CHAPTER 3: I went into the office with a big smile on my face.
"Morning Mrs. Clarke." I greeted and rested my forearms on the counter so I could look over her desk. She smiled cheerfully at me.
"Hello Stacy. How was Paris?" I smiled even more as I remembered my fun summer.
"Glorious. But the jet lag I had was not so glorious and I missed picking up my schedule." I hinted. She smiled in understanding and started to look through her computer system for my scheldule. Someone came up behind me but Mrs. Clarke held up one finger for them to wait. While she was looking for my time table, I used this opputrtunity to turn around and grinned widely once I saw who it was.
"You're the newbie!" I said in delight. He looked up and seemed to be taken aback.
"Excuse me?" He said with a slight accent. Sounds… Italian. Awesome, he's foreign! I quickly looked him over. He was gorgeous! He had curly dark hair and his facial structure was one of a god! The cheekbones, the nose, the lips… but I couldn't see his eyes. He has sun glasses on. Who wears sunglasses inside? Well besides me that is. and only when I spent the whole night on the computer, watching various videos. I held out my hand and he slowly shook it like he didn't know what to do with it. Or maybe he is a bit of a germophobe. I hope not because I love giving hugs to people!
"No offence or anything. We just don't get many newbies around here. The last one was my friend Celestial and that was over a year and a half ago. I'm Stacy Gilbert and I am so, so sorry for you."
"Why?" He asked instantly. I looked at him weird. He sounds scared for some reason. I shook it off and leaned to the side to see a lot of girls outside. Including my almost clone. I rolled my eyes and faced him again.
"My twin Elena has her eye out for you. And what she wants, she gets. Always." I scowled. "No matter who she has to hurt. She is very irritating. So if you see a girl like me but with blue eyes and straighter hair without my fabulous streak, it's not me. Hey, I just realized I don't know your name." I realized.
"Stefan Salvatore." He said shortly.
"Ooo. So you're my savior." He tilted his head and I laughed.
"Salvatore means savior in Italian right?" He nodded and gave me a small smile. My grin widened. I gotten the newbie to smile at me! Mission completed!
"Here you go Stacy." Mrs. Clarke finally said and handed it to me.
"Thanks Mrs. C." I said cheekily and swiped a few of her candies from her desk dish. She shook her head at me but let it go like always. I've been known to take whatever candy I could and I was like the only one who was able to get away with it because of my 'sweet' personality and whatnot. She looked over at Stefan than back at me with faint repression.
"Turning him against your sister already?" She scolded. I shrugged.
"All I said was true."
"She likes to exaggerate. Elena Gilbert is a lovely girl."
"In public. She is a total ice queen." I argued and sighed. No one ever believes me. I shifted my strap on my bag and headed to the door. I stopped when I got to the handle my hand resting on it before I made a quick decision.
"Good luck Stefan. You're going to need it." I said darkly and pushed the door open. I popped one of the candies and moaned quietly at the taste. Butterscotch, my favorite. I started to walk away but Elena quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side.
"Oww!" I yelped and threw her arm off me.
"What's your problem?" I demanded and rubbed my arm. She gripped my arm really tight. You could see the imprint of her hand on it! She looked at me angrily.
"What's my problem? What's your problem?" She demanded back.
"What?"
"That!" She gestured to the office, or most likely Stefan, wildly. I sighed and narrowed my eyes at him.
"He better not take my candies." I said dangerously. She snapped her fingers in my face.
"Anastasia Rose Gilbert!" My eyes widened. Did she just bring out my full name? I think she did. Well two can play this game.
"Elena Lillian Gilbert!" I shot back, my cheeks turning pink. "We were just talking, chill. His name is Stefan Salvatore meaning he's Italian and I warned him about you." I said angrily. Her mouth fell open.
"What? Why?" I yanked my hair so I didn't do anything I would regret or get in trouble for later. More the last one though.
"Because you're you and ugh! I need to get to class." I groaned and turned the other way. I saw Stefan coming out and his eyes widened at my appearance. My cheeks red with anger, my eyes narrowed and hair a mess plus the nice red mark on my arm. I looked like a hot mess in a matter of minutes. This is so not good for my rep. I faced him as I almost was out of view from him.
"Watch out." I said darkly. He nodded and started walking towards Elena. She prepped herself up but it was all worthless when he just walked past her without even looking. I burst out into laughter and I tried to stifle out, hurrying to Algebra 2.
"What happened?" Justin demanded, sitting on top of his desk. I walked over to him and used his shoulder to quiet my laughter.
"Stefan totally snubbed Elena in the hall!" I cried quietly into his ear.
"The newbie?" I nodded and wiped away my tears. He started to laugh which made me start laughing again which made everyone in the class start to look at us weird.
"Nothing to look at people." I gasped and tried to calm myself down. Justin grinned at me.
"I'm starting to like this dude." I nodded in agreement as Mr. Elswood called attention.
It's Friday and an update so hip hip hooray! I am falling asleep and it's like a quarter to four... in the afternoon, I should probably stop falling asleep in Mr. Morrison's class but it is his fault for putting me in the back and keeping the lights off like 95% of the time... Oh well. So, so far straight A's for the first part of the second semester and I get a BIG bed! So excited :) Well thanks for reading this!
