Bonnie : Pretty Much..

Boy : Jeremy good batch, man.

Elena : I'll be right back

Elena : Great it's the first day of school and you are stoned..

Jeremy : No, I'm not.

Elena : Where is it? Is it on you?

Jeremy : Stop alright! You need to chill your self, alright!

Grayson , Miranda , Jenna and John frowns and look at Jeremy and Elena.

"What is going on? What is the meaning of this Jeremy? Elena?..." asked Grayson.

" And where are we?" Asks Miranda.

Elena : Chill myself? What is those Stoner talk? Dude, you are so cool..

Jeremy: Look, stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?

Elena : You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass, but I am done watching you destroy yourself. No, no, no, you know what? Go ahead. Keep it up but just you know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz everytime, you got it? Jeremy, I know who you are and it's not this person. So don't be this person.

Jeremy : I don't need this and stop trying to control my life. I am grieving and this is my way of grieving. It's better if I talk to Grace at least she understands me...

[ Hearing Jeremy mentioned Grace's name Elena glared hard at him but Jeremy simply leaves. ]

Everyone frowns at the scene.

"What is going on? Why are you two acting like this?" asked Miranda but did not get any reply since Elena and Jeremy were busy glaring at each other.

" I know I have no right to speak in between siblings and it is wrong for your brother to treat you like this but you are acting like his mother rather than understanding him like a sibling" comments Alexander in his deep accent and immediately Elena starts blushing and stuttering seeing the man who looks like a Greek God talking to her.

Katherine silently scoffs but stiffens when she felt the eyes of The Originals all staring at her with different expressions. Though the Originals weren't the only one, The Salvatore brothers too had their eyes on Katherine and Elena.

Outside the boys bathroom

[ Stefan and Elena collide ]

Stefan : Uh.. Pardon me. Um.. is this the men's room?

Elena : Yes. um, I was just, I-i was just - it's a long story...

[ Elena smiles sheepishly and tries to pass and Stefan makes way for her ]

Elena : Thankyou!

In the history class

Tanner: Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union.

He continues talking..

[ Elena and Stefan exchange looks ]

Bonnie ( Texts to Elena ) : HAWT - E STARING @ U.

[ Matt is seen looking sad at Bonnie's text and at Elena and Stefan who keep exchanging looks]

Even now Matt is looking in between Elena and Stefan. Elena gives him a sad smile which he ignores and Vicki is seen looking angry, glaring at Elena.

[ Elena then looks at Stefan seeing him looking at her smiles and looks at the front again.]

John and Grayson narrow their eyes and glare at Stefan along with Katherine glaring at Elena. Whereas Elena blushes along with Stefan

Outside the school

[ Jeremy is seen calling someone and the phone is answered ]

Unknown : Hello... { A melodious voice is heard}

Jeremy : Hey, Gracie

Grace : Jerry Hey, How are you? Is everything okay?..

Jeremy : I am fine Gracie. I just, i just miss you..

Grace : Aww Jerry I miss you too darling. So tell me how is it going? Today is the first day right?

Elena glares at Jeremy through the corner of her eyes which The Originals and Katherine did not miss making them interested.

Jeremy : It would have been fine if Elena did not interrupt it with her constant nagging. Why can't she understand that I am grieving as well and i do not like to write my feelings in a diary and this is my way of grieving...

Grace : Jeremy, calm down. Look, I understand but you also need to understand that she is your sister and she cares for you. Yes, your way of grieving is different than hers but she is only trying to look out for you...

Elena's glare softened a little as she stared at the screen with an unfathomable look.

Jeremy : I just need her to leave me alone and i am not getting high or stoned now as you made me promise but she still thinks I am stoned.

Grace : Okay good, I am happy that you have kept your promise and you know what just try to be patient with your sister and also remember I am always there for you. ALWAYS! Just let me know if you need anything, okay kiddo? I need to go now. But take care of yourself, Jenna and also Elena, okay? Bye. Love you!!

Jeremy : Yes, Thankyou for making my day better and you also take care of yourself. Love you too...

[ Jeremy ends the calls and smiles then walks away ]

Many people smile at this conversation and the Vampires especially the Original family felt a pang in their chest seeing that bond.

Elena was seen looking annoyed and kept glaring at nothing while Jeremy and Bonnie had a wide smile on their faces.

Miranda and Grayson gave Monica a grateful smile to which she smiled at them.

Cemetry is shown

[ Elena is seen walking in the cemetery and writing her diary ]

The Mystic crew exchange nervous looks and glance at the Gilbert Family and Elena , Jeremy look worried.

Elena : Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, "I'm fine, thanks," at least thirty-seven times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer.

[A crow appears on her parents grave stone.]

Loud gasps and yells fill the room. Elena and Jeremy let out a loud cry and ran to hug their parents while Jenna is frozen and a tear slid down her eye while John is looking shocked and sad.

Everyone gives the family sad and pitying looks. Caroline and bonnie hugs Elena. Tyler, Matt and Vicki give Jeremy sad look. While Grayson and Miranda are shocked but sigh silently accepting their fate. They are just sad that they are not there for their children anymore...

The screen is temporarily paused and people move away to give the family some time..

After some tears, yelling and comfort they all get ready to watch again..
