Chapter 1: I'm no longer a little kid.

Elena's POV

Today would be a good day, I would be a normal college girl... I was sitting at the fountain in the courtyard, when a really cute guy came up to me. I look up from my books and he says. "Hey." He said it as if I knew him from somewhere, but now that I've thought about it he looked a little familiar.

"Hi?" I say still trying to put my finger on why he had looked so familiar.

"Oh, I'm sorry you probably don't remember me... I'm Stefan, Caroline's boyfriend." A relieved look ccame across my face, because to be honest I thought he would've been a seriel killer, a rapist, or just some drunk that was trying to hit on me.

"Hi," I say once again. "I'm Elena. sorry I didn't remember you, we saw eachother for like five seconds before Caroline took you away to go do something." I look back down at my books, trying not to think about what they might have been doing...

Stefan leans up against the tree that had been standing there, and clears his throat. "Hey um, I know we kind of just met and all but, I was wondering if you wanted to meet my brother?" I look uo again in shock.

"Are you setting me up?" I say. I don't really know if I should trust Stefan or not because what if his brother was just this promiscuous guy, who was just in relationships because he was bored.

Stefan had this look on his face that was different like he wasn't suprised that I had asked that... Like as if he had been trying to set up his brother for a while. "Maybe. But I thought you'd get along with him." He says... I was surprised.

"Sure I'd love to meet him." I said that?! Oh my god I wasn't even thinking! But I guess that I thought maybe if Stefan was this nice then maybe his brother would be nice too...

"Great! How's Friday? At the Mystic Grill?" Stefan says... I look into his green eyes and say, "Sure, sounds great!"

I can't believe that I just set myself up for a blind date! After Stefan leaves, I go back up to my dorm where I find Caroline, sitting on my bed. "Okay I have this feeling that you sent him down to talk to me about his brother?"

Caroline looks at me with a guilty face. "Pfft, why would you say that?" She says sarcastically... We just sat there for a second. Before we both jump up and kinda sream like two fangirls. "Well are you excited?"

I look at her excited but really I was nervous like never before. "A little, I mean it's a blind date who isn't nervous for those. But I'm also excited because, Stefan's nice and you know what they always say older siblings are role models for the younger ones." I say as I put my books back onto the shelf Caroline always put our school books.

Caroline walks up to me and places her hand on my shoulder. "Yea, thats true... Just remember what happened with Matt, you know you still need to be careful..." I roll my eyes because that's why I was so nervous about her dating Stefan, I didn't want her to get someone like Matt... A cheating dirt bag.

"I know, I know, Care... But I don't think that anyone is going to be as bad as Matt, I mean he was dating three different girls at one time, and it took seven months for anyone to even notice he was acting weird." I say as she hugs me, when she finally lets go, she grabs a water out of the fridge.

Time flies by faster than normal this week. It was already Friday and I had to find something to wear. I don't want to be one of those girls who only cares about what I wear, but I'm going on a blind date and I really don't want Caroline to pick my outfit... She'd probably pick something so revealing that all the guys would be saying there my blind date, and I don't want that. So I picked something casual, more casual than usual. I'm not sure why I chose something so casual but I did.

A few minutes pass and I grab my keys and my phone, and make my way to my car. I get in and sit there for a few minutes thinking what to say or do...

Twenty minutes later I push open the door to the Grill, stepping inside... There are barely any people in there, so it should be easy to find Stefan's brother from his discription...

I look around for a moment before seeing a man, he has ravin black hair and bright blue eyes...

I go up to him and say "Hi!" Really that's seriously what I came up with!? And I didn't even know if this was Stefan's brother!

"Who are you?" He says. With a confused look on his face.

I'm really embarrassed, but my loud mouth just kept talking. "I-I'm Elena, Stefan is kinda setting us up..." Did I seriously just say that?! I mean if this wasn't Stefan's brother then this guy would probably think I'm crazy! But he was really cute... That was an understatement... But Stefan didnt even bother to give me his brother's name!

He looks up from whatever he was doing and stared at me for a few seconds, he kind of clears his throat. "I'm Damon." He looked at me like he was speechless. Like I was wearing a ball gown or something. Like he liked what he was seeing. "And not in the mood for a girlfriend..." I didn't say anything quite yet but in my head I was frowning, I didn't like that in my head I was frowning but I couldn't help it, he was cute, and he seemed nice, and I think I had a crush on him.

I think about it more and try to just play it cool, "Okay well neither am I, but Caroline has been spending so much time with your brother that, she doesn't really hang out with me much...So, it would at least be nice to have a new friend?" I think I played it cool, not upset, not desperate, not jumping into anything.

He looks into my eyes and hesitates before he says "Okay I guess we're friends then." I smile this, and I'm pretty positive that he noticed.

The rest the night was short, we played two games pool. And I'm pretty sure I liked at the end the night then I did at the beginning of the night.
