Dear Diary,
You know what sucks? My life. Yeah, it's like it knows exactly how to push my buttons, how to play with my emotions and ruin all chances of happiness. Dark, I know. You see my whole life, I was alone, I spent my childhood crying, all alone on the streets. I cried, and cried until one day the tears just stopped. It didn't hurt anymore, I still remember the exact moment it happened, like it was just yesterday. I stopped crying and instead I turned my pain into anger. Anger and courage, you know that tingly feeling you get every time you're nervous, well it stopped too. It was as if my body had run out of tears. It was as if my emotions just stopped. So let me tell you this, I am a bitch, I truly am. I can tell you this, if you were a human being and you'd met me then you'd understand how I really am the most negative person around. I am no sweetheart, no little girl waiting for her parents to return. I manipulate, I do whatever it takes and I don't hesitate and before you get your panties in a bunch, don't worry I haven't murdered anyone, raped or kidnapped anyone…. I think. I've had a past, and I let it control me, and to be honest I'm proud it does because it reminds me of who I truly am, it shows me that no one can be trusted. The world is a cruel, cruel place my friends. So if you ever decide to make me a piece in your little pathetic game, don't be surprised if I decide to f*cking play.

CHAPTER ONE:
Picture this, I wake up to the sound of birds chirping, the sun shining, the air all warm and tingly. What a perfect day, except, my life was never perfect. Ever. I jump out of my bed, only to realize that this wasn't my bed. Wait… this isn't my bed, my room. The room looked like any average spoiled teenage brats room, I was lying in a queen bed with fluffy red covers, the walls decorated in glitter. GLITTER? If there's anything in the world that I despise its glitter. Any usual person would scream but I'm sorry to say that I am very far from usual. My screams did not echo through out this huge new room I had woken up in, no, instead I grab the nearest weapon I can find. Which is of course a baseball bat. I don't even like baseball.
Well, I don't really like anything but that's totally irrelevant. I grab the baseball and walk down the hall, I reach the end and go down the stairs. I stop dead in my tracks the moment I see a young woman in her mid-to-late 20's with a pale complexion, hazel eyes and medium-length blonde hair. Her height was about 5' 6, I should say and she had a slim, slightly athletic physique. No way, I think.
No. No. No. No.
It's just a coincidence. Just a coincidence. No way in hell is that Jenna, and I'm talkin' 'bout Jenna from The Vampire Diaries.
"Why are staring at me like that?" She asks. Her expression clearly showing confusion.
"You want some toast?" She continues talking but I just stare blankly at her.
"I'll take that as a no," she shrugs, " look I know I may have burned down the toaster once, but it was an accident. I swear, I mean… and you're still staring. Veronica Gilbert, is something wrong?"
"No way. No f*cking way. Please don't tell me that this i-," I was suddenly rudely interrupted by a young man, standing at 6' foot tall, he had a well-built form and possessed dark brown hair and eyes to match.
"Do we have any coffee?" he beams walking down the stairs. He was wearing all black. I mean literally only black.
"Why do you look like you just woke up to being killed… about 3 times." I state.
Jeez, I couldn't say anything in last 5 minutes and now my brain decides to work.
Millions of thoughts take over my brain but I'm not going to get into any details, I don't want to you to think I'm crazy. I finally decide not to freak out and that this is probably a temporary thing. I mean the universe must have hated this show as bad as I did so clearly I'm here to make some changes. The TV show was pretty good at first, I actually enjoyed watching it, that is at least until everything began to ALWAYS revolve around Elena. Jeremy was still a little bitch. The two Salvatore brothers kept fighting about Elena, I mean what's so special about her? I'll never know.
A new adventure I suppose. I'll play along, change the story and maybe even make it all decent again.
"Coffee, I think it's somewhere in the kitchen. Somewhere over the rainbow I think it was. Oh, and Verone, could you be a bit nicer to your brother. I'm glad you're slowly turning back to your old self. It's good to see you out of your room. I hope you have a good first day back at school!" She smiles, her eyes sparkling as if she just saw the cutest puppy in the world.
It made me wanna puke.
"Jenna, don't you have to big presentation today?" I say, trying (mostly struggling) to remember everything that has happened on this show.
"Oh, crap I'm late." She unties her hair, letting in gently fall on her shoulders, bouncing up and down as she runs out of the room nearly knocking over Elena.
Elena Gilbert, she was really gorgeous. You could immediately tell that she could get any guy she wanted if she tried. I was never the type of girl to get jealous but she had everything that I didn't. The looks, the positivity, a warm heart, a world of friends who would do anything for her. I told myself that I wasn't jealous though, I got over the jealousy stage of my life in 5th grade.
"So are you ok guys?" She smiles sweetly. What bull, I already knew all the pain she was feeling, her genius idea of hiding away her feelings. How dumb.
"Don't start." Says little Gilbert before grabbing his backpack. That truly got my blood boiling. How dare he. Imma tell you this, I got anger issues.
"Don't start? Don't start?Hu? What is wrong with you? You think that just because you're-our parents died you can talk to us like that. We are your family, ok. Whether you like it or not, I don't care. We all lost someone but we don't go around doing drugs, hating everyone. Get over yourself and you best find a way to move on. It's the only way." My head was exploding, as I grabbed a piece of burned toast and walked up into 'my room'. His face was priceless, it was a mixture of anger and desperation, the look of guilt conquering his face.
I looked down only to see that I was wearing unicorn pyjamas. Unicorn Pyjamas?!
"Get it of me, AH!" I screamed throwing my clothes out the window. Opps?
I looked into my closet in the corner of my room. I couldn't find anything to fit my style but I soon just grabbed a black, lacy tank top and some jeans and a leather jacket. A pair of ankle boots and a watch to match my quick outfit and I was ready to go. I was surprised by my calmness, I usually was one to freak out but I remained quiet and calm the entire ride with Elena and Bonnie as they talked about Bonnie's psychic abilities. Just wait and see Bonnie Bennett, you have a whole lot coming for you.
I soon found out I was actually really close to Bonnie and Caroline. Bonnie was actually really supportive when she came to pick us up. She acted like nothing was wrong and I liked it that way, I'm glad not everyone is crying.
As Bonnie and Elena talked about Matt and Elena's breakup I just leaned my head against my locker, rolling my eyes. I never liked Matt, he just proved over and over how weak he was and let's not mention annoying. Speaking of annoying Caroline Forbes runs over to me and hugs me with all strength she's got, which isn't much but I'll take it. Caroline is actually ok, in the beginning she's a total whore and just unnecessarily annoying but soon turns out to be a very loyal, badass best friend.
"Oh my god V!" Caroline says, still holding on to me. It was kind of hilarious how fast she ran past Elena to hug me.
"It's so good to see you." She says letting go of me, turning around to Bonnie and Elena.
"How is she? Is she good?" She asks them. Wow it's like she completely forgot about Elena.
"You know I'm here to." Elena snaps, slightly rolling her eyes. Clearly begging for attention. Same Elena as always.
"I'm sorry Elena, it's just that I haven't seen V over here for so long. How are you?" She smiles.
"I'm fine, better actually." Elena replies.
"Goody, well I better run." She says looking down at her phone, practically skipping out of here.
The moment she leaves Elena immediately rolled her eyes.
"Why are we even friends with her-" before I even get the chance to fight back Tyler Lockwood runs over to me and smashes his lips on mine. The kiss is quick yet deep, his lips blending with mine, for a moment I let him, let him kiss me even though I have no idea why. That all stops the moment I push him away.
"What the hell was that?" I almost scream. His eyes immediately show remorse and pleading.
"Look, I know you said it was over but I just thought that maybe… maybe it was only because of what happened to your parents. I know it's unfair of me but I do love you." His muscular hands grab onto mine, not letting go throughout his entire speech. I didn't listen, I could only think: 'what would the real Veronica Gilbert say?'
"Tyler," I begin " It's over, I've changed, after everything I've been through you won't love the new me. I am colateral damage. So man up and let me go." I let go of his hands. I told you I was a bitch, I'm not going to let anyone in because when my time comes to leave this place It won't hurt. As I begin to walk away I hear him let out a small whimper and he soon grabs onto my hand not letting me go any further.
"How can you be so sure I can move on, you're everything to me." I almost roll my eyes before meeting his dark hazel brown eyes.
"Because Ty, I saw you with Vicki Donovan earlier and you looked happy, you already have moved on." I whisper. "You never truly cared, you never did love me other wise I would have stayed with you. I did love you, you know it's just that one day after our break up you already slept with someone else." My favourite part in breakups was the guilt tripping. I loved the look of guilt on other people's faces it gave me satisfaction. How did I know about that he slept with someone else? I didn't but it was a pretty high chance he did.
He hung his head down, looking at his feat. So I was right he did sleep with someone right after our 'break up'. Even though it wasn't real I was still furious, no one deserves to be treated like that.
"V, I-I can explain, I got really drunk and I-," he didn't get to finish his sentence because I interrupted.
"Don't even start, their is no explanation for something one has done, I had just lost the most important people in my life and instead of being their for me you just hurt me more and for that I don't think I can ever forgive you." And with that I left. I looked around but Bonnie and Elena were gone, probably giving us space.
Damn it's been one day and there's more drama than I've had in my entire life time.
All this tension is making me really wanna pee so I ran into the bathroom to do my business. (Nothing happened while I was there trust me, nothing you need to know.)
5 Minutes Later
So guess this, I finish up doing you know what and walk out of the bathroom only to see Elena and the Stefan Salvatore, perfect, just perfect.
Stefan Salvatore, my expectations were met, he was definitely the good looking type of guy, his green eyes sparkled, his hero hair shinning, his muscles visible, damn.
Elena's mouth hung wide open, I could see her drooling at the sight of him, he too seemed to pay no attention to anything but her.
"I'm Stefan." He says not taking his eyes of her, it was as if they were under some hypnosis.
"I-I'm Elena." She smiles so innocently, so sweetly, oh how heartwarming it was. You sense my sarcasm?
"I'm Verone," I rudely interrupt (as usual), " Elena's sister and I'm sorry to break up your longing gazes and eye sex but Elena and I have class." His smiles fades, and he looks absolutely shocked but only for a moment. I grab Elena and we walk to History class, she screaming in my ear 'what was that for' and 'but he was perfect'.
We walk in, sit down only to realize Stefan was walking behind us the entire time. I have to hold myself back from rolling my eyes.
Tanner, our 'wonderful' teacher just talked throughout the entire class, I didn't bother listening everything he had said I already knew. Suddenly I get a text from Bonnie
BonBon: HAWT-E STARING U.
I turn around only to see Stefan staring, not just staring, it was as if he were staring deep into my soul. I smirk turning around, clearly he did not expect my reaction to be like that.
I grab my stuff prepare myself to walk out the door but before I get the chance Tanner grabs me by my shoulder forcing me to sit back down.
"Oh no missy you're not going anywhere, I'm not letting you skip class again, here extra homework," he hands me about 3 different packages full of homework.
"Sorry to disappoint you Tanner but I'm not in the mood for another nap right now," I grab the homework and rip it right in front of his face. I smirk watching his eyes widen in shock, I grab my bag and begin to walk to the door.
"Miss Gilbert, before you go could atleast hand in your textbook?" He says through gritted teeth, it was as if he just lost in wrestling match.
"Sorry Mr. T, it's at home." I walk out the door, not caring who sees.
"Well what's it doing there?" He screams before I leave.
"Obviously having more fun than I am," my voice echoing throughout the hallway. Well that shut him up.
