Lana POV
Starting at a new school is intimidating. It's my first day being a junior at Mystic Falls High school. Having to move mid way during school is always hard. My parents were deep in the supernatural world but their obsession is what got them killed. I noticed something was wrong when they didn't show up for the last game of the season. The police pulled me to the side and told me an "animal attack" killed my parents. Instead of celebrating a victory, I had to plan a funeral for my parents. Moving to Mystic Falls with my uncle Max during the summer was easy. Max was my mother's younger brother, now my legal guardian. . It gave me a couple months to get used to my surroundings. Max is always out, more like a brother-sister kind of thing so we just always check up on each other.
Finally getting out of bed I go into the restroom and do my whole morning routine. I went with light makeup today and a simple outfit. I got low-rise jeans and a long-sleeved crop top. I pull out my clogs and warm fuzzy socks. I straighten my hair and check myself out in the mirror. " I got this, we got this, got this." I get an apple and my bookbag and head outside to my car. Last year before everything happened I was given a mustang, which has been my baby. The good thing about Mystic Falls is its beautiful scenery during this time. The leaves falling, the wind.
Getting to school and parking next to a red Volkswagen. I look at it , "Someone has good taste in vintage cars." I say getting out of my car, reaching for my bookbag. I start walking towards the school and trying to find the school office. I walk towards a couple, a girl with brown hair and the guy next to her who is very pale and a sharp jawline. " Hey, sorry to interrupt. Could you tell me where the school office is?"
"You must be the new girl? I'm Elena!" She says with a big smile. " Hey, I am Stefan." the guy says relaxing his jawline. " Lana." I say introduce myself. Elena grabs my hand and leads me to where the office would be at. Stefan quickly followed behind. This school is a lot bigger than it looks, finally getting to the school office Elena walks to the lady at the desk. " Mrs. Miller, this is Lana. She is a new student and needs her schedule." The lady looks up from her desk and raises an eyebrow. " Here is your schedule, Elena now that you're with her, you'll be her guide today." I get the paper she hands over and I feel Elena next to me. " History for the first period, can't be that bad," I say. "You have the same schedule as us," Stefan says. " I'm so excited for you to meet everyone," Elena squeals.

Finally getting to class there is only one open seat next to Elena and Stefan. There is no teacher to be found, which I am guessing is a regular thing because no one is stressing it. A teacher walks in rushing to his desk with a bag and a coffee in his hand. " Good morning class. Please come to the front and get the worksheet at the front." " Alaric.. I mean Mr. Saltzman, we have a new student." I turn to Elena with my face turning red. "Chaotic morning, Please stand up new student and introduce yourself." Can this not get anymore embarrassing. " I am Lana Martinez, I lived in Georgia but I moved here." I say fidgeting with my fingers. "Well, welcome to Mystic Falls Lana. Today's class should be a breeze, I just want everyone to do a quick easy about an event in history. This will be due by the end of the week." An essay already? I also wonder why Elena calls Mr. Saltzman by his first name, they must know each other.

The rest of the day goes by and it makes it a little easier with Elena and Stefan being there. I also met Elena's little brother, who is totally hot but clearly in love with Bonnie who is amazing. Then Caroline who told me I have to go to the dance she is running here at the school. Everyone seemed nice and were very welcoming. I got invited to the study session at Stefan's house, so everyone focuses on their essay. Caroline warned him about Stefan's brother. Apparently, he is a walking red flag.
I walk out to the student parking lot and head towards my car. I see Stefan by his car, opening up his car door. " So, you are the one with the nice vintage car taste." he looks up from unlocking his car door. "It is one of my many hobbies." He says with a slight smile. " So this is your car?" He says checking out my mustang. "It was a gift from my parents, having a vintage mustang isn't ideal." We both laugh and Elena walks over to Stefans side. "No more car talk guys and let's head out. See you in a while Lana" I wave to them and get into my car and turn on my car. I get my phone to text my Uncle Max.
Me: I have an essay and I'm going to a friend's house to study.
Uncle Max: Ok, don't come home late. Please make sure you have dinner of some sort.
Me: Aw, you do care for me.
Uncle Max: Shut up. Be safe.
I hear a knock on my window. I look up out the window and see a guy. Good looking guy at that with a leather jacket. All black outfit. He seems familiar but I can't tell. I roll down my window and look confused. "Can I help you with something?" I say
" I'm Damon Salvatore."
