BE THE ONE

A/N. Hey everyone. Ok this is my first fanfic EVER!

In this AU Stefan is not a vampire. He and Elena go to the same school and they both like each other. There will still be the same main characters just no supernatural stuff.

Please review or let me now on twitter what you think and if I should write another chapter or if you have any pointers or ideas for this story. My twitter name is lexipie97. Without further a due here is "Be the One"

11:50, Elena clocked in the Grill 10 minutes before she needed to be there. It was worth it; she would stand at the bar and just watch him. Stefan Salvatore.

Every day he would come in at the same time so he could be there for her shift. He wanted her and she wanted him.

Elena walked up to Stefan's table. He was with Matt and Tyler.

"Hey guys, what can I you?"

"The usual" Matt said with a boyish smile on his face. He still wasn't over the break up. Every now and again she would catch him staring at her. It was kind of creepy.

"Same here" Tyler said then gave her a flirtatious wink. Tyler used to have a huge crush on Elena in the fifth grade. She found that creepy too.

"Well Elena, what would you suggest?" Stefan looked up at her with his big green eyes. Elena could've died there and then. She giggled.

"How about I surprise you?" she said in her most seductive voice.

"Sounds good." he smiled as she walked away.

Elena hurried into the kitchen to find her co-workers and best friends Caroline and Bonnie. When she found them all three jumped and squealed.

"Elena he totally likes you!" Caroline sang as she jumped up and down.

"Totally." Bonnie agreed.

"OK. I said I would surprise him with his food. What do I give him?"

"Other than you, naked in his bed?" Caroline winked at Elena.

"I'm serious Caroline!"

"Why don't you make him your special Gaspacio?" Bonnie suggested with a huge smile on her face.

"But what if he doesn't like it?"

"Elena come on, you're an amazing cook. Once he tastes it, he will be yours."

"OK"

Elena got out all the equipment and began cooking. Even though she was only a waitress, Elena found cooking like therapy. One day she wanted to open her own home-style restaurant.

"Come on dude! You obviously have a thing for her. Why don't you just ask her out?" Tyler gave Stefan a friendly nudge. Stefan had a shy smile on his face as he thought about Elena. Matt gave Tyler an angry stare.

"Her parents just died and she just broke up with her boyfriend, no offense Matt. I don't think she's looking for a relationship right now."

Tyler scoffed "I hear the way those girls speak about you. She wants you. What do you have to lose?" Stefan looked at Matt. He didn't want to hurt his oldest friend.

"Seriously dude, just ask her. The worse she can say is no." Stefan was a bit taken back by what Matt had said. He was devastated when she dumped him.

"Alright I'll do it. But what do we do? Movies? Bowling?"

"Take her to Amy's party tomorrow, if the date gets awkward you can always ditch her and come hang with us." Stefan laughed at Tyler's suggestion, so did Matt.

Elena brought the food and placed it on the guys' table.

"Enjoy." She said while staring into Stefan's eyes as he stared back.

"OK, here's the game plan. Matt and I will start walking. You'll stay back and ask Elena to the party. And don't take no for an answer!" Tyler was getting all hyped up. Stefan nodded then laughed, he was getting pretty excited himself. He had wanted to take Elena out since the tenth grade but Matt had already beaten him to it.

"OK here she comes." Matt and Tyler got up.

"See you later Stefan." He said that loud enough for Elena to hear.

Elena walked up to get the cheque and saw that Stefan was still sitting there.

"How was the Gaspacio?" Elena asked as Stefan got up.

"It was amazing, my compliments to the chef."

"Thanks." Elena regretted those words as soon as they left her mouth. She didn't want Stefan to know that she had cooked it especially for him, she thought she would look desperate.

"You made it? Elena you are an amazing cook!" he grinned at her

"Thank you." Elena smiled as her cheeks turned a bright shade of red.

"So, do you have a date for Amy's party tomorrow?"

"No, I don't." Elena knew where this was going.

"Good. I'll pick you up at 7"

Stefan walked away before she could say anything. He had his adorable boy-next-door smile on. He knew she would be his.

Caroline and Bonnie had been helping Elena get ready since 10 that morning. They had been preparing for Stefan and Elena's first date since they could remember.

Elena wore a tight red dress that showed her long legs and a little bit of cleavage since Caroline insisted that the dress would be boring without it.

There was a knock at the door. He was ten minutes early, Stefan obviously doesn't understand how much of a difference ten minutes can make.

"Go get 'em tiger." Caroline couldn't contain her excitement about this date.

On the outside he kept his composure, but on the inside Stefan was freaking out. Elena's Aunt Jenna opened the door. Stefan always liked Jenna. She was the cool aunt that everyone liked to hang around.

"Hey Stefan, please come in. how have you been? The last time I saw you, you were an acne covered 16 year old teenager."

Stefan cringed at the thought of his 16 year old self.

"I've been good Jenna. I'm sorry about you sister and brother-in-law." Stefan gave her a hug.

"Thanks Stefan, that means a lot. I know how close you were to them."

Stefan did miss Elena's parents. After his had died they were like parents to him and his older brother Damon.

Stefan's jaw dropped as Elena walked down the stairs. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen

"Hi." She said as she gave him a sexy smile.

"Wow"

Elena blushed and giggled.

"You look absolutely amazing."

"Thanks, so do you." Stefan wore a white dress shirt and black jeans. He wished he would've dressed more formal to try and measure up to Elena's level of amazing but he knew there was no way that would happen. She walked up to Stefan and gave him a peck on the cheek. Was that too much? Had she freaked him out? But Stefan smiled.

"Should we go?" Stefan asked as he extended his elbow, Elena wrapped her arm around his and they began walking. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Have fun you two." Jenna called out after them. Elena turned back and blew a kiss to her.
