Hello. Yes it is another Delena Fanfic. I wanted to write a story in reverse how Elena is experienced and Damon isn't anyway please enjoy and let me know what you think! Just so you know Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, Matt, Tyler, and Rebekah are juniors, Damon, Alaric, and Meredith are Sophomores, Jeremy, Anna, and Stefan are freshman, and Katherine, Lexi, and Vicki are seniors, and Mason is now in college. Katherine and Elena do look alike but are not identical and they are cousins. Enjoy!
"Man, stop staring at her, its super creepy." Alaric said in a mocking whisper.
I take a quick look at my best friend Ric and then continuing looking at her. Elena Gilbert. She is with her best friends Caroline Forbes a tall, blonde, blue-eyed and perky control freak and Bonnie Bennett a short, dark hair and dark skinned witch no really she practices Wicca, behind them are Tyler Lockwood the mayor's son and a friendly blue-eyed boy-next-door Matt Donovan who are both jocks and are probably talking about Friday's football game no less. Ugh, jocks.
I return my attention to the girl in front, the one and only Elena Gilbert. She had long brown wavy tresses, beautifully tanned olive skin from the summer sun, long legs that could go on for miles, plump pink lips, a slender figure, and the most beautiful brown eyes that I could just drown in. She is every guys dream. Well except Ric who is in love with his sophomore girlfriend Meredith. Seeing him all love-struck makes me want to barf, but he's so happy it makes me jealous and wish to be in that kind of love too.
"Damon? Hello? Are you there man?" Ric asks again pulling me out of my trance and dazed thoughts. Alaric has been my friend longer than I could remember he's just so easy to get along with, mostly due to his laid-back attitude. He has sandy-blonde hair and blue eyes, if I hadn't known him forever I'd say he was a surfer from Cali.
"Yeah, I'm here, sorry man and I wasn't staring, I was admiring from afar." I say with a smile. Ric smiles back.
"If you say so, it looked stalker-ish." He laughs.
"Wow, thanks." I say sarcastically.
"Damon, you've had a crush on her since the summer of freshman year, when you saw her at the public pool and she said one word to you, and you nearly drowned. You really have to let go, it's not good to pine after her like this I mean what you only spoken to her once after that at our first freshmen party at the Lockwood's estate." Ric says seriously.
I remember that day like no other the first time I saw Elena Gilbert.
It was a hot day and the last day before my first year of high school started, I was going to be a freshman at Mystic Falls High. Me, Alaric, and my younger brother Stefan decided to go swimming at the public pool.
The sun was shining down and it was so hot. We put our towels up hanging over the fence and went straight to the diving board. That's when I saw her. Elena. She and her friends were sun tanning near the diving board. She looked so hot in her bikini; she had beautiful curves and not a mark on her. Then some tan, muscular guy with light brown curly hair got out of the pool and grabbed her. She screamed.
"Mason, put me down you're getting me wet." She yelled.
"We're at a pool, that's the point Elena." He said just before he jumped into the pool with her. She laughed and screamed.
That's when I learned her name, Elena. It was so beautiful and so was she I tested the name out for myself.
"Elena," I whispered. I liked the way it felt when I said her name.
"What?" asked Ric, who obviously heard me mumble something.
"Nothing. Hey Ric, check her out." I said pointing to Elena.
Alaric looked over and saw what I meant. He nodded in approval.
"I see Salvatore, scoping out babes in bikinis." Ric said with a smile.
"Well, it's a gift of mine." I laugh.
"Ready to dive in? It's hot out here." He says to me.
"Yeah man, let's do it." I nod.
As we head over to the diving board, Elena is climbing up the ladder and smiles when she sees me. She smiled!
"Hey," she said. "Can I have a hand?" she asked putting her hand up to ask for help. I nod and don't say anything. I've become mute. She is so beautiful and her voice is like music to my ears.
I give her my hand and pull her out of the pool.
"Thanks, handsome." She says as she walks away. I watch her as she sashays over to her lounge chair and her friends.
I watch her grab her towel and ring the water out of her hair before she throws it down and starts to reapply sun-block.
She yells over to the pool. "Hey Mason, you wanna get my back?" she smiles and has a glint in her eyes.
"Yeah Len." He shouts over to her. I wish I were close enough to call her nicknames and apply her with sun screen. I'm still standing were I was when I helped her out.
The guy called Mason, quickly climbs out of the pool and in his hurry to get to her, not that I blame him he knocks me into the pool and I hit my head.
I hit the water with a loud splash and I heard screaming before I blacked out.
When I woke up, Elena was hovering over me. I was in shock and awe at the beautiful girl above me. Then went to the side and coughed up water.
"What happened?" I ask through coughs.
"You were knocked into the pool, and nearly drowned. Are you okay?" she asks sweetly. I look into her eyes and see real concern. No one usually cares for me except my mother who is away in Italy with family.
"I'm okay now." I say with a small smile. I see her shoulders relax and she lets out a long breath.
"Good, that's good. Just take it easy, you scared your little brother and your best friend over there." She tilts her head in their direction and I look and see them with worried expressions.
"I will, and thank you for helping me." I say and touch her arm.
She looks at me and looks to her arm and then she looks back at me.
"You're welcome; you were just lucky I'm the daughter of a doctor and know how to perform CPR." She says with a smile.
I smile back and let go of her arm, she touches my head and then gets up and heads back to her friends.
She performed CPR on me? Her lips actually touched mine, her hands touched over my heart, her breath coursed through my lungs? I don't even care that I almost drowned, I just care that she was so close to me and saved my life. I think I'm in love with that goddess of a woman.
I look at Ric after remembering my flashback.
"Yeah man, I know but she's perfect and she saved my life." I say with a smile.
"I know, I know." He sighs
"It was fate when school started last year that she went here too. I mean what are the odds?" I ask him.
"Fate man? Fate?" Ric chuckles. "Have you been reading Nicolas Sparks novels again?" he laughs.
I glare at him. "It was one time." I say defensively.
Alaric just continues laughing.
"I know you think you have something with her, like a connection or whatever because she gave you CPR and Stefan and her brother are best friends, but you know nothing about her and you need to let it go man." Alaric says seriously again.
"We do have something Ric, I felt it when she saved my life and I still feel it now. When she saved my life everything changed, my mom came back, my father stopped treating me like a disease, my home life couldn't be better. What is that if not fate?" I question him.
"A coincidence?" Ric asks.
"Man, I'm telling you it's more than that." I say seriously.
"Alright look I have to get to class and so do you, we can talk later." He says seriously before he gets up and heads to class.
The first class I have today is A.P. history a junior class. Great! I think sarcastically, another class where students get to make fun of me for being smart. I said home life was good, school life not so much.
…
I walked through the crowded hallways, squeezing by trying to go undetected as I went to my A.P. History class in room 105. I walk in and take a seat in the third row and second seat of the room and looked at the board. It looks like I'm stuck with the prick Mr. Tanner this year. Great just what I needed. Other students are piling in and trying to sit as far away as possible, no that I blame them.
Some students are still missing by time the bell rings, not that it concerns me.
"Hello class, I'm Mr. Tanner but by the end of this year you'll all know me as many other names I choose not to delve into right now, and I will be your A.P. history teacher this year. If you do your work, show up on time, and…" he stopped interrupted by the door opening and two girls standing in the doorway: Caroline Forbes and Elena Gilbert. Elena. She's in this class?
"You're late." Mr. Tanner yells. Both girls are wide-eyed; Elena is trying to hide a smirk and Caroline looks like she's seen a ghost.
Caroline quickly recomposes herself and smiles before saying, "Sorry Mr. Tanner, it seems we've gotten lost. Haven't we Elena?" she says looking over at her friend who is still trying to keep from laughing.
"Yeah." Elena nods. Mr. Tanner sighs, "Very well take your seats." He says as he gestures to the only seats left in the classroom one in the back of the class that Caroline rushes to and one directly next to me, which is left for: Elena.
Elena glares at Caroline and then smiles at Mr. Tanner before taking her seat next to me.
"Ms. Forbes, Ms. Gilbert don't forget to take notes from the people next to you after class." Mr. Tanner says before returning to his teachings. They both nod their heads once and take out their things for the rest of the class.
I look over at the girl sitting next to me. Elena. She is so beautiful and at this moment focused on her work. Ugh, not even I can focus right now. I'm looking at her and I'm losing time and everything else seems to fade away the only thing I'm aware of me and Elena. It's like we're the only two people here together.
Oh she's looking at me, quick turn away. Don't let her see you staring at her like some sort of stalker crazy person, I tell myself. But it's no use I can't turn away. I can look into her deep brown eyes and know that it's worth it. Really worth it.
"Can I help you?" she asks with a small smile.
"Umm…" I start. Think Salvatore think. "Here are the notes you missed." I say kindly giving her my notebook.
She smiles at me, looks over the notes and nods her head in appreciation.
"Thanks." She whispers.
"Welcome." I whisper back and turn my head away quickly to hide my crimson blush from her.
The rest of class goes great. I notice Elena coping down the notes I gave her, while still listening to Mr. Tanner. She is so beautiful when she's focused. She seems so at her element. Is she really smart? Is that possibly something else we may have in common? Use this as leverage, I tell myself. Get to know Elena Gilbert I keep reminding myself; I don't want this to be a crust anymore. I want this to be real, a relationship and maybe so much more.
When the bell rings everyone gets up immediately except Elena, Caroline, Matt and I. Caroline I suppose is getting notes from Matt, while I wait for Elena.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot about the notes I haven't finished yet is it okay if I return them to you after lunch?" Elena asks sheepishly while batting her eyes, probably trying to get me to give her longer with my notes, and it's working.
"Don't worry about it." I say as if it's no big deal.
"Don't you need your notes to pass the class?" she asks confused.
"I have a recording of the class on my phone, and an extra set of notes." I say with a smirk.
"Well aren't you prepared?" she asks with a small adorable giggle.
"Yes, ma'am I am." I say as I do my signature eye trick. That does it she freezes and just when I think she is about to burst out in blush and a smile or hair flip she doesn't.
"Well, thanks for the notes again." She said awkwardly.
"Yeah no problem," I say warily of her reaction. "Anyway we haven't formerly met, I'm Damon. Damon Salvatore." I say offering my hand.
"Elena. Elena Gilbert." She says warily before taking my hand and shaking it firmly. Wow for a small girl, she's got a strong grasp.
"Nice to meet you Elena." I say smoothing, or at least I hope that's how it sounded.
"You too Damon." She says sweetly.
"Anyways I better bet going, don't want to be late for all my classes." She says with a small laugh.
"Bye Damon." She says as she walks towards the door with her friends.
"Bye, Elena." I say with a smile as I watch her disappear.
Wow! Elena Gilbert spoke to me. I knew she would. I'm just glad especially after she avoided me last year. I just decided to pretend I haven't met her before and now she spoke to me and nothing majorly bad happened. This causes for a celebration with my buddy Alaric and my brother Stefan. Two more periods and then lunch for sophomores and juniors and I will see Elena again, while I tell Ric and Stefan of my already fantastic day.
…
Elena's POV
I can't believe he actually spoke to me. Damon Salvatore. I can't be seen with him, especially after that one day. I'll never forget that Back to School party at the Lockwood estate, thrown by Tyler my friend since childhood, and Caroline's boyfriend as of this year. I think they are great together especially after Matt, who I dated first and then she dated. I think it was doomed to fail between her and Matt since she always felt second best, and as my best friend I want her to be happy and be number 1 for a change. With Tyler she is.
Anyway back to Damon Salvatore and that awkward night that I could never forget.
It was the end of the first week of school, on a Friday night, Ty's parents were at a Council meeting in Richmond, and so he decided to use the Lockwood estate near the falls for the legendary BTSP (Back to School Party).
I was so excited. I was going with all my friends: Bonnie, Care, Ty, and Matt. We decided that we would make the most of the year, and party hard. Caroline was so drunk that she decided to strip and skinny dip in the falls, but Tyler stopped her and took care of her when she passed out, and that's how their relationship started.
Matt was trying to stop his sister Vicki from hooking up with random guys and Bonnie and I were wandering around the old Lockwood cellar. Bonnie eventually passed out so I called her a cab and headed back to the party.
I noticed some guy staring at me and he must have been pretty wasted because he stumbled on over to me by the keg.
"Hey, beautiful." He slurred.
"I have a name." I said warily looking him over trying to see if he looked familiar.
"Of course you do, Elena." He hiccupped.
"How do you know my name?" I asked. "Do I know you?"
"Well you should you saved my life. You and I shared something magical, when your hand pumped my heart, and your air coursed through me while your lips pressed against mine." He said trying to sound seductive but he was too drunk for it to work.
Suddenly all the pieces fit together. This is the boy I saved at the pool over the summer. Oh my god, what is he doing here?
"Oh, you're that boy that I gave CPR to at the pool a couple of weeks ago, before school started." I say understanding.
"Yes, and you are the girl of every boy's dirty dreams and fantasies." He slurred again while stumbling back a little. I grabbed his shoulders to balance him.
"Excuse me?" I asked offended.
"Oh come on, you know what you got, and you put it on display. You know Elena no one likes a tease." He whispered as if it were some big secret.
"You are completely wasted." I tell him.
"No, I'm not wasted, your just too sober." He tries to smirk, but it doesn't come out right.
"Who are you here with, you need to get home and sleep this off. Where do you live?" I ask while dragging him away from the keg.
"121 Maple Drive and I came with my friend Alaric, besides I'm not wasted, I was just drinking to work up the courage to talk to you, but you disappeared." He whispers sadly.
"Aww,, that was the sweetest thing any drunken guy has ever said to me." I say softly. But when I look over to him he's already half passed out. I sigh and call a cab to pick him up. I look for his friend Alaric to tell him I sent his friend home in a cab.
Later that night, I walked back to the Old Lockwood Cellar and ran into Mason.
"Hey Mas." I call out to him.
"Hey Lena." He says back. "What are you still doing here?" he asks.
"Just thinking, you?" I ask back.
"Looking for your cousin Kat." He says.
Of course good ole Cousin Katherine, my Uncle John's daughter who is a year older than me although she took her mother's maiden name Pierce. Katherine and I look a lot alike except my hair is wavy and light, while her hair is dark and curly and her eyes are darker, and the last thing that separates me from my cousin is our dress size, she has way bigger and bustier hips than I do.
"I haven't seen her since she did a keg stand about an hour ago." I inform him. He just nods.
"Look., Elena I know we've gotten closer over the summer…" he starts.
"And?" I question. Where is he going with this?
"And, I don't want it to end." He confesses. I blush although it's hard to tell in the dark.
"Me neither." I whisper.
"Really?" he asks hopeful.
"Really." I admit. Just when I confess that he comes over and kisses me. Wait what? Why is he kissing me? He's supposed to be with Katherine, although at this point I'm too tipsy to care so I kiss him back.
The next think I know we are ripping each other's clothes off and going at it in the Old Cellar.
I didn't know what I was doing, but when I woke up the next morning I was naked except for a male's button up blue shirt and my panties, lying on the ground next to Mason who was only in his boxer. I quickly figured out what went down last night and got dressed and left before he woke up.
On my way out of the estate I ran into Katherine walking away in shame and behind her Matt, who both have just fucked hair.
I nodded and plastered a fake smile on my face and ran, before grimacing at what I did last night and what I just saw.
That night was the weirdest night of my life, and it all started with Damon Salvatore.
He was such a sweet guy, but he had no self-confidence and I never really spoke to him again, until today. I caught him staring at me multiple times throughout the first period.
I do however admit he is nice for giving me these notes for the test for tomorrow. What can I say Tanner is the worst, and I absolutely suck at history, but I have to take this class if I want to graduate next year, so I have to pass. I have to get out of this small town and make something of myself, and this class is the first step.
And just maybe Damon Salvatore can help me, and in return I can help him too.
Now onto my plan.
