I came home after the quiz redo and I had gotten a hundred. I looked all around the house but all I could find was Stefan. I showed him my paper and he smiled. "What's this? A hundred from you?" he got up and went down to the basement. When he came back, he had a bottle of beer. Ripper Stefan was in idiot. I was not drinking underage INSIDE Damon's house.
I walked up to my room and took my phone out. I deleted all the texts I had from Tyler and mine. I texted him once more and then deleted that too. I put my phone to charge and when Damon came home, I took him my test. He smirked and then just patted me on the back.
"Show Elena that and I'm sure she'll be proud. Considering your past grades."
"Can I go see Tyler on Saturday?" I asked, hoping against hope. He turned around to stare at me. I kept my poker face on. Tyler had shown me back when Klaus was in Mystic Falls. He stared at me, directly in the eye before lowering his gaze down to my feet. He looked back at me before his smirk appeared.
"Since you went from zero to a 100, yes. You may." I jumped for joy and before I could finish, he interrupted me. "IF you stay after school every day for the rest of this week. Then on Saturday for your 'hard work', you can stay the whole day if you wish. Sunday afternoon you'll come home." He said and turned around to go get himself a bourbon. I followed him.
"So, how'd your day go?"
"It was awful. I had to sit through an hour of cover ups."
"And Alaric?"
"He was great. Stayed at the bar with me. We had tons of fun." He said and that was when I think he was playing with me. "How was yours?"
"Hard. Do you realize how hard I studied?" I asked. "Hey I'm going to tell Tyler about Saturday."
"And? Why should I care? First, you're going to tell Elena of your grade." I went upstairs ad dialled Elena's number.
"Hey Jer. What's going on?"
"I got a hundred on a quiz."
"That's great. I got a hundred on an exam. How's that? We both do well in school. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine. How about you?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Caroline's been here and there. Doing things. I am beginning to wonder what's going on. Do you know if she's with anyone? She comes home excited and can't stop herself from smiling. Is she with Tyler again?"
"How should I know? I'm still with Bonnie. She helps me study." I replied.
"Well I gotta go. Caroline's calling me. It's almost time for us to study again." She hung up and I called Tyler. He picked up on the third ring.
"Hey, you're welcome. I just called Matt and he's going to… can't tell you, but I did hear you got a 100. So, what's up?"
"Okay. So I am coming over there Saturday. There's a catch though. I have to attend after school for the rest of the week."
"Well, do it Jeremy. If you don't I'll be bored and disappointed in you. You're my man, you come hang with me when I ask you to, or tell you to." He said and laughed. I laughed too.
"Yeah, I know. I miss when you were over here and we all could hang out. Matt, you, and me. It made evening so much more fun. Especially with all that… stuff, you kept at your house. We could sit at your house all day man."
"Yeah well that's not true. Remember once Klaus actually busted us at Walmart when we were supposed to be at school. Klaus."
"Yeah, that wasn't cool. But as far as I can remember only you and Caroline got in trouble."
"Just glad he wasn't into this back then… he only threw me through the wall of the school. Well not exactly but kind of."
"Tyler! Who are you talking to?" called Klaus.
"I'm talking to Jeremy, Daddy!"
"Five minutes! Then I'm taking you out for a walk before we take you to bed."
"Aw man. But I-"
"Would you like to go now?"
"No Daddy. Okay. Well Jeremy I have five minutes… too short. I'll call YOU tomorrow. How about that! Ha! So how'd it go?"
"It was hard but hey, when good is expected you can trust me."
"Hm. Yeah."
"Tyler!" I sighed. His 'family' never let him have enough time on the phone.
"I gotta go. Aunt Beky's calling." He sighed himself. "Bye Jeremy. See ya later."
"Bye Ty Ty." I teased. He moaned.
"Not you too. Come on man, only Klaus calls me that."
"And you call him Daddy. Bye Tyler."
"Bye Jeremy." He hung up and I put my phone on charge. I went to my desk, pulled out my sketchpad, and began to draw. When I heard Damon coming up I hid it back in the drawer and pulled over my homework. I had already done it at school. I wrote my name and the date on the top just as he entered.
"Time for bed baby Gilbert." I nodded and put my papers back in my backpack. "I'll cook you your breakfast this time. Sorry for Stefan's horrible cooking."
"Actually I'd say he cooks better than you."
"Fine, we'll see about that." He left and I got into bed and put on music as I fell to sleep.
