I woke up to my alarm to see that the clock was 07:45. School didn't start before 08:30, so I have a little time before I have to get going there. I began to stand up from my bed, right to walk in my closet. I searched for something to wear on school. Suddenly I found a package in my closet. I opened it up carefully, then it revealed a blue shirt with white dots on it. It was also a note and it stood ''to my eighteen year old son. Happy birthday sport''. Signed mom and dad.

I took the shirt on me as with a black t shirt and a pair of jeans. I checked myself in the mirror to see if I looked good. I saw that my curly brown hair needed a little brush so, I combed it. Then I walked down to the living room where my mom came and gave me a tight hug saying ''happy birthday Nick. To think you are eighteen years old'', she shed a tear as she said that. ''thanks mom. Relax I'm just eighteen years old. it's not a big deal'', I said.

Then dad jumped in ''of course it's a big deal sport. You are turning to a man now. oh, also happy birthday'', he said with a smile. ''yeah, but shouldn't I get my own apartment then if I'm a man now'', I said starring at my parents. They both looked at each other and dad said ''you're funny Nick. You'll get an apartment when you are a little older son. You still are a kid'', he said giving me a nudge. ''your father is right Nick even though you are becoming a man, you are still a kid'', she said giving me a light smile. ''figured'', I mumbled quiet. ''I understand'', I said to them and gave them both a hug.

After I went to find my self breakfast. I took a crispy new cereal type and ate that. when I finished I saw the clock was 08:15. So I rushed out the door as I was saying bye to my parents and little sister.

5 minutes later

I just parked my car and went inside my school. I reached my locker and took my books out, but before I could close it. Scott and his crew came in and smacked it at my face. ''hello there Salvatore, saw it was your birthday today. So, happy birthday. Here's a present'', he said. Then before I could answer he had a cake in his hand, and before I knew it. He had smashed it onto my shirt.

Classic his and his crew always have to do something to me. I don't know why they're after me. I saw people began to stare. I wanted so hard to hit him, but I can't because If I do I can be expelled. Also, I have been told to not start a fight or get into one. So, Instead I said this ''classic Scott. You never get tired, do you? It's like you have to bully someone to keep your cool status. Don't know if it's because you have a small weenie or something'', I said with a smirk on my face.

Everyone started to laugh and stare at Scott. He watched at the people, then back at me. Before knowing it I felt a smash om my face and suddenly I was on the floor. I started to rage inside of me, so I took myself up and hit him as hard I could. I didn't know how hard I hit him, because when the moment I hit him in the chest. He flied back. I don't know how I did it. As he hit one of the lockers the principal came out and saw Scott on the floor an looked at me. Before I got to say anything, the teacher beat me to it ''mr Salvatore this is not tolerated at this school. From this day see yourself as expelled at the mystic high. I'm calling your parents to let them know''. I didn't get a chance to do anything. The principal didn't even give me a chance to explain. He just pointed the door for me. As I walked I saw the face on Scott, and he smirked at me. I was filled up with rage, but I just walked away from the school.

20 minuets later

Instead of going home I went to the Salvatore boarding school for the young and gifted. As I had parked my car. I went over to the gate. I pushed the speaking button, Alaric answered with ''hello who's there?''. ''hey mr Saltzman'', I answered. ''Nick? What are you doing here?'', he asked with a surprised tone. ''well, you see I kind of got expelled from mystic high and I guess my parents know. So, I don't want to go home and get yelled as. Could I maybe be here for a couple of hours?'', I asked. He answered with ''yeah sure, but I got to call your father to tell you where you are''. I sighed but answered with ''yeah I understand''. As I said that the gate opened up.

I walked in and saw some people at the school. Withes smiling at me and some winked at me. The vampire's glaring. The wolves just minding their own business. I then saw Jed and he saw me as he was walking up to me. he started talking ''happy birthday dude'', he said giving me a fist bump. Me and Jed know each other. He hasn't actually been nice to me before about eight months ago. So, we became friends. I actually found him cool not the macho alpha he's pretending to be, but he's actually nice when you get to know him.

''thanks Jed'', I answered with. ''so, ready for the big party later?'', he asked with excitement. Yeah I'm having a birthday party here at the boarding school later. Mr S was gladly to let me have the party here so. ''yeah so, exited'', I said with a sarcastically tone. ''Nick I know you don't like to celebrate your birthday, but this is a big one. You just turned eighteen'', he said. ''yeah your right. I'm becoming a man, bla bla'', I said. Jed just laughed. ''well, gotta go see you later'', he said. ''yep see you later Jed''. As Jed was leaving I saw the twins coming up my way. ''Nicky happy birthday'', Lizzie said giving me a kiss on the lips. Yeah me and Lizzie are together. We got together about a month or so ago when she revealed she had feelings for me. I liked her too. Not exactly in that way anymore, but I figured why not give it a shot. As I knew Hope Mikaelson was with Landon, so I decided to get together with Lizzie and hope that the feelings I had for Hope would maybe disappear. However, it didn't. I actually have some feelings for Lizzie, but I still am in love with Hope. I know it isn't fair for her, but I don't want to break her heart. So, instead I lock my feelings for Hope down and try to forget them. Its not easy as I am around her sometimes, but I try.

The only one that knows my feelings for tribrid is just Jed. I actually trust him, and he hasn't said anything about it to the gang. He said he would keep the secret, secretly he had tried to place Hope and me close in things. Like this one time we were going in groups to a scavenger hunt, don't ask. He pointed out who was in groups together, and lastly me and Hope was the one in the same group. As were searching me and Hope talked and actually became a little closer than we were before. However, sometimes when I'm around her I still get nervous and stutter a little. That's, however has got a little better and now I don't stutter as much as I did. As I am with Lizzie.

I snapped out of my thoughts and said ''thank you Lizzie'', giving her a smile and a peck on the cheek. Then Josie turned to me and said ''happy birthday Nick'', giving me a hug. ''thanks Jo'', I said still onto the hug. We both pulled away from each other and Josie said ''well, i'l leave you two love birds alone''. Then she walked away.
