Cause She's Bittersweet | ✓

[1] ✓

Elena wakes up to the feel of the sun on her face and the smell of bacon from downstairs. She couldn't wait to get back to school and organise events for it, be nominated again for class president and win best costume at the Halloween dance this Autumn. Although it might seem that Elena was a bit full of herself, she wasn't, she was just overconfident and very sure of herself.

Everything's going to be great, Elena thought to herself.

Elena recently broke up with Mason who was captain of the football team. Elena liked adventure, something fun and exciting. She liked a challenge and Mason was anything but that. He was too boring for her liking, and she couldn't see anything serious happening between them. Not that anything serious had happened between her and any boy.

"Hurry up Elena! Breakfast is ready!" Elena's mum calls from downstairs.

Elena descided to put on jean shorts and a white belly top. She added rose lipstick ever so gently to her lips, she never wore that much makeup as her olive skin was flawless. She brushes her naturally straight brown hair and sighs. Although she loved her hair, it was so plain. Elena had been thinking of getting blonde highlights in it or doing an ombre effect with it.

Before heading downstairs, Elena grabs her handbag and jean jacket.

Today is Stefan's fresh start, all about new beginnings and making friends.

At his old school things didn't work out so well for him. He got in fights a lot and hanged around with the wrong people. Eventually he got expelled, so his dad moved Stefan to Mystic Falls for a new start.

The Salvatore family had lived there for generations, but his dad left the musty old house, and just as boring town, for a new apartment in New York when his dad was twenty.

But now they're back.

Stefan puts  on his trainers and ran downstairs. "Bye!" Stefan called out to his dad, "I'm of to school!" He waves Stefan on and he gets into his car and drives away from the Salvatore house.

Elena arrives at school and sees Bonnie and Caroline. Immediately she runs over to them.

"Elena! Your here!" says Caroline excitedly.

Caroline was one of Elena's best friends. She's super organised and is similar to Elena in more ways than one. She and wavy blonde hair that seemed to shine in the sun and blue eyes that always had a glint of mischief in them.

"Welcome back!" Bonnie says, trying to mimic the head teacher. Caroline and Elena shared looks and laughed along with Bonnie.

Bonnie was Elena's other best friend. She was always one to make you laugh and was constantly hyper. After all the years Elena had known Bonnie, she had still not figured out the small, dark skinned girls eye colour. Some days they seemed green and other days they seemed like a dark grey colour.

Caroline was just talking about her trip to Spain when a red car pulled up. Elena had never known much about cars, but this one was beautiful.

Stefan jumps out of his baby – also known as a red 1963 Porsche 356B Karmann Coupe – wearing sunglasses, jeans and a designer shirt. He takes of his sunglasses revealing his deep green eyes. The car had been kept in his family for generations and was handed down to him from his father.

"Who's handsome over there?" Stefan hears a girl say, looking towards him. A couple of steps beside her, Stefan sees another girl looking at him straight in the eye. Her hair flows over her olive skin shoulders and her cheeks turn pink as she realises that he caught her staring. Maybe he'll find out her name later. Next to her was a blonde haired girl smiling flirtatiously at him.

He looked at me! But then again he also looked at Caroline, Elena thought dryly.

"I might go over there and say hi." Caroline smirks.

"Give him a chance to settle in first." Elena snaps. Elena didn't know why she was so annoyed. She barely knew the handsome stranger, plus she'd just broken up with Mason. She didn't like the guy, did she?

"Come on, Elena. You can't possibly want him too. You've already got Mason wrapped around your little finger and loads of other guys, and let's not forget the whole school!" says Caroline, twirling her hair with her finger, still staring at the boy.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Elena asks defensively.

Caroline doesn't say anything for a second or so. And then she replies with, "It means that I want this guy, keep your hands of him. It also means that maybe you should step down for a bit and let someone else take the throne."

Elena looks at Caroline shocked. Where had this all come from? Caroline couldn't mean what Elena thought she'd meant, could she?

"Seriously Elena, you can't rule the school forever." Caroline added.

So she did mean that. Wow, Elena thinks flabbergasted.

Elena was speechless. Caroline, her oldest friend wants to try to steal her place?

Well you know what? Elena thinks.

Bring. It. On.

If only she knew it wasn't that simple and that things were going to take a turn for the worst.
