She was about to push him away when he suddenly jumped off of her. Bonnie looked up at him and saw that he had a territorial look on his face. Damon was staring angrily at a young man with tousled blond hair and hauntingly blue eyes. His t-shirt fit him snugly and he had a very friendly smile on his face.

"Hi, I'm Jake," he said as he held out his hand to Bonnie, "I'm new here in Mystic Falls and it's very nice to meet you."

"I'm Bonnie," she replied to him as they shook hands. Then, she sighed, "And this is Damon."

Jake turned to Damon to give him a smile but Damon had already left. Jake turned to Bonnie and said," I guess your boyfriend doesn't like me."

"Oh, we're not dating. He is super annoying and almost all of my friends hate him. But, just ignore him, he enjoys getting people annoyed."

Jake laughed out loud. It was nice ringing sound, a good change to Damon's signature smirk. "Well, if you're not dating, then may I have this dance?"

Bonnie smiled back at him and replied, "I'd be honored." The two of them headed out to the dance floor. Dancing with Jake felt as if she were flying through the clouds. Bonnie didn't know how she was feeling but she knew that she liked Jake.

"Do you want to go outside and enjoy the fresh air?" she asked.

"Sure," he answered.

They both went outside. The wind was blowing gently rustling the leaves in the trees. There was a beautiful full moon and air smelled like roses. Bonnie looked over at Jake. He was looking at the full moon too, but not the way she was looking at it. He was looking at it with almost a longing gaze. Bonnie couldn't help herself and she shivered; goose bumps crawling on her arms. Jake took off his jacket and said, "Here, you look like you're cold."

"Thanks," she said," but won't you need it?"

"It's okay," he replied, "I'll see you soon anyway. Now I really have to go."

"Wait!" she called out but Jake just kissed the top of her head and left; walking quickly at first but then breaking into a run.

"Bonnie!" someone called her, "there you are! Come on, it's time to leave." Bonnie turned around and saw Elena and Caroline running towards her. Stefan was following them, but slowly since he considered loud and bubbly things childish.

Bonnie smiled at the sight of her friends. She pulled Jake's jacket more tightly around her and walked toward her friends. They all walked toward Stefan car and got into it.

"You'll never believe what Damon did," Caroline said unable to hold in her juicy piece of gossip any longer.

"What did he do now?" Stefan asked almost exasperated.

"He—," Caroline started to reply but….
