Chapter 1: New Start

10:46pm September 3rd

Dear Diary,

It's hard. No it's worse than hard actually. It's unyielding. The thought of being the 'new girl' in a new town, a new school and with new people. I like the fact that we had to move, I didn't understand it at first either however I knew he was doing what was best for our family. So I didn't challenge him about it.

Dad had a promotion, so now here we are living in the small town of Mystic Falls. Mystic Falls isn't very far away from out old town so we didn't really have to move however, when it comes to my family, I'm never selfish I always put them first and respect their decision even if Jeremy flipped when they told him. I think he's getting use to the idea of living here; he hasn't been snappy with us lately, which is an improvement. I guess he realised that we obviously moved for a reason and I like how he is being mature about the situation now, even if when our parents first broke the news to us he stormed out of the house and didn't come back until the afternoon of the next day. He is really starting to take responsibly.

Tomorrow my first day at Mystic Falls High School starts. I'm feeling apprehensive however I am also looking forward to it at the same time. I'll be able to meet new people, make new friends and possibly join extra activities. Considering I was a cheerleader in my last school I'm hoping to be able to get a chance to join the squad, only if there's an opening of course. At my previous school I was one a part of the 'popular' crowd as most people liked to call it but I never liked that, I always treated everyone equally. My friends and I were all cheerleaders and we would always spend our time with the football team. Shortly we all became good friends. I made the mistake of starting to date my best friend Matt. We were great, he was an amazing boyfriend/best friend and always treated me with respect. However we never seemed to have a spark, we I never had the spark or felt butterflies when we kissed. So breaking up with him was hard because I thought I would lose my best friend, which you already know since that's all I could right about for weeks after the break up. It was awkward for a week or so but we soon became best friends again and it didn't feel awkward. Leaving him behind was difficult for me, it was difficult for him having to say goodbye too. I'm sure we'll meet up at weekends nonetheless things won't be the same not having him around.

There will definitely be a lot of changes, like partly loosing Matt but hopefully they will also be nice changes, I may even have a similar life to the one I had back home.

All through summer vacation I have been hesitant on how my first day will map out. Will I end up going home crying? Or will I end up going home with a substantial smile plastered across my face? They are two of many questions which have been sprinting through my mind every day and every night before I go to sleep. I don't want to show my parents how fearful I am of tomorrow, I want to welcome tomorrow and take each moment as it is given to me. I want to be happy for what the day is going to bring. I need to be happy. I need to remember everything does happen for a reason and whatever happens tomorrow there's a reason behind it. Everything that happens tomorrow will destine my high school future. Even if it turns out worse than I thought, there will always be something better coming, I just need to wait for it. I cannot lose hope in myself because when the sun goes down, the stars always come out.

Well, diary, it's getting late now. I have an early start so I think I should get some sleep. Goodnight.

Elena sighed and closed her lilac, leather covered journal. She leaned over to open the small draw of her white painted, wooden oak nightstand and placed her journal inside before closing it once again. She turned off the bright lamp which stood on top of the nightstand. Elena turned over to face the window to the left of her bed, gazing through the gap in the cream, cotton floral patterned curtains watching the small moon hanging in the open, naked, navigable midnight sky.

Elena's eye lids were growing heavier and heavier. Slowly, but peacefully Elena slipped away into a deep, magical sleep.

All Elena could do was wait for what tomorrow would bring.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I will be putting the next chapter up soon and I hope you enjoyed this one!
