Chapter 3

"Holy shit Mel! I missed you!" Matt said happy as he picked me up and spun me around like I weighed nothing. I laughed wrapping my arms around his neck hugging him back. "You too Mattie!" I giggled out. "You going to the comet thingy tonight?" I asked eagerly. I can't wait to get wasted with my friends. "Sure am. Haha, Why? Is this you asking me to go with you?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows. I laughed in his face at his sad attempts. "Sorry Mattie, but I'm taken." I said smugly as we started walking towards the school. I was here early seeing as Elisa was trying to converse with me and I'm glad I took my car today. He stopped abruptly and narrowed his eyes at me in his protective stance I always made fun of. "And who the hell is that?" He said seriously. I laughed again skipping away in my heels, "That's for me to know and for you to.. Well not! Hahaha!" I called speeding to get away from him. "Hey! Get back here Mel! You better tell me who!" He yelled giving chase to me. I ran behind a pillar as he ran past me. I giggled silently and slipped into the hallway again immediately bumping into a hard chest. I cursed under my breath waiting for Matt to yell at me again but it never happened. "Huh?" I looked up and gasped seeing the infamous Stefan Salvatore. He steadied me with his hands on my waist. I blushed at this and once we made awkward eye contact he quickly moved his hands to his sides in embarrassment. I looked up and laughed at his embarrassment, "Thanks Stefan. Matt's so gonna kill me when he catches up to me." I said putting my hand on my neck awkwardly.

He tilted his head in confusion, "Why's he chasing you?" He asked smirking. I smirked back, "Because I wouldn't tell him who my date to the comet thingy was." I said feeling mischievous. I don't know why I was telling him this maybe it was because he was hot and Elena seems to think he's a decent guy so might as well try and get along with him. Who knows?

He chuckled and leaned against the locker in front of me crossing his arms in amusement, "And who would that be? Not that I know anyone around here well yet." He asked trying to pass it off like he didn't care. I chuckled and looked at him playfully, "Well, wouldn't you like to know Mr. Salvatore?" I said playfully patting his shoulder but then quickly withdrawing when I felt something run through my whole body like ice cold water once our skin connected. I shuddered and looked at him strangely. He looked back at me, "What? What is it?" HE asked probably thinking he did something. "Uh-…Oh hey there's Elena!" I said pointing over his shoulder and as expected he almost gave himself whiplash to see her and as much as I wanted to stop and laugh at that. I quickly ran back outside and turned next to the outside cement stairs to get a breather. 'What is the hell was that? It was like my body was screaming at me to fight or flight and seeing as my body was starting to go on the offensive I chose to run… What was that though? It's like he's dangerous or something weird like that and my body is trying to warn me…' I thought to myself breathing heavily. "Damn…I can't wait till tonight I need a drink…" I muttered softly running a hand through my hair.

I took in a deep breath as the bell rang and smelt something familiar. I glared into space when I realized where it was coming from. The weirdo junkies in the smoke-pit or whatever it's called. I saw Vickie's nasty ass hanging around them as always, I rolled my eyes and started to walk away when I saw a familiar face. "Holy Shit… I'm going to kick his ass…" I growled out narrowing my eyes at him. I strutted up to them with a fake smile to everyone but Jeremy even though I was mad at him I loved and missed the little twerp. The guys all wolf whistled and made comments while the girls glared and judged me, I only kept my eyes on Jeremy though until I was in front of him snatching the blunt from his hand. "Hey! What the h-" He stopped mid-yell seeing who I was. "Holy sh- Mel?" He stuttered. I smirked throwing the blunt on the ground and stepping on it with my heel. "That's my name." I said before we both hugged eachother. I frowned at his smell but kept hugging him anyways. Jeremy was like a little brother to me, I hated to see him all messed up like this. "I missed you Jer!" I said into his shoulder as we rocked back and forth. "You too Mel! God it's been forever." He said pulling back looking at me with kind eyes. I smile "Sure has. C'mon and show me to class twerp I forgot." I lied with a teasing smile to get him away from the druggies. He looked to his friends and back to me hesitantly, "I won't take no for an answer twerp." I said bluntly. He rolled his eyes fighting a smile, "Alright, catch up with you guys later." He said to his friends. Vicky said some nasty comment which Jeremy seemed to take personal before faking like he brushed it off and walked ahead. I looked at Vickie and flicked her off with both hands and a smirk before catching up to Jeremy being careful with my pink, brown, and white floral dress. I looped my arm through his and we walked through the semi empty hallways seeing as we were late. "Well, well, well, Jeremy Gilbert. All big and bad now.. Didn't see that coming." I joked. He rolled his eyes nodding his head, "Yeah, Yeah, I don't need to hear it from you too yknow. I get it enough from Jenna and Elena." He snapped.

"Okay, first. Watch the tone. Second, I'm not gonna tell you what to do. I'll just mess with you every time you do something I don't like. Like now." I said teasingly then pulled his hood over his eyes and dashed to my class down the next hall already knowing where it was. I ignored his cursing behind me as I fixed my hair and walked into my history class late gaining everyone attention at which I smirked at them and waved at Bonnie and Elena, ignoring Stefan's kind 'hello' smile. If I'm gonna ignore authority I should probably at least listen to my instincts.

"Well, Ms. Yukara. How nice of you t join us." The teacher stated obnoxiously as I took my seat next to bonnie behind Elena. "Yeah, sorry won't happen again." I said carelessly. I saw Bonnie, Elena, and Stefan scrunch up their noses sniffing in my direction. I glared at the until I remembered that I hugged the pot bag that is not Jeremy. They al looked at me with questioning eyes and I rolled my eyes at their assumptions, "It was just Jeremy guys, geez…" I pouted annoyed. They all nodded in understanding except for obviously Stefan who was only on his second day.

The school day went by fast and Matt continued to bug me about my date and I continued to blow him off to annoy him. I ignored Tyler and his friends as they once again tried to call me over to them so they could all hit on me, which I just ended up flipping them off at that point. I ignored and avoided Stefan all day which thankfully wasn't hard seeing as Bonnie seemed to be doing the same and he had his little cute 'Elena Obsession' thing going on.

I drove to Bonnie's Dad's house at around 7 all dressed and prettied up, seeing as her dad didn't want her at her grandmother's anymore. I had on light make up just eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, and some blush. I wore a light blue high waisted skater skirt with a very this black belt around the waist and fitting white top that stopped at my ribs showing a thin line of skin between the two, then I had on some black peep-toe high heels to support my shortness. I put on a black leather half jacket. I had my hair straightened with the ends curled and the top half pulled back. I had my sapphire ring on my middle finger that I got from my father. It was a silver band with diamonds on either side of a real deep blue sapphire diamond. I thought it was really cute it was passed down to me from my real father. It's all I had left of him and I wore it as much as I could but not enough to damage it knowing my clumsy, wreckless self. I knocked on her door and grinned when she answered looking as beautiful as always, "You ready, date?" I asked her slyly. She only laughed grabbing her coat, "Just c'mon silly." She said shaking her head. I smirked and strutted back to my car wondering what Matt's face would be like when he saw my date. I giggled starting my engine. "What?" Bonnie asked noticing my weirdness. "Oh nothing. I just love messing with people." I said humorously before speeding off. "Whoa! Dang girl slow down!" Bonnie yelled getting scared. I only laughed at her, "Oh c'mon it sucks enough that I cant ride like this with Elena or Caroline just enjoy yourself BonBon! I got this!" I said smiling. She looked at me then sighed holding onto her seatbelt. I blasted Selena Gomez's Stars Dance(Do not Own) and sang along with Bonnie when she calmed down.

"I can make the stars dance!" We sang until the song ended. I parked turning off the car looking at Bonnie. "See, that was fun huh?" I grinned. She fought a smile, "It was dangerous." She said trying to keep a straight face. I shook my head getting out the car, "Deny it all you want to Bonnie, haha." I grabbed my black leather clutch and slid the chain on my shoulder. "Now, let's get wasted!" I yelled happy grabbing Bonnie's hand going into the part where everyone was. The comet wasn't for a while so for now we were all partying. We met up with Elena and we all joked around for a bit. "Hey, where's Caroline?" I asked looking around. "Not sure, she's been acting weird lately though..." Bonnie said worriedly. I shrugged, "When isn't she? I'm gonna go look for her and get us some real drinks." I said slyly wiggling my brows at then while walking away.

I went around to look for some drinks finding a bottle of vodka, I shrugged I found out my high tolerance for…Well pretty much everything after my parents died. So this should be fun. I grabbed three shot glasses looking for Bonnie and Elena seeing as they weren't where I left them. "Go figures.." I muttered. I looked around spotting Matt but he was with that ass Tyler. "Maybe if I call him Tyler won't follow…"

"Hey Mattie!" I yelled holding up the shot glasses and vodka. He immediately came over unfortunately with Tyler though. "Damn! Wishful thinking…" I said dead-planned. He gave me hug and I smiled at him, "Hey Matt, what's-" "Where's your so-called date?" He cut me off. I smirked and laughed, "Oh somewhere around here. Actually I was waiting but since you here, care for a shot?" I asked cutely. He narrowed his eyes at me grabbing the glass anyways, "That's the spirit! Here you too Tyler!" I said shoving the glass to him. He smirked and grabbed it. I poured some for the three of us. "To Comet Thingies!" I yelled holding up my glass. Matt and Tyler looked like they wanted to correct me but I gave them a look and they decided against it and we all toasted taking one back.

8 shots later Tyler and Matt were drunk and I was extremely tipsy, "Whoo!" I yelled out happily dancing. To the music I found Bonnie and gave her 2 shots seeing as she didn't want too many when she had to be the sober driver. I walked over to Matt and introduced him, "Well Mattie, meet my date Bonnie. Bonnie, meet Matt. Well that was nice." I said grinning. He glared at me rushing over to pick me up and started swinging me around. I squealed happily, "put me down!" "No way! You tricked me!" He yelled back. I was about to say something when we all heard screaming and yelling. Matt put me down and we rushed over to see Jermey and Elena carrying a bloody neck'ed Vicky. I think it's fair to say Matt and everyone else sobered up real quick. Especially when the cops came.

I ran to Elena and Jeremy, "oh my god! What happened to her?" I said panicked, "Are you guys okay?" I said looking over the both of the like a worried mother. "Mel. Mel! Chill we're fine." Jeremy said annoyed obviously worried about Vicky. I looked at him sadly the looked to Elena, "I'm fine Melanie. Thanks. I think it was another animal attack. This is getting out of hand…" she said trailing off. "Guys I gotta go I'll catch up later." She said rushing off quickly. I furrowed my brows, 'what's more important than your little's brother's half dead crush?' I wondered but then I saw Stefan and that feeling came back again when our eyes met for a second then he went off with Elena into the woods….Where…the… animal that attacked…Vicky is…. Yup That's smart. "C'mon Jer, I'll drop you off at home." I said kindly. He shrugged me off and walked away, "No thanks, just go." He snapped at me.

I sighed to myself shaking my head at the kid. "Where the hell is Bonnie?" I grunted annoyed ready to go home now that the night was ruined. I turned around and walked to the car to wait for Bonnie.

That's it for chapter 3! Hope you enjoyed it! I'll update soon!
