I wake up to my alarm going off. I can't believe it's already time to head back to school. I know I'm probably the second or third one up. I know Aunt Jenna is up most likely panicking trying to make sure she's got everything together for us and her, Elena my darling big sister is more than likely up and writing in her diary, and if I have to hazard a guess my darling twin Jeremy is still sleeping off whatever he took last night. I guess I better take a second to introduce myself. I'm Gabriella Gilbert, little sister to Elena Gilbert and younger (by ten minutes) twin sister to Jeremy Gilbert. I have dark brown almost black hair like Elena, the same complexion as Jeremy, with green eyes, and I have the same body type as Elena only I'm a little shorter at only 5'3 to her 5'7. I get out of bed slowly with a groan. I walk over to my closet and decide on a pair of black skinny jeans, a dark purple tank with black lace detailing, and I grab my purple converse plus some black socks. After my outfit is laid out I sit at my vanity and start my makeup. I keep it simple black eyeliner, black mascara, and some lip gloss, no need to go overboard it's only school. I quickly run a straightener through my hair then get dressed. I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and put on my deodorant. Once that is done I grab my small backpack and my phone than I head downstairs to grab some coffee before school. How else will I make it through the long, long school day ahead?

Once I get down stairs I see Elena getting coffee and aunt Jenna digging through the fridge. Aunt Jenna says, "Toast I can make toast." I smile poor thing she wants to take care of us so bad, but she just isn't much for cooking. Got to love her for trying though. Elena says back to her, "it's all about the coffee aunt Jenna." I nod and say at the same time as Jeremy, "Is there coffee?" I turn and glare at him, I hate when we do this. Aunt Jenna tells us, "Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared." Jeremy jacks Elena's cup of coffee and I roll my eyes as I grab a cup for her and myself. I hand her, her cup and she pours coffee into my cup than her own. Aunt Jenna continues, "Lunch money?" Lena says, "I'm good." Jeremy takes it, that definitely won't be used for lunch, and I say, "No thanks aunt Jenna." She nods and asks, "Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" I look at the time and ask, "Don't you have a big presentation today?" she response, "I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at… now. Crap!" Elena says, "Then go. We'll be fine." I nod and say, "Good luck aunt Jenna!" She says, "Thank you!" Than rushes out the door. As soon as she is gone Elena lets out a sigh and turns to Jeremy. This will not go well. She says, "You ok?" He rolls his eyes and says, "Don't start." He stops on his way past to kiss me on the head then continues to walk away drinking his coffee Elena looks so upset, so I walk over to her and give her a one armed hug. I say, "Give him time. He'll come around." She sighs again and says, "I have given him time. I don't think I can just sit back anymore." I nod and tell her, "Do what you need to do, just don't put me in the middle." She nods then we hear a honk outside. Looks like our ride Bonnie is here.

In the car I can tell Elena has spaced out has Bonnie says, "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that I know crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands." Bonnie looks over at Elena finally noticing she's not paying attention she connects eyes with me in the rearview mirror and at the same time we call out, "Elena! Back in the car" This causes Elena to jump and snap back to reality. She sighs, "I did it again, didn't I? I'm sorry Bonnie, Gabby. You were telling me that…" I say, "She's psychic now." Elena looks at me weird then turns to Bonne and says, "Right. Ok, then predict something. About us." Bonnie huffs and says, "I see…" but her words were cut off, but something slamming into the windshield and causing Bonnie to momentarily lose control of the car. Luckily we managed to avoid hurting ourselves or anyone else. I leaned forward and put my hand on Elena's shoulder she put her hand on top of mine and held it very tightly. I didn't mind if it helped her calm down. Bonnie says, "What was that?! Oh my God! Elena, Brie, are you ok?" I nod and say, "I'm good." Elena says, "It's ok. I'm Fine." Bonnie says, "It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere." Elena tells her, "Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life." I unbuckle my seatbelt and lean up to hug her and she hugs me back and says, "I'm good Gabby. I promise." I nod and say, "We're here Lena." She nods and I sit back in my seat. Bonnie looks at us and says, "I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over. And both of you are going to be beyond Happy. We both smile at her and then we begin the dreaded journey to school.

Once we get to school it looks just like it did last year and yet it feels different. It feels like there is the big change coming and I can't tell where it's coming from. As we walk down the crowded halls Bonnie says, "Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beach. She looks a hot—can I still say 'Tranny Mess'?" I think about it and say, "No that's over." She sighs, "Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year." I see Bonnie looking behind Elena and I so we both turn to see what she's looking at. It turns out to be none other than Matt Donovan my sister's ex-boyfriend. He is giving her this sad puppy dog look and my heart goes out to him. Elena waves and he just closes his locker and walks away, harsh Matty harsh. Elena sighs and leans against the lockers as she says, "He hates me." I shake my head and inform her, "That's not hate." Bonnie nods and continues for me, "That's 'you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to air supply's greatest hits.'" I nod my agreeance then we hear, "Elena, Brie. Oh, my God. How are you guys? Oh it's so good to see you." She pulls us both into tight hugs than turns to Bonnie, "How are they? Are they good?" I love her I really do, but Caroline we are right here. Elena must have been thinking the same thing because she told her, "Caroline, we are right here. and we're fine. Thank you." Caroline looks suspicious as she asks, "Really?" I say, "Yes. Much better." She pulls us back into a hug and says, "Oh you poor things." I have a lot of patience so this doesn't bother me I'm used to dealing with Caroline, but I can Elena is about to lose her mind. She says, "Ok, Caroline." Caroline finally pulls away and says, "Ok, see you guys later?" We nod and Elena says, "Ok, Bye." When she was out of ear shot Bonnie gave Elena a look to which Elena responded with, "No comment. I'm not going to say anything." We all laughed and started our trek down the hallway to class. Even though I'm a year younger then Elena I'm actually kind of smart, go figure the smart cheerleader, anyway I skipped a grade back in elementary so Lena and I are in the same grade. We usually have the same schedule. This year is no different.

As we walk by the office Bonnie stops us and says, "Hold on. Who's this?" Elena says, "All I see is back." I giggle and say, "But what a hot back it is." We continue to stare at his back hoping for him to turn around. Bonnie says, "I'm sensing Seattle and he plays the guitar." I roll my eyes and say, "you're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground huh?" she shrugs and says, "Pretty much." We all laugh at her honesty. Elena stops laughing and gets real serious as she says, "I'll be right back." I look up and see Jeremy walking into the boy's restroom. Uh oh. I think about stopping her, because I know this will only piss him off, but I know there is no stopping her so I just stay quiet and let her go. I'll catch Jer when he comes out and try to calm him down. Bonnie says, "Please be hot." I giggle and say, "He has to be." She giggles and we continue to stalk this poor unsuspecting new guy. When he turns around and walks out of the office Bonnie and I see that we were right, he is crazy hot. We both stand there frozen for a minute as we watch this gorgeous guy walk by. I see Jeremy storming by out of the corner of my eye so I say, "See you in class Bon." She manages a nod before I hurry after him I say, "Jer are you ok?" He turns and glares at me as he says, "Really? Are you going to start to?" I tense up and say in a small voice, "I was just checking on you. I'm sorry." He sighs and pulls me into a hug as he says, "No I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't jump my case like that. Elena just gets to me sometimes acting like mom. I'm fine I don't need her bossing me around." I say, "I know Jer. I do, but cut her some slack ok? She's just worried about you." He nods and with a kiss to the top of my head he walks off to his own class. I catch up with Elena and say, "I cannot believe you followed him into the boy's room." She sighs and says, "And to make it worse I ran into the new guy when I was leaving he probably thinks I'm a freak." I laugh and tell her, "I'm sure he doesn't think that." She just groans and we make our way to the dreaded class. Mr. Tanners class.

I'm seated next to Elena taking notes because I know he is a crazy hard teacher and I do not want him on my case. He's scary, plus a lot of teachers are harder on me because I skipped a grade. He talks a lot; lucky I write fast. I notice Elena texting and I can't help, but feel like I missed something. I just shrug and go back to taking notes they'll catch me up later. After class I spent the rest of the day hearing Bonnie talk about how Stefan was staring at Elena. I have to say I'm happy for my sister she needs something good in her life, something new. After school is over we all go our separate ways Bonnie goes home, Elena heads off to the cemetery if I have to guess, and I make my way to the Mystic Grill where I started working there this summer after my 16th birthday. I walk past the cemetery and see Elena in there. I think about going to her, but decide to leave her be this is how she deals. As I'm walking fog starts to come from nowhere and there is this creepy crow cawing right next to me. This is freaking me out so I start walking faster I glance behind me and I swear I see a man there. I stumble so I turn back around to keep myself from falling. When I turn around again the man, the crow and the fog are all gone. Whoa that was insane. Maybe I just imagined it all. I continue to work trying to get the freakiness of what just happened out of my head.

Work was a boring affair taking orders, dealing with customers, and cleaning up messes. I see my brother walk up to Vikki and I see Vikki promptly walk away to go to Tyler. I let out a sigh I wish she would stop leading Jeremy on and I wish Tyler would stop playing her. I walk over to say hi and when I get to the table I hear, "Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister." Tyler responds with, "I'm not hooking up with your sister." I roll my eyes and matt says, "You're a dick." I laugh and make my presence known as I say, "Yes he is." Tyler says, "Brie you are breaking my heart here." I roll my eyes and say, "Somehow I think you'll deal." We all laughed and Matt asks, "How are you Ella?" I sigh he had to bring out the childhood nickname. I reply, "I'm fine Matty really." He nods and I ask, "How's the season looking boys are we going to kick ass in football this year?" Tyler says, "Hell yeah!" I giggle and respond, "Good I'd hate to be cheering for losers." Vikki walks back up and say, "Hey Gabby what's up girl?" I laugh and say, "Not much same as you working." She nods and I see Caroline and Bonnie walking in so I say, "I'll see you guys later. And Ty? Play nice ok? He's my brother." He says, "I'll try, but no promises." I sigh and walk away that is the best I'll get out of him. I walk up to Bonnie when Care walks away and say, "Hey Bon. What's up?" She laughs and says, "Well apparently the new guys name is Stefan Salvatore. He was born here, he lost his parents and he just moved back." I nod and say, "Caroline find all that out today?" She laughs and says, "Apparently they are planning a June wedding." I laugh and ask, "Can I get you anything?" She orders and I walk off to put her order in. When I look up I see Matt has joined Bonnie at the table she picked. No doubt he's asking her about Elena he knows better than to ask me. I told them both long ago I would not get involved in the dramatics of their relationship. I walk back over and set Bonnie's drink in front of her and just as I look up I see Elena walk in with the new guy, Stefan I think. Bonnie and Matt see them too, poor Matt. He says, "More time, huh?" I sigh and give him the same sympathetic look I'm sure Bonnie is giving him. He gets up and walks right up to them, that's Matt for you always trying to be the bigger person. He introduces himself and even says hey to Elena. I'm so proud of him. I leave the table to catch him before he gets too far. I give him a hug and say, "You did good Matty. That was very nice of you, I'm proud." He hugs back and tells me, "It was the hardest thing I've ever done." I pull back and smile softly at him as I say, "I know." With that said he walks away and I go back to my tables.

A while later I was down to one table and that was Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, and Stefan. I took their orders and stuff, but I really haven't met Stefan yet. When I bring everything to the table Elena stops me and says, "Stefan this is my little sister Gabriella, but we call her Gabby, Brie, Ella or just plain G. whatever suits our mood." I laugh and shake Stefan's offered hand as I say, "Feel free to call whatever you like." He nods and says, "It's nice to meet you Gabriella." I smile and say, "It's nice to meet you too Stefan." Caroline interrupted our nice moment by asking, "So you were born I Mystic Falls?" He turns back to her and says, "M-hmm and moved while I was still young." Caroline continues, "Parents?" he says, "My parents passed away." Elena says, "I'm sorry. Any siblings?" he says, "None that I talk to." So he has one or more estranged siblings that's sad. He continues, "I live with my uncle." It's clear these two are having a moment and Caroline obviously does not like it as she interrupts, "So, Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow." Bonnie says, "It's a back to school thing at the falls." He looks at Elena and asks, "Are you going?" I smile and say, "Of course she is." Elena and Stefan continue to have their cute little moment and I decide to go start getting my closing stuff done so I am not stuck here all night. I got everything done relatively quickly and I was out of there at a pretty decent time too.

The next day we were in Tanner's class hearing about the battle of Willow Creek. I as usually was taking notes when Mr. Tanner asks, "How many casualties resulted in this battle?" He looks around and stops at Bonnie who bless her heart is clearly not paying attention. He says, "Ms. Bennet?" She looks up and says, "um.. a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot." I love her really I do. Tanner says, "Cute becomes dumb in an instant Ms. Bennet. Mr. Donovan. Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" I don't even need to guess what his answer will be, but hearing him say it is still pretty great. He says, "It's ok Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it." Tanner than turns his sights on my sister and I sigh I really hope she knows this. If the asshole would just ask me I know the answer. He says, "Elena. Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?" By the look on her face my guess is she cannot give him an answer. Damn it Tanner. Elena says, "I'm sorry I, I don't know." He responds, "I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena, but the personal excuses ended with summer break." Ok asshole like Bonnie and Matt didn't know it either why didn't you lecture them? Rude. Suddenly Stefan says, "There were 346 casualties, unless you're counting local civilians." Stefan just became my favorite person in the entire world. Tanner says, "That's correct. Mister..." Stefan supplies, "Salvatore." Tanner nods, "Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" Stefan simply says, "Distant." He is my hero right now. Tanner continues, "Well very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." Now I know he's wrong there were civilian casualties I read about it in the archives. I say, "Actually, there were 27, sir." Stefan nods and continues for me, "Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall, if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." Ouch I turn and give Stefan a smile and he smiles back. We just burned Tanner I mean him more than me, but still.

The rest of the day past in a blur and here I am getting ready for the party. I have on black eyeliner, black mascara, pink blush, red lip gloss, and my hair is curled. Now for an outfit. I decide on a dark pair of skinny jeans, a bright red strapless top, my black leather jacket and my red converse. I am now ready to go which is good because Elena has been ready and I'm pretty sure Jeremy is already there. Once we get to the party it was clear Elena was looking for Stefan and so was Caroline. I smile as I join into Bonnie and Elena's conversation. I say, "Just admit Elena." She smiles and says, "Ok so he is a little pretty." Bonnie tells her, "He has that romance novel stare. Stefan looked deep into her eyes piercing her very soul." We busted out into laughter after that one. Bonnie asks, "So where is he?" Elena says, "I don't know." I say, "You tell us you're the psychic one." Bonnie just gives me a look and says, "Right, I forgot. Ok, so give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate." I tell her, "Wait you need a crystal ball." I turn and picked up a beer bottle off the ground and say, "Ta-da." She laughs and as I hand it to her eyes go wide, like she actually saw something. I ask, "What?" She says, "That was weird. When I touched you, I saw a crow." I tense up, a crow? Weird coincidence I'm sure, but I ask, "What?" anyway. She says, "A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk. It's the drinking. There's nothing psychic about it. Yeah. Ok, I'm going to get a refill." With that her and Elena walk away. I'm freaking out she must really be psychic, because that's exactly what I saw yesterday and oh no. Does that mean I'm going to see it again. I too need a drink so I make my way over to where they are. I look back and see Elena has found Stefan which makes me happy. They are so crazy cute together. I grab a drink and determine I'm going not stress about what Bonnie saw. It can't be real.

I was at the edge of the party when I see Vikki coming out of the woods she looks upset so make my way over to her. I ask, "What's up Vik?" she sighs and says, "Just more drama with Ty and your twin." I smile sadly at her and say, "You know Jeremy won't give up and you know Ty can be an ass. You need to decide what it is you want. And tell them both to kiss your ass if they don't like it." She pulls me into a hug and says, "Thank G I don't know what I would do without you." I smile and say, "Loose your mind over stupid boys." She laughs and wanders off into the woods again. I just keep walking after what Bonnie told me I'm not feeling very social. I walk off into the wood to clear my head. I hear a sound and turn to see a man who is quite a bit taller than me with the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. He looks at me curiously and says, "It's pretty dangerous to be out here on your own after the animal attacks." I say, "Yeah I didn't really think this through. I just wasn't really in a party mood. Hi I'm Gabriella." He smirks and say, "I'm Damon. If you don't mind me saying you look beautiful tonight Gabriella." I'm glad it's dark because I know I was blushing bright red and almost as if he could sense Damon's smirk widened. I say, "Thank you. What a you doing out here? No offense, but you are definitely not a high school student." He laughs and says, "None taken. And no I'm definitely not a high school student. I live nearby I heard the commotion wanted to see what it was." I nod I can understand that. He asks, "So why aren't you in a party mood?" I say, "It's kind of dumb. My friend brought up something that happened yesterday that kind of freaked me out." He nods, but doesn't question any further. He says, "Well you should be getting back to your party it's dangerous out here and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." I nod and say, "It was nice to meet you Damon." He takes my hand and places a gentle kiss there and tells me, "Don't worry I will definitely be seeing you around." I giggle and make my way back to the party. He was right it was very dangerous to be out there by myself I have no idea how I let myself wander that far.

As I was making my way back to the party I hear Jeremy and Elena fighting. I move towards the sound and on the way I see a bump on the ground when I look down. And what I see makes me let out an ear shattering scream. Elena and Jeremy hurry over to me. Jeremy asks, "What is it?" I point down and say, "Vikki." Jeremy looks and says, "Vikki? No! Oh my God!" Elena pulls me to her in a side hug and Jeremy picks Vikki up. I'm still in shock of finding her. We get back to the party and Elena screams, "Someone help!" Matt sees her and says, "Vikki? Vikki. What the hell?!" Everything was happening so fast and everyone was yelling. I didn't really know what to do. I stayed off to the side as not to be in the way of anyone who could actually help her.

It took a while, but eventually the ambulance finally got there. Vikki was loaded up and Matt got in the back with her. I see Tyler watching the whole thing very carefully. I make my way over to him and put my arm around his waist. I tell him, "She's going to be ok Ty." I know he'll probably never say this out loud, but he does somewhat care about Vikki. Maybe not the way she wants him to, but he cares. He puts his arm around my shoulder and responds, "I hope so Brie." We just stand there and watch as the ambulance drives away.

Damon P.O.V.

I finish drinking the blood of the girl I found alone away from the party. She made life easier for me actually. I didn't have to lure anyone away this one just decided to wander off alone which is pretty convenient for me. After tonight Stefan will know big brother is home. I was about to run back to the boarding house when I see another girl walking around alone in the woods another easy snack, but once I get to her I realize it's that Katherine clone's sister. My intentions yesterday was to use the fog and crow on the big gilbert, but her little sister walked by and she is without a doubt one of the most beautiful creatures I've seen in my lifetime. I'm not sure what I want from her yet, but for not it's not a snack. I approach her and purposely make a sound so she will turn to me. I look at her curiously and say, "It's pretty dangerous to be out here on your own after the animal attacks." She says, "Yeah I didn't really think this through. I just wasn't really in a party mood. Hi I'm Gabriella." I smirk because I already know who she is having heard her being introduced to Stefan yesterday. I need to come up with my own nickname for her one only for me. I say, "I'm Damon. If you don't mind me saying you look beautiful tonight Gabriella." I can smell the blood rushing to her cheeks and it makes my smirk widen I have an innocent little thing right in front of me, better not let her go to waste. She says, "Thank you. What are you doing out here? No offense, but you are definitely not a high school student." I laugh because I haven't been a high school student for decades. I tell her, "None taken. And no I'm definitely not a high school student. I live nearby I heard the commotion wanted to see what it was." She nods. I ask, "So why aren't you in a party mood?" She says, "It's kind of dumb. My friend brought up something that happened yesterday that kind of freaked me out." I nod, but don't question any further because I know it was my fog and crow that got her. I wonder who brought it up or maybe that Bennet is finally coming into her powers. I say, "Well you should be getting back to your party it's dangerous out here and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." She nods and says, "It was nice to meet you Damon." I take her hand and place a gentle kiss there and tell her, "Don't worry I will definitely be seeing you around." As she walks away all I can think is I need to plan our next meeting. I find her interesting. I hear her scream and I feel a little bad that she was the one to find the girl, but I shrug it off she'll get over it. Knowing the body has been found I sped off to the boarding house to wait.

When Stefan gets home I hear Zach ask him, "What's going on?" Stefan says to Zach, "Zach someone else was attacked tonight and it wasn't me." I hear him hurry upstairs of little brother you are in for a surprise. I fly my crow into his room and hear him say, "Damon." I smirk and say, "Hello brother." Stefan says, "Crows a bit much don't you think?" I smirk and say, "Wait till you see what I can do with fog." Stefan asks, "When'd you get here?" my smirk widens as I tell him, "Well, I couldn't miss your first day at school. Your hair's different. I like." Stefan responds, "It's been 15 years Damon." He tells me like I don't know how long it's been. I say, "Thank God. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you. Remember Stefan it's important to stay away from fads." He asks, "Why are you here?" You know he always asks that. I say the same thing I always do, "I missed my little brother." He says, "You hate small towns there's nothing for you to do." I smirk and say, "I've managed to keep myself busy." He says, "You know you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you." I say, "Ah. That can be a problem…. for you." Like I care I could just leave or compel people or even just kill people whatever seems easiest. He's all moral and what not, he can't do that. He asks again, "Why are you here now?" I say, "I could ask you the same question. However, I think the answer can be summed up in one little word. Elena." I continue, "She took my breathe away. Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. And her little sister? What a beauty never seen anything like her. Is it working Stefan? Being in her world, is it making you feel alive?" He says, "She's not Katherine." Obviously. I say, "Well let's hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell me when was the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?" He tells me, "I know what you're doing Damon. It's not gonna work." I push him as he turns from me and say, "Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" He says, "Stop it." I push him again and say, "Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight for Elena!" After all my abuse he finally pushes me back and snarls," Stop it!" I continue to push him by saying, "Imagine what her blood tastes like! I can!"

He finally snaps and tackles me out the window. A little more dramatic than I expected, but my plan worked. Of course he got hurt and I didn't. when he manages to get up I say, "I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the whole face thing. It was good." He says, "You know it's all fun and games Damon, huh? But everywhere you go people die." I look at him weird I'm a vampire duh. I tell him, "That's a given." He continues, "Not here. I won't allow it." I smirk and say, "I take that as an invitation." He says, "Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest?" I smirk as I inform him, "I promised you an eternity of misery so I'm just keeping my word." He sighs, "Just stay away from Elena and Gabriella." How fucking dare, he tell me to stay away from Gabriella. What does he want her too? I say, "Where's you ring? Oh yeah, the suns coming up in a couple hours and poof, ashes to ashes." He looks panicked. I laugh and tell him, "Relax. It's right here." He puts his ring back on and I grab him by the neck and throw him. I rush over to him and say, "You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again. I think we woke Zach up. Sorry Zach." I leave him lying the and walk off to the boarding house whistling. What a good day.

Gabriella's P.O.V.

Elena walked over to Jeremy, but I stayed sitting at the picnic table too tired to try to play mediator at the moment. Jenna finally showed up and brought us home. Jeremy sat on the couch and I sat next to him I laid my head in his lap. He was staring at a photo of mom and dad. Eventually we decided to go to bed, but I was to freaked out to sleep alone so Jer said I could sleep with him. While I was getting ready for bed all i could think about was the only good thing about today was meeting Damon. Once we were both in his room we got comfortable and crashed. What a horrible day.
