Chapter 1:

Have you ever had to hide something that you rather tell the whole world? Have you ever just wanted to scream to the top of your lungs because of a certain problem? If you have, then you kinda have felt the pain that my friends and I have went through. Your story can't be as bad as ours. I'm Elena Gilbert and I'm going to tell you about our story.

First off there's me, Elena Gilbert; most popular girl of the West High Knights, Captain of the dance team and girls basketball team and one of the most richest students to go to West High. Next is my twin sister, Cassie Gilbert. Like me she's the second most popular girl at West High. She's co-captain of the dance team and Captain of the girls track team. Our mum, Jenna Gilbert, is the CEO of a law company and our dad, Alaric Gilbert, is the CEO of a business. Then there's our best friend Bonnie Bennett. Bonnie is the third most popular girl at the school. She's the co-captain of the volleyball team and she's on the dance team with my sister and I. She is also one of the richest kids with her parents as the top doctors in the city. Then there's my god-brother Klaus Mikaelson. He is of course the most popular boy at West High, seeing as he is the captain of the basketball team and he is one of the best cooks I've ever met. He is another one of the rich kids seeing as his dad is a partner with mine in their business. Next is Matt Donovan, the second most popular guy at West High. He is the co- captain of the basketball team and an awesome photographer.

Next on my little list is the East High kids. I know what you're thinking. WHAT! West High and East High don't mix, but just hang in with me. It's all apart of the story. Stefan Salvatore is the most popular boy of East High, captain of the basketball and golf team. He's the richest kid there because his father is the CEO of a business, just like my father. Next is Damon Smith, second most popular boy of East High. He's the co-captain of the basketball team and the captain of the baseball team. Damon's father is partners with Stefan's for their big business. Next are the Forbes twins; Tyler and Caroline. Tyler is the third most popular boy being the captain of the track team and the co-captain of the baseball team. Caroline is the captain of the girl's volleyball and dance team. Their parents both own one of the best resorts in New Mexico. Lastly is Meredith Fell. She's the co-captain of the volleyball and dance team with Caroline. She's also one of the best composers ever. Her parents both work for U of A.

Oh and did I forget to say that we are all dating each other. Yeah well Stefan and I are together, along with Klaus and Caroline, Matt and Meredith, Tyler and Cassie and Damon and Bonnie. You see Stefan and I got together first almost 2 years ago. We were all at a party at the beach. We were both upset about something, we started talking and one thing led to another. Once we got together, the entire gang stopped whatever beef we had with each other and we helped the others get together. Not only do we have to hide our relationship because of the whole East vs. West, but we also have to hide it because our parents hate each other. They've hated each other for the longest and none of us know why.

Its basically the Gilberts, Donovans, Bennetts, and the Mikaelsons vs. The Salvatores, Forbes, Smiths, and Fells. The only person that knows about our relationships is my 10 year old brother Jeremy. He found out one day and promised not to say anything, so he kinda helps us when we need it. If my dad ever found out who we were dating, I swear Cassie and I would be 6 feet under. Well now that you know the important stuff, let the story begin.

"Good Morning everybody." I said as I walked into the kitchen to see my family eating breakfast.

I ruffled my brother's hair and kissed both my parents on the cheek before sitting by my sister.

"Good Morning Elena." My mother said as she sat my breakfast in front of me.

"So are you two ready for your birthday in a couple of weeks." My mum said as Cassie and I smiled.

"Of course, 18 baby." Cassie said as we high-five each other.

"Ugh don't remind me. I can't believe you girls are turning 18. You girls are growing up to fast." My father said with a pout as my mother laughed.

"Aw daddy," I said as I went to go hug him.

"We'll always be your little girls." I said as my dad smiled and kissed my cheek.

"I know." He said as he kissed Cassie's hand.

"Come on sis, we gotta get going." Cassie said as she looked at her watch.

"Where are you two off to so early?" My mum asked as we put our dishes away.

"We have to go meet the gang before school." I said as we kissed their cheek.

"Okay. Have a good day at school and remember we have the dinner party tonight." My dad said as we nodded.

"Okay Love you." Cassie and I said as we left.

We hopped into my 2012 black Mercedes and pulled out of the garage as we headed to go meet the gang. The only thing about that was we actually were going to meet the gang which included the wildcats, which our parents of course didn't know about.

10 minutes later we pulled my car on the side of this little abandon house that only us and the wildcats knew about. It was far away from our families so we were in the clear. We found it a couple of months after Stefan and I got together and we figured that we would fix it up and it could be our little hideout. Nearly two years later and our parents still haven't figured anything out. We walked up to the house and Cassie unlocked the door with the key she had in her pocket.

"BOO!" My sister and I screamed and turned around to see Damon laughing.

"Damn it Damon. You know we hate it when you do that." I said glaring at him.

"Duh, that's why I do it." said Damon with a smirk as we rolled our eyes.

Damon was like another brother to us. He gets on our last nerves but at the end of the day, we love him and know that he'll do anything for us.

"Where is everyone?" Cassie asked.

"In the living room. Come on." Damon said as we followed him.

"Hey Salvatore, Forbes; your girls are here." Damon said as we rolled our eyes.

Before I could say anything, I felt a pair of lips on mine and a pair of strong arms around my waist.

"Hi." Stefan said with a smile that I loved.

"Hi wildcat." I said with a smile.

"Ugh, would you guys please get a room." I turned to see Klaus on the couch with his arm around Caroline.

"Oh shut up, I didn't say anything when your tongue was down my sister's throat." Tyler said which made them blush and us laugh.

"What took you guys so long?" Bonnie asked as I sat on Stefan's lap.

"Our parents were talking to us about our birthday." Cassie said.

"Yeah our dad was getting all soft because we're turning 18." I said.

"It's about time. You two have been 17 for what seemed like years." Matt said as we throw a pillow at him.

"Shut up you idiot. You're only 6 months older." Cassie said.

"Still makes me older." Matt said with a smirk.

"Anyway.." Meredith said rolling her eyes at her boyfriend. "What are you guys doing for your birthday?"

"We're having a party." Cassie said.

"Which reminds me.." I said pulling out 7 invites.

"Here." I said giving it to each of them.

"What's this?" Tyler asked.

"Your invite duh." Alex said to her boyfriend.

"We're invited." Stefan asked looking at me.

"Of course. You guys thought you weren't." I said as I smiled at him.

"Well what about your parent's." Caroline asked.

"Yeah they'll go crazy if they see us." Stefan said looking at me.

"Read the invite." I said as they all read it and them gasped.

"It's a masquerade party." Caroline said excited as Cassie and I laughed.

"Yep. Everyone must wear a mask as part of their costume." I said.

"That why our parents won't ever notice you guys." Cassie said.

"Sweet." Stefan said with a smile as he kissed me.

"Sorry to break this up, but we better get going, we're late for school." Bonnie said as we all groaned, but got up anyway.

Before we left, each guy went to their girl.

"I'm going to miss you Lena." Stefan said as we connected foreheads and I smiled.

I loved his nickname for me. I made me feel so special.

"I'm going to miss you too wildcat." I said as I sighed.

"What's wrong baby?" Stefan said with concerned in his eyes. God he's so sweet.

"I just wish we didn't have to hide our relationship." I said as he sighed.

"I know baby, but it won't be for long I promise." He said kissing my forehead which made me smile.

"Hey Stefan" We both looked up to see Tyler walking over to us with Cassie.

"What's up?" Stefan asked.

"You need to look after Cassie tonight at the dinner party." Tyler said as Stefan looked at him confused.

"Wait, you guys are going to be there?" Stefan asked me as I nodded.

"Sweet." Stefan said as I laughed.

"Hey no fair, how come your girl is going to be there?" Both Klaus and Damon said with a pout as we all laughed.

"Yeah we be better hope our dads don't kill each other." Cassie said as we all rolled our eyes.

We each kissed our loved one and then told each other goodbye before we all headed to school for the day.

Later on that night we walked into the dinner party that was being held for certain businesses, my dad's business being one of them.

"Well look who finally decided to show up." We turned around to see the Mikaelson family all standing behind us.

"Hi Uncle Micheal, Aunt Hester" My siblings and I said in unison.

"Hello kids." They said as everyone hugged.

"How you doing Klaus?" My dad asked his god son.

"I'm good. Thanks Uncle Ric." Klaus said with a smile.

"My Jenna, the girls are getting more beautiful everyday." Hester said as we blushed.

"Yeah Ric, you better watch those boys around them." Micheal said as the Cassie, Klaus and I rolled our eyes.

"No need. I got Klaus watching them. Right Klaus?"

"Right Uncle Ric." Klaus said as Cassie and I looked at each other with the "yeah right" face.

"Mum, I see Conner. Can I go hang with him?" Jeremy said
