that was wearing a leather jacket. He has black hair and I saw his blue eyes as he turned to me. Wait, was he looking at me? I quickly turned and lowered my head in embarrassment and I think I even blushed a little.

I took out my I-pod from my pocket, put my headphones in, and quickly looked for a video to watch. I just chose one and it started playing. It was an old podcast episode on here that my brother put it on my i-pod when he last barrowed it. I just never took it off because in case he wanted to watch it, and plus it is kinda funny. About 30 seconds into the video I was already enjoying it. Then again I've always liked this episode because, well, I don't know. I just found it funny the first 2 times I've watched it. Another minute into it came one of my favorite parts when one of the characters says "checkmate, I sunk your battleship" when what they are doing as absolutely nothing to do with those two games. One of the other characters says "joey, you redefine what it means to be a moron".

I heard a noise and looked up, my mom had returned from the bathroom, but my dad was still in line to pay the bill. I paused my i-pod when my mom asked, "What ya watching?"

"Just something Dylan put on my i-pod before he left" I answered. "Would you mind if you dropped me off at home before going grocery shopping? I asked my mom as my dad approached the table from paying the bill.

"I wouldn't mind" she said before she turned her head to my dad who nodded his head in agreement.

"Are you ready to go?" my dad asked me after I took and ear bud from my headphones out of one of my ears.

"Can I finish my soda first?" I asked which there really wasn't much left to it, but I want to stay just a little bit longer to see if that guy I saw before would talk to me or anything. I'm already thinking about guys and I just moved here? What's wrong with me? I usually don't think about a guy talking to me until I actually get to know his name or at least get to know a little bit about him.

"sure you can" my dad said, he always knows I want to make sure there is no soda left in the cup, so he didn't think that there was an alternate meaning behind what I said. I looked at my i-pod and switched out of the podcast and when to a playlist that I made before we moved here. I started playing it and a good volume so I could still hear if someone wanted to talk to me.

After about five minutes I had finished my soda, we got up to leave. As we reached to door I looked back into the grill, and I saw the guy from before looking at me from the bar. I felt a little nervous so I took a deep breath and walked out the door to my parent's car. They weren't that far ahead of me so they didn't noticed that I took a second to look back into the grill. When I got in, I put my seatbelt on and looked out the window still listening to my i-pod.

"Chelsea, are you going to stay in the car the rest of the night?" My mom said which broke me away from the music, and made me realize that we were back at the house.

"No," I started, "I was just absorbed in the music." Which was true, and it almost always happened when I listened to those songs. I got out the car and went into the house straight to my room.

I know that this chapter isn't really that interesting so far, but I can tell you that the next part, Chapter 2.2 will be more interesting. I guess it's easy to say that Chelsea get's embarrassed easily and she is kind of shy.
The podcast that she watched some of on her I-pod is an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. It's episode 11... In America (that's the actual title).

I start school again tomorrow, but I'm going to try and upload 2.2 tomorrow before I leave, if not, I'm pretty sure I can when i get there.

Please review with your comments and what you think so far. Constructive criticism is helpful, and your ideas on what might happen are fun to read.
