"Ellie Montgomery?" He asked shaking his head. She didn't find it funny at all, but whatever. It was what she had to work with seeing as it would be hard as hell to fake papers for her "parents" it was so much easier changing her own last name.

"Yeah. Yeah. It sounds prissy, I know." She admitted rolling her eyes as they walked through the door to her first class of high school. History. Funny how she was going to ace this class in her sleep.

"No, not at all!" he exclaimed quickly stealing the pair of them seats beside each other. How nice. At least she wouldn't have to pretend to be nice to anyone else for awhile. "So is your dad a Senator or Representative?" He asked flashing her what she could only describe as the smile of a golden lab. Cute, but still much like a dog."You know what?" She asked curiously raising an eyebrow, "You're a jerk!" It was meant teasingly, but she had to make sure she had a playful smile on her lips just in case he didn't catch on. "In fact, he's a lawyer. So I hope you're happy."

"Hmm," He said softly as he ran a hand through his hair shaking his head as he leaned towards her, "Nope. I'd rather he was a politician. More prissy.""Class," A young man, who Elle quickly assumed was the teacher, strode across the front of the room and caused the class to quickly fall quiet. "We have a new student, Miss. Elleona Montgomery." A quick gesture towards her seat was all the limelight this man would allow but for that she was quietly thankful. While she could be outgoing and bubbly, today she just wanted to be on the down low as much as possible. "Now can anyone inform her of what we're learning?" He asked curiously as he raised an eyebrow.

A hand quickly shot in the air, "Ancient civilizations." Turning around she saw that a young woman answered it, she also guessed this young woman was one of the nosiest girls around. Ancient civilizations? She only wondered how ancient they were going.

That was how most of her day went though. Jeremy teasing her, the teacher making a quick introduction, and someone in the class telling her what they were learning. It was easy to seem lost though in class as she raked her hand through her hair letting out a heavy sigh that quickly caught Jeremy's attention. "Just think tomorrow all of this will make more sense. After all I heard that you got the most amazing tutor." He offered softly as he flashed her a wicked grin that made her shake her hair with a light laugh.

"I highly doubt you can make any of this make sense in one night. I might as well shoot myself now. So much easier." She pointed out grinning as she looked over at him knowing it wasn't that easy.

"Hmm, are you doubting my tutoring skills?" He asked curiously as he flicked his pencil between two fingers, she wondered how he did that. After all it looked easy enough.

"Never!" She quickly exclaimed in her hushed whisper, "I doubt my skills at picking up knowledge.

"Do you understand?" He asked for what was at least the twentieth time. Truth be told she did understand, she had for hundreds of years, but laying on his bed with him beside her was quite nice.

Laughing slightly she looked up to meet his soft brown eyes, "I'm completely hopeless!" She exclaimed shaking her head.

"Not hopeless, just behind. It's understandable, Elles." Reaching over he grabbed his pencil to begin the explanation again.

Stealing the pencil from his grip she flashed an innocent smile, "Break time?" She asked innocently before rolling over on her back with a tiny groan.

"Really? A break? Math doesn't take a break," he pointed out playfully as he carefully shifted his weight to lay on her grinning happily, "Such a pretty girl. You know what? I think you act stupid to spend with me." The look he gave her then was much like a playful puppy as he dropped his jaw leaning closer to her, "You know all you have to do is ask.""Really?" She asked curiously titling her head gently before leaning up to kiss his cheek softly, "Spend time with me?" She asked softly as she left her head land back on the pillow smiling.

"I have to think about it," But by the moment he finished his last word the bedroom door was slammed open and he was across the room with Ellie against the wall and Damon trying to choke her.

"Ona."
