Elena POV
I still can't believe what happened last night. Last night I kissed the one and only Damon Salvatore! The guy I've had a crush on since the 5th grade! And to top it all off he seemed into it. I didn't get one blink of sleep last night. I was too busy thinking about his beautiful eyes and his lips. Oh his lips! I just wished I wasn't such a coward and I just stayed longer.
Today at school I was talking with Caroline by my locker when I saw Damon arrive in his blue Camaro. Wearing his leather jacket and black sunglasses he seemed so intimidating. He was staring at me weirdly and for a split second I thought I saw a look of nerve come upon his face. But all I did was frown and looked away. He will never feel the way I do about him.
"Elena! Earth to Elena!" Caroline shouted at me waving her hand over my face pulling me out of my daze. "Were you just exchanging looks with Damon?" I was thinking of something to say but I just frowned and turned to get books from my locker. "So, you were! I knew you felt something for him! I called it!" "Look, Caroline… Not like it's any of your business-" I began but Caroline interrupted me. "-but it is! I am your best friend and if you can't tell me something then you should just forget about it!" I mean it made sense. Maybe she was right. "You know what you're right. I'm done drooling over, Damon. I mean I bet last night meant nothing to him!" Just then the bell rang and I headed to my favorite class. History class.
Damon POV
I sat in the classroom anxiously waiting for all the students to come all piling in. When I heard the bell I embraced myself for everyone to come pouring in. Just as I expected they all came in a minute later. But to my surprise, the one student I was waiting for hasn't come yet. She's usually one of the first people here. I wondered if everything was okay. But I didn't let my thoughts overcome me because just then Elena came in running to the desk in front of me out of breath. She looked back at me probably because she could feel me staring at her.
"Alright, class." Mr Saltzman began, "Please turn to page 355 and read to page 358 while I talk to Ms. Gilbert." The whole class did as he said so and Elena sat up like she was walking to her grave.
A few minutes later…
Elena and Mr. Saltman came back minutes later. But to me it felt like hours. Elena came into the room staring at me weird. And I knew why. Mr. Saltzman probably told her I suggested her and know she probably thinks I'm a stalker. Great… Why did I do this again?
After a long and boring history class, Elena came up to me in the hallway. "Hey, so when do you want to meet for our tutoring session?" She asked shyly. I blinked making sure this wasn't my mind playing games with me. She actually said yes… I started to grow a goofy grin on my face but it quickly disappeared when she started to look around impatiently. Did Mr. Saltzman force her to tutor me? "Uh…" I stood there trying to think of something to say. "You know what, you can text me." And with that she walked away. I looked at my feet wondering why I was acting this way. This is all that stupid games fault.
At lunch, I sat at a table with my best guy friends, Kol, Nick, and Enzo. They were talking about some chick Kol was going out with. I looked at where Elena was sitting. She was sitting with the cheerleading squad who consists of Bonnie, Vicki, Jenna, Rebecka, Liv, and Caroline. I still can't get over the fact that Elena's friends with that airhead. I roll my eyes even thinking about Miss Barbie. I frown when I notice my brother takes a seat at their table. I wish I had enough confidence to go up to their table. My frown turns into a face of disgust when I notice Elena gushing over that new kid, Kai.
Kai was sitting alone. But it seemed like he wanted it that way. He was wearing all dark clothes and he was quietly reading in the corner of the cafeteria. Kai came to this school this year in the beginning of the second trimester. He and Elena had a lot in common. They both were know it alls, they both were shy, and they were both part of the student council. His sister, Jo, is the school nurse here. Normally I will see him hanging with his sister during free periods. Part of me feels bad for him since he has no friends. But the other half also knows he has a thing for Elena. At least that's what Kol heard from his sister Rebecka.
Now I don't know what came over me but I thought it would be brilliant to go over to Kai and maybe scare him off discreetly. "Hey man." I say sitting down at his table. He looks up from he book he was reading and stares at me weirdly. I look at my friends and they are all staring at me like I was crazy. "Um… I think you have the wrong person." And with that he went back to his book. "Are you Kai O'Keefe?" I ask. "Yeah…" He said still probably in shock someone was talking to him. "Then I do have the right person." He slowly dropped his book to stare at me. "So, what do you want? Lunch money? I'm sorry I don't have any." I saw him reaching for his book but I swatted his hand away. "No. I wanted to talk to you about Elena Gilbert." God I love saying her name. His eyes widened and he started to blush. "What about her?" He said trying to keep his cool. "The word on the street is you have a little crush on her."
"Why are you talking to me about this?" He questioned like he was mortified. "Answer my question, Twilight." Kai looked offended but calmed down before he said anything. "Does everyone know?" He asked slightly panicked. I nodded and gave him a cocky smile. He put his hands in his face. "Oh god! Does she know? Do you think she's into me? No that's silly. She's a goddess and I'm blegh!" He said making a face. Wow he really is into her.
"Dude, calm down. I heard she totally likes you back. And I could know for sure since she's my tutor. I could totally put in a word for you. If you want?" I said raising my eyebrow. "You would do that? I mean I would do it myself but I'm not that confident. You see one time when I was six I-" God this guy talks a lot. "Shut up and listen!" I began, "Let me put in a good word about you in our next tutoring session. I'll give you a update on Thursday. Got it?" His eyes turned hopeful and my plan was beginning to take action. I got up and walked over to to the cheerleaders with a cocky smile.
"Hello, ladies." I say. "Hi, Damon!" Vicki squealed. She has liked me forever and I slept with her once. Let's just say I haven't spoken to her since. My brother stares at me clearly annoyed with his arms around Barbie. My brother and I have never really gotten along well.
"Hey, Elena." I say sitting next to her. "What, Damon?" She said embarrassed. "Damon, back off she's not interested!" Miss Bubblehead squeaked. She was giving me a death stare but I ignored her and turned back to Elena. "Meet me tonight at the Grill for our little session." I winked and got up. I gave Elena one last look before I left. God Kai was right. She is like a goddess.
Elena POV
Today has been a lot. First of all Mr. Saltzman told me Damon requested for me to be his tutor. I only accepted because Mr. Saltzman told me he would give me extra credit for it. Then today at lunch, Caroline decided the best way to move on from a crush is to find a new one. She pointed Kai out. He was cute but he was nothing compared to Damon. I know him from student council and he's my lab partner. I looked at Damon and he was looking at me in disgust.I looked away to listen to a story Bonnie was telling when Caroline nudged me to look at Kai. And right there sitting with him was Damon. I wonder what he was doing talking to Kai. Not too long ago his friends played an awful prank on Kai making him lose his temper and start screaming at everyone. Since then everybody was scared to even look at him. And to top it all of later tonight I'm meeting Damon at the Grill to tutor him.
When I got to the grill I saw him at a table looking anxious. I cautiously walked over to him and sat down next to him. He had that nervous look on his face again. I pulled out the textbooks out of my book bag and started to teach him about the Mystic Falls war. I could tell he wasn't paying attention since all he did was stare at me the whole time. Which made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's move onto the founding families and their roles in the war." I say quickly just wanting to get this over with. He groaned very loudly. I raised my eyebrow at him. "This is all boring. Can't we take a break? Maybe get to know each other?" He had that playfull glint in his eyes. I rolled my eyes. "No, Damon, you need to focus!" I say sternly. "Ugh, fine." There was a slight pause when his eyes suddenly light up. "Oh btw. That means by the way for your information," I roll my eyes at his childish behavior. "You have a secret admirer" He stated mischievously. "I don't need to know that." I try not to think about it but I give in. "Fine. Who is it?" He gave me a knowingly look. "That weird kid Kai O'Keefe." He said in a disgusted tone. I winced at the way he insulted him and acted like he was a freak. "Oh," I didn't know what to say. I mean Rebecka told me that already. Wait is that what Damon and Kai were talking about at lunch?
"Anyways, he wants to go out with you… Maybe around Saturday at six?" I was surprised but I felt like something was off about what he was saying. "Why won't he say this to my face?" "Because he's shy." I debate on going but I need to get over my stupid crush on Damon. "Well, tell him I'll see him there." Damon looked surprised and confused. "Really?!" I just couldn't stand Damon tonight. I get up and leave. I don't need Damon telling me how weird Kai is right now.
When I get home Kai is in my living room. "Hey, you're home." He said getting up from my couch. "Who let you in?" I asked confused. "I did, sweetheart." My mom said joyfully coming from the kitchen. "He was asking to see you." "Oh." I didn't know what to say. To be honest I thought Kai would be too nervous to do this sorta thing. "I came to ask if you would like to come on a date with me… Tonight." "Tonight?! But it's a school night and Damon said-" I was very confused. "I don't trust Damon. I mean he clearly likes you and I don't need him ruining this for me. Honestly I'm freaking out right now. Not gonna lie." He said swinging his arms. Wait… Damon likes me? You know what? Fuck it! "Okay let's go." I slipped my arm around his and headed out. Take this Damon Salvatore...
