Elena: Morning Jenna, I made us some breakfast.
Jenna: Thanks. I didn't think you would be up yet. At least not for a few more minutes
Elena stopped eating to look at Jenna before talking.
Elena: Yeah well, I have to tell you something. I signed up for the teacher/student thing at school. Its everyday for two weeks after school.
Jenna: Ok. How long do you have to stay after?
Elena: As long as needed.
Elena: Hey Care, Hey Bon.
Caroline: Hey.
Bonnie: Hey.
Caroline: Did you buy a stress ball?
Elena: Yeah, I hope this will work.
Later at lunch.
Bonnie: So Elena, how was your morning classes?
Elena: They were fine, math was a little boring but they were fine.
Caroline: Same here.
Bonnie: Count me in on that.
They all laughed.
Elena: I've already use my stress ball most of today. It really helps out a lot.
She gave a small smile.
Bonnie: That's great!
Caroline: Yeah, I can tell.
Elena: You can? How?
Caroline: You've been using it almost this entire time.
Elena looked down at her left hand.
Elena: Oh, yeah. Right.
She giggled.
The last two classes had gone and passed, and Elena waited until everyone left the class.
Elena: Mr. Mikaelson.
She stepped up to his desk.
Elijah: Miss. Gilbert. What can I do for you?
He gave a slight smile.
Elena: Actually, its what I can do for you.
Elena gave him the paper the office lady gave her.
Elena: So, Is there anything I can do for you. Get you coffee, print some papers, clean the room, something?
Elijah looked up at her hiding his smile. I finally get to spend more time with the lovely Elena. he thought.
Elijah: I was going to clean that file cabinet over there, but I guess since your here you can start with that.
Elena gave a smile and made way to the file cabinet while he started grading work. Elijah, every so often would look up at Elena.
Elena: So, mr. Mikaelson. How long do you stay after school?
Elijah turned to face her.
Elijah: It depends.
Elena: On?
Elijah smiled at her as she turned around.
Elijah: Well seeing as its only been three days of school, I'll say not long. Not that much to grade.
As Elena finished, she closed the file cabinet and set down in her seat.
Elena: How long is not long?
She giggled, causing him to smile.
Elijah: I'll say a few hours.
Elena: Anything else I can do?
Elijah: Unless you want to watch me grade papers for a hour. No, I believe not. Your free to go home.
Elena thought about leaving but decided to stay. She put a big smile on her face.
Elena: Whats an hour. I've got nothing else to do. You look like you could use the company.
Elijah: You would stay here just to keep me company?
Elena giggled.
Elena: You make it sound so bad. I could keep you company and do my homework while you grade work.
Elijah smiled. God, what did I do to deserve this woman. he thought.
Elijah: If you wish.
She pulled out some homework.
Elena: So..tell me about yourself.
Elijah chuckled.
Elijah: What would you like to know?
Elena: Mmm. I don't know. Wife, kids? Childhood stories?
Elijah: Well I don't have a wife or kids. There's not much to say about my childhood, I had pretty average one..but there was this one thing.
Elena starts to look confused. How could he not be married yet? she thought.
Elena: Girlfriend?
Elijah: No girlfriend.
Elena: Huh.
Elijah: What?
Elena: Your love life.
He slightly tilts his head.
Elijah: What of it?
She shakes her head.
Elena: Nothing.
Elijah: And what of your love life?
Elena: I don't have one at the moment.
He smirks at her.
Elijah: Huh?
Elena: What?
Elijah: Nothing.
She laughed as she shook her head.
Elena: Are you tired?
He gives her a nod. Elena frowns a little. She decides to take him to the grill.
Elena: Come on.
She says as she gets up.
Elijah: What?
He says as he starts looking confused.
Elena: We're going to get some coffee, so come on. I'll take you there.
She walks over to him and forced him to his feet.
Elijah: But-
Elena: No buts, your tired and you haven't even finished grading. Now stop talking, this will be good for you.
And with that, she took his hand and led him to her car.
They arrived at the grill not too long after. They went in sat at a booth. The waiter came and took their orders. Elijah looked at her confused and amazed at the same time.
Elena: What?
Elijah: I'm still trying to figure out how you made come here.
Elena smiled.
Elena: Easy. I wasn't going to take no for an answer.
Elijah: I see.
Elena: And even if you did say no, I would've made you anyway.
Elijah: So Elena, tell me something about yourself.
Elena: Umm, my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 18.
Elijah: Well happy early birthday.
She smiled.
Elena: Thanks. I know this is a personal question, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Elijah: Ok.
Elena: How long have you been single?
he tilted his slightly, and cleared his throat.
Elijah: I don't know, I haven't been on a date in a long time.
Elena frowned a little.
Elijah: What?
Elena: Your the total package, and your single.
Elijah choked on his coffee and winced as it burnt his skin. It spilled on his face and neck, causing Elena to laugh.
Elena: Here.
She wiped his face and neck dry. He winced as she did because it still hurt, causing her to laugh a little.
Elena: Aww, want me to kiss it better?
She asked in a sweet sing-song tone.
Elijah: You should be careful, I might just take you up on that offer.
He smirked.
Elena: Hey!
She looked surprised.
Elijah: What? You started it.
Elena: I'll get you back for that, you know.
Elijah: Can't wait.
He smiled at her.
Elena: We should head back now.
Elena dropped him off back at the school. She smiled the whole way home.
AN: What do you think?
