alejandro's pov

it's been almost 100 years since i've been forced to leave mystic falls, my hometown. 100 years should be enough, it should be fine for me to come back now. i've been able to control my hunger better, human blood isn't for me anymore— i've learned to adapt to animal blood. which is why i think i'm ready to come back to Mystic Falls.

and that's when i saw her. there's no way it's her.. could it be? after all these years i finally found her.. but it's too good to be true. why now? why wait 100 years?

i watch as she walks into the high school. her. school? they don't mix. somethings not adding up. but i want to see if it's actually her, i guess i'm gonna have to go to school for a day huh? then so be it. i didn't wait this long just to be defeated by school. only the thing is.. i haven't been to school for 100 years.

"hi i'm a new student, alejandro salvatore," i tell the principal.

"your transcript please?" she asks, holding out her hand for it. i hand it to her. she eyes immediately widen. "Mr. Salvatore, it says here the last time you were enrolled into school was 1920.. that's not possible. you'd have to be like 100 years old."

im 117 years old actually. here's the thing, i'm a vampire right ? they have their perks.

i look deep into her eyes. "oh i can assure, it's more than possible. you will let me attend this school."

she immediately relaxes her face and nods. "it's more than possible. i will let you attend this school," she repeats.

"that's right," i smile. compulsion, an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way, especially against one's conscious wishes. it was one my favorite things along with speed, super hearing, and super strength.

"well, here's your new schedule mr. salvatore. welcome to mystic falls high school." she hands me the paper.

you mean welcome back to mystic falls high school. "thank you."

time to find her.

i make way through the halls and search for her. wow, this place really has changed.

she was nowhere to be seen. until someone accidentally walks out of the restroom and bumps into me.

Skylar's Pov

i'm fine, i tell myself. i will no longer be that sad girl who lost her parents. i will tell people that i'm okay. i'm over it.  it's a new start, a fresh one. this year is going to be my year.

"skylar," my aunt stella yells from downstairs. "you're gonna be late on your first day school."

"coming," i shout back.

i look myself in the mirror one last time. you got this.

i head downstairs and make my way to the kitchen.

"you're gonna make us late," my younger brother Connor tells me.

i roll my eyes and ignore him.

"okay so i have your lunch money," stella says handing us both $10, "you got your backpacks.. anything else i'm forgetting? i'm not good at this parenting thing."

stella was my mom's sister. she took us in when my parents died, i'm more than grateful for her. i was just worried about Connor. over summer he kept getting high and drunk everyday but he promised he'd stop when school started.

"you're fine stella," i assure her.

i grab my car keys from the counter and say bye to her.

school

"skylar!" my friend Trinity says hugging me. "do we have any classes together?"

"wait for me you guys," our other friend chloe says walking up to us.

"the trio is back," i smile. 

we compared classes and found out we have the first class together.

"oh by the way," chloe says, "i saw the cutest boy in the office earlier. i've never seen him around here before— i think he's new."

i swear i was listening to everything chloe was saying but my mind wandered elsewhere when i saw connor act all weird and then go into the boy's restroom.

"excuse me for a bit," i say to chloe and trinity.

i walk into the boy's restroom.

"connor," i shout.

"woah, what are you doing in here? this is the boys restroom," connor says weirded out.

"are seriously stoned right now?" i say. "you promised me you'd stop."

"you're not the only one who lost mom and dad," he snapped. "at least i don't pretend i'm okay and practice acting normal in my room."

i sigh. "connor.."

"no just leave me alone skylar. you're not mom. you can't tell me what to do." he stomps out of the restroom.

well that went well.

i walk out of the restroom quickly to run after him but then i accidentally bumped into someone. and that's when i saw him.

i know it's really slow and boring right now but just wait :)
