Damon p.o.v

"You sure you want to do this?" Stefan asked.

"No not at all but when has that ever stopped me." I said. Stefan sighed.

"There are other vampires there so be careful." Stefan said.

"Yeah I got that. You've told me a million times." I said, annoyed now by his repetition. Leaving Mystic Falls, my brother Stefan, and Elena would be… okay let's skip the part where I lie and say it'd be hard. I grabbed my bag, filled with blood packs, a change of clothes, and some money, and headed out the door.

"Where you going?" I heard Elena's brother, Jeremy call after me.

"I'm leaving town for a while." I said.

"What for?" he asked.

"You and Elena just love playing 20 Questions huh?" I said. He shrugged.

"Just curious, that's all." he said.

"Well if you must know, I don't really have a particular reason for going." I said. He shrugged again then turned to Stefan.

"Is Elena here? Jenna's looking for her." he said.

"No I think she's with Bonnie." Stefan said. I was at my car now when Jeremy jogged over.

"Mind giving me a lift?" he asked.

"Uh… yeah." I said.

"Thanks." he said, ignoring me and getting in anyway. I sighed and, instead of going around and pulling him out, I just let him have his way.

Jasper p.o.v

"You're doing it again." Edward whispered. I sighed

"I'm not exactly sure how not to." I whispered back. He shrugged. I tried to focus until the bell rang. I looked at the clock. Twenty minutes. All I had to do was not look at her for twenty minutes and I'd survive... until lunch anyway. I managed to focus for a little while. I looked at the clock again. Ten minutes. I sighed. Time seemed to crawl by. I glanced at her. That was it. Or at least i thought it was. I could feel my brother's eyes burning into the back of my head. "Yeah Emmett I know." I whispered, knowing he'd hear me. I looked at the clock again. Five minutes. I sighed again. Finally the bell rang. I was free.

"Glad that's over with." Emmett said. "I mean, c'mon Jasper. Everyday?" he asked.

"Shut up Emmett. It's not my fault." I said.

"Why don't you just talk to her?" he asked.

"You know why I can't." I said. He sighed.

"You gotta break the rules every once in a while. Besides, you're only talking to her. It's not like you're gonna take her into the trees or something." Emmett said. I rolled my eyes. I had a whole period to figure out what to do at lunch.

"You'll figure something out... sooner or later." Edward said, reading my mind. I sure hoped so. Of course, the next class held a new kind of torture. Mike Newton. I knew, of course, that he didn't stand a chance. I also that knew that if she had to choose from me or him, I'd win for sure. But he annoyed me to no end. It seemd like it was his life's ambition. When I walked into the room I could feel his eyes on me. I expected him to say something. But he didn't. Suddenly his eyes shifted to something behind me. Or someone, rather.

"Who's he?" Mike whispered to me, as if I'd know. I shrugged.

The teacher introduced him as Damon Salvatore. He looked warily around the classroom. He didn't want to be here. But there was something about him. Suddenly his eyes met mine, for only a second, and I knew what it was. He was a vampire... and not like me and my brothers. This couldn't be good.
