Elena: Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile was saying "I'm fine, thank you." "Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, and be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through.

Elena makes her way Into the kitchen where Aunt Jenna is freaking out.

Jenna: Toast. I can make toast.

Elena: It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna.

Jeremy: Is there coffee?

Jenna: Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared. Lunch money?

Elena: I'm good.

Jenna: Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?

Elena: Don't you have a big presentation today?

Jenna: I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap!

Elena: Then go. We'll be fine. Are you ok?

Jeremy: Don't start.

Elena goes outside and her best friend Bonnie is waiting in her car. Elena gets in and they head off to school.

Bonnie: So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, which isn't all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama, and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands... Elena! Back in the car.

Elena: I did it again, didn't I? I--I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that...

Bonnie: That I'm psychic now.

Elena: Right. Ok, then predict something. About me.

Bonnie: I see...

A black bird collides with the window.

Bonnie: What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you ok?

Elena: It's ok. I'm fine.

Bonnie: It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere.

Elena: Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life.

Bonnie: I predict this year is going to be kick-ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy.

At the school.

Bonnie: Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly bitch. She looks hot-- Can I still say, "tranny mess"?

Elena: No, that's over.

Bonnie: Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year.

They look at Matt.

Elena: He hates me.

Bonnie: That's not hate. That's "You dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits."

Caroline walks up to the two of them.

Caroline: Elena. Oh, my god. How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you. How is she? Is she good?

Elena: Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you.

Caroline: Really?

Elena: Yes. Much better.

Caroline: Oh, you poor thing.

Elena: OK, Caroline.

Caroline: Oh! OK, see you guys later.

Bonnie: Ok! Bye.

Elena: No comment.

Bonnie: I'm not going to say anything.

Bonnie and Elena walk to class, but Bonnie stops them at the office.

Bonnie: Hold up. Who's this?

Elena: All I see is back.

Bonnie: It's a hot back.

Bonnie: I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar.

Elena: You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?

Bonnie: Pretty much.

Random Student: Jeremy, good batch, man.

Elena: I'll be right back.

Elena leaves to confront Jeremy, Bonnie still watching the student in the office.

Bonnie: Please be hot.

Y/N: Who are we hoping is hot?

Bonnie spooked turns around and looks at who scared her, and sees a incredibly handsome guy.

Bonnie: yu... yu.. you.
