AN: I have been having this idea for a while now and decided to write a story about it. I know I know there are dozens of other stories with similar storyline. But I really wanted to give it a try. However, I will only continue if you like it and want me to continue. So let me know what you think.
Chapter 1: What The Hell!
I was sitting in the cafeteria and quickly eating my food as I have to go to the library later and finish an assignment. I am a freshman in the college and still have a long way to go. I have everything planned for my future. It is going to be very hard but I am sure I would make it and be where I want to be. As I am new in the country, I don't know anyone and no one knows me. But that's fine. Loneliness doesn't really bother me and I will make friends, eventually. I am certainly not desperate for company though. While I was eating, a group of girls walked into the cafeteria. I have seen their faces before around the campus but don't know their names or who they are. They were excitedly talking about something. But what they talk about is none of my business therefore even though I felt interested but I didn't eavesdrop.
"Mind if we sit here?" One of the girls asked. I noticed that everywhere else is full. I shook my head in reply. Three chairs were empty at the table. Three girls from the group sat there and two more girls arranged chairs from another tables and joined their friends.
"Hi, I am Sarah. What's your name?" The girl named Sarah asked me. I hesitated a bit before answering.
"Lolita."
"Oh!" said Sarah as she raised her eye brows at me. Apparently she knew about the origin of the name and what it means which is 'a sexually precocious young girl'. There are other meanings of this name, I am sure of it but people usually go with this one because of the famous novel written by Vladimir Nabokov. And for that I hate my aunt who gave me this name and my mother for going along with it. Seriously what were they thinking. If I could I would have changed my name but unfortunately I have to go along with it for the rest of my life.
"These are my friends" said Sarah and she introduced me to them and them to me. Hearing my name, one of them smirked, one of them snickered and I stayed quiet about it. Feeling embarrassed inwardly. After speaking with me for a while, they went back to their old topic.
"Seriously I am telling you TVD wouldn't suck so much if Elena was still with Stefan. Stelena seems natural. Delena is forced." Said one girl whose name I think is Leah. I had no idea what they were talking about so I stayed quiet.
"I can't believe you just said that." Mitchel exclaimed loudly with disbelieve in her voice. "Delena is wonderful. Stelena was boring."
"Honestly I am getting tired of this love triangle bullshit. I am falling in love with TO now. Hope the writers don't start a love triangle there" said Sarah more to herself than to her friends.
"Yeah TO is amazing but TVD could do better in next season. I am hoping for it" said Leah hopefully.
"Well, I don't know about TVD but I can't wait for TO next season. With Esther and Finn back from the dead and Mikael as well. Second season is going to be a blast. I just know it. And hopefully Kol would come back too. It would be perfect." Said Jay quite enthusiastically.
"Who is your favorite character Lolita?" Sarah asked me suddenly.
"Favorite character of what?" I asked in return.
"Of TVD and TO." I gave her a look that clearly said 'I don't know what are you talking about'.
"She means the vampire diaries and the originals" explained Leah.
"Oh! I don't watch them" I said. I only knew that there are TV shows called the vampire diaries which is adapted from a novel of the same name and the originals. I didn't know anything else about it.
"So which show do you watch?" asked Sarah with interest.
"I don't really watch TV shows. I could only watch one or two movies in a month. With studies and work. I don't get a lot of free time." I said being honest about it. Besides, I am not that interested in watching movies or TV shows. I am more into reading books.
"So you have never seen a single episode of TVD?" asked Jay with disbelieve in her voice and she looked quite shocked.
"No sorry." I said with a shrug off my shoulders. I looked at my watch and realized that I was getting late. I gathered my stuffs before saying.
"I have to go to the library. It was nice knowing you girls." I said politely with a smile.
"Yeah it was nice meeting you too" said the girls.
"Bye." They said in unison.
"Bye." I said back and left. After one and a half hour, I walked out of the library after completing my assignment. I bumped into Sarah and Jay on my way out.
"Hey we were looking for you" said Sarah. I wondered why. I got curious and asked-
"Oh, why? Is everything alright?"
"We are planning on watching TVD from season one to season five staring from this evening. And we were wondering if you would like to join us?" asked Sarah and I got into thinking about it.
"It would be fun. I am sure once you watch the show, you would love it" said Jay excitedly. I have no desire to watch the show but turning them down would be rude as they were asking me so nicely. I decided that after watching a few episodes, I would make an excuse and leave.
"Yeah, I would love to join you." I said politely. "Where do I need to be?"
"At Leah's house. Actually we are going over there right now. Why don't you come with us?" said Sarah and I nodded my head. Saving myself from the trouble of finding Leah's house later.
"That would be great. Thanks."
Later in the evening we started watching the show. Everyone else watched the episodes many times before but still they acted like they are watching it for the first time. They were that excited about it. I was finding it hard to believe that these girls are so passionate about a simple TV show. Anyway, what they are passionate about is none of my business. I was there to simply spend sometime with them. The first episode started and finished and I realized that the show is going to be about two brothers fighting over a girl. So not my thing. I endured next three episodes and decided it was time to take my leave. Before I could say anything Sarah spoke up.
"You are not enjoying this are you?" She asked with surety. I realized that there was no point in denying that so I shook my head in agreement.
"Seriously, are you from a different planet?" asked Jay sounding annoyed.
"Jay shut up. You can't force your liking onto someone else" scolded Mitchel. Jay rolled her eyes at her friend before looking back at me.
"You are not liking it because you are determined not to like it" said Jay frowning at me with anger. Obviously my disinterest in her favorite show has offended her.
"Jay relax, it's just a TV show." I tried to reason with her but it made the situation worse.
"TVD is not 'just a TV show' but a nerd like you would never understand it." Jay's outburst really startled me. I didn't expect that.
"Jay!" Others yelled at her for insulting me. I couldn't stay there anymore. I was humiliated enough already.
"Thank you for having me over here but I am going to take my leave now" saying that I started walking out of the house. Sarah followed me out.
"I am sorry about Jay. She could get like that when it comes to TVD. Otherwise she is a really sweet person." Sarah said and I nodded to that.
"It's okay. I understand she loves the show. But I really should leave. I have got work early in the morning" saying that I left. When I get back to my dorm room, I dropped myself on the bed. I was feeling very tired. I remained still for a while before getting up and turning on my laptop. I found a website where I could watch the episodes of TVD. What is about this show that makes people obsessed with it? I started watching the show from the beginning once again. It took me a week to finish five seasons even though I watched it skipping scenes in between the episodes. For a week, I tried avoiding the fan girls' group at any cost and managed to do so. However once I finished watching the show, I found them myself.
"Hey Lolita, where have you been? We were looking for you" said Sarah, approaching me. Again we met in the cafeteria.
"I was busy." I replied her.
"Come sit with us." She invited. I nodded my head and joined them. I had a purpose for joining them though. Jay grew quite uncomfortable seeing me. She knew she should apologize to me for the other day but she didn't want to as I didn't like TVD and said it on her face.
"So what were you busy doing? If you don't mind me asking" inquired Sarah. She had a feeling that I was purposely avoiding them. Which was true.
"Not at all. I was busy watching TVD actually." I said and it shocked the group.
"Really?" asked Leah with disbelieve in her voice.
"Yeah, I watched all five seasons." I said truthfully.
"And you like it now, don't you? I knew you would love it once you really give into the show" said Jay quite excitedly. I smiled at her.
"Yeah I watched all the episodes but unfortunately, I still think it's just a TV show. Not to mention season four and five sucked. I really could have lived my life without knowing anything about this show." I said and no, I wasn't trying to spite Jay or anything. I was just stating my opinion.
"Sorry girls but I am better off being a nerd than be a fan of TVD." With that I got up from the table and I left the cafeteria. Little did I know what I just did? Later at night that day, I was returning to my dorm from the place I worked. I was walking on the pedestrian road. There was no one else in the street. However suddenly I felt like someone is following me. I turned around but didn't see anyone. Deciding that I am being unnecessarily paranoid, I started walking again.
"Hello Lolita." Suddenly a voice spoke up, startling me to death. I looked beside me and found Jay. I frowned at her with confusion.
"Jay, what are you doing here?" I asked being clueless about her presence there.
"You shouldn't have disliked vampire diaries" said Jay in a strange tone of voice. It sounded quite spooky. But I only got irritated.
"Oh well I dislike it and there is nothing you can do about it." I said stubbornly and angrily as well. This is really getting stupid now. Jay smirked at me and said-
"On the contrary, I can." I furrowed my brows at her with confusion along with annoyance.
"Really? What are you gonna do?" I challenged Jay.
"I am gonna make you like the show. And maybe you could save my favorite character as well." What Jay said, didn't make any sense to me at all.
"What?" Is the only thing I had the chance to ask. All on a sudden, I was hit by bright white light. I closed my eyes shut and felt quite weird. I wanted to throw up but kept my mouth closed. Then all on a sudden I stopped feeling weird. I dared to open my eyes again. However only to find Jeremy Gilbert trying to drive a stake through my heart. I acted on my instinct and kicked Jeremy in between his legs. Jeremy doubled over with pain. He was actually trying to stake the original vampire named Kol. I appeared in between them out of nowhere.
"What the hell?!" I said out loud. Kol took the opportunity and fought back. He pushed Elena away from him, who was holding him down with a meat cleaver just a moment ago. My appearance had everyone startled including Kol. Not to mention I was feeling confused myself. At last I couldn't take it anymore and passed out. Hoping that whatever just happened was nothing but a nightmare. And when I wake up again, I would find myself in my dorm room. Little did I know, it was just a wishful thinking?
AN: So, how was it? Good? Bad? Awful? I will write another chapter of this story depending on your response, so... let me know what you think. Lol
