Love Sucks | The Vampire Diaries

The First Day

*Third Person's P.O.V.*

        Her eyes fluttered open as the all-too-familiar sound was heard from her phone. Grunting quietly, not wanting to get up yet, she turned to lay on her back and blindly searched for her phone on the nightstand with her hand. After a few seconds, she felt the cool texture beneath her fingers and quickly grabbed the phone, bringing it in front of her face and squinting as the bright light irritated her sleepy eyes. She quickly clicked the 'OK' icon, and threw her phone back onto the nightstand before turning on her side and covering herself with the quilt again.
        "Anna! Are you up?!" there was a knock on the door of her bedroom, and she sat up tiredly, sighing in irritation.
        "Yeah!" she called back to her sister, trying not to let the annoyance she felt show in her voice. She then grudgingly threw the covers off of her slim form, hissing in irritation as the cool air hit her bare legs. She quickly grabbed a random hair tie from her vanity, and threw her dark hair up in a messy bun before walking into the bathroom that she shares with her aunt and closing the door behind her. She then quickly stripped her pajamas, and jumped into the shower. As soon as the hot water hit her skin, she felt her muscles relax and she sighed in contentment, before quickly grabbing her sponge and pouring her favorite rose-scented body wash onto it. She quickly but thoroughly washed her body, before stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around herself.
        After stepping out of the bathroom, she quickly dried herself off before putting on the clothes she chose for the day. She then made the bed, before doing a simple hairstyle and putting the towel back in the bathroom. After quickly checking if she had everything she needed, she grabbed her school bag and slung it over her shoulder before leaving her room and heading downstairs.
        "Toast," she heard a female voice coming from the kitchen. "I can make toast,"
        "It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna," she said as she walked into the kitchen, seeing her aunt standing in front of the open refrigerator, and her sister sitting at the table. She then put her bag on the chair next to Elena's, before walking over to the coffee machine and pouring herself some coffee.
        "Is there coffee?" Jeremy asked, walking into the kitchen, and she nodded, holding up the mug.
        "Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared," Jenna stressed as Jeremy walked over to Annabelle, holding his hand out, making her sigh with a small smile before handing him the already filled cup, since she knew he would want coffee. He gave her a small smile in thanks, and she ruffled his hair slightly before grabbing a cup for herself and walking over to stand behind Elena, "Lunch money?" Jenna asked, walking over to stand in front of the three teenagers, holding some money in her hand.
        "I'm good," Annabelle shook her head.
        "So am I," Elena said, while Jeremy quickly snatched all the money from her hand, making Annabelle sigh quietly, since she was 99% sure that he won't spend that money on lunch.
        "Anything else?" Jenna asked, "A number two pencil?" she joked, packing her things into her bag before looking up. "What am I missing?"
        "Don't you have a big presentation today?" Annabelle asked with furrowed eyebrows, remembering what her aunt told her the day before.
        "I'm meeting with my thesis adviser at..." Jenna trailed off as she looked at the watch on her wrist, before throwing her hands up in frustration, "Now. Crap," she said as she quickly pulled her strawberry blonde hair out of her messy bun, letting it fall loosely on her shoulders.
        "Then go," Annabelle said, and Jenna looked at her, slightly worried, "We'll be fine," the teenage girl added, seeing the hesitation in her aunt's eyes, and Jenna sighed before giving her a thankful smile and rushing out of the house.
        "You okay?" Elena asked, looking at Jeremy, concerned, making him scoff quietly.
        "Don't start," he said, still holding the cup of coffee Annabelle made him, before giving his other sister a nod and also leaving.
        Annabelle let out a sigh as she watched the door for a few seconds, before looking at her twin sister, who was frowning.
        "Give him some time, Elena," Annabelle said and Elena sighed, but nodded nonetheless. Annabelle gave her a small smile, before grabbing her bag, "Now, come on. Bonnie's going to be here..." she trailed off as they heard a honk from outside, "Now, apparently," she finished, and Elena gave a small chuckle before getting up and grabbing her things.
