Chapter two.
It's been three days already but Elena still haven't seen Stefan.. She's getting anxious about it, she's hoping to see him today. Elena woke up and get dressed. After getting dressed, she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Jeremy walked in the bathroom and saw Elena brushing her teeth. He and Elena's rooms are both connected to the bathroom.
"Good morning sis." Jeremy asked and patted on Elena's shoulder.
"Hey! Stopped patting! And good morning to you too Jer."
"Why are so grumpy lately or at least acting weird." Jeremy noticed Elena's acting weird and grumpy but he doesn't know why.
"Me acting grumpy? I'm not. It's just... stress. That's all."
"Okay." Jeremy didn't believed what Elena said. "I'll take what you said."
Elena rolled her eyes and went downstairs and eat her breakfast.
"Good morning Aunt Jenna!" she walked past Jenna and grabbed a cup of coffee.
"Morning. I'm heading out to meet my professor. I promised to help him with something."
"Oh okay. And by the way, where's Jeremy?"
"Oh he said he had to leave early because he have to finish his wood shop to finish a birdhouse or something." Elena gave Jenna a confused look and it clicked. "There is no wood shop, is there." Elena shake her head and said "No."
There's a loud car beeping and Elena knew it's Bonnie. Bonnie is Elena's best friend and she drive her to school everyday. Elena walked towards the door and saw Bonnie in her car.
"Hey Bonnie." Elena smiled at Bonnie. "Hey Elena. You seemed different."
Elena opened the car door. "How different?" she fastened her seat belt.
"You seemed feisty and happy. Did something happened that I didn't know about?"
"No Bonnie.. Matt and I broke up last night and somehow I felt kind of relieved. That's it. Nothing really happened."
"I'm sorry to hear that buy hey, maybe you, me and Caroline can have sleepover or something."
"Sure! I'd love that! It's been a while since we've had a sleepover and I miss that. We should ask Caroline about it later at school."
"Yeah. Now let's go or we're gonna be late.
Bonnie started her car engine and dive. They talked along the car ride.
Stefan knew that he promised to see Elena after that day but he didn't. He didn't went to school for the past three days because he was dealing with his uncle's funeral. His uncle's death came so sudden that Stefan was unprepared for. He was depressed for the whole three days. His uncle is like his closest family. He have been taking care of Damon and him since their parents' death.
Stefan heard a knock on the door and saw Damon.
"Little bro, you've gotta go to school. You can't sit here all day and just, brood."
"I know Damon. And no. I'm not going to sit here all day and brood. I'm going back to school today."
Damon clapped his hands as a sign of happiness because he couldn't stand his brother brooding in the house. "Good! You're gonna need to fix yourself and be hurry or else you're gonna be late." And Damon walked back out.
After fixing himself and everything. Stefan drove back to school. Thank god he wasn't late. Before he could continue and walked to the school's entrance, he heard a voice coming behind.
"Hey!" Stefan turned around and saw those beautiful brown eyes looking at him. He couldn't stopped staring at it. He got out of his trance and said "Hey!" he smiled at her.
Stefan saw Elena blushed a little. "I haven't seen you like in three days. You promised me! Remember?" Elena grinned a little.
"I know and I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you. I promised."
"It's fine Stefan. I'm just teasing around. Is everything okay?" Stefan could sensed she was asking him the question sincerely.
"Yeah. Family issue. I'll talk to you later maybe?"
"Yeah sure." Stefan patted her shoulder and walked away.
Elena was confused by his actions.
It's now history lesson and Elena is sitting next to the window. She likes sitting there because sometimes she likes to look out the window and admire the door bell rang and the history walked in the room. Elena looked over and saw the history. He's new. Elena then mouthed to Bonnie's direction and asked. "A new history teacher? Bonnie looked at now and mouthed back "I don't know." Elena looked back at the front and right before the new history could introduce his name. She saw him. Stefan.
Stefan knocked on the door and said "I'm sorry I was late." Stefan said apologetically.
"It's fine. Mr?" the history asks. "Salvatore."
"Now Mr Salvatore go and find yourself a seat."
Stefan looked over the room and saw there's a spare seat next to her. Elena. Stefan walked over there to Elena's direction. "Is this seat taken?" he gave Elena a smirk and she blushed a little. Again.
"No it's not. I did't know you're in this history class."Elena asked shocked.
Stefan chuckled. "Neither do I. I told you we're bound to have at least one class together."
"Yeah you did."
"Elena, I'm sorry I broke the promise and I'll make it up to you. Meet me at the gym later after lunch maybe?"
"Okay. I'll meet you then."
"Good."
The rest of class went smoothly. Elena and Stefan sometimes exchanged looks. After the class, Stefan hurried out and Elena couldn't catch him.
Elena saw the Caroline outside the classroom. She remembered what she and Bonnie talked about earlier in the car. She called out her name. "Care!" Caroline turned her head around and paced quickly to Elena and hugged. She hugged Elena like they haven't seen each other since forever. "Elena! I heard about you and Matt. Are you okay?"
I shot her a confused look. "Bonnie told me. And that you and her are planning on a sleepover tonight."
"Yeah about that first I'm fine about the breakup. Second, that's what I'm about the ask you. Are you in?"
"Of course I'm in! Why would you ask such silly question?" Elena giggled and said "I'm afraid you've got plans tonight."
"I don't have any plans."
I looked over the men room direction and saw Stefan. "Stef-" Caroline cut me off. "Stefan! Babe!" Stefan's eyes wandered and saw Caroline and me. He walked to our direction and I'm shaking. Caroline just called Stefan babe.
"Hey babe! Where were you the last three days? I haven't seen you around school."
"You know home." Stefan put on a forced smile. It wasn't like the one h gave Elena.
"Elena, this is my boyfriend Stefan. Stefan, this is Elena."
"Oh I know Elena. We have history together."
"Yeah we have." Elena's feeling a rage of jealousy roaming inside of her. But why? "I'm sorry but I have something to do. I'll see you tonight?" Elena directed the question to Caroline. "Yeah sure."
Elena walked past Stefan and he whispered in her ear "Meet me at the gym at lunch and I'll explain everything. I promise." Elena felt shivers and nodded slightly.
Before Elena knew it, it was lunch already. She went to the gym and waited for Stefan. She was there early because she didn't want to be late. She saw Stefan walking towards her now. She smiled a little.
"Sorry I was late. My bio teacher Mr Haward was hosting me hostage." I chuckled a little.
"It's fine I was here early so yeah. You said you would explain everything. So..."
"Yeah I promised you. I wasn't at school for the past three days because I was dealing with my uncle's funeral. I wasn't in a mood for school so I bailed for the last three days. I didn't even tell Caroline about it." Elena noticed there are some tears cornering up in his beautiful green eyes.
"I'm sorry to hear hat. Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm getting there. My uncle was the one who raised me and Damon ever since my parents passed away." Stefan's now looking down the floor. "Enough about that. I have to tell you about Caroline now. We're in a relationship. She's the girl who have been there for me and didn't mind if I'm the guy who played the mascot or not. But lately I feel like things between us have changed."
Stefan noticed the curiosity in Elena's eyes. "Like what?"
Stefan paused for a moment. "Like something is missing. It wasn't the love that I was looking for. I love her, really. But not the kind of fall in love."
"I want to feel like falling in love too. Matt and I weren't really like everyone says it was. Everyone thinks we're the prefect couple. The captain of the football team and the head cheerleader. I loved Matt once but then he changed. He flirts with every girl. He wasn't the Matt I used to know anymore. I think falling in love is a romantic thing. You'll feel like you're complete. Every part of you." Elena looked at him, feeling kinda embarrassed saying things like that. "I'm sorry, you must think it's cheesy. Falling in love."
Stefan looked at her smiling. "No it's not. I don't think it's cheesy at all. I think you're cute. I like you." Elena blushed a little. "I like you too. You seemed really nice."
"Why thank you Miss Gilbert. Here give me your phone."
Elena just gave Stefan her phone without hesitation. She saw Stefan typing something in but couldn't figured out what.
"Here. I gave you my phone number and you can text me whenever you want."
"That's sweet and give me yours."
Stefan handed his phone to hers and watched her typed her number into his phone. "I gave mine to you and you can call me whenever you want."
"Elena?"
"Yeah?'
"Are you free tomorrow night?"
"Yeah why?"
"I wanted to take you some place that might cheer you up."
Elena looked at him strangely. "Why would you think that place might cheer me up?"
"It's just that, you seemed sad. Anyway, are you free tomorrow night?"
"Yeah sure why not."
"Good!" Stefan smiled and hugged her all of a sudden. Elena flinched a little but soon relaxed.
"I'll text you my address then I'll bring you to the place."
"Okay."
Bonnie and Caroline came over to Elena's house for the sleepover. They had pizzas for dinner. They watched a several chick flicks. They talked about boys' problems, most of all.
"So Caroline, you never told us about your boyfriend!" Bonnie shot Caroline a glare, indicating she's angry for her not telling.
"I'm sorry Bonnie."
"Fine, I forgive you. So tell me about this hottie." Bonnie winked at Caroline.
"He's nice, sweet, loving and caring. I really love him. But lately he seemed distant to me. I feel like things between us have changed and we don't even know about it."
"So what are you going to do Care?" Elena asked her while she's pouring popcorn into a bigger bowl.
"I don't know Elena. Maybe I should go and talk to him. Figure out what the problems are."
"Maybe you should. Honesty is what relationships based on right?" Bonnie said.
"Yeah maybe you're right. Enough with my problems, are we gonna watch a few more chick flicks or what?"
Their sleepover mainly include chick flicks, boys' problems, painting their nails. Girly stuffs.
Bonnie and Caroline are already sounded asleep and Elena's getting ready to sleep when she received a text from Stefan.
Stefan: Hey am I bothering you?
Elena texted back him without an instant.
Elena: No you're not.
Stefan: Good. I already texted you the address and remember to show up. (:
Elena; I'll keep that in mind.
Stefan: So how was the slumber or sleepover. Whatever you call it.
Elena: Haha. It was good. I feel like I'm five years old again.
Stefan: Glad to hear that. Can't wait for tomorrow!
Elena: Yeah! No surprises. I'm not a fan of surprises.
Stefan: Yes ma'am! Now go to sleep. You're gonna need your beauty sleep.
Elena: Yeah, you're probably right. Goodnight Stefan. xo
Stefan: Goodnight Elena.
Elena put down her phone on the nightstand. She put on her silly smile and drifted off to sleep.
Stefan put down his phone and he saw Damon standing next to the door frame. "Am I bothering something?" he smirked at Stefan.
Stefan rolled his eyes. "Actually you are. I'm getting ready to sleep and here you are, disturbing me."
"Brother, I think you're hiding something from me."
"I guess you'll just have to find that out by yourself."
"I knew there's something off about you. You seemed feisty which it odd because you're always broody."
"Funny, now get out I need to sleep now."
"Fine whatever." And Damon just walked out of Stefan's bedroom.
Stefan couldn't help but just rolled his eyes. All Stefan could think about is he'll see Elena again. He put on a smile and went to sleep.
They both are excited about their sort-of-kind-of date. They couldn't be more happier.
Are Elena and Stefan falling for each other? They both aren't sure about it. Probably yes.
They'll just have to figure it out themselves.
So here's chapter two. It's kinda short. What do you think it'll happen between Caroline and Stefan? Do you think something will happen when Stefan took Elena to the place? Reviews? (:
