Aspen has been friends with Damon since she was 11. When she learns he moved back to Mystic Falls, she pays him a surprise visit. She doesn't plan to stay long, but that changes when she's wrapped up in the supernatural drama and catches the eyes of...
I wake up at 5:00 and get dressed in athletics clothes. I jog downstairs, filling up my water bottle before going into a room Damon and Stefan set up to be like a gym. I mainly practice boxing, but I also do some lifting and vamp-hunting training.
After my workout, I head upstairs to my room, shower, and get changed into a brown waistcoat, blue jeans, and an unbuttoned lightweight white button up over shirt. I grab my bag and go downstairs, slipping on my socks and converse.

"Hey, no-humanity Stef! I'm taking Caroline and Elena to school! Wanna ride," I yell to him.
"No I'll go on my own," he responds, jogging down the stairs while combing a hand through his hair.
"Okay, see ya later, humanity-less alligator." I walk out to my car and hop in, grabbing my sunglasses from their compartment, putting them on and cranking music.
I go to pick up Care first, then Elena. I give my phone to Caroline, who's in the passenger seat, to pick a song. Suddenly, Fergalicious comes on and Caroline and I immediately start jamming out.
I see Elena roll her eyes but I ignore her and sing with Caroline.
"To the D to the E to the, to the, to the- Hit it Fergie! All the time I turn around brothas gather round Always looking at me up and down looking at my uh- I just wanna say it now, I ain't tryin' round up drama, little mama, I don't wanna take your man!"
Caroline and I continue singing but turn down the music slightly as I pull into the school parking lot. I pause the music and put my sunglasses on top of my head as they step out and grab their bags. I open my door, walk around the front of the car to Caroline and give her a hug.
"Have a good day, don't be too grumpy. I appreciate you," I tell her.
"Thank you, Pen. I'm so happy I met you," she responds.
"I'm happy we've gotten so close. Now go find Bonnie and say hello for me." She nods and turns around, walking further towards the school.
I look around and notice quite a few eyes on me. I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around to see Jeremy. "Hey, how are you? I haven't seen you around much," he inquires.
"I'm alright," I smile, "happy to have some good friends."
He nods and looks away quickly before looking back at me. "Look I wanted to thank you for comforting me while we were trapped and they tried to stop the ritual. I know you probably didn't think much of it, but thank you. Also, you look pretty today," he compliments.
I smile and spin around jokingly. "Thank you. Your hair looks a little messy," I say, reaching up for his hair, messing it up more. "There. It's even messier." He smiles and laughs and we say our goodbyes.
I'm able to get in my car without being interrupted again. I slide back on my sunglasses, play Crazy In Love by Beyoncé, and back out of the parking lot.
