I was walking through the school hallway, my books in my hands when I saw Bonnie, Caroline and Elena nearby. Caroline enthusiastically waved me at me and Bonnie gave me a big smile while Elena's face remained as it was. She still doesn't like me. I walked over to them and greeted them with a smile.

"You don't think you're a little too early for class?" Bonnie asked me.

"Yeah...but I don't have anything else to do," I replied, giving them a shrug.

"Then stay with us. We were just heading out to the cafeteria," Caroline suggested. Before I could say anything, Stefan stood beside me with a smile.
"Rose," He greeted me.

"Stefan." I nodded at him with a smile. Out of the corner of my eye, Elena was clenching her jaw slightly.

"So...Rose, are you coming or not?" Caroline asked me and I turned my head towards her.

"Uh...I don't wanna interrupt..." I mumbled out.

"Hey, you aren't interrupting. And as they say, the more, the better," Stefan added in and I nodded at them as Bonnie and Caroline smiled with Elena glaring at me all the while. She and I had gotten off the wrong foot regarding Stefan. The weird thing was that I had never seen Elena so possessive about him. Not with me, though. But this Elena was very different.

On the other hand, everyone was pretty much the same. I may not be a part of their family now, but I was their friend. Bonnie and Jeremy were the closest to me right now and so was Stefan. He was just being the usual same old Stefan who helped everyone. Caroline was the same too, she wasn't my Care-bear but I couldn't exactly form an unbreakable bond with them in two weeks, could I? With my spirit witch charm being out of the picture, making friends was harder than before.

Then there was Damon. He spent the entire first week trying to get me to sleep with him. He saw me as a challenge since I was the only one who wasn't drooling at the sight of him. Okay, that's a lie. Even after this time, I still can't get enough of him. He didn't know that I've been there and done that. We would have these staring contests sometimes when I would just stare at him and he'd meet my gaze, and we would remain like that for a while. It was so hard to see him drinking his heartbreak away every day at the grill. He loved Elena now, not me. I was just the mysterious girl who couldn't stop staring at him.

Speaking of the devil, Ethan still hadn't come back from New York, much to my relief. Noah and I were pretty close now, considering we only had each other. We talked all night about our lives and how it would've been if it weren't for Ethan. He told me why he hated his brother. Noah had run away from Ethan a long time ago to start a new life but Ethan had found him and killed his wife and all her family. She had a child and he was using it against Noah for bait. We were both united by our hate for Ethan. We'd tell each other about our friends and family. Sometimes we would be laughing, sometimes crying. We were both stuck in this endless loop of pain and loneliness, and the only people who could get us out were gone.
