You were a new vampire. Damon had turned you recently after a selfish hunt. The thing is that you were 16 years old. And that is young as shit. You were a teenager who, on top of school, had to deal with bloodthirst.. and the other symptoms

So you often spent time in the Salvatore house with the brothers. Stefan was like a big brother or father figure to you. He always gave you advice and made sure Damon didn't influence you with his bad behavior. Damon was chill but was lowkey a D1 crashout. He often took you out to do fun things, he felt quite bad about what he did to you. In the process of spending so much time with them you even got to know their friends and stuff like that
