It's a new year, a new beginning, no more sad girl. When someone asks me if I'm ok? I'm going to smile and say "I'm fine" and I'm going to mean it. I'm going to try hard at school, I'm going to restart cheerleading. It's going to be a good year.
Who am I kidding? I can't stand to play the plain Jane, boring doppelgänger life of Elena Gilbert. I need more excitement then that other wise I get bored. And boredom is not a good look on any
Petrova.
I've decided that as a result of getting over my 'parents' death I'm going to recreate my wardrobe and maybe my personality. I mean grief can do that to you right? First things first, I shower, I need to wash the dullness off of me. Then I walk into my room and blow dry my hair, arranging it in the lush natural curls I missed so much. Next, I pull 4 suitcases, an overnight bag and about 10 shoeboxes out from under my bed and the bottom of my closet. I open the suitcases up and use my vampire speed to swap my current closest contents for the cloths in the suitcases. I then line all my shoes up on the shoe rack in the bottom of the closet and take the make up I brought 4 months ago on my dressing table. Now I can get ready for the first day at school, I paint my nails my signature blood red, put on dark eyeshadow, curl my eyelashes and coat them with mascara. I then, put a light blush onto my cheeks and use a golden highlighter that glows against my olive skin. I paint my lips a neutral shade of pink and then walk over to my closet to get dressed. I take of my bath robe and put on black lace underwear, I put on a tight fitting blue tank top with black high waisted jeans. I put a long silver necklace over the top which stops just below my breasts, matching my silver earrings and my daylight ring, which I like to wear even though I don't need it. I the pull on my favourite black leather jacket and some swede stiletto boots and place a Gucci belt around my waist. I look my self over and deem my self suitable to leave, as I walk downstairs I hear aunt Jenna and Jeremy in the kitchen.
"Good morning" I say as I walk into the kitchen a pour myself a cup of coffee which is immediately taken by Jeremy. I grab another as they both finally look my way. "New look, I like it" aunt Jenna tells me after offering lunch money. "Thanks, don't you have some presentation thingy today" I respond knowing that she was running late and needed to go.
After Jenna run out the door in a mad rush, bonnie arrives to drive me to school. We talk about how her grams is hitting the bottle and saying she's a witch. Bonnie doesn't believe her but I do I mean most powerful witches are either old drunks or old drunks running a bar. Anyway, I feel like something big is going to happen today, maybe I'll make a new friend.

I walk in to school and heads turn, everybody starts whispering about the poor little Gilbert who's parents died or about how good I looked with my makeover. As I reach my locker my bubbly blond bestie Caroline Forbes, runs up and hugs me talking a mile a minute about how great the years going to be and then asking how I was.
"I'm fine care. I promise. This years going to be great, we're going to party, have fun and live life to the fullest." I respond, causing both Bonnie and Caroline's jaws to drop. "I'll see you at practice tonight" I say and close my locker before walking of to my AP Literature class. I decide over the holidays I need something even slightly challenging to do so I took some tests at school and got put in all AP classes. I'm walking by the office when I sense a vampire, I focus my hearing and find out his name is Stefan Salvatore, one of the infamous Salvatore brothers that Katerina toyed with in 1864. I've dabbled with the Salvatore brothers as well, I first met Stefan in 1865, mere months after he had turned, I taught him how to be a vampire we partied together for a few years before I compelled him to forget me and left him in 1872. I've met him a few time since then we're the best of friends even if I have to make him forget me every time we part. But this time he thinks I'm human and it's 2009 so if he stays more than a year then he can remember everything and I won't have to hide. I purposely bump into him on his way out and reintroduce my self.
"Hi I'm Elena Gilbert, sorry about that I wasn't looking where I was going" I say while looking up into his green eyes. "It's fine, I wasn't paying attention either. I'm Stefan Salvatore." He smoothly replies whilst brushing his hand through his hero hair. "A pleasure to meet you mr Salvatore" I say mimicking the first time we met. "The pleasure is all mine miss Gilbert, do you by any chance know where AP literature is?" He responds. "I'm on my way there now, would you care to accompany me?" I say as I turn and walk towards class, turning my head over my shoulder at the last part. It gives me a chance to look him over properly, he looks just the same with his short blond hair spiked up casually, his deep set forest green eyes and his strong bone structure. He's classically handsome with his flat muscles, athletic physique and brooding, mysterious aura. His heartwarming smile and pale complexion contrasting with his dark blue jeans and grey round-neck t-shirt, a black leather jacket thrown over the top and dark sun glasses. I know that has a rose tattoo on his shoulder hidden by his clothes which symbolised me as his best friend, as when I first met him my alias was Rose Smith, and since then he calls me his little rose. He also has his large silver lapis lazuli daylight ring on his right middle finger which has the Salvatore crest with the letter S engraved into the stone.
We walk to class and make it just as the bell rings taking the last two seats next to each other at the back. Classes bore on and on throughout the day with me and Stefan making jokes and re becoming friends. It gets to the end of the day and I invite Stefan to meet me and the girls at the grill tonight so he can get to know more people I'm town. I just hope he likes my new friends, I can see him and care as a great couple.
I go straight to cheer practice after classes finish for the day and meet up with bonnie and Caroline as we stretch and warm up together.
"Soooo, who's the hot new guy you've been hanging out with all day." Bonnie asks dragging out the o sound in the so.
"Stefan Salvatore, he's Zack Salvatore's nephew, his parents were in the military so he moved around a lot but they passed and he's been passed around different family members but he's settling here with Zack for the foreseeable future. He's going to be my best guy friend, I think, we're going to be close like me and Matt were, or at least that's what I'm going for. And before you ask why. I don't need a relationship at the moment, I'm still getting over Matt and my parents all I need is a fun drama free year. So he's up for grabs" I say as we join up with the rest of the girls and care goes to stand at the front to instruct. Despite not being at summer camp I can follow quiet easily due to my vampire reflexes I keep up better than some of the others who knew the routine we where going through.

Time passes quickly and Damon arrives in town bringing his usual dram and trail of death with him. the bodies start piling up and soon Vicki is a vampire and then dead, mr Tanner is dead and replaced by self proclaimed vampire hunter Alaric "Rick" Saltzman. Caroline becomes Damon's puppet which I condone to an extent. Bonnie discovers she's a witch and gets kidnapped by Anna Jeremy's vampire girlfriend, who only wants to save her mom from the tomb. Katherine is around in the background meddling with uncle john and mummy dearest. The founders council are running around with a vampire tracking pocket watch trying to find Damon who is ironically part of the and her grams open the tomb under fells church and its revealed that Katerina was never in there and Bonnie's grams ends up dead from exhaustion. Uncle john gets hold of the Gilbert device which causes pain to vampires and DNS's up killing the tomb vampires, Anna and pearl (her mom) and mayor Lockwood (unturned werewolf). Tyler crashes his car during this and Caroline ends up in hospital needing vampire blood. Katerina kills Caroline and she becomes a vampire. Mason Lockwood then arrives in town and turns out he's a werewolf ( Damon kills him), Tyler then accidentally activates his wolf curse and everyone is searching for the moonstone to break the fake sun and moon curse. I then get kidnapped and taken to a house in the middle of nowhere and re meet Rose and Trevor, who want to trade me to Elijah for their freedom from klaus.
Stefan and Damon still don't remember there past wit me but if I bump into Elijah today like I suspect I will, then I can give them their memories back soon.

I remember Rose and Trevor. They helped Katherine escape the ritual 500 years ago and turned her. Though they were the reason I couldn't meet the originals sooner so if Elijah doesn't kill them when he gets here I'll kill them later. Because although I wasn't supposed to meet the originals until this point in history the actual prophecy stated that I wasn't to interfere until the hybrid broke his curse.
I pretend to wake up, confused about where I was, I call out "hello?, where am I?" And then "who are you?" When rose and Trevor come into sight. Trevor is panicking about how Elijah is going to kill him and Rose is reassuring him that everything is going to be fine if he sticks to the plan. I play the naïve and unknowing human role and ask "who's Elijah?"
"He's an original, didn't your boy toy Salvatore's tell you the legends about vampires" Rose says whilst glaring at me. "So he's one of the first vampires"I ask cautiously "maybe your not as oblivious as I thought." She has no idea how true that was, I probably know more about the originals then she does. But anyway they go back to ignoring me until a couple of hours later Trevor lets out a panic shout "he's here, I knew it was a mistake, we can still run." And Rose calmly replies "everything's going to work out just let me do the talking" and opens the door to greet Elijah and leads him through to me.
Elijah walks in, dressed to perfection in a dark coloured suit that reflects his gentlemanly personality perfectly, and with his dark hair, hazel brown eyes and high cheekbones, he looks perfectly handsome. I wish I could tell him everything but for now he must believe I'm human, so it doesn't disrupt the breaking of Niklaus' curse. I smile nostalgically to myself but change my expression before he can notice. With Elijah arriving in town it will be mere months before Niklaus arrives and breaks his curse. I've waited 3000 years for a family and now I will be getting everything I've ever wanted.
As Elijah runs his eyes over me he whispers "human, impossible". That's when I hear my mothers voice softly ringing in my ear, "trust him. Trust him. He will help you and keep you a secret. Tell him the truth about the coffins containing the others and he will work with you." My face lights up with joy, which is apparently visible, which causes Elijah's eyebrows to furrow in confusion. I stand up and using vampire speed I kill Rose and Trevor, and turn to Elijah and say "they betrayed Niklaus they had to die. Now how about we go get some coffee and brunch, and I'll explain everything you need to know Elijah Mikaelson"
