"J, washroom's open."

"K, thanks 'Lena."

I can do this.

"Toast. I can make toast." Jenna offered.

"It's all about the coffee aunt Jenna," Elena said pouring herself a cup.

"Is there coffee?" Jeremy asked before taking Elena's.

"It's your first day of school and I am totally unprepared. Lunch money?" Jer and I took some but Elena shook her head.

"Anything else? A number two pencil?" Jenna joked. "What am I missing?"

"Don't you have a big presentation today?" Elena asked.

"I'm meeting with my thesis adviser at-now. Crap!" Jenna replied, pulling her hair down.

"Then go. We'll be fine." I consoled her.

"You're an angel, you know that?" She told me before running off. I smiled at her compliment.

"You okay?"

"Don't start." Jer scoffed at Elena.

"So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, which isn't 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. Elena! Juliet! Back in the car." Bonnie rambled.

Elena and I were both in the car the night our parents drove off Wickery Bridge. I somehow managed to get out, but the minute I got to land I blacked out. When I woke up, we- Elena and I- were in hospital beds being told our parents didn't make it.

"We did it again didn't we?" Elena asked.

"We- We're sorry Bonnie. You were telling us that..." I continued.

"That I'm psychic now," Bonnie stated proudly.

"Right."

"Okay, then predict something. About us." Elena challenged.

Bonnie sighed and started to say something when a crow flew across the windshield. Bonnie momentarily lost control of the car and asked Elena and I if we were okay.

"I'm okay." "I'm fine." We replied.

"It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere." Bonnie almost pleaded.

"Really, we can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of our lives," Elena said for the both of us.

"I predict this year is going to be kick-ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy." Bonnie smiled.

We got to school and I noticed a new guy on the quad. I broke off from Bonnie and Elena and made my way over to Caroline and the team. I'm the youngest co-captain in 15 years.

"There you are!" Caroline exclaimed. "How are you?" She asked pulling me into a hug. I knew she didn't really care but I answered anyway.

"I'm fine. Thank you."

"Really." She confirmed, pulling a weird face.

"Yes, much better," I said robotically. Caroline then left to interrogate my sister.

"Okay, falls party. Any ideas?" I asked everyone who was left.

"Jeremy, nice batch, man." I followed Jeremy, praying Elena didn't. Lucky for Jeremy she didn't. I walked into the Men's room and found Jer using eye drops.

"Pants down chick." Some guy said coming out of a stall.

"Jer, are you stoned?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Why? You gonna go rat me out to Jenna?" He snapped back. Yep. Definitely stoned.

"Nope," I replied truthfully. "Just wanted to make sure you know how much you're screwing up your life by using drugs as a coping method."

"At least I don't have a diary, or have so much on my plate that I don't have any time for my family." Jeremy shot at me.

"You wanna spend time with me? Great, let me know when you stop doing drugs and stop following Vicki Donovan around like a lost puppy." I knew it was a low blow, but I needed him to listen to me. I walked out of the washroom, into a chest.

"Uh- pardon me." A male voice said. "Is this the men's room?" The gorgeous guy in front of me asked.

"Uh- yeah. Twin brother, long story, kinda sad. It'd make a great book." I rambled, starting to sound like Bonnie.

"I'm Juliet," I told him.

"Stefan," Stefan replied.

I gave him a smile and stepped to the left. Only he stepped to his right at the same time. I then stepped to the other side but he had the same idea. Stefan moved again and I moved past him, muttering a 'Thank you.'

"Once our home state of Virginia joined the confederacy in 1861 it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union." Mr. Tanner droned on and on. Eventually, I tuned out and noticed the stares going around the class between Elena, Stefan, and Matt.

Bonnie sent a text to 'Lena, which she read with a smile.

After school, Elena and I walked to the cemetery where we both pulled out our journals and started writing.

Dear Diary,

I made it through the day. I must have said, 'I'm fine, thanks,' at least 37 times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks 'How are you?'. They really don't want an answer.

I was brought out of my writing by a crow on a tombstone. It squawked and Elena greeted it.

"Okay. Hi, bird." It squawked again, so I said- "That's not creepy or anything."

Out of no-where fog started rolling in around us and the bird squawked twice more before Elena shooed it away. We turned back to find the crow resting on the stone 'Lena was leaning against before. Elena grabbed her bag and started running, while I stayed in the fog.

I saw a figure standing behind an angel statue and went closer. I couldn't find anyone so I went after Elena, to find her looking around confused.

"What?" I asked her. She turned to me.

"Nothing," Elena said slowly, looking around once more. "Let's go home."

Elena and I were about to leave (After Jenna layed down "rules"), but when Elena opened the door, Stefan blocked the way out.

"Oh."

"Sorry, I was about to knock." Stefan apologized. "I wanted to apologize for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was... strange." They talked a little more and Stefan returned Elena's journal, which she dropped earlier at the cemetery. Finally, I just invited Stefan to come with us to meet Bonnie and Caroline at the grill.

I walked in ahead of Elena and Stefan and joined Care and Ty at the pool table. I saw Matt go over and introduce himself.

I dragged Care to where Bonnie, Elena, and Stefan were sitting, and she immediately started interrogating him.

"So, you were born in Mystic Falls?" She started

"Mm-hmm. And moved when I was still young."

"Parents?" Bonnie inquired.

"My parents passed away."

"I'm sorry." Elena consoled, sympathetically. "Any siblings?"

"None that I talk to. I live with my uncle." Stefan explained.

"So, Stefan, If you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow." Caroline smiled at him.

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

"Are you going?" He asked Elena.

"Of course she is," I answered for her. Elena sheepishly tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at Stefan.
