Whitmore College. It was a fresh start for my brother and me. We had moved towns, given up our whole lives for this college. It wasn't because this college was renowned for anything, nobody famous came from it, it was just… well I guess it was an excuse for both of us to start again, like this was our first day alive. From this day forward, I am Trinity, a normal girl attending college with her twin brother Taylor. Nothing special. Nothing abnormal. At least I hoped it would stay that way

"Okay Trinny, are you ready for this?" Taylor asked me as we headed towards our new home. I admired my brother, he was an amazing person. He was always helping other people and his smile could literally light up a room. When you saw his white-haired head coming, you were immediately happy. I on the other hand, let's just say I was slightly less cheerful all the time. I knew there was evil in this world and I wasn't just going to ignore that and be happy all the time.

"Definitely." I answered. My voice sounded confident but inside, I was terrified. This was the first time my brother and I would be separate. We were identical twins, so we had literally not left each other's sides since birth. We tried to get a dorm together but the college wouldn't allow two different genders to live together, which I found incredibly stupid, this was my brother for god's sake. The two of us kept walking towards the dorms in silence, simply taking in everything. Whitmore college's dorms were exactly what I wanted: nothing special.

"Well, I guess this is it" I sighed, stopping as I reached my dorm room door.

"God Trinny, you make it sound like we are going to be living in different countries" Taylor chuckled as I wore a sad pout. I also didn't love the nickname Taylor had given me when we were little. He was the only one who called me that and I was too excited about that fact that if you change one letter it spells 'tranny' but whatever.

"Might as well be" I mumbled, diverting my eyes from his gaze.

"Listen to me Trinny," I didn't reconnect our eyes, because I knew what was coming… the speech, so he gently pushed my chin upwards to look at him, "I'll be on the other side of the campus but that doesn't mean I won't be here for you. We will see each other every day, and you know what? I'll make you a deal. If you hate it here we can move into our own apartment together off campus but you have to give it a try first, Trinity. Promise me?" There it was. Taylor was always seeing the bright side of things, he was always comforting and positive. I sometimes found that annoying, especially when I was upset or angry, I sometimes just wanted him to agree that life sucks, but that just wasn't Taylor.

"I promise" I sighed. I leaned up to hug my big brother with all my might. I knew it was time to grow up and become an individual, without my brother. He had always been a part of my identity, and I his, but it was time to just be Trinity and not Trinity and Taylor

"I love you Trinny"

"I love you too Tay" Our hug was broken and Taylor walked away to find his own dorm. This was it, behind that door is my new home with my new roommates. Taking one last breath, straightening my white hair with my hands, I politely knocked on the door first. I didn't want to get off to a bad start by just walking in, it was my home too but there's nothing wrong with a little politeness. I could hear movement in the room so I took this as a sign, and opened the door, walking inside. I could see two girls, one with brunette hair wearing combat boots, and a blonde who looked like she was definitely homecoming queen and reminded everyone of it constantly.

"Hey" I flashed my most polite smile, but did not receive much in return

"Uh, who are you?" The blonde demanded

"Oh, I'm Trinity. Your roommate." I awkwardly introduced as I watched my two new roommates share a look, a mixture between shock and confusion. I could already tell this wasn't going to be fun.

Finished with unpacking and still feeling extremely unwanted in my new home, I decided to lay down and listen to music with my headphones, to escape. Music was my passion, in fact I was here doing a music degree. I wanted to be a singer, my brother was a guitarist. Music was the love of my life. As I scrolled through trying to pick a song, I could hear everything else around me… including my new roommate on the phone.

"There must've been a mix-up at the housing office… That's exactly what Caroline said… Damon, what's the point in going to college if we're just going to recreate what happens in Mystic Falls?" I didn't understand, why was it such a big deal for me to be assigned to their room?

"They definitely don't want me there Taylor, I hate it" I complained, dropping my head, banging it on the wooden table. After I had heard the phone conversation, I left and met up with him at the coffee shop on campus

"Come on, it can't be that bad" Taylor rolled his eyes, taking a sip of his coffee

"It is, can I move out yet?"

"Trinny, you promised you would try and 3 hours is not a good try" Taylor reminded me before I released a large groan, looking around the coffee shop. Thanks to my stupid luck, I was looking towards the door when my new roommates walked in

"Oh great, here are my arch nemesis's now" I whined as Taylor turned to look at the two girls

"What are their names? Taylor wondered

"Caroline and Elena"

"Hey! Caroline! Elena!" Taylor shouts over to the girls instantly.

"Are you kidding me?" I hiss. My brother was exactly like this all the time. He was always embarrassing me and forcing me to 'make the most of life'. I wanted to vomit at some of his philosophies. Philosophies such as 'every day is an opportunity to make new friends'. Yuck. Caroline and Elena looked strangely towards the table and hesitantly walked over

"Hi Trinity" Elena politely greets

"Hi, I'm Taylor" Taylor extends his hand and shakes both of theirs. Always too friendly for my liking.

"Would you like to join us?" He offers. After their acceptance, they both take seats while I glared deathly at my brother.

After what felt like hours of girl talk, my brother and my new roommates were becoming best friends.

"So, your current boyfriend, Damian–" Taylor starts

"Damon." Elena corrects

"–is your ex's brother."

"Stefan."

"You and Stefan are friends, but three months ago he left without saying goodbye?"

"Do you think that I should call him?" Elena wonders but I honestly couldn't care less. I was the worst at girl talk and feelings, but my brother was surprisingly amazing at it

"No way." My brother answered

"Do you have a boyfriend, Caroline?" I asked, not really that interested, but out of kindness and to prove to my brother I was 'making a go of it'.

"I do. His name's Tyler. He had to miss move-in day, but he'll be here for the first day of classes." The blonde responded

"Assuming he registers. And picks a dorm. And buys books." Elena clarifies

"Speaking of minding one's own business, let's talk roommate ground rules. Privacy is very important to me." Caroline informs me.

"Same here." I answered

"I have low blood sugar. My diet's finicky, so keep your paws off my stuff."

"We'll split up the shelves."

"And if I suddenly get up to leave or disappear for a while, don't follow me or look for me." Wait what?

"Okay...sounds good." I was sure my confusion was written across my face. That didn't sound weird just to me, right?

"Great, then we agree on everything." Elena smiled happily as another student approached us

"Excuse me, ladies. Party at Whitmore House tonight." The dark-skinned man informed while placing a couple of flyers on the table

"We'll be there." Elena tells him, answering for everyone, something I did not like. I have a mouth and brain, I can answer for myself

"I hope so." The male student responds whilst staring a Caroline. The unknown student leaves and Elena giggles as she wraps an arm around Caroline's shoulders

"I love college." Elena smiled, clearly excited. I felt the opposite, I wasn't that into parties anymore.

"Yeah well, I'm going to pass" I informed, getting up to leave the conversation

"Uh uh missy, sit down," My brother demanded, pointing to her seat. I reluctantly lowered myself back down

"You're coming, this is our first college party and I am not going to let you miss it because you suck" I playfully gasped at this.

"I don't suck, I just don't think I should be going to parties, fresh start remember" I said the last bit through clenched teeth and in a whisper, I did not need my 'new friends' hearing about my old life, that was in the past

"Oh, come on, please. It'll be so much fun and Caroline can find you someone" Elena suggested, like that was something I actually wanted to happen

"Ohhhh, I love matchmaking" Caroline gleamed, jumping up and down with a clap of her hands. Caroline reminded me of girls at my old school, superficial and over the top. I didn't mind those qualities, in fact I was some of those qualities, but being Caroline's friend was not what I came to college to do.

"I don't know guys" I sighed

"She's going" Taylor answered for me. I snapped my head back towards him, was he insane?

"Awesome, we'll see you there" Elena politely smiled and off they went. As soon as I noticed them out of earshot, I used all my might and kicked my brother in his shin under the table. He groaned in pain and sent a glare my way

"You know what that was for" I glared back, finishing off my coffee.

"Come on, we should get to orientation" I announce, standing and beginning the walk

"I would follow you but I have lost the use of my leg" He called out after me. I rolled my eyes and scoffed, what a drama queen.

Later that night, I was having a shower, getting ready for the party I did not want to go to. High school parties used to be fun for me, but that was because I was juvenile. Not that I wasn't now, I just didn't find them fun anymore. I didn't like the feeling of not knowing the place I was in, I didn't like getting drunk around a bunch of strangers who would probably keep partying if I died of alcohol poisoning, and I especially didn't like the number of sleazy guys there always were. Hoping out the shower, I looked in the foggy mirror. Sure, I was okay looking. I never thought of myself as exceptionally pretty, just unique. I had white hair for god's sake, something my brother and I share and as far as I've seen, we are the only ones to possess that trait naturally. My ice blue eyes were always the point of interest for people though, my eyes were so incredibly blue. The rest of my face was… blah, nothing special, just a plain old face. My judgemental thoughts were broken when I heard violent coughing coming from our room. Rushing out in only a towel, I could see Caroline bent over, aggressively coughing with Elena rubbing her back soothingly. "What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked, stepping forward to see if I could help

"Yeah, she's, uh, she's fine." Elena announces, moving to stand in my path

"What happened?"

"Water just went down the wrong pipe. I'm okay, really. I shouldn't have touched your stuff, I'm really sorry." Caroline explained, her voice still hoarse

"Oh, you drank one of those waters?" I asked, what happened to 'stay out of my stuff and I'll stay out of yours'?

"Yeah, I'm sorry"

"It's fine. It just sounded like someone was dying out here. Well, I'm glad you're okay!" I smiled politely, before returning to the bathroom to get ready. After doing my makeup, I wondered. What does one wear to their first college party? I couldn't wear my old party clothes, they just didn't feel like… me anymore. Grabbing my favourite black jeans, I wrestled them on along with a salmon flowy top. I walk back into the room to see the other girls giggling to themselves. I watched in silence, I could easily see these two had been friends forever and it made me wonder about my friends… or lack of. I had my brother of course, but who wants their brother to be their only friend? I had plenty of 'friends' in high school, but anyone who has graduated knows that's a load of bullshit. I needed friends like these two… or I needed these two as friends.

"Hey girls," I spoke, the two girls' heads turning towards me. I could see Elena's polite smile, something I noticed was always on her face, and Caroline's crossed arms with a not so polite face.

"I was just thinking that I didn't have any shoes to go with this outfit, I was wondering if you could help me" I suggested, and I was immediately rewarded with a large smile from Caroline who looked so excited.

"Oh my god, yes I have the perfect shoes" She took my hand and rushed me to her closet, rambling about what opinions she had while Elena watched on in amusement. It felt good to have girls as my sort of friends.

Within in an hour, we were at the Whitmore house where the party was going off. Caroline, Elena and I were just beginning to the walk towards the entrance when the guy who handed out the flyers approached us.

"Hey, I remember you." He announces

"Hey. Flyer Guy." Elena nods her head in remembrance

"Jesse, technically, but 'Flyer Guy' works, too." He chuckles. I mean he was sort of cute in that frat boy yet innocent way.

"I'm Elena, this is Trinity and Caroline." She introduces and I reply with a slight wave

"Nice to meet you." Jesse answers, but it's clear he was talking to Caroline if his lustful eyes that were transfixed in her direction are any indication.

"Hi." Caroline flatly replies. Ouch on you dude. She politely smiles before walking past him towards the door. Elena sends an apologetic glance towards Jesse before we both follow Caroline to the entrance

"You can't be nice to the guy?" Elena sighed

"Well I for one, thought you handled that brilliantly" I offered, Caroline sent me small smile before turning back to Elena. That's a win in my book.

"I'm with Tyler." Caroline reminds her

"Are you? Because he hasn't called."

"From the mountains of Appalachia?"

"I'm just saying, I don't want you to get your hopes up thinking that he's coming, when he hasn't really shown much interest."

"Did you tell Damon you were having dreams about Stefan?" Caroline accuses, causing Elena to go silent. See, this is why I don't have girl friends; drama.

"See? No relationship is perfect." Caroline responds as we finally make it to the front door. I step into the house looking around. The party was in full swing and unfortunately, looked just like the high school parties I used to attend. I turn back around and notice the other girls whispering and have yet to even step foot in the house, wise decision in my opinion.

"Why are you guys just standing there?" I wonder

"We were just...Caroline?" Elena looked to her friend

"Waiting for someone." Caroline inserted

"She's late."

"So..."

"Right. Well, I'm gonna go find my brother" I awkwardly told them, eyeing them carefully. That was really weird.

"Like I said, she knows." Caroline's voice reached my ears. She knows? Me knows? I know what? See, weird. I go back to focusing on finding my brother. This party was absolutely packed and it was like a can of sardines in here, how the hell was I meant to find my brother?

"Hey Trinny!" I turn around and see my brother standing against a wall with red cup, obviously filled with alcohol. He is also standing with another person, dressed all in black and he did not look like he wanted to be here. He and I would make great friends. I make my way over to them

"Hey Tay" I smile politely and turn to his friend, hoping he would introduce himself in same way

"Oh, this is Joel" Taylor informs

"Hi, I'm Trinity" I smile warmly, to which I receive a grunt and he leaves the conversation.

"Well he seems… nice"

"About as nice as you" Taylor nudges me

"Hey! I am nice, I'm making friends."

"Obviously, you don't mean you're making friends here"

"I just got here"

"Yeah and the old Trinity would already have 10 people fawning over her" He chuckles, taking a sip of his beer but I freeze. That's exactly what would've happened if I was still the old Trinity.

"You know I'm not that person anymore" I answer, all traces of laughter gone from my voice.

"I know Trinny. You don't have to be that person in order to make friends. The real Trinity is just as capable as the old one"

"The old Trinity made friends by sucking a lot of dick" I remembered and watch as my brother spits his beer out everywhere followed by choking

"Come on Trinny!"

"I'm kidding!" I tell him as I turn my back to walk away, "Kind of"

It wasn't long after that that I realised I had a voicemail from Elena

"Hey, Trinity, it's Elena. Just calling to let you know why we left, so call me when you get this. Bye." Well shit. I was stuck here with all these frat boys. I wanted to get out of here. I tried squeezing my way back to the exit as fast as possible… so it took me like 10 minutes to cross one room, but I finally made it there. Stepping outside I took a deep breath of fresh air that didn't smell like beer. After that euphoric experience, I looked around and saw Caroline and Elena hovering over a girl on the ground.

"Hey guys, is she okay?" I asked from behind them, obviously startling them as they jumped

"Trinity, she's fine, you should go home" Elena told me and I could see her intentionally place her statue in front of the girl on the ground. Despite her best efforts, I could see through her legs and noticed the girls neck. It was covered in blood and looked like someone had literally eaten the poor girl

"What happened to her neck?" I gasp

"Nothing Trinity, we've already called the police, go back to the dorm so you won't have to answer stupid questions" Caroline told me. I guess I didn't want to spend all night talking to cops about something I didn't see

"Fine" I answer begrudgingly before leaving them to their business

"Great, now we have to call the police" Elena sighs in the background. I thought they said they had called the police?

A few hours later, the other two finally arrived home. I had already gotten in bed, ready to sleep when they came through the door. Obviously, they thought I was sleeping because they took quiet footsteps and spoke in a whisper.

"This doesn't make any sense. Firstly, we get a new roommate who puts vervain in her drinking water, "Caroline whispers. That's a personal choice, what's that got to do with anything at all?

"And now we find a dead girl with her throat ripped open, and now the school's covering it up a as a suicide" I saw that girls neck, that was no suicide. I came to this school because it was quiet and unremarkable. Nothing ever happens in Virginia, let alone at Whitmore. This was already the opposite of what I wanted. Closing my eyes, I tried to get some sleep.

If I thought sleeping would pull my out of my thoughts about my weird new roommates, I was severely wrong. I woke up feeling more paranoid than ever. So, I called my brother, like I always did in situations where I didn't know what to do. Out of the two of us, I was probably the… let's just say, I wasn't as smart as my brother. I never really payed that much attention in school, didn't need to, but now that's coming back to bite me in the ass. Within an hour, I was at the coffee shop with Taylor "I'm telling you Taylor, something is super off with them. It just doesn't feel right". I shiver slightly. "Oh, come on, they're 18-year-old girls, they can't have a whole other secret life" Taylor shrugged. I just stared at him... because that was totally possible… considering that was my exact situation. After a few moments of silence, Taylor looks towards me and notices my look along with my raised eyebrow "Oh right… except for you of course" Maybe I was the smart one. I rolled my eyes and looked out of the glass window next to our table. We could see the memorial that the students of the school set up for the girl who 'committed suicide' last night. I could also see my new roommates standing there, but they weren't placing flowers or leaving a card or anything. They were just standing there talking. "Ohhh, there's your besties" My brother joked as I continued to stare, paying him no attention.

"Uh, hello to Trinity. You're staring" I break the trance I was in and focus back on my brother

"Maybe you're the weird one" He chuckled to himself.

"Okay but don't you find it strange that they are just standing there, they aren't placing flowers or anything like that"

"So? It's not suspicious to stand in front of a public memorial for a girl they didn't even know without giving her flowers" I take another look out the window and notice Elena hand Caroline a folder.

"See? Now they are passing folders around, that's suspicious" I tell him

"Yeah, you're right! That is suspicious. Two college students sharing a folder of papers, so strange" I could practically hear the sarcasm dripping from his voice

"You are no help. I can't stay there anymore, I'm always on edge around them now"

"No, look, you're not moving out. Moving out because you are having hallucinations is not a good enough reason"

"Hallucinations? I'm not hallucinating," I roll my eyes, and look out again to watch the two girls walk away, "there's just something not right here"

Later, Taylor and I were on our way to our first class as college students. It was exciting if I am being completely honest. I don't usually have any emotion but I was actually feeling something for once, I even wore a smile on the way.

"Look at that, you actually have emotions, wow" My brother's sarcasm never ends but I didn't even care, I was too excited for this, nothing could bring me down. That was until we almost literally ran into Caroline and Elena who were hurrying out of a classroom

"Oh, hey Trinity" Elena smiled

"We just finished our first class" Caroline rushed out quickly, as if to answer my next question. I looked towards the classroom.

"That's a microbiology classroom," I tell them, "You guys aren't even studying the same degree" I raise an eyebrow

"Which is why we left the class" Caroline answers

"We should go" And with that they left. I turned to my brother wearing an 'I told you so' face

"Oh, come on, don't give me that look. It's not suspicious that two college freshmen decided to check out different classes on their first day, you need to chill." I sighed because I guess he was right. Sure, they were a little strange and obviously had secrets but they didn't mean there was anything wrong with them. Maybe I was overreacting.

By the time I got home, it was dark. Taylor and I had found a recording studio and let's just say time got away from us. I was honestly so exhausted and just wanted to drink and sleep. Taylor and probably everyone else on campus was going to this bonfire thing the school was having but I am so done with college parties after the last time. I mean, a girl died at the last party so no thank you. Twisting the key in the lock of the dorm room door, I was looking forward to drinking all the alcohol in this dorm and passing out. Sounds like the best night to me. Opening the door, I dumped my school bag by the door and walked into the room.

"Holy shit!" I jumped, my heart racing a million miles an hour. Seated on Elena's bed was a man. A hot man. He had raven black hair paired with frosty ice eyes which could definitely beat mine out for best eyes.

"Who are you?" I demand, my heart pumping in my chest

"Who are you?" The man asked, standing up

"I live here, I think you should be the one answering the questions" His face softened and a look of recognition passed across his face

"Oh, you're Trinity" He told me. I knew that already

"I'm Damon" He flashed me a devilish smirk

"You're Elena's boyfriend" I visibly relaxed.

"She's at the bonfire, nice to meet you" I tell him, assuming he would leave to find her

"I know, I thought I'd come back here and wait. College parties aren't exactly my thing" He told me whilst his eyes searched the room, admiring everything

"Uh, me neither" I answer as I sit down on my own bed and watch him walk around the room, picking up and admiring anything that caught his fancy

"Why not? You look like the kind of girl who would thrive at a college party" Excuse me? Thrive?

"And why would you think that Damon?" I wonder and he turns his head to look at me. I watch his eyes quickly look up and down my body, and settle on my head.

"Oh, so just because I'm blonde, I should be at a college party drinking shitty alcohol, sucking every frat dude off, is that it?" I demand, my arms crossed. I could see a slight smile appear on his face. I was angry, why was he smiling?

"You're adorable when you're angry" He smirks, and I could just tell he knew it would set me off. So, I didn't give in, I didn't yell or scream.

"So, are you going to leave now? You came in, insulted me and touched all my stuff, surely you're done here" I roll my eyes

"Nope, I'm gonna wait for Elena" He tells me as he comes to sit back down on Elena's bed next to mine. Well there goes my plans for the night. I looked over towards him. He looked like he would make a good drinking buddy

"You wanna get drunk?" I ask. His head looks towards me with a small laugh

"No thanks, I'm sure whatever mixed vodka drinks you have will be disgusting" This guy really was a misogynistic dick, how the hell did someone like Elena end up with him?

"Suit yourself" I smirk, going over to one of the cupboards which I had stocked my alcohol in. Pulling out several bottles of Jack Daniels, I bring them back to my bed and start drinking the first one from the bottle

"Woah, hold on, you drink Jack?" I shrug to his question. I watch him lean over and steal the bottle from my hands.

"I thought my drinks were too girly for you" I smirk as he begins to gulp down the bottle

"Shut up" He chuckles in the brief moment he pulled the bottle away from his lips. I laughed in response and picked up another bottle for myself because I had a feeling that I was not getting the first bottle back.

An hour later, we were both a bit hammered. Damon had moved to sit next to me on my bed so the transferring of bottles was easier. We had drunk 7 bottles of Jack between us and after drinking that much, Damon was tolerable. Actually, I guess he was more than tolerable.

"So…" He begins and I feel him tug on a piece of my hair

"Is it natural?" He asks

"Why does everyone ask me that?" I let a large giggle because it was true, everyone asked me that

"Its real for god's sake" I answer

"How the hell does one have naturally white hair?" He asks

"I have no idea, both of my parents have black hair so I have no idea" I shake my head with a smile. I have no idea how we ended up looking like the entire population of Russia.

"You know, you can hold your liquor" He commented and I smiled over towards him. My high tolerance for alcohol was something I took pride in.

"For a girl, at least" He finished

"You are such a sexist dick, you know that right?" I giggled

"Uh huh" He answered, taking another drink before passing the bottle to me and I repeated his action

"I guess having my first drink at age 5 was really a blessing in disguise" I laughed to myself, taking another drink. It was then I realised who I had just said that to and my laughter ceased and I froze. I barely even knew this guy and here I was divulging personal details about my life. I was not known to share my personal life with anyone, let alone some random dude who I knew nothing about.

"I should not have told you that" I shake my head

"Let me guess…." I watched him have a short think, "Mommy issues" He guessed

"Oh close" I high five him and laugh

"Daddy issues" I clarify

"Join the club" He answered, taking another swig. I turned my head to face him, studying him closely. I watched his jaw line clench as he answered my question, probably thinking about his dad. He turned his head to face mine as well, our noses were a safe distance apart for the time being but one movement of the head would bring us much, much closer than I wanted to get with my new roommates boyfriend

"What?" He questioned, obviously referring to my staring

"We're more alike than you think you know" I tell him and he laughs. I playfully punch him in the chest

"I'm serious, we both have major daddy issues and we both love Jack" I explain, taking the last swig of my bottle before disposing of it on the floor along with the other 7. He chuckled again.

"So those two facts make us the same?"

"Isn't that what friendship is all about? Having the same issues and loving the same alcohol?" I wonder aloud, giggling to myself.

"I'm sure there's more to a friendship than that" He chuckles along with me

"Probably, but I wouldn't know. I'm not great at making friends"

"Another thing you can add to your list of similarities between us"

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" I laugh

"Alright I get it. You're not the first woman to think I'm an ass"

"I don't think you're an ass" I answer, staring at his incredibly chiselled face.

"Really?" He softly questions. It must have been the alcohol talking because I would never have done this with my friends boyfriend if I was sober… well I wouldn't do it these days. There was just something about him. The way his eyes bore into mine with a frosty, yet comforting gaze. The way his eyebrows wiggled every time he said something he thought was funny. The way his lips would tug into that smirk every time he said something naughty. There was just something pulling me towards him. Like an electrical pull or something, but the next thing I knew our heads were so close together that I could feel his breathe reach my lips. One move forward and our lips would touch. My heart was racing. The kind of racing you get when you are about to have your first kiss. Tingles shot down all through my body and all I could think about was this mans lips. I watched his eyes close and his lips move closer. One more inch and our lips would be united. A key turning in the door jumped us apart. Our trance as broken and my head was now clear. What the hell was I thinking? The door swung open and Elena appeared. I was about to open my mouth to say something, anything to excuse the situation I was just in but Elena charged forward, grabbed Damon by the shirt and pulled herself down into his lap. Her lips immediately attacking his. You know that feeling when you meet a cute guy and you're getting along so well and you feel the butterflies and the tingles and all that romantic shit they talk about in the movies… and then his girlfriend walks up. That was exactly what I was feeling. It was like my heart had been stabbed, the colour drained from face and I felt physically sick. Why was I feeling like this? This was her boyfriend after all and I had known that all along. I mean for god's sake, I knew him as Elena's boyfriend.

"Okay, well I'm going to go" I practically ran out of there but before I left, Damon called out

"Trinity, you're drunk. Be careful out there" I turned to face him. I saw his worried face peeking out from above Elena's head, which was now placing rough kisses over his neck.

"Always am" I quickly turned around and left but not before I noticed Elena literally rip his shirt open, the buttons flying everywhere. I just hoped they would move to her bed, instead of doing it in mine. Now outside of the dorm, I placed my hot body against the cold dormitory walls and it was like a bucket of water had been dropped on me. I was completely level headed. Level headed and freaking the fuck out. I had almost kissed my roommates boyfriend, what the hell is wrong with me? I came here to change my life and within the first week I was already almost kissing my friend's boyfriends. I needed to get out here, so I walked. I walked outside. I walked down the pathway. I walked past the sororities and frat houses. I just keep walking. I don't know why but I just had to keep walking. Maybe I thought I could outwalk my problems or something, I don't know. In the end, I ended up at my brothers dorm where I passed out.

Surprisingly, the next morning I woke up completely fine. No headache, no foggy thoughts. While most people would celebrate the fact that they drank numerous bottles of liquor and didn't throw up or wake up with a hangover, I was not so pleased. Because I had no hangover, that meant I remembered everything, loud and clear. I had almost kissed a guy in a relationship. God what is wrong with me? I got up and made my way out, already regretting the choice to walk to my brothers. I looked like I was doing the walk of shame, how embarrassing. I kept my head down as I walked, my eyes glued to the floor in front of me. I just wanted to get home and forget that last night ever happened… forgetting that Damon ever happened, and I'm sure that could've been a possibility if the man himself didn't appear out of thin air and let me walk right into him. My head hit his chest with a thud and I looked up at his emotionless face

"How did you just appear out of nowhere?" I wonder aloud. I hadn't seen his boots in my vision line at all but I still managed to run into him

"We should talk about last night" I hold up my hand, stopping him

"Look, what happened last night was a mistake. We got drunk off our assess and what happened was just because of the alcohol I'm sure." I looked at him and his face still showed no emotion

"And if you're wondering if I'm going to tell Elena then the answer is no" I watched him visibly breathe a sigh of relief

"That's good to hear" He gave me an appreciative smile and I gave him a polite nod before moving around him, continuing the walk back to the dorm. I heard footsteps beside me and noticed Damon had also come along for the adventure

"So…" He starts and I stop to face him

"So what?" I quirk an eyebrow

"So… last night you talked about us being friends… so I was just wondering if… you know" He stumbled. Considering what I already knew about him, I never pictured Damon as the nervous type but here he was talking to me, stumbling over his words

"You were wondering if I meant it?" He didn't respond so I took that as a yes to my question

"Oh Damon, we obviously have too much in common to not be friends" I laugh as we continue walking.

"So what are you doing today?" He asks and I can tell he still feels a bit awkward so its time to work the Trinity magic and make everything less awkward

"Well I was planning on going back to my dorm and dying. Would you care to join me, friend?" I ask with an inviting eyebrow raise

"Aw, as much as I would love to go home and die with you. I can't." I tried not to let my disappointment show too clearly on my face. Guess my skills to de-awkward the situation failed.

"I'm taking Elena back to our house in Mystic Falls, her little brother is being a punk"

"Oh, you guys have a house together?" Had I almost ruined a serious relationship?

"Elena's house burned down a few months"

"That's awful" I comment. So does that mean they weren't living together by choice? More out of need? Why did that make me feel slightly better?

"Well have fun dying, this is my car" He stopped in front of a baby blue Camaro convertible.

"Holy shit," It was absolutely magnificent, "Is this a 1969 Chevy Camaro?" I asked, my mouth a jar in shock

"You know your cars?"

"Hell yeah I do" I stopped gawking at the car and looked to him to see him raise an eyebrow in question

"Just because I'm a girl I can't know cars?" I fake gasp, like I was hurt

"Didn't say that" He answered with a roll of the eyes as I chuckled along

"My dad was a mechanic, he owned his own shop for a bit and my brother and I would always help out so I got to know the cars" I answered and he nodded his head in acknowledgement

"Maybe sometime I can take you for a spin in it" He tells me. I open my mouth to answer with a hell yeah but my response is interrupted by Elena arriving and placing a sweet kiss on Damon's lips. I divert my eyes as they have their romantic encounter.

"Hey, I'm ready" She tells him before she notices me. She sends a warm smile my way

"Hey Trinity… About last night-"

"Don't worry, nothing I haven't seen before" I cut her off

"I'm still really sorry about that" She sends me an apologetic smile and I send a friendly one back

"Don't even worry about. I'll see you guys later" And with that I make my exit, headed off to my dorm for a day of popcorn and FRIENDS. The best kind of day obviously.
