Hardin Salvatore has always been the reckless one, the troublemaker, the one who fucks everything up. Even though he won't agree, but all he has ever craved for, is to belong with his brothers : Damon Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore, the ultimate duo...
I look up at the Salvatore Boarding House in awe. It's majestic and probably the biggest house in Mystic Falls. And the most beautiful one too. Good! While Elena makes out with Stefan, I can roam in this beautiful vintage house.
Elena and I walk up to the huge front door but there's no door bell. Too archaic to have a bell? It's creepy if you ask me.
"You girls looking for somebody?" A heavily accented male voice startles us and I nearly jump.
We both turn to look at a ridiculously hot guy washing a car, a water pipe in his hand.
He's shirtless.

"Damn, hottie alert." I whisper loud enough for Elena to hear. I can picture her rolling her eyes at me. I'm so busy watching the mystery shirtless dude. His wet skin is glistening in the sun. How come we didn't encountered him before? Maybe because he's on the other side of the driveway. I can't make out his features from here but I can tell he's smirking.
Gosh, men who smirk...
"Listen, I gotta go in. You stay here." Elena tells breaking my stare. I turn to look at her frowning.
"You dragged my ass here and now you won't let me go in? Fine, give my regards to Uncle Stefan." I smile mocking at her. Elena gives me a look and pushes the door and gets in.
I'd rather stay here and talk to that hot shirtless boy. Emma 1, Elena 0.
As I turn back, I'm face to face with the most beautiful boy I've ever seen. I'm looking into dark green amused looking eyes. He towers over me. Well everyone is taller than me, but trust me he's very tall. Taller than Stefan. Must be 6 something, to be sure.
"Hey." I smile. God how am I looking? Am I looking my glorious self?
He smirks at me. A hint of dimples appear over his cheeks. "I'm Hardin. I guess you know my brother, Stefan." He says in that deep accented voice of his.
"You're Stefan's brother! Oh. I mean, he never told us anything about you, Hardin." I say. His name sounds so foreign. It's hot.
"Yes, I just got here. And he doesn't like me much." He shrugs. I smile at him. I wish he covered his muscled body. I'm enjoying the scene but it's distracting.
"You are-" He trails off.
"Emma Rivers. Your brother's girlfriend's cousin." I grin.
"That girl with you, she's Elena?" He inquires. I reply in affirmative and he looks puzzled. I notice he has got small tattoos over both of his arms.
"So, you're younger to Stefan?" I ask him. "Yes. I am." He looks amused. I can't read his thoughts.
"So you're gonna start high school here?" I ask like a nosy ten year old. Damn my curiosity.
