A touch of blood

Chapter one Mystic falls

Finally a fresh start, I start unpacking my bags in my new rather small apartment. I've been living on my own for the past 6 months in the town I've grown up in. But ever since my parents died in the fire everyone treats me like a weak lost girl. I got sick of it and decided to move. I have no other known family since I was adopted. Ever since they died I've been living alone off there life insurance. Honestly I am completely lost without my family but I've got to move on or I really am going to turn into that weak lost girl everyone see's me as. My name is briar woods. I have blonde hair , green eyes, freckles, I'm 5,7 and I'm skinny / curvy.
Okay first day of school. I'll just try to blend in and not get noticed. I can do that. I hop in my rather small shower and wash my hair. I get out and put a minimal amount of makeup on and go to my closet to pick out what to wear. All my clothes are black. Of course. I'll have to go shopping sometime this week. New town, new me, new style? I grab black jeans, a black belt and a black t-shirt. Hmm perfect I guess I murmur under my breath. I curl my hair, spritz some perfume on and head out the door. I live only a few blocks away from the mystic falls high school so I just walk. What's the point in driving when it's that close. It's only September too so it's not that cold out. As I'm walking into the front doors I over hear a conversation. Two girls, one with brown hair and the other girl has blonde. "Elena I just want to make sure you are okay." "I am okay Caroline, it's been months now since my parents passed away I will be fine I promise." "Okay just please tell me if you need anything from me." "I know I know care, I'm more worried about Jeremy though, he's been hanging out with the druggie kids lately." Elena said.
I walked into the school, I didn't want to over hear all their problems. But it seems like Elena and I are in the same boat, our parents both passed away recently. But it seems like she has other family and friends who take care of her so I guess we aren't that similar. I head to my first class of the day English, as I'm walking their I see a guy in the office, he is tall with brown hair and piercing greeny grey eyes. There's something off about it but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I shake that thought out of my head and just continue on my way to class. I sit down in the front row and a girl with dark brown curly hair sits down beside me.
"Hi I'm Bonnie. I haven't seen you here before, are you knew?" She says
"Hi, yes I am new, my name is briar." I say and smile.
Bonnie reaches out her hand to Shake mine and I shaker hers.
Her face goes blank and she looks me in the eyes and says "I'm so sorry for your loss."
"What?" I say in shock, does she mean my parents how would she know??
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what that was, I'm sorry." She says pulling her hand away looking embarrassed.
"It's okay, I just don't know how you knew." I said.
"Your parents died didn't they." She says with a straight face.
"Yes they did, how did you know?" I asked in shock.
"I don't know, I just knew." She said back confused.
"Okay class lets get started." the teacher said
"I'll talk to you after class." Bonnie said while she got her binder out.
After class Bonnie and I walked through the hallways together and talked about everything that happened with me the last year. I felt like I could trust her even though I've known her for what an hour? I've never felt this kind of trust with anyone. I could tell she was a good person.
We walked outside continuing to talk when the two girls I saw this morning walked up to us.
"Omg Bonnie did you see that totally hot new guy?" Caroline squealed
Elena just stood there laughing and smiling.
"Oh hey, so sorry I didn't even see you there, I'm Caroline and this is Elena." Caroline said while gesturing to Elena.
"Hi, I'm briar." I said back smiling
We talked and they asked if I was new and how I knew Bonnie and what not and we all bonded pretty quickly. Which I am glad. I never have had real friends before. I hope that this fresh start will be good.
