I'm sitting next to Elena in Alaric class room waiting to find out on what he wants to talk us about."I made a copy of a paper that Jeremy wrote for me,I think you should take a look at it "Alaric says passing us the paper and I have look at it to say,"Fact or True : The truth about Vampires in Mystic Falls" before Elena says,"Jeremy wrote this?" then Alaric says,"he was very clear that he didn't think it was real"."I really hope you're right because we've have done so much to protect him from all this"Elena says as she pass the paper back to Alaric,"so how do you deal with it?"he asked us,"what do you mean?"Elena,I asked him."With all the lies and secrets"he says before continuing,"you have to lie to everyone who's important to you"."It's not safe for them to know the truth"Elena says,"we're just trying to keep them safe from all the danger "I say looking at him."So,yes we keep it from them,but it's only because we love them"Elena says looking at him then he nods agreeing with us ,"I think Stefan's a good guy but at the end of the day he's still a vampire "Alaric says looking at us ."I know it's hard to understand but Stefan's different,he would never do anything to hurt me or Selena "Elena says.
