MY NAME IS HOPE; Hope Mikaelson. I'm the daughter of the Original Hybrid Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall. My life— it's pretty complicated. We recently had to move down to Beacon Hills. My old school, The Salvatore Boarding school was burned down. And a friend of ours told us about a school nearby called Beacon Hills High that would be good for us.
It's been a rough last couple of weeks. But I'm slowly pushing by. Well, at least I'm trying to. But today is our first day in school. And I'm not ready at all.
"Remember, no exposing your secrets."
Doctor Saltzman has been giving us a whole lecture for the past thirty minutes. While the rest of the students went to Mystic Falls High, Lizzie, Landon, Josie, and I decided to leave Mystic Falls and go to a school in California.
Lizzie rolls her eyes. "Okay, dad. We get it. We'll behave. Can we go now? We're going to be late."
"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead." Doctor Saltzman hugs us all goodbye, when he gets to me he holds on a little longer. "You sure you'll be okay? If you think about Lu—"
"Dad!" Lizzie scolds. "We promised not to say his name."
Alaric sighs. "Sorry..."
I force a smile. "It's okay, you guys can speak about him. I'm moving on... it's what he wanted me to do so I'm trying to."
Moving on is way harder than it seems. Things have been tough without Lucas. Whenever I was nervous he had always been there for me— but now, it's been too quiet. It's been lonely.
I feel a pair of eyes on me, I turn to face Landon who had been giving me a look.
Oh right, if you think I'm bad, Landon's been just as bad without Lucas. Imagine being gone for over a month only to find out some clay version of you took your life and then you find out that your best friend is dead.
As I said, things have been very difficult. The Super squad didn't feel so super anymore. It was so dull whenever we ran into one another.
I send a smile to Landon, he smiles back. After what felt like forever Doctor Saltzman lets us free. We walk inside the school, the halls were packed with students. It was a little overwhelming.
