Thanks you Alexis, for my first review. It doesn't even have to be much, just after thoughts or something, to know you're reading. ;D

Chapter 1 – Back to School

Sakura and Leilani head into Mystic Falls High School and met up with Elena and Bonnie outside. "Glad to see you showed up," Bonnie laughed, seeing Sakura.

"Didn't have much of a choice," Sakura sighed. Between Zack's early morning calls and Leilani, there was no way for her to skip school. At least not yet!

They walked through the halls, heading for their lockers. Apparently, Leilani had given Zack money to pay the school to get things they way she wanted. As long as no one found out, it was okay. The school definitely needed the money. "Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beach, she still looks hot. Can we still say tranny mess?" Bonnie commented.

"No, that's over," Elena sighed and leaned against the locker.

Bonnie opened her locker, "Find a man, coin a phrase. Busy year." Bonnie motioned to behind Elena. She turned and saw Matt, she smile softly and gave him a small wave. Matt frowned and closed his locker after taking out his books.

"He hates me now," Elena sighed.

"He doesn't hate you," Bonnie told her.

"You two broke up, give it some time. He'll come around," Leilani pat Elena's are comfortingly.

"Elena, oh my god how are you?" Caroline was glad to see her in school. She came up to her and gave her a big, slightly uncomfortable hug. "How is she, is she good?" Caroline asked Bonnie, even though Elena was right there.

"Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine, thank you. Didn't I just see you yesterday," Elena smiled.

"Really? But it's school now," Caroline wasn't convinced and pointed out the difference.

"Yeah," Elena replied.

"You poor thing," Caroline gave her another hug. Then she finally noticed Leilani and Sakura standing there. "Welcome back to school Leilani, Sakura," she smiled and gave Leilani a hug then gave Sakura a fake smile. "You know what Sakura, I want to start things over between us. We only hang out because of common friends, but I want to change that," she smiled convincingly and gave Sakura a hug. Sakura pat her on the back awkwardly and tried to smile.

"Alright, I see you guys later," Caroline left.

"No comments on what just happened, okay," Sakura sighed and they headed off.

"Hold up, who's this?" Bonnie stopped them as they walked by the office. There was a male teenager, with short brown hair, wearing a leather jacket talking with the secretary.

"We can only see his back," Leilani commented.

"It's a hot back," Bonnie replied.

"How can you tell it's a hot back? Is it the jacket?" Sakura laughed. It had seemed like there was a problem with his papers. The secretary and the guy talked very briefly and it seemed like the secretary zoned out. Sakura got a chill down her spine and knew there was something different, maybe even something dark, about this guy.

"I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays a guitar," Bonnie eyed him.

"Really, I was thinking a little more eastern. But definitely a guitar," Leilani commented.

"You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground now," Elena sighed.

"Pretty much," Bonnie replied.

"Psychic thing? Has Grams been talking about magic again?" Sakura asked.

"Yup, she went on and on about it all summer," Bonnie sighed.

"There might be something to it," Sakura smiled mischievously. "It's in your blood," Sakura laughed evilly.

"Scary," Leilani commented, "But might be true."

Elena saw Jeremy walk into the bathroom grumpy. "I'll be right back," Elena rushed after him.

"Oh yeah, Bonnie. What was with you yesterday. You zoned out and then said something about having to talk to me," Sakura said remembering yesterday.

Bonnie fidgeted as if it was something hard to say. "Well, when I touched you, I had a vision of a raven," Bonnie explained.

"I thought you didn't really buy into the things Grams said?" Sakura asked her.

"I'm skeptical, but really starting to wonder," Bonnie sighed.

"Wonder if it was a familiar," Sakura said seriously when Leilani interrupted.

"He's turning around," Leilani whispered.

They both turned to see and all the while Bonnie was wishing, out loud, that he would be hot. They stared at him as he walked by. Leilani and Bonnie smiled after seeing him. They then headed off for history class. Which, because of Leilani's mischievous ways, they all had together. But so did the new guy and Matt. Elena and the new guy exchanged glances, which the girls and Matt noticed. Leilani texted Elena, "Hottie is staring you!" and Elena smiled.

After school Sakura headed to the graveyard, to see her family's graves. It had been a long time since she was there. She brought 3 red roses, one for each of her parents and one for her older brother. She sighed as she set the roses down. A raven then flew by, way to close for comfort and Sakura stumbled back. She couldn't see the bird anymore, but she could definitely hear it. Suddenly fog started to appear out of nowhere. Sakura tied to make her way out of the fog when she heard the bushes rustling. It had sounded as if someone had fallen. She finally came to a clearing when she saw Elena and the new guy.

"I'm Elena," Sakura heard her.

"I'm Stefan," he replied.

"I know, we have history together," Elena smiled. Sakura wasn't sure if she should approach them. They seemed to be having a moment. She didn't want to leave Elena alone either, she had an eerie feeling about Stefan.

"And English and French," he added. Sakura hid behind a tree and tried to ignore their conversation. But she couldn't help overhear about Stefan having a ring, which apparently was from his family. Sakura glanced around the tree to look at it. It looked really familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it. It might have been in the history books and items she had looked at, when she studied the background of Mystic Falls and it's founders. There were a lot of fishy and mystical things in it's history. Guess that's why the town's name suited it.

"Oh, would you look at that," Sakura came out from behind the tree when Stefan asked if Elena had hurt herself.

"That doesn't look good," Sakura said approaching them. Stefan had turned his head away when Elena tried to show her injury. "Let me help," Sakura pulled out bandaging from her bag.

"Thanks. You carry that with you?" Elena questioned her.

"Yeah, I used to get into fights a lot. So Leilani told me to bring them," Sakura laughed.

"You should take her home," Stefan told Sakura.

Elena tried to laugh it off, but when they turned around, there was no one there. Stefan had left, or seemingly disappeared within seconds. Making Sakura all them more suspicious of him. "Let's just go Elena, get a real treatment for it. The bandage will help stop the bleeding, but you have to make sure its clean and what-not," Sakura ushered her away. "I'll give you a ride," Sakura smiled as they made their way to her Impala.

"What were you doing here by the way?" Elena asked as she got into the passengers side.

"Visiting my parents grave, and you?" Sakura asked.

"Same," Elena sighed.

"Getting tired of the 'Are you okay's' yet?" Sakura asked, knowing how Elena felt.

"You could say that," Elena sighed "Does it get better?" Elena asked.

"Sort of, people do stop asking though. If that helps any," Sakura replied with a sincere smile. Sakura started the car and headed to Elena's house. "I'll tell Leilani I'm at your place," Sakura told Elena. Elena nodded and thanked her for the ride.

Sakura stayed at Elena's place to catch up, and to make sure she got her injury looked at. It was alright nighttime and they got a call to meet Bonnie and Leilani at the grill. Jenna told them not to stay out to late. Elena opened the door, ready to leave with Sakura and standing on her doorstep was the new guy, Stefan. That startled them both slightly.

"Sorry, I was about to knock," Stefan claimed. "I wanted to apologize from my disappearing act earlier. It was strange," Stefan told her. It sure was strange, how could someone disappear, completely out of sight that fast. Sakura glared at him slightly, which he didn't seem to noticed, as he was focused on Elena.

"It's okay, I get it, blood makes you squeamish," Elena rationalized it.

"Something like that," Stefan nodded. Sakura couldn't help but wonder what he meant by that. He didn't seem the type to be squeamish, and Sakura was good with telling things like that. He was lying, yet somehow telling the truth. Sakura couldn't tell. "How's you leg?" he asked, genuinely concerned.

"It's fine, just a scratch really," Elena smiled.

"How did you know where Elena lived?" Sakura interrupted, eyeing him carefully.

"It's a small town, I asked the first person I saw," Stefan replied. He reached for something behind him. "I thought you might want this back," he pulled out Elena's diary. Elena accepted it and looked at him suspiciously. He claimed to have not read it, seeing as he wouldn't want anyone to read his. Elena went to put it away and told him he could wait inside.

Stefan stayed outside and only looked at the doorway. Sakura looked at him questioningly and he smiled at her. "Not coming in?" Sakura asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm okay out here," Stefan replied. "Are you two close friends?" Stefan asked, being the first time he even really talked to her.

"Yeah, we've been friends for years. I just got back into town. Your last name's Salvatore right?" Sakura asked, having heard it around the school in between classes.

"Yeah, that's right," Stefan wasn't sure why his last name meant anything to her.

"So you're related to Zack?" Sakura asked, since Zack hadn't mentioned him.

"How do you?" Stefan started to ask when Elena came back. "Sorry, were you guys going somewhere?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah, we're meeting a few friends," Elena replied with a smile. "Do you want to come?" to Sakura's surprise, Elena invited him. He smiled and the three of them headed over to the grill.

They walked in and it seemed a

s though Stefan drew everyone's attention. Matt walked up to Stefan. "Hey, I'm Matt, nice to meet you," Matt put his hand out.

"Hi, Stefan," he introduced himself and shook Matt's hand. Matt and Elena exchanged greetings, he turned to Sakura and greeted her. Matt left and they went to sit down at the table Bonnie and Leilani were at. As soon as they did, Caroline came over as well, of course. Caroline was nosey and wanted to know everything about him. They started asking all sorts of questions. Apparently he was from Mystic Falls, which made Sakura figure he was related to Zack. He moved when he was young and his parents passed away. That seemed to be a common theme with Mystic Falls residents. He had a sibling, which he didn't really talk to. But he did say he lived with his Uncle. This alarmed Sakura, his Uncle? It must be Zack, why didn't he mention this?

"Zack right? You staying with him at the boarding house?" Sakura asked him.

"Yeah, that's right. How'd you know?" Stefan eyed her.

"Me and Leilani are close with Zack. He's an old friend of the family. Guess we'll run into each other a lot," Sakura suggested. Sakura had always liked hanging out at the boarding house. Leilani was always a little scared, but went anyways. Sakura always thought it contained history. Zack had told them stories when they stayed over, while he baby sat.

Not wanting to hear more about it, Caroline spoke up, "So Stefan, if you're new then you don't know about the party tomorrow?"

"It's a back to school thing at the Falls," Bonnie explained.

Stefan turned to Elena, "Are you going?" Stefan seemed to focus on Elena. Sakura couldn't tell if he liked her, or if it was something more.

"Of course she is," Leilani answered for Elena, hoping to go herself. She was also, of course planning to drag Sakura with her, whether she wanted to go or not.

Elena smiled at Leilani, wishing she hadn't answered for her. Stefan smiled at Elena, hoping that Leilani was right.

I know I'm following the show as much as I can at the moment, but I want it to be that way. No Damon in this chapter, but he is soon to come!

I hope you enjoyed. And please review! :D
