Stefanie's POV
The first hours in school flew by. Now I am with Thea in the cafeteria trying to find an empty table. Then out of nowhere I saw a table and Elijah sitting in it. He had some food in his tray. When he saw us coming near the table he greeted us.
- Hey, Stefanie, Thea, come here!!
- Hi, Elijah,-I said walking towards the table. Me and Thea sat there with our trays.
-Hello Elijah!-Thea greeted him.
- How was your day, Elijah?
- It was very good actually, we had english, history and math. What about you?
- Yeah, mine too. we had history, geography and german.
- Cool,- he said, eating.
- So...tell me about you,-Elijah asked me.
I was kind of shocked by his question, but I answered him immediately.
- Um...well I was born here in Mystic Falls. My parents got married two years after my uncle's Stefan's death.- I said looking at Elijah and Thea. Then, four months later...I was born!
- Oh, Stefanie, I'm sorry about your uncle!- Thea said.
- Yeah, I'm so sorry Stefanie!- Elijah said.
- Well...I'm used to it. Actually I didn't knew him. I know that he was a good and a kind person and everybody loved him. And that he and my father had an unshakeable bond between them. He and my mother were so sad when Stefan died. I know that my mother used to date him when they were in high school!
All three of us laughed.
- My mother is Elena Gilbert. She is a doctor and works in the Mystic Falls Hospital. My Father is Damon Salvatore. He is a police officer. They both really love me and care about me. I am an only child actually.
- Oh really?- Elijah said.
- Yes.
- So... enough about me! Tell me about you, Elijah.
- Ok, so...I am an only child too actually. And...my parents... are dead. I lived in New Orleans, till I decided to come here to Mystic Falls, this is the town that I was born, after all. In New Orleans I worked as a waiter, but now I decided to come here for a new beggining.
- Oh...Elijah!- I said.- I'm sorry!
- Me too!- Thea said with a sad face.
- Yes, well that is long gone, and as Stefanie said, I'm used to it.
- Well...that was interesting!- I said.
- Thea...what about you?
- Okay, my turn. My mother is Meredith Fell and is a doctor in the Mystic Falls Hospital too. She works with Stefanie's mom. Then is my father. Matthew Maxwell, or Donovan. A long time ago, about 20 years ago he discovered that he came from an ancient founding family. His father told him that. Since then, everybody knows him as sheriff Maxwell. And he works with Stefanie's father too.
- Interesting!- Elijah said.
- Yeah!- I said.
- I have a younger brother, Eric. He is 12 years old.
- Cool!-I said.
We continued eating what was left of our food and then we heard the bell ringing.
- Ok, so see you Stefanie and Thea, bye!
- Yeah, bye!
Elijah's POV
I know that was a mistake lying to Stefanie and I know I shouldn't have done that. But what to tell her? That I had Rebekah, a thousand years old vampire and engaged with Marcel? Freya, a witch a thousand years old and married to Keelin, a werewolf and have a boy called Niklaus? That I have a bastard and a cruel brother, Niklaus an original hybrid and a 14 years old niece called Hope and was a tribrid? That I had Kol, a thousand years old and married to a witch, Davina? Or that I was an Original Vampire, 1000 years old and that I came to Mystic Falls because I couldn't bear the loss of the love of my life, and that needed to move on? And that all of us are The Originals-the most ancient vampires in history?
No...of course not. If her parents would tell her about our world, then it would be much easier for me to tell her about my life. But apparently, they haven't...yet. So I have to lie about my past longer, if I want to be Stefanie's friend, which I do.
