Caroline took her 图书 she needed for the 下一个 few classes and closed her locker. Elena leaned against the lockers and looked at her. She saw the red underneath Caroline’s eyes. “Hey, have 你 been crying?”
Caroline shook her head. “No” she 说 with a small voice. She swallowed and forced a smile. She sighed and looked at her friend. “No” she repeated a little steadier. “I saw Tyler at the Grill today”
“Oh” Elena blinked. “And how was he? Did he tell 你 what happened?”
Caroline shook her head again. “Not exactly. He…said it’s none of my business what he does 或者 where he goes” she 说 trying to sound casual. Then she burst into tears. “I’m sorry, it’s just…He was so mean. It wasn’t like him. I know he can be a jerk, but he’s never like that with me. And after the summer I thought we’d grown closer” she sobbed.
Elena threw her arm around Caroline’s shoulder and pulled her closer. “Hey, hey, hey, 你 have nothing to be sorry about. Tyler does” she tried to comfort her friend.
“What did Tyler do?” Matt asked, attracted 由 Caroline’s sadness. Elena shot him a ‘not now, Matt’ glance and Matt nodded in understanding.
“Let’s get to our class” Elena suggested and she pulled Caroline along, Matt following them.

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up 由 the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting 下一个 to her. He looked familiar. As she tried to recall she felt an insistent pain in her neck. She lay her hand on it, to see what it was. “I bit you, that’s why you’re in pain” Stefan explained. Amber looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked, crawling backwards. Stefan reached out his hand. “I’m here to help you” he 说 softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she 说 terrified. Stefan didn’t 移动 an inch. “You need help. You’re in transition, it’s not a nice feeling if 你 don’t feed anytime soon. I bet you’re starving” he said. Amber shook her head heavily as her stomach rattled. “I’m going home” she 说 with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
