The Vampire Diaries

For over a century, I have lived in secret...

...hiding in the shadows, alone in the world...

...until now.

I am a vampire...

...and this is my story.

An hour's drive to hear that crap.

You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar. An hour each way.

- He wasn't that bad. - He sounded like James Blunt.

What's wrong with that?

Already have a James Blunt. One's all we need.

- So why did you come? - Because I love you.

Nicely done.

- What's with the fog? - It'll clear in a sec.

Watch out!

- Are you okay? - We just hit someone. Oh, my God.

Call for help.

Come on, come on.

Please be alive.

Oh, my God.

There's no signal.

Darren?

Darren?

I shouldn't have come home.

I know the risk.

But I had no choice.

I have to know her.

Dear diary, today will be different.

It has to be.

I will smile, and it will be believable.

My smile will say:

"I'm fine, thank you.

Yes, I feel much better."

I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents.

I will start fresh, be someone new.

It's the only way I'll make it through.

Toast. I can make toast.

It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna.

Is there coffee?

Your first day of school, and I'm totally unprepared.

- Lunch money? - I'm okay.

Anything else? A Number 2 pencil?

What am I missing?

Don't you have a big presentation today?

I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at... Now.

- Crap. - Then go. We'll be fine.

You okay?

Don't start.

So Grams is telling me I'm psychic.

Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that.

I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it.

I'm like, "Put this woman in a home already."

But I start thinking, I predicted Obama, and I predicted Heath Ledger.

And I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands.

Elena, back in the car.

I did it again, didn't I? I'm sorry, Bonnie.

- You were telling me that... - That I'm psychic now.

Right, okay, then predict something about me.

I see...

What was that?

Oh, my God.

- Elena, are you okay? - It's okay. I'm fine.

It was a bird or something. It came out of nowhere.

Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life.

I predict this year is going to be kick-ass.

And I predict all the sad and dark times are over.

And you are going to be beyond happy.

Major lack of male real estate.

Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech.

She looks a hot... Can I still say "trannie mess"?

No, that's over.

Ugh. Find a man and coin a phrase. It's a busy year.

He hates me.

That's not hate. That's, "You dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it...

...but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits."

Elena. Oh, my God.

How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you.

How is she? Is she good?

Caroline, I'm right here.

And I'm fine, thank you.

- Really? - Yes, much better.

- Oh, you poor thing. - Okay, Caroline.

- Okay, see you guys later? - Okay, yeah.

Bye.

No comment. I'm not gonna say anything.

Don't take more than two in a six-hour window.

Hey, Vicki, I knew I'd find you here with the crackheads.

Hey.

- Pete Wentz wants his nail polish back. - Pete Wentz, huh?

How old-school TRL of you. Carson Daly fan?

Whoa, Ty, be nice. Be nice. That's Elena's little brother.

I know who he is. I'll still kick his ass.

Hold up. Who's this?

All I see is back.

It's a hot back.

Your records are incomplete.

You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts.

Please look again.

I'm sure everything you need is there.

Oh, you're right.

So it is.

I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar.

You're gonna run this psychic thing into the ground, huh?

- Pretty much. - Jeremy, good batch, man.

I'll be right back.

Please be hot.

Whoa! Next down, chick.

Great. It's the first day of school, and you're stoned.

- No, I'm not. - Where is it?

- Is it on you? - Stop. Chill yourself, all right?

Chill myself? What is that, stoner talk?

- Dude, you are so cool. - Look, stop.

- I don't have anything. Are you crazy? - You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy.

I gave you a summer pass.

But I am done watching you destroy yourself.

No, you know what? Go ahead, keep it up.

Just know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it?

Jeremy, I know who you are, and it's not this person.

So don't be this person.

I don't need this.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Uh... Pardon me.

Um...

Is this the men's room?

Yes. I was just...

I was just...

It's a long story.

Just...

Thank you.

Once our home state of Virginia joined Confederacy in 1861...

...it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state.

People in Virginia's Northwest had different ideas...

...from those of the traditional deep South.

And Virginia divided...

Dear diary, I made it through the day.

I must have said, "I'm fine, thanks," at least 37 times.

And I didn't mean it once.

But no one noticed.

When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer.

Okay. Hi, bird.

That's not creepy or anything.

Shoo!

That's what I thought.

You okay?

Were you following me?

No, I just... I saw you fall.

Uh-huh. And you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery.

I'm visiting. I have, uh, family here.

Oh.

Wow, tactless.

I'm sorry.

It's the fog. It's making me foggy.

Then back there, there was this bird.

And it was all very Hitchcock for a second.

That is the bird movie, right? The Hitchcock?

I'm Elena.

I'm Stefan.

I know. We have history together.

And English and French.

Right.

Thanks.

- Nice ring. - Oh.

Uh... It's a family ring. Yeah. Kind of stuck with it.

- It's weird, huh? - No.

It's just... I mean, there are rings, and then there's that.

- Did you hurt yourself? - Hmm?

- Did you hurt yourself? - Oh, uh...

I don't know.

Oh, would you look at that?

That is not pretty.

Are you okay?

You should go.

- Take care of that. - Really, it's nothing.

I lost control today.

Everything I've kept buried inside came rushing to the surface.

I am simply not able to resist her.

- Hey. - Working.

- Thanks, Vick. - Do you need another refill?

I'd love one.

Tell me you're not hooking up with my sister.

I'm not hooking up with your sister.

You're such a dick.

What's your deal?

Summer you act one way, school starts, and you can't be bothered.

I appreciate the pharmaceuticals...

...but you can't keep following like a lost puppy.

You had sex with a puppy?

Keep it down. I don't wanna tell the world I deflowered Elena's brother.

And deflowered and deflowered.

We hooked up a few times in a drug haze. It's over.

Back off before you ruin things between me and Tyler.

Come on, the guy's a total douche.

He only wants you for your ass.

Yeah? What do you want me for?

His name is Stefan Salvatore.

He lives with his uncle at the Salvatore boarding house.

He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family. They moved around a lot.

He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue.

You got all of that in one day?

I got all that between third and fourth period.

We're planning a June wedding.
