First of all I want to thank to everyone, who read and is reading this and to Lulu-144 and Azalia Fox Knightling who had reviewed. Guys it really means a lot to me. I would really appreciate reviews and critics.

The green-eyed blonde could feel everybody's eyes on her. She just had to stay calm and play it cool. She was a good actress and very convincing one. However, Alexandra felt guilt that almost made her cry. She was angry at herself for not contacting them and leaving them. But being stubborn and proud, she would never admit that. The reason she left was that nobody could understand her. Not even Zach, for whom she suspected to be in love with her mother. He always said that Alexandra looked like her mother, the only difference was in the hair's colour. Her mother's colour was light brown, Alexandra's was blonde. This afternoon she had to pay Zack a visit, he used to check on her once in a while. However, he stopped. Alexandra tried to pay attention on the lesson, but she failed knowing that her former best friends were in the same room. She knew everybody, besides a green-eyed boy with light brown hair and having the brooding look. He was hot, but he definitely wasn't her type. Oh and by the visual contact between him and Elena, she could tell that they were in relationship. Elena looked confused – angry and happy at the same time. Caroline was just staring like in front of her was a ghost. And Bonnie was glaring. If these glairs could kill, Alexandra would be dead by now. Mr. Saltzman was on the verge of giving up speaking about The French Revolution, because it appeared that nobody was listening to him. And then the bell rang and the show started...

-You are back..?- asked one of her classmates.

-Yes. – Alexandra replied and then the shower of questions started.

-For how long are you staying?

-Where are you staying?

-Where have you been?

-Don't you have a place to go? Because I have to get for my next class! – Alexandra said angrily.

She left the room and went straight to the girls' restroom. Thank, God, there was nobody. She needed to calm down before going outside again. She was standing there and looking at her reflection. She saw a beautiful girl, she was that type of girls that everyone hated, loved and wanted to be. Outside she was perfect, but inside she was damaged, inside she was already dead. Everyone thought that she had everything, but the truth was that she had nothing. Alexandra was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't hear when the door had opened...

-We have to talk...

Alexandra turned and saw her former best friends.

-About what, Elena?

-How about that you left without saying a word, Alexandra? - This time it was Bonnie.

-Bonnie, stop let her explain…

-I don't have to explain anything, Caroline. It is a decision that I made and I regret about it! I made my mistakes and I do not want anybody to criticize me…You weren't in my situation.

-Hey, Alex, calm down…First I was angry at you, but then I understood what you felt…I also wanted to run away when my parents died…

-Wait, your parents died? When?

-Almost two years ago in a car accident.

-Elena, I am so sorry…

-You don't have to be…You didn't have any relatives to support you, I had Jenna and Jeremy to take care of.

The two girls had tears in their eyes and hugged each other. The other two girls, standing by, joined the hug two.

-And you know, Alexandra Redfern, you weren't alone back then. – said Bonnie Bennett.

-You know we have to celebrate our reunion! – said cheerfully Caroline.

-What about a sleepover…- suggested Bonnie.

Alexandra wasn't keen on the idea for the sleepover. Usually they made their little parties in her house, but right now she couldn't throw a little party in her house. The Redfern's residence wasn't the best place for parties, it still looked like a film set for a horror or a detective. After the investigation, nobody bothered to send a cleaning group. In fact, nobody wanted to enter the house, people was scared to pass by it, as if the murderer of Lillian and Ash Redfern was still lurking in the house. It was mission impossible to find a group to clean up the blood and the mess in this house. When she called an agency and when the secretary heard her name she just hung up. So Alexandra had to clean all the mess alone. As if Elena had read her thoughts she said.

-OK, a sleepover party sounds great. And we are having it in my house…

-But what about Alaric and Jeremy? – asked Bonnie.

-Well, they will spend the night in Stefan's.

-So it is settled then. – asked Alexandra.

-Yup…

-Alex, will you go with me to the market?

-Sorry, Care, but I had to go to a lawyer. I have some troubles with the house's deed.

-OK, then see you later.

-See you, girls at Elena's.

Right now she just came up with one of her big lies, she hadn't any troubles with the house's deed. She had to pay Zack Salvatore a visit. Alexandra was sure that 'uncle' Zack knew something about the secret her mother wrote about in her diary 18 years ago.

The other part of the school day went fast without any troubles. When the last bell rang, Alexandra ran to her car and headed straight to Salvatore's boarding house.
