Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries, L.J. Smith does, but I do own Liz

Enjoy and tell me what you think:)

When I woke up this morning, I already knew the day was going to suck.

I didn't get that much sleep the night before; I kept waking up every time I closed my eyes, Bonnie's words echoing in my head. What the hell did she mean? It was all very confusing for me.

I was up more than half the night contemplating on her words.

It's only the beginning.

What could it mean?

Jenna had to go to school for a parent teacher conference with one of Jeremy's teachers. Probably about how he keeps skipping class. Jenna said he left early this morning to finish a school project, but we all knew that he went to the hospital to see Vick, or at least I did.

We were all worried about her. Matt's been at the hospital all night with her and we haven't hear anything from him yet.

When it was time for school, I was very groggy. Instead of driving today, I rode with Elena and Bonnie; fearing I would drive off the road because of my lack of sleep.

"Liz, did you hear me?"

"Huh?"

"Guess not," Elena laughed, which brought me out of my thoughts.

Bonnie, Elena and I were currently standing by our lockers, waiting for the bell. I have no idea what they were discussing, but it somehow involved me.

Elena was surprisingly in a good mood which made me happy too; seeing her focused on something else other than our parents was a good thing.

"Sorry, what were you saying Bonnie?" head finally cleared and focused.

"I was saying, don't you think it's time for your twin over here to make a move?" she was referring to Stefan, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Uh, hell yes Elena. Come on he's handsome, charming, and if he can tolerate me than you know you should go for it," we all laughed at the last bit.

"I don't know you guys; I mean it just seems too soon ya'know? I mean what if I'm not ready?" both Bonnie and I give her disbelieving stares.

"Did you just really say that?" a hint of laughter laced through her voice.

"You are Elena Gilbert. Hot and sexy high school student, a cheerleader, and a straight A student. It can't get any better than that and you know it," I give her a pointed look and Bonnie joins me.

"Maybe you guys are right," she drifts off in her own thoughts by the look on her face.

"Oh we know we're right, right Liz?"

"Hell yeah Bonnie,"

We slap each other high fives and then the bell rings.

The day goes by slowly and I have to train myself to not fall asleep in class. But it was becoming more of a challenge than a command. I just wanted to lie down and close my eyes.

Soon it was time for history with Mr. Tanner. He was my least favorite teacher because he always gave his students a hard time. He even called Jeremy a druggie, and always gave Elena and me a hard time.

Today was no different than any other day in history. Mr. Tanner was lecturing us on the comet that was going to be overhead tonight. It was pretty cool actually, though it did make me tired. I stifled a yawn and looked over at Elena. She and Stefan were smiling at each other.

"Are we bothering you?" Mr. Tanner interrupted their little moment.

"Mr. Salvatore, Ms. Gilbert." They just grinned at each other.

The bell rang and we all pilled out of the room. Stefan and Elena walked out together while I went off to math. I got there early and rested my head for awhile. When the bell rang, the lesson began. I zoned out for most of it. I knew I had to get rest because I had plans tonight. Since it was the night of the comet, Elena and Bonnie and I were handing out programs, and I'm suppose to help my art class paint a mural of the town.

When the bell rang, I headed out to my locker. Since it was lunch now, I went to go meet off with Elena. I found her by her locker and together we set off. We ran into Matt along the way and asked him how Vicky was doing.

"They're gonna keep her over night to make sure there's no infection, but she'll be home by tomorrow," he explained to us as we walked.

"That's good," I said.

"Did you get in touch with your mom?" Matt's mom frequently left them alone all the time, it was really sad.

"She's in Virginia Beach with her boyfriend; see how long it takes for her to get home," I felt so bad for them. I mean their own mother spends more time with her boyfriend than she does with her own children.

"She's lucky to be alive," I point out.

"I know but its all weird and everything. Now there's talk of some missing campers, it's just weird,"

"Did she say what kinda animal it was that attacked her?" I asked out of curiosity.

"She said it was a vampire," we all paused.

"What?" Elena asks with amusement.

"Yeah, she wakes up and mutters 'vampire' than passes out cold,"

"Okay, that's just weird,"

"I think she was drunk,"

Matt than asked how Elena and Stefan were doing, more if they're together yet or not. It was all very awkward if you ask me. He then said that he was going back to the hospital to be wit Vicky. Matt leaves and then it's just the two of us. Elena turns her head around and looks at an empty table.

"What's up?"

"Oh nothing, just had this feeling,"

"Okay, I hope Vicky's gonna be okay," I cross my arms and we continue walking.

"Yeah, me too. Hey you're gonna hand out programs with Bonnie and I tonight right?" she asked out of the blue.

I gave her a pointed look.

"Of course I am, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Although I may be a little late cause I have the mural to do for art," we make our way back to my locker this time. I get my books for the rest of the day.

"Oh yeah that's right, I almost forgot about that. So what're you guys doing?"

"You know I can't tell you Elena,"

"Oh come on just one little hint?" she gives me her puppy dog eyes. I only laugh.

"Sorry sis, no can do. Besides, I don't even know what we're doing yet," we walk down the hallway.

"Liar,"

"Okay, so I do know but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you," we stand outside the art room. The bell rings and the hallways fill with students.

"Fine, be that way. I'll see you after school,"

"Later Elena,

"See ya Liz,"

The class begins with our teacher saying how great of an honor it is to be able to do a mural for the down. The theme is the unity of the town and how the comet brings mystery and wonder to the people. So we basically had to create the town in a painting with a bunch of other stuff painted in to it.

The bell finally rings and I head out to meet Bonnie and Elena. The three of us meet outside of school and we make our way over into town. Elena suggests that we head over to the small café before we being tonight. Caroline joins us too. Bonnie begins telling us more about her lineage.

"Well I was talking to Grams and she said the comet is a sign of impending doom. The last time it passed over Mystic Falls there was a lot of death. So much blood and carnage that it created paranormal activity."

Now that was something that interested me. I mean knowing the history of something that's important to our town really fascinated me. Okay, I know I sound like a nerd.

"Yeah and then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens," Caroline put in. honestly, the girl could be such a pain sometimes it's not even funny.

She turned to Elena, "So then what?"

"So then nothing," she flustered.

"You and Stefan talked? All night? There was no sloppy first kiss or touchy feeling of any kind?" she asked with an incredulous look on her face.

"Nope, we didn't go there,"

"Okay, how come you didn't tell me he was over last night? I mean I'm your sister. Come on, I get all the gossip first," I pointed out to her.

"Well like I said before Liz, we only talked. There is no gossip to be told,"

"Not even a handshake? Elena come on, we are your friends and Liz is your sister, so share," Caroline was digging to the point.

"We just talked for hours," Elena said honestly.

"Okay, what is with the blockage? Just jump his bones already!" both Bonnie and I look at her with disgusting glances.

"Oh Caroline, haven't you ever heard of taking it slow? Some people still do that ya know," I said to her.

"Okay ignoring Liz for the moment," I glare at her, "It's simple, boy likes girl, girl likes boy, sex."

Caroline has a smug, satisfied smirk on her face. Elena looks like she's thinking over it and then suddenly gets up, and grabs her stuff.

"Where're you going?" Bonnie asks.

"Caroline's right" I give her a disbelieving stare. "It is easy. If I sit here long enough and talk myself out of it, then I won't do what it told myself to do at the start of the day," she smiles and then leaves.

"Ugh Caroline," I whine like a little kid.

"What, I just told her what she needed to do."

"Yeah but, I don't want to come home and find her jumping him on the couch. I have virgin eyes you know?" should not have said that.

"I know, speaking of which you're next," she smirks.

"What'd you mean?" I give her a suspicious glance.

"It's high time you found yourself a boyfriend Liz,"

"Oh don't start this,"

"I'm serious, you've been single for way too long." I look to Bonnie for help but she just shakes her head.

"I have to agree with her on this one Liz, you need a guy in your life."

"For what? To talk to? To make out with and whatnot? If I wanted to talk to someone I'd talk to Elena,"

"Actually I was going along the lines of getting you laid,"

"Oh you can't be serious?" even though I knew she was.

"Yes I am, and as one of your closest friends, I have to approve the guy,"

"You make me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside Care," I just shake my head.

"Oh and if you don't find one within a week, I'm picking him out for you."

"You are unbelievable,"

"That's why you love me," we all laugh and finish our coffee.

After talking with the girls, I headed over to the town square where the art class is supposed to meet. Caroline's words registered through my head. Do I really need a boyfriend right now? I mean seriously, I'm not that desperate. But I haven't had a boyfriend for almost five months. Maybe they're right and I do need to find a guy. But who? I know almost everyone in this town and they know me.

When I get to the town square, I see students already beginning on the mural. I take my place next to another girl and begin. I start out light and then begin to go heavy on the paint. This is how I work. I mixed in dark colors with lights to contrast the pattern. I was working on the comet. I started painting the bright white streaks that burn throughout the sky. I soon lost myself in my work and didn't notice how much time had passed since I started.

"Hey Liz, ready to go?"

"Huh?" I turned around and saw Elena. She looked a little down.

"We have to go meet Bonnie remember?"

"Uh yeah, just give me a sec," I went to go clean up my station and told my teacher I was heading out.

We walked through town, handing out flyers as we did so. I kept noticing how down Elena looked. I mean she was happy before when I last saw her.

"Okay, spill," I demanded.

"What're you talking about?" she seemed all innocent, but I knew better. This is the perks of being a twin, even if you're fraternal.

"I know something happened and I want you to tell me," I handed a program to a passing couple.

"It's nothing Liz really,"

"Apparently it is because you seem all sad and everything and I wanna know what's going on."

"Well I went to Stefan's after the talk with Caroline and Bonnie," she paused.

"Yeah…"

"And I met Stefan's brother," I stopped shortly and turned to her.

"Wait, Stefan has a brother? And he didn't tell you?" weird.

"Yeah, his name's Damon,"

"Odd name, it's like there from a different century with those names."

"It's something along those lines, but yeah."

"So what happened?" I urged on. I was now interested.

"Well he told me Stefan was just getting over his ex, Katherine."

"Oh, that's not good," we walk some more.

"Yeah right, what if he's on the rebound or something and I'm just there for fun?"

"Elena, you and I both know that he's so into you. Let's wait for Bonnie and see what she says since I apparently have no guys in my life from which I can relate to you and your situation at this moment." I grumble.

"Let me guess, Caroline's gonna find you a boyfriend?" she laughs.

"It is so not funny. If anything she'll find me someone who she'll want to date. Lucky me right?"

"Oh yes lucky you."

So what do you guys think?:) Please read and review:)
