Alright, this is my new diary.
I'll use it to record my life and keep notes of things I see.
That should assist me with keeping track of details.

Dear diary,

Hello, you're new. I just got you because I felt like it might be a good idea to start keeping a record of things that are happening now that I've moved back to Mystic Falls. My parents have been acting strange ever since they decided to come back here, and I figured it was a good idea to write down everything I see for future reference.

Out of the blue
City 'too loud', despite having lived there for four years without complaint.

I'll keep a look out for more evidence that could lead me to the real reason that they came back. In the meantime, I'll have to worry about seeing my old friends again for the first time in four years. I admit, I'm a little nervous. But why am I telling you? This isn't exactly what I got this diary for, and now if someone reads this I'll have to kill them.

Oh well.

At any rate, we'll see how things go, won't we?

signed,
Meredith.

Dear diary,

First night back, I decided to take a little stroll around town. Things haven't changed too much over the years. It's a bit bigger, there are more shops, more houses, etc. Nothing of any real note. I still can't figure out why my parents wanted to come back here...

I had planned to go visit my friends tomorrow, but I just found out that I have to go to the high school and take care of things and then my parents told me I need to head home to help with unpacking. That means I'll need to wait another day before I can go see my old friends. Thinking about how they'll react is killing me. I kinda just want to get it over with...

And now here I am rambling on about personal stuff again. It's so easy to just go off on a tangent in these things. I guess it's not so bad though as long as no one actually reads you. I'm still keeping an eye out for clues about my parents though. We'll see what I discover.

Meredith.

Dear diary,

So the unexpected happened. How 'teenager' of me to get a crush on a guy my first day back. And on a teacher no less. Alaric Saltzman. Strangely enough I've met him before. He was the man that comforted me when I was a kid and visiting my granfather. My grandfather had scared me and Alaric had sat with me to keep me calm. I'm not usually one to let my emotions get the better of me, but I did that night. I'm really glad he had been there for me.

But now I have someone around that knows about my grandfather. I never even told my friends about him. He promised he keep it a secret and I'm forced to trust him. Not like I have a choice. He seemed like a good man though, hence the crush. He's really handsome too. And this diary officially becomes Fort Knox worthy. Or at least that lockable chest I have. I really can't leave you lying around with all this written here.

History class is going to be interesting. I really need to get my mind off of him. Tomorrow I'm going to see Elena for sure now. Still nervous about it too. I'm getting all muddled in the head here; too many crazy drama things happening at once. Hopefully once I see Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie, get that worry off my shoulders, I'll be able to think at 100% again. Then I can really get into solving what's going on around here and the strange things that came up with Alaric.

Dammit. Now I'm thinking about him again...

Meredith.
