Chapter 1: A Good Crazy

All eyes were on him. Guys and girls. Was it such a shock? No. He was the hottest talent that had walked through the halls in months. The expensive leather jacket, dark coloured jeans, the shades, also the dazzling looks to match his attire. Pushing his shades up through his jet black hair, he licked his lips as he revealed the blue shimmering orbs that had been hidden behind the glasses. Girls swooned and sighed, looking at the new god. The guys rolled their eyes, knowing deep down that competition had just arrived to the school.

"Excuse me?" Walking over to a brunette, he tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yes?" Turning around, she gave him a soft smile.
"Sorry. Uh.. did you know where registration is?"

Elena looked him over, a twinkle in her eyes as she closed her locker over and watched in amusement as people gasped and whispered around the hall, pointing towards them. Turning her attention back towards him, she tilted her head, ignoring them.

"New?" She questioned amused as she raised an eyebrow.
"That obvious?" Giving her a grin, he watched as she threw her head back and laughed at him.
"No one talks to me." She whispered, hugging herself.
"And why would that be?" He whispered with a smirk, catching a few glances around the hall.
"They're scared because I'm the head cheerleader and they think I'll bite their heads off."

Laughing, she led him down the hall, avoiding the stares as she made her way towards the registration office, knowing she was short for time and had to be at her class as soon as.

"Well, you seem to be doing good so far." Damon commented with a laugh.
"Thank you. Maybe you could spread the word... that I'm not so bad and all?"
"I'll get right on it. Word of mouth and all."

A blush rose to her cheeks as she opened the door, holding it open. He winked as he stepped through the door. Biting her lip, she took in a breath as she closed the door over tightly.

"Well, THIS is registration. I have to get to class." Elena watched him closely.
"So, if I need help, I follow the stares to find you?" Damon quirked an eyebrow.
"Very funny, mister comedian. I'll see you around blue."

Laughing, she walked out as he shook his head, a smirk grazing his lips as he turned to the desk, knowing he'd have to sign into the school sooner or later. Now it was going to be sooner.

Biting into her apple, the brunette looked at her hands, watching the juices from the apple spread on to her palm. Licking the juices, she looked around at her surroundings. The sun was shining, so bright. Everyone was either laying on the grass or sprawled across benches. Caroline was flirting with Matt AND Tyler at the same time. SO Caroline. Bonnie rolled her eyes, digging into her pasta as Elena laughed at her. Looking over, she seen Damon walking outside and walking over towards a blue Camaro.

"I will be right back." Elena told them, getting up as she moved past crowds of people.
"Stefan, pick up the phone you jug head!" Damon spoke into the phone, opening his car door.
"Hey blue." The brunette watched as he turned, a smile on his face as he hung up.
"Hello there cheerleader." Closing the door again, he leaned against the side of the car.
"Settling in okay then?" She asked curiously, squinting as the sun shined in her eyes.
"Seems you made an impact talking to me earlier on." He told her, laughing, a twinkle in his eyes.
"What is your name?" Elena asked curiously, staring up at him as she crossed her arms.
"It's Salvatore. Damon Salvatore. What's yours chocolate?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Uhh... chocolate?" The brunette laughed, furrowing her eyebrows.
"I know you call me blue because of my eyes."
"A smart comedian, wow. However will I forget you?" She smiled as he rolled his eyes playfully.
"So, I can call you chocolate?" He poked her nose.
"OR Elena is fine. Elena Gilbert to be exact." She told him.

"Hmm... Elena..." He tested the name on his tongue, "It suits you."
"Why thank you, I'll notify my parents." She responded.
"Or I could tell them myself." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"They're dead." The brunette spoke, her voice cold.
"Elena... I..."
"You didn't know," She nodded in understanding, "No one usually does."
"Uhhmm..." He rubbed the back of his neck, "I know what you're going through."
"How? How could you possibly know that?" She frowned, swallowing.
"My parents died too." He told her, clearing his throat.
"Oh, sorry..." She bit her lip and tilted her head, "Who do you live with?"
"Uncle.. and my younger brother," He ran his fingers through his hair, "What about you?"
"My aunt... Jenna and my younger brother Jeremy."

He looked at her as she looked back at him, the same look passing through their eyes. Familiar territory. They both smiled in unison. The start of a beautiful friendship and adventure.

Bursting into a fit of laughter, the brunette threw flour across the kitchen, her aim impeccable as his jet black hair, was now a dusty white. His jaw nearly hit the floor in shock as he stared at her, Elena now hunched over in a fit of laughter.

"You're dead Gilbert!" Damon shouted, jumping across the counter.
"No!" She screamed as him as grabbed her and began tickling her.
"No escaping me now." He grabbed flour, emptying it onto her hair.
"Damon!" Elena shrieked, grabbing chocolate powder and throwing it.
"And what are you two doing?" They turned to see Jenna standing in the kitchen doorway, a smile playing on her face.

"Sorry Jenna, your niece is being a pain." Damon explained.
"Me?" Elena gasped in shock, elbowing him as he grunted.
"Just clean it up, alright?" She gave them a look, laughing and walked out.
"Yeah, Elena! Get to it girl!" Damon told her with a smirk.
"Jerk!"
"Oh, you love it." He told her with a wink as he began sweeping the floor.
"Yup. You know how it gets me going." She told him, laughing as she shook her head, looking at the mess.
"Oh, does it huh?" Raising an eyebrow, he lifted her onto the counter, stepping between her legs.

"Nu uh! We have talked about this mister." Elena poked him, smiling.
"We have? It appears I have a bad memory.." He smirked, licking his lips.
"OR something is clouding your thoughts." She told him, giving him a look.
"Hmm, a certain cheerleader, perhaps?" He moved his hands either side of her on the counter.
"Oi. Be good." She pointed at him, squinting her eyes.
"Mmm..." He looked her over, his eyes meeting hers.
"What's going on?" Jeremy questioned, walking in as he looked at the mess.
"Nothing Jer." Elena answered with a smile.
"Nothing yet... anyway," Damon smirked at Elena, moving back and looked at Jeremy, "So, how you doing man?"
"I'm great. Really great." He replied, grinning at Damon.

The brunette bit her lip, feeling her stomach coil as she watched Damon and Jeremy. What was she going to do? He was driving her crazy. A good crazy that is.
