TOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED BY the time I wake up this morning to feel any sort of emotion close to the likes of peace and carefree. As much as I wish I can remain in the confines of my bed, I know it isn't a possibility lest I risk the wrath of Neera Varma. Today, I have no choice but to go to school and stay there. Anything else has to come afterwards.

By the time I had come straight home from the Boarding House, she had been awake and in the process of fixing dinner for the night. There wasn't much conversation between us but it is safe to say she wasn't pleased that I left when I had taken the day off under the pretext of being unwell. Stating it was an emergency wasn't going to get me anywhere so I had just left it at having gone on a drive. That didn't go down very well either but oh well.

You cannot have everything in life, as unfortunate as that may be.

The moment I managed to escape to my room, I dropped a text to Stefan to let him know of Vicki's predicament, adding on Damon's so-called warning as an after-thought. While the reply hadn't been instantaneous, it seemed he had already been aware. Much later on into the night, there was another message to simply state that Vicki has completed the transition into a fully-fledged vampire. Even later, one more that Elena has called things off.

Wow, vampirism really does tear romance to shreds.

In the span of two nights, too much has changed much too quickly for me to be able to process it properly. In fact, it only seems to be worsening in magnitude. If I'm already feeling so mentally exhausted in such little time, I don't know how I can deal with this knowledge for the rest of my life.

Carrying out my daily routine is much more tedious than usual. All that runs through my mind is how unimportant high school is in the grand scheme of things. Alright, maybe that isn't entirely true but right about now, that is what it feels like.

Someone my friend is currently dating, someone I myself am very well-acquainted with, has been turned into a vampire and I'm to while away my time with the cosine rule? I don't know, it seems pretty callous to me.

"Ma, I'm leaving!" I yell as I open the front door, not waiting to hear a response before I shut it behind me. Based on how things ended last night, I still have half a lecture due and I'm not the mood for it so early in the morning. Plus, I want to walk today and that in itself means I need to be leaving before my usual time anyway.
