"DAMN IT!"

I mutter and try to start my truck again.

"This isn't happening." I bang on my stirring wheel.

Charlie was already at work and anyone I could call to pick me up for school was probably already at school. Frustrated I decide to huff it on foot. I make my way quickly as possible. Breathlessly I enter 10 minutes late I head to my locker and then to class, where they are already reading their reports. Crap… Mr. Salvatore cuts me a disappointed look shaking his head but says nothing as Angela finishes her report.

I sit down to notice Edward wasn't here today. I wondered if he was sick. Then I wondered if our date would be canceled for tomorrow. If it was even a date I still wasn't certain. I get my books out and my homework. Once Angela's done Mr. Salvatore clears his throat.

"Ms. Swan do you have your Genealogy report today?"

I nod.

"Such a shame all that work went to waste."

I narrow my eyes.

"I did say it had to be turned in on time did I not?"

I look to him confused.

"Um sir I have it now."

"That maybe but you were late therefore you did not turn it in on time. I've no choice but to give you a zero."

My jaw drops.

"SIR!"

"I've also told you if you were late to my class once again you would be receiving detention did I not?"

Seriously!? What an asshole?!

"Oh come on!" I snap he raises a brow.

"Is there a problem Ms. Swan?"

I grit my teeth looking upon him furiously.

"NO everything is freaking peachy!"

"Good then you will see me for detention after school today no excuses and you will read me your report then."

"Whatever."

"Make that Monday's detention as well. Keep up the sarcasm Ms. Swan see how far that gets you. If you were smart you would keep your mouth closed the remainder of class."

I close my eyes and look down to my desk. I was so mad that the pencil in my hand snapped in half. I roll my eyes and grab another one from my bag. He hands out an assignment and I keep my head down as I'm literally bawling now. I try desperately to wipe them away before he sees I didn't want to give him the satisfaction. But as he places the paper down on my desk a tear lands on his arm. I close my eyes even more embarrassed now and I wanted to run out of that class and find the nearest rock to hide under. I prayed he didn't notice it. I keep my head down and continue about the work and don't even look to him once.

I take in a breath trying to calm down a bit and continue to use my sleeve to wipe my face. A Kleenex is placed on my table and I slightly raise my head to see him walking back to his desk as he sits down, I didn't understand this man by no means. I use the tissue as my sleeve was already becoming soaked. After class is over once again he has me stay behind. I sigh and place my things into my bag. I don't look upon him I just wait.

"Why were you late?"

"My truck wouldn't start. I had to walk."

I hear him sigh.

"After detention I'll give you a ride home."

"I do not need a ride I can walk."

"I insist."

"Why do you even care…"

I say and don't give him time to answer and grab my bag and head to my next class. I didn't want to talk to anyone or deal with anything so when lunchtime came around I headed to the library instead. I make my way through the classics section when I bump into someone. I turn and almost scream. He smiles.

"How are you doing all that?"

"Ah, but you already know my dear."

I look to his librarian get-up he was wearing slacks, a sweater vest, and a pair of reading glasses with the rope tied to them so they hung around his neck when he took them off.

"You look like a complete idiot." I hiss.

"Someone's still mad about getting detention in class today."

"You're damn right I'm mad."

"Easy Ms. Swan still your teacher."

"Not at the moment you look like a dorky librarian that's confused about his sexual orientation."

He softly chuckles. However he hears a pair of students getting loud in a corner. He peers over on his tip toes.

"SHUT UP! This is a library not a frat house!"

They look to him in shock and make their way out of the library afterword.

"How have you not been fired?"

"It's called compelling my dear such a wonderful gift."

"You compel people…" I whisper harshly.

"When needed yes."

"You haven't compelled me have you?"

He grins.

"You cannot be compelled."

I sigh in relief.

"Wait does that mean you've tried?"

He shrugs.

"Oh my God!"

I turn to ask what he tried to compel me for and he was gone.

"I hate when he does that." I mutter.

I rent out the book I wanted I pass by Mr. Salvatore's class on the way out and pause for a second as I see Jessica in her little cheerleader outfit sitting at the edge of his desk. He was leaned back in his chair his arms and legs crossed whilst she was flirting heavily.

Jessica! I scold in my head yet a huge wave of jealousy hit as I hide enough to peer through and continued to watch. She leans over and grabs him by the tie. Bitch… Please don't be stupid Mr. Salvatore I found myself thinking. He sighs and takes his tie out from her hand and raises.

"Ms. Stanley I do believe you've better places to be."

She gets down from the desk and begins to practically pin him into a corner. I notice his eyes go black and I knew that wasn't a good sign… Shit… I take in a breath and decide to intervene this was by no means his fault and she'd not a clue just what she was dealing with she was being an idiot to say the least. I head inside and yank her by the arm.

"Bella!"

"Come on Jess."

"What are you doing?"

"Taking you to sluts anonymous." I hear Mr. Salvatore clear his throat as if trying not to laugh.

"BELLA!"

"Oh come on!" I snap and keep dragging her out of the area.

After we leave the building she begins to light into me but I don't listen I just start to walk away. But then I wondered why I even helped him when he was such a dick to me this morning.

I make my way over to Mr. Salvatore's at the end of the day for detention. He motions me to my usual seat and I sit down and take out my report.

"You can begin when you're ready Ms. Swan."

"But there's no one here."

"I'm here that's all that matters."

I shrug and stand up heading to the front of the class and realize how odd it felt to look and see empty seats.

"By the way…"

I turn to him as he says this.

"I appreciate what you did at lunch. You've no idea how much that girl was pushing my buttons."

I nod.

"You may begin."

I go ever my entire family history and everything else that was in order. He actually looks to be paying attention and when I am done he nods and takes my report.

"Have a seat."

He gets up and I get rather nervous as he pulls the door shut he goes back to his desk and sits upon it.

"You have my number in your phone now right Isabella?" I nod but wondered where the hell he was going with this and noticed he called me Isabella which is what he calls me after school hours or when he's dealing with me on a more personal level.

"Then if you shall need me call." He hints and I knew it was about tomorrow.

"Another thing." He raises and makes his way over to me.

He places his fingers beneath my chin and looks me in the eyes as he lifts my head.

"I did not mean to cause you to cry this morning."

"I wasn't crying." I lie.

He shakes his head.

"You're a horrible liar my dear."

I bite my lower lip.

"Just be careful this weekend. I suppose I'll see you Monday morning."

I go to grab my bag but turn to him.

"Damon… I mean Mr. Salvatore."

"You can call me Damon when no one's around its ok."

"How do you feed?" I whisper.

He breaks into a smile.

"Tell you what you call me Sunday tell me about your date and I'll open up a little more about my life."

"Damon?"

"Yes Isabella?"

"Why are you in Forks?"

"Once again a topic for another time."

"And why do you want to hear about my date. You hate Edward Cullen."

He smiles.

"All the more reason I wish to know."

I shrug and start to head out. I hear a set of keys jingle.

"I'm taking you home remember?"

"Damon I didn't agree to…"

"Do you want more detention Ms. Swan?"
"Ugh you so need to be fired." I say but for some reason I can't break the smile on my face when I say this.

"Well when that day comes I plan to make it worth my while."

"And just how?"

"I'm going to kiss you in front of the entire school and fireman carry you out."

My jaw drops as I freeze in the hallway. Did he just say that?!

"Now come along now Ms. Swan…"
