I do not own TVD.
Ric: So..Who do I need to threaten.
He said in a teasing tone. He could tell by the look on Elena's face that she was crushing on someone, and her being his stepdaughter didn't help in the slightest when it came to her love life.
Elena: Haha. Very funny. And no one. I was just lost in my thoughts, now finish eating your dinner.
Alaric knew she was lying, he figured she would tell him when she was ready. Elena couldn't tell him it was her new English teacher, Mr. Mikealson, he would just say something like he's her teacher and she's his student or something. And Jeremy might come home from Denver just to tell her how wrong she is.
Ric: So, how was your first day of being a senior?
Elena: It was good.
Ric: So I see you finally let Jenna pack you a lunch.
Elena: Yeah..she made me the basics. She's not really good at cooking. I'm just gonna stick school food for lunch.
They both laughed at how Jenna isn't a good cook.
It was Elena's second day of school and Caroline insisted she wear a fitted cotton dress that went down to just below her knees. She tried to tell Caroline no but there was no way of talking her out of it, and she had already brought it Elena's house last night. Elena walked into the kitchen to see Jenna and Alaric.
Jenna: Made you some pancakes.
She slid the plate to Elena, all Elena did was look at it before she looked up Alaric who was just smiling then to Jenna.
Jenna: Is there something wrong?
Elena: Umm. Did you make them or did Alaric make them?
Alaric fought back a laugh and shook his head.
Alaric: I made them. Relax.
Alaric let out a big laugh, he couldn't fight it no longer, causing Elena to laugh too. Jenna hit his side playfully.
Jenna: Hey! I try. Its just not meant for everyone.
Elena: I agree.
Jenna looked at Elena's dress once she had stepped from the counter.
Jenna: Cute dress..So...Who's the guy?
Elena looked down at her dress and back Jenna a little embarrassed.
Elena: No one. Caroline brought it over last night and demanded I wear it today. Something about a cute new boy named..Stefan I believe. I haven't seen him yet.
Alaric: You know. She told me it was no one last night.
He said in a teasing tone. Elena rolled her eyes and left for school.
Elena got to school and was greeted by her best friends.
Bonnie: Well look at you. You look amazing.
Elena: Thanks but you really have Caroline here to thank for making me wear it.
Caroline: It does look good on you, Elena.
Elena: Thanks, Care. But I'm not sure if I'm going to like this Stefan guy the way you think I will.
Caroline: You haven't even met the guy yet. We have our last two classes with him. Just give him a chance.
Elena: Alright, fine. But I'm only giving him one chance and that's it.
Bonnie: Lets just hope he isn't a bad guy.
The first half of the day went by easy. It was time for lunch before heading to history class.
Bonnie: I'm tired.
Caroline: Well at least the last two classes are easy.
Elena: Yeah...
She started thinking about Mr. Mikaelson. She sits in the front seat right in front of his desk, so she gets a good view of him.
Caroline: Elena? Elena? Hello earth to Elena.
Bonnie: She's really out of it. Elena?!
Elena: Sorry I was...thinking about something. What did you say?
Bonnie: Care asked if you were ready to meet Stefan next class. But I think you got someone else in mind.
Caroline: ELENA GILBERT. Why didn't you tell me you already liked someone?
Elena: Because I don't. I was just lost in thought about going shopping after cheer practice today. Then I realized you would wanna come and we'll be there for hours, I'm a little tired.
Bonnie: I agree with you on that, she does spend a long time in the store.
Caroline: Hey!
It was time for the last class of the day. She had met Stefan lass class but she didn't like him in the way Caroline wanted her to, so Elena to her on their way english class. When Elena walked in Elijah looked at her as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world, but of course he didn't show it.
Elijah: Miss. Gilbert.
Elena: Mr. Mikaelson.
She gave him a small smile which he returned.
Elijah: Alright class, today...
He started class. Throughout class Elena kept her eyes glued to Elijah as she chewed on the end of her pencil. She took down some good notes and did the work but anytime she got she would look at Elijah, he would also do the same. It was the end of school, she was almost out the door when she heard her name.
Elijah: Miss. Gilbert?
Elena turned around and put a smile on her face as she walked to Elijah who was leaning on his desk. God why does he have to be so hot? she thought. Stay focus Elijah, You've seen beautiful woman before. he thought.
Elena: Mr. Mikaelson.
Elijah: I couldn't help but notice you been distracted in class.
Elena: Uh yeah, I just have a lot on my mind lately.
She lied looking down at the books in her arms. Why he sat there admiring her.
Elena: Umm I have to get to cheer practice, if your done talking?
Elena still avoiding eye contact. Elijah cleared his throat.
Elijah: Of course. Wouldn't want you to be late, just try to focus in class from now on.
Elena: I'll try. See you tomorrow.
Caroline: I still don't see why you turned Stefan down. It looks like him Tyler have become friends, we could've went on double dates.
Elena: I'm just not in to him. When I see a guy I like, I'll tell you. Now lets get cheer practice going.
Bonnie: Yeah, I'm ready to go home and pass out.
About a hour later cheer practice was over.
Elena: I'll see you later Care, I gotta get something from the office.
Caroline: See you later.
Elena needed to complete some hours of work for school, you could go to the office and sign up to help a teacher and they would pick what teacher you had to help. Maybe this will keep my mind off mr. Mikaelson for a while. she thought.
Lady: Would you like to help a teacher in the morning or afternoon?
Elena: Afternoon please.
The lady printed out a paper and gave to her.
Elena: Thanks.
As Elena heads to the door she reads the paper.
Elena Gilbert
Work time: two weeks
When: everyday after school
Assigned teacher: Elijah Mikaelson
Time: as long as needed
Oh great, just the opposite of what I was going for. she thought. As she turned the corner she bumped into the one and only Elijah. Of all people it had to be Elijah. Elena stumbled a few feet back and managed not to drop anything, she looked up to apologize and saw that it was Elijah.
Elijah: Sorry I didn't see you there-. Miss. Gilbert, what are you still doing here?
He said as he put a hand in his suit pocket.
Elena: Its my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going. I signed up for the teacher/student program thing, thought it could help me to stay focus.
she sighed. He gave her a nod
Elijah: Well again, I'm sorry for running into you. Enjoy the rest of your day.
They exchange a smile and went their separate ways. Elena texted Caroline and Bonnie saying to meet her at the grill now. She had to confess to them so she could get their advice.
Bonnie: What's wrong Elena? You said to get here as fast as we could.
Caroline: Yeah. What happened?
Elena looked at them nervous.
Elena: Ok, this is going to sound crazy but I have a huge crush on mr. Mikaelson and I might be starting to fall for him.
Caroline: What!?
Bonnie: When this start?
She asked still trying to understand what she said.
Elena: The first day of school. But that's not it..I signed up for that teacher/student thing. My assigned teacher is mr. Mikaelson, and I have to stay everyday for the next two weeks after school for as long as needed. What am I going to do!?
Elena took a deep breathe and put her head on the table.
Bonnie: Ok first, calm down.
Caroline: Yeah relax a little.
Bonnie: I have an idea. why don't you keep a stress ball on you? When you get off focus or find yourself thinking about him too much squeeze the ball.
Caroline: I agree. I mean its not like something can happen between you two, and if it does, you won't have to worry about this, you'll get to see him more.
Caroline had a big smile on her face.
Elena: Well I calmed down a little, I'm still nervous though.
