hey guys. Sorry this is late again. I dont have a real excuse this time :c( well i hope you like this chapter! I got an idea for the next few!

I do not own vampire diaries...i only own the family i placed, and Serines oc friends.

I woke up to my alarm blaring in my ears. I sat up groggily and hit the off button. I yawned and stretched up, when I remembered yesterday's occurrences.

I jumped out of bed with a random burst of energy. I put my ear to my closet and heard snoring. My face broke out into a smile. I ran to the other side of the room and picked out clothes.

'What should I wear today?' I thought to myself

I decided on a black t-shirt that my friends from Pennsylvania had signed their names on with a silver sharpie, and some old, comfortable jeans. I just pulled on my socks, and my converse that my friend drew elephants on.

I brushed out my hair, and put it into a loose pony-tail. After I threw on some eye liner and lip gloss, I wrote a note to peter, reminding him of the schedule of when people left and came home.

I ran down the stairs to see my dad sitting and reading the paper, just like yesterday. I looked at the time and decided I had enough time to sit for a few minutes and watch the news. My dad looked at me over his newspaper and smiled.

"Morning sunshine," He said. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I smiled back.

"Morning dad."

"How are you princess?" This time I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"I'm fine. You?"

"I'm great thank you. It is a beautiful day, I have my beautiful daughter here with me, I have my beautiful wife and step-daughters that are going out to dinner with—"he stopped short. He then started again "Are you going to be busy tonight? Me and Cheyenne are taking the girls out tonight for a celebration for winning their cheerleading title. You can come."

I thought about it. It was kind of obvious he wasn't used to me being here, so it makes sense that he forgot to ask me to go to dinner with him. So, to make it less awkward for all of us, and so I could have more time with peter, I decided to decline.

"No thanks, I have to study for a test I have. I want to be more comfortable with the material. Plus I have more unpacking to do." I smiled so he knew it wasn't personal. Even if it kind of was.

He looked relieved. Cheyenne came in then, looking very professional again, as always. She smiled at me. "Good morning Serine. Would you like a ride home again today? I could just do it every day if you would like." She asked me with a natural smile on her face. I nodded. I liked her. She could be a little over perfect, but she could be likable. Before anyone could say anything else, I stood back up and grabbed my backpack. "Bye!" I yelled over my shoulder as I walked out.

I walked down the street, wondering if today would be like yesterday. Maybe Elena got her car fixed, and I was cursed to be bullied by Caroline all year? I sighed but smiled when I saw Kaylene in the same spot as yesterday.

I walked next to her. "Morning Kaylene!" I said cheerfully

She smiled back at me and said in a quiet voice "Good morning Serine. How are you?"

"Good, how about you?" I asked.

"Tired and cold," she laughed a little. "School will be boring today. It's just a review in most of my classes."

"How are you cold? It's so nice out!" I was surprised.

She opened her mouth to answer when she started glaring at something over my shoulder.

I turned and saw Damon stepping out of a car. He was in jeans, a black t-shirt and the same leather jacket as yesterday. He waved at me when he saw me looking. I was confused but waved back half-heartedly.

He walked over to me and Kaylene. She seemed pretty mad. I wondered why she was so upset over the appearance.

"Do you two need a ride to school?" He asked casually.

"Did you wake up early, get ready, and drive out here just to give us a ride to school?" My face turned from questioning to skeptical.

He smiled slyly. "I got a job at the school. I was passing by and noticed you two here. I decided to be a good Samaritan and see if you wanted a ride to school." He had a look of mock hurt on his face. "And this is how I am treated. Nice to know how you feel."

"Thanks Damon. Wait, you got a job at the school? You? A job? With real people? Don't make me laugh." Kaylene asked. I had never expected her to be like this. Luckily I saw the bus coming down the street. Damon seemed to enjoy making her frustrated so I quickly intervened.

"Thanks for the offer Damon, but the bus is here already. Maybe tomorrow!" I threw him a quick smile and dragged Kaylene to the front of the line so she was away from Damon A.S.A.P.

Jenna wasn't here today so I sat with Kaylene on the bus. I let her have the window seat though, because she told me she loves it, even though Jenna gets it each time. She didn't even talk about the scene with Damon. We had a conversation about our pets. I was told her about my border collie, and she had a husky mix named sage, and a boxer named Eli. Apparently Eli was just a funny little bundle of energy.

We were talking when I looked over a few seats and saw Caroline. She was pouting again. The bus stopped and Elena and Stefan came on the bus. I was excited to see Elena again; I had really clicked with her. Stefan seemed really nice too; I just hadn't had a chance to really talk to him.

The two seemed worried while walking down the bus aisle. They sat across the aisle from me, with Elena on the outside. She turned to me and her look brightened considerably. I could still see that something was upsetting her by a look in her eyes.

"How was your first day?" She asked me.

"It was good," I said, "A lot better than I thought it would be."

She smiled "I'm glad. If anyone bothers you, please let me be the first to know. No one would do it again." She seemed tough, but I wasn't sure if anyone would really be afraid of her.

I just smiled back. "Thank you. Do you think anyone around here really would though?"

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah. You are lucky that you haven't met any of them yet. They can be real pain in the asses."

I laughed. "Yeah it seems as if every school has a few of those, huh?"

She laughed with me. "Yes. Right Stefan?" She asked her boyfriend. He leaned forward so he could see me and nodded. "Stefan has been to a few different schools."

"And each one, without a doubt had a few jerks of its own. Usually my brother was one of them." Stefan chuckled.

Then I remembered Damon. "Oh, Damon? Yeah, I met him yesterday. He seems…nice…" I trailed off, with a grimace, letting them finish the sentence.

They both looked at each other and laughed a little. Elena looked worried again. "How do you know Damon?" She asked me, casually, but probably not as subtle as she would have liked.

"We met yesterday when I was waiting for my ride home."

"He's trouble. You should try to stay away." This came from Kaylene though, who must have been listening to our conversation. She made eye contact with Stefan and I saw her nod.

This town is so weird.
