As a blonde

Chapter 1

After 4 hours:

Stefan Salvatore is the new student. Tall, green eyes, beautiful features and perfect smile. And a good company when you want to break out of madness. I'm happy that the principal was so inspired and convinced him to ask me to show him the school. By now, he was very sweet and polite and even made a few friends.

"I think you'll like our school. People here are really nice..once you get to know them better." I hesitate when I say the last part, thinking about Tyler and Elena. I saw them at lunch laughing in the mess hall and since then their laughs seem to haunt me like an echo.

"Oh, yes, I'm sure. Thank you for being nice to me, it was a nice start."

He smiles and I remember that right now I'm sitting next to a gorgeous boy so I forget about Elena and Tyler and ask him a few questions about his old school:

"So..you're coming from?"

"Chicago, the windy city."

"Oh my god, I always wanted to go there! I heard it's amazing! Why would anyone want to move from Chicago? Don't you miss it, I mean Mystic Falls can't even compare to it!"

"Actually, when you look closer and from a different perspective..Mystic Falls is great. I really like history and I know a lot about this place. I've been here before."

"Oh, when?" How I wish someone would learn to look deeper...Stefan seems unreal. Beautiful, smart, charming. There has to be something about him-maybe he can't play football?

"A long time ago.." He says. He takes a deep breath and I see a mute sadness dancing in his green eyes. I decide not to ask him anything about his past and I find another subject:

"Well, look Elena, Barbie has a new friend!"

"Oh my god, Tyler, you're right!"

And the two nightmares walk in-Tyler smiling, showing his perfect, white theet and Elena following him, grinning. I bite my lip, praying the time to stop so I could run far away from here-it can't be happening. It's like they have to ruin everything...

"You can't talk to her like that!"

"Who says?" No, please don't fight! I'm torn apart- I don;t want Stefan to talk like this with Tyler because I still love him, but Tyler started everything..In fact, Stefan was really sweet..I can't blame him.

"Stop!" I yell, knowing that is better to avoid to continue the argument. "Stefan, lets go! I take his hand and when we touch I feel like my head is spinning round. I feel dizzy-his hand seems to fit perfectly in my hand. While I walk away I feel like I'm flying, living at the speed of sound, in a perfect moment that lasts forever. He stops and we stare at each other, with his hand holding mine tight. Now I'm breathless, frozen. I can't speak and I can't take my eyes off him. He smiles and says:

"Don't worry. I won't let him treat you like this. You're too sweet and he doesn't deserve you're attention."

I mumble: "Thank you..no need.."

"Umm, what did you say?"

"You don't need to do that.."

"Hey, Caroline, you have been nice to me. Now it's my time to return you the favor." He smiles then leaves. I stare at him leaving, counting his steps..One..two..three..four..He protected me. He didn't care Tyler is the most popular boy in school, he simply fought with him. Yes, Tyler..doesn't deserve it..or does he? Maybe a litlte lesson it's not bad...He has a good heart, I know it! And that's why I love him. Because I know who really is. He changed, but I know that the sweet guy is still a part of him. And Stefan..he didn't deserve it too. He's a good friend. I really want him around me, I need positive people in my life right now.

After school, at the Mystic Falls Grill:

"You know..Stefan is soo hot!"

"Meredith Sulez, what happened with you? You don't call guys hot!" I say while laughing. It's Meredith falling for him? Is she falling in love for the first time?

"You know, I have an essay at biology about global now I know what to write-Stefan Salvatore is the cause!" Vicki screams. These two really need some help. I don't think Stefan likes them, he doesn't seem the type to fall easy in love.

"Well, I hope the Stefan Fever isn't contagious!"

"Oh, you better don't catch it!" Vicki mocks me playfully.

"Caroline, you're safe. He isn't a douche bag, so you'll be fine!"

After Meredith says it I want to confront her."Tyler isn't a douche bag."

"I don't want to be mean with you, but people change. And he is all over Elena! It's so obviously that he likes her."

"Thank you for being helpful, Meredith!" I say with sarcasm, trying to hide my pain.

"Nothing will help you more than the truth!"

"You didn't even have a boyfriend-you never had one! And you think you're the one to give me advice?" I yell at her revolted. Sometimes life is unfair.

Meredith stands up and leaves, storming out of the Grill. Me and Vicki look at her. An annoying silence cuts away our conversation. She starts playing with her phone while I look at the big TV on the wall. Another news about people found dead in the forest. I hope they catch the monster soon, it's just..wrong to do that! No one has the right to do this. Our lives our greatest art and our biggest gift.

Finally, Vicki says something:

"You know, Tyler is starting to estrange you from your friends. First Elena, now Meredith. And you are sad almost all the time...Maybe you should try to forget about him..for a while."

"I don't need Elena., she's just a traitor..I don't want to talk about her" I reply, trying not to think about what she said.

"Ok..Please don't be mad at me. I wanted just to help you."

"Ok. Let's leave now."

She doesn't say anything and we go and pay the bill. We both go home, talking about small things. I regret that I said those things to Meredith. We have been very close since..the whole Elena-Tyler thing.

"Hey Caroline. I wanted to ask you. I am throwing a party on Friday at my place, do you want to come? Tyler will be here too.."

I smile when I hear his name.

"Yes, I'll come. You know, blondes have more fun so I need to prove that. Can I invite Stefan? You know, I want him to feel good.."

"Actually, I was going to ask you that. He seems a really nice guy."

"Yes, he is really nice." I remember what he said to me today and I smile again.

Stefan's P.O.V:

I'm finally home, after a full day. It wasn't that hard to integrate, I met some really nice people. I'm happy that I met Caroline. Maybe I'll learn in time how to be human again, taking one step at a time. It's a new beginning,a new start./ The don't know what I really am, so my staying in Mystic Falls will be quiet. People around here seem down-to-earth , I bet they don't believe in stories with fairies, vampires and princesses.

I hear someone knocking at the door. Maybe is Mrs. Flowers, I should not let her wait.

I open the door and someone ..knocks me flat.
