About one week after I had awoken, I thought I had finally gotten the 21st century. Caroline was my guide, showing me how to drive in my expensive convertible, using a cell phone, and telling me what I had done in school. Apparently, I was on the cheerleading squad and in the choir. It was finally decided that I could go back to school, but I was to stay with Caroline, Bonnie, Elena, or Stefan.

Elena and Caroline helped me pick out my outfit for school. I wore a white coated trimmed shirtdress and red heels. Elena was surprised I picked this out because I guess I wore a ton of black when I was a vampire. That is weird. In my childhood, and even until I was turned, I would always wear white.

The next day, I packed up all the things I would need for today. School bag? Check. Clothes for cheer practice? Check. I was ready to go. I opted not to ride with Stefan to school, and instead I went in my car. With the top down, and the music loud, I drove into the school parking lot. That was when I saw him, the blonde cute boy. I remembered him from when he came to the house, I guess he was my friend, but the way he was staring at me, it was safe to say he wanted to be a little more.

Pulling into a parking space, I spotted my brother and Elena walking towards my car. "Hey," Stefan called. "Hello, do you know what my first class is?" I asked him, he nodded. "Yeah, we all have history together, then you have science, math, and finally english." I started walking towards the entrance of the school with Elena and Stefan behind me. When I walked through the doors, everyone was staring at me. I was extremely timid, and I did not like attention. This was going to be a long day.

Cheerleading practice was on the school lawn? What a weird school. "5, 6, 7, 8!" Caroline shouted, wait, what am I supposed to do? Noticing I had no idea was was going on, the blonde vampire who was fighting with Caroline at the house the day I woke up started talking to me. "Hi, I'm Rebekah, Kol's sister." She said as she put her hand in front of me, I shook it. When I touched her, I felt a vibe go through my body as I was being pulled into a flashback.

I had just left Damon, who wanted, yet again, to go find Katherine. I felt horrible, of course I knew where she was, but I could not tell my brother she was not actually in the tomb. I promised Katherine I would not. So, I went to Chicago. I strutted into Gloria's on a mission. Find Stefan. I looked around me to find him no where to be seen, but I could smell blood. My brother, the ripper. "Liam! Have a drink Liam." I heard Stefan say. I rolled my eyes, and followed his voice to a booth in the back of the club. Liam had just gotten up to get his wife when I walked up to him, "Tormenting the locals I see." His eyes went wide. "Sydney? What are you doing here? I thought you were with Damon." He said quickly.

I heard the woman next to him try to get my attention by aheming me. She was exactly the opposite of what I thought Stefan liked in a girl. she was blonde, rude, and self absorbed. I looked at her, clearly annoyed. She smiled at me, but it was an evil smirk. "And who is this, Stefan?" She said, clearly sounding jealous. "I am his sister," I started, upstaging her. I placed my hand in front of her, "Sydney Salvatore...and you two are?" I had finally noticed a man sitting on the other side of the bench. He smiled at me, admiring my body. I rolled my eyes.

"Sister? Well, I am Rebekah and this is-" Rebekah got cut off by the man. "Niklaus, but you can call me Klaus." He said. I scoffed, "Well then, Niklaus, Rebekah it was a...pleasure to meet you, but can I steal my brother for a moment?" They nodded, understanding that I needed to catch up with my brother.

It only took one second, but I had remembered something. I smiled, "I am sorry to say that Kol did not really talk about you, he did not speak about his family, but you seem like an amazing girl." I could tell she was happy that I now "met" her. "Hey! No talking! Sydney, you are gonna be flyer for this stunt okay?" Caroline said. I nodded, hoping that I knew what I was doing.

I went up in the stunt, and thankfully, I stayed there for a few seconds. I saw the boy in the parking lot staring at me. I could hear one of the bases struggle, she was a freshman with no cheerleading experience before. I started to fall, and some girls tried to get to me before I hit the ground, but I felt a pair of capable arms stop my fall.

I opened my eyes to see the blonde haired boy holding me. His beautiful blue eyes bore into mine. "You better be more careful, you could get hurt." He said. "Thank you," I replied shyly. He put me on my feet and introduced himself. "I'm Matt, we umm we were-are friends. Sorry, I just- it's a little bit weird." I smiled, he was cute. I laughed, and seeing my amusement, so did he. I heard Rebekah calling me, so I said goodbye to Matt. He will always be there to break you're fall. My head told me.

I drove home from school after practice, and saw that no one else was home except for Elena. Her head popped up from her book, and she smiled at me. "How was your first day?" She asked. "It was good, but it feels like deja vu for some reason." I said. "Well, your first day of school was only a few weeks ago, and it was a bit more graceful than it was today." Elena answered. I sat down next to her on the couch next to the fireplace.

"What was I like, as a vampire I mean?" I said. Elena glanced at me, not sure of what she should say. "You were confident, strong, and very protective. Whenever someone had a problem, you were the one to fix it, and you understood everyone on a level that I still do not understand. You were loved by everyone around you, and you were very protective of your brothers. You loved blindly and recklessly, even if it consumed you." Elena explained.

"Everyone think they will be this great, merciful vampire, but I do not think I was." I said sadly. "You were the greatest vampire I have ever known. You never drank human blood, and you never killed humans. Believe it or not, Stefan told me that you were the one to invent the animal diet. You didn't want to kill people, so you didn't. Damon said that you never judged anyone, and you had an amazing control that no other vampire ever did. You are the vampire everyone wants to be."

I blushed, no one had ever talked of me that highly before. Stefan was right, Elena was no Katherine. Katherine killed anyone that got in her way, but I knew that Elena never wanted to kill a single person. Elena was not capable of that kind of evil. Do not get me wrong, Katherine is my best friend, but even she knows that Elena's compassion is a gift, and that she would never have that.
