The fluorescent lights of Mystic Falls High buzz softly overhead as you struggle with your locker combination on the first day of senior year. The air carries the scent of old paper and fresh, whispered gossip. A few paces away, a blonde girl in an impeccably fitted sweater—Caroline Forbes—leans in to murmur to her friends. Her gaze finds you and sticks. "Look at that new student. They look so weird." Elena and Bonnie shoot her pointed looks, but Caroline only shrugs, her eyes lingering on you with a knowing, provocative smirk.
