Ariana's POV

I entered the kitchen with Elena following behind. I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and sat on a stool.

I turned and looked at the TV. Logan Fell was chatting away on the TV about the animal attacks and he was being dramatic as always. I rolled my eyes, taking a bite out of my apple.

I glanced at Jenna. She was glaring at the TV and at Logan Fell while mumbling names and cursing under her breath.

"Who are you even talking to, Jenna?" Elena asked, standing behind Jenna. My sister followed Jenna's gaze towards the TV.

"Him. Logan 'scumbag' Fell." Jenna replied. I began to fiddle with the locket around my neck. I still didn't know who got it for me. "Do you girls know the real reason why I moved away from Mystic Falls? Did your parents ever tell you?" Jenna questioned, looking between Elena and I. Wait... I stopped fiddling with my necklace and smirked, turning completely towards Jenna.

"You and Logal Fell!? When did this happen!?" I exclaimed, smirking wider while letting out a small laugh.

"He's actually quite cute!" Elena giggled, also smirking. She sat down beside me.

"Cute!? What are you on about!? H-he is far from cute!" Jenna spluttered, going back to glaring at Logan on the TV.

"Calm down Aunt Jenna, you don't need to get worked up over a guy." I said. I grabbed the remote and switched the TV off. Jenna snapped out of her glaring trance and sent a thankful smile towards me. Elena grabbed a box from her bag. It was a box of our family heirlooms.

"Ariana, mind helping me out?" Elena asked. I shook my head with a smile. Elena smiled back and threw a cloth towards me. I caught it and took a few of the heirlooms out of the bag and began cleaning them.

"What is all of this stuff? Heirlooms?" Jenna questioned.

"Yep. We got it from the safe deposit box. Mum told Mrs Lockwood a few months ago that she could borrow it all for the founders council to use for their display or something." Elena explained. Jenna and Elena began to chat. Jeremy walked in at some point.

"I'm gonna be upstairs!" I told them after I finished cleaning my half of the things, threw my half eaten apple in the bin and went upstairs. I heard the doorbell ring. "Can someone get that!?" I yelled down, collapsing on my bed. When the door opened, I knew the smooth voice. Great, Stefan had arrived...

I really wished I had a relationship. What I mean is, I want someone to be as caring and loving as Stefan is with Elena. Or Matt was with Elena. She gets all the guys!!

Wow, I was beginning to sound like Caroline...

I heard Elena and Stefan going into her room. I got bored after five minutes or something and decided to eavesdrop from the hall.

Oh! Elena was asking Stefan to the founders party. Well, I'm going Solo. I mean, Stefan was going with Elena. Damon was probably going with Caroline... I'd just hang out with Bonnie, but what if she had a date too!? Whatever... I needed to stop thinking about my lonely, single life and stop eavesdropping.

So that's what I did. I went back into my room and did some random stuff. I began doodling. It's what I did when I got bored, and I end up getting lost in thought that I go into a trance kind of thing and don't come out until I've finished doodling.

I didn't even know what I drew until I finished. I'm not the best at drawing, but I guess I'm not exactly the worst.
