AN: I finally got over my writers block for this story. Hopefully I don't get it again trying to write the next chapter. So, I decided to make Stefan the bad guy of the story, you know, add some drama. In the end it'll bring Elejah closer. WARNING for any Stefan fans, Stefan starts being the bad guy next chapter. This might be a really long one.

Elena walks in the kitchen.

Elena: Hey Ric, Jenna.

Alaric: Your up early.

Elena: Yeah. I wanted to get to school early.

Jeremy: Don't tell me you became a nerd while I was away.

He said in a sing-song.

Elena: No, I just need to do something before school starts.

She lightly hits his arm.

Jenna: Have a good day.

Elena: Your here.

She sighed in relief.

Elijah: Is everything alright?

He went to sit at his desk.

Elena: Kinda.

He frowns a little.

Elijah: Kinda?

Elena: Well yesterday, Alaric somehow figured us out. But before you say anything, he isn't mad or anything. To my surprise, he's all for it.

He takes a deep breaths.

Elijah: So nothing to really worry about?

She nods.

Elena: Nothing to worry about, I just wanted to let you know as soon as I could.

She smiles.

Elijah: I'm glad you did.

Elena: So...

Elijah: So...

Elena: That's all I had to say, I guess.

Elijah: And school doesn't start for another hour and half.

She smiles and walks to the door and locks it.

Elena: Yeah, I guess its just us.

Elijah: And what do you have in mind, miss. Gilbert?

He smirks. She walks to him and straddles his lap, her arms around his neck.

Elena: You tell me.

Later that day at lunch.

Bonnie: We told you mr. Mikaelson would come if you asked.

Elena: Yeah..

Caroline: I see someone got laid.

Elena's face turned bright red.

Elena: We're not talking about this.

Bonnie: Fine.

Caroline: I know you told me you don't like Stefan in the way I thought you would, and that's fine and all, but did you tell him that?

Elena frowns a little.

Elena: No, I haven't seen or talked to him since his first day. And I never led him on. Why?

Caroline: It could be nothing but I do find him looking over at you at times, just watching you. Creepy, right?

She said looking over Stefan, who was sitting with Tyler while looking at Elena.

Bonnie: Yeah that is creepy. He's watching you now.

Elena: I never noticed.

Caroline fishes in her purse and hands Elena pepper spray.

Caroline: Here. Tyler got you this. He said he gets a bad vibe from him, but he's not sure.

Elena smiles and takes it.

Elena: Thanks.

They left lunch early to go to the office to report the Stefan thing, they removed him from her classes and lunch period all together. She felt better knowing someone wasn't constantly watching her.

The three friends were on their way to Alaric's class.

Elena: So somehow during my small party, Ric found out me and Elijah are together.

They both looked at her in shock.

Bonnie: Go on.

Caroline: Yeah, what did he say? I'll kick his ass if I have to.

Elena giggled and shook her head.

Elena: He just told me he knew, and asked if I was happy or not. You know, fatherly things.

Bonnie: He is your stepdad after all.

Caroline: Does Jenna know too?

Elena: I don't know...When I got home, he was sitting in the living room waiting for me, Jenna was sleep.

Caroline: Wow!

Bonnie: Wait. Really?!

Elena: Yeah I know. I might as well call him 'dad'.

They laughed.

Alaric: Elena.

Elena: Yes, dad.

She said in a playful tone.

Alaric: I'm assuming you told him I know, right?

He said once he smiled and shook his head.

Elena: Yes.

Alaric: I didn't ruin anything, did I? That's not my intentions here.

She smiled.

Elena: No, you haven't, thanks though.

Alaric: For what?

Elena: Everything.

she sat down at her seat.

Alaric: Stefan.

He called him to his desk.

Stefan: Yes?

Alaric: They changed your classes and lunch around. Here's your new schedule.

Alaric sent him on his way, when he looked up, Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie were looking at each other like they knew something. What could they know about Stefan's schedule change? He was gonna have to look into that.

At the end of Ric's class.

Alaric: Elena, Caroline, Bonnie. My desk please.

They walked up to him.

Caroline: Hey, Ric. What's up?

Alaric: You wouldn't happen to know why Stefan classes change, do you?

He looked at all of them.

Bonnie: Yes.

Elena took a deep breath.

Elena: Caroline and Bonnie, told me about how he's always looking at me. Watching me, and it creeps me out so I told the office. I didn't even know until they said something.

Alaric: Wow..um ok. If anything else happens, you know how to get help.

He shook his head.

Elena: Yes, I only see him at school. How hard could it be to run to the nearest person, screaming help.

Caroline: That isn't funny, Elena.

Elena: I'm not joking. I didn't mean it to come off like that.

Alaric: Just be safe.

Bonnie: And don't forget to use your pepper spray.

Elena: Don't worry, I won't.

What more could He do? Could he really get away with anything with it always being a lot of people around? At least she has pepper spray on her.

Elijah: Elena. Caroline. Bonnie.

Caroline and Bonnie gave him a small smile and a nod.

Elena: Mr. Mikaelson. How was your morning?

She smiled.

Elijah: It was good. And you?

He smirked.

Elena: Same here.

Bonnie and Caroline had an all too knowing look on their face, making Elena roll her eyes. She then sent them a text in a group chat.

Me and Elijah didn't have sex. Ok? We only spent the morning talking. That's it.

Bonnie: Ok, fine.

Caroline: As hot as he is, I would've jumped him the first chance I got.

Elena Shook her head at Caroline's text, she ws going to text back when.

Elijah: Miss. Gilbert. Phone away please.

She huffed and narrowed her eyes at him but did as he said, causing him to smirk. Elijah handed out work for the last 15 minutes of class. Elena finished within 5 minutes, She got up and turned her paper in.

Elijah: Already finished?

Elena: Yep.

She smiled. She saw a book in his hand, when he notice her trying to read the cover, he lowered it and smirked at her as she glared at him.

Elena: Fine.

His smirk quickly turned into a smile as he shook his head before going back to reading his book. Elena was working on homework when she got the idea to throw paper at Elijah. She got out a notebook, opening it, she wrote a note down and balled it up, looking around the room to make sure no one was looking and threw it at him, quickly pretending to work. Elijah looked up as he grabbed the note but seeing everyone working he unballed it and read it.

Hey!

~E

He looked at Elena who was pulling out a book, she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, when she looked up and saw Elijah looking her, she smiled innocently when he raised an eyebrow at her and held the paper up. He threw it away and went back to reading when another paper ball hit his chest. He smirked as he opened it and read it.

What are you reading?

~E

She looked at him with puppy eyes, as he pretended to consider telling her only to shake his head. She threw another one at him, he gave her a playful look and she couldn't help but smile.

The bell rang not too long after, she told Bon and Care bye, as she was sitting there she couldn't help think about her relationship with Elijah. Had they gone out too fast? They started dating yesterday and Alaric already noticed within a few hours. What if other people found out? She didn't want Elijah losing his job over her. It was the first week of school and by the fourth day, she's dating her english teacher.

Elena: Elijah.

Elijah: Elena.

Elena: Don't you think it's weird that it's the first week of school and by the fourth day we're dating? I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm not regretting it, it's just that...I don't know. I guess I feel like we kinda moved fast, but at the same time I don't wanna slow down, you know? Your my teacher and I'm dating you, I'm your student and your dating me. I..I'm just stressed I guess.

Elijah: Is there anything I can do to help?

She smiled at him.

Elena: It would help if I was in your arms, right about now.

Smiling, he nodded and motioned her to come to him, to which she did rather quickly. As soon as she sat on his lap he warpped his arms around her back as she did around his waist, resting her head on his chest.

Elena: This is nice.

She relaxed into his embrace.

Elijah: How was your day?

She sighed thinking about what she found out about Stefan.

Elena: You remeber, Stefan right?

He nodded in response.

Elena: Well, Caroline, and Bonnie told me that they noticed he keeps looking and staring at me. He's friends with our friend Tyler, out of all of us, Tyler is the only one who is. Caroline saidd he only hangs out with Stefan because he's noticed that too, and since he gets a bad vibe from him he can't shake, so by him hanging around Stefan, he feels like he can at least control something. Tyler even got me pepper spray just in case.

As she was talking he slightly tighten his grip around her.

Elijah: Would that be the reason his scheudle changed?

Elena: Yeah...I went to the office during lunch.

He sighed, knowing that Stefan won't be around her.

Elijah: Well, I'm glad you won't have to be uncomfortable and he won't be around you...

She suggles her head in his neck.

Elena: What can I do for you today?

He takes a look around the room looking for something she help with, when he didn't see anything he sighed, kissing the crown of her head.

Elijah: No, not today.

She takes a deep breath.

Elijah: How are you feeling?

Elena: I feel fine.

Elijah: What do you have planned this weekend?

Elena: I don't know, probably nothing. What about you?

Elijah: I was wondering if you would acommpany to a night out from the town.

She looks up with a beaming smile.

Elena: Like a get away date? I would love to. It'll be perfect, none of the town locals will see us.

Elijah: I'm glad you agree.

They slip into a commfortable silence for a momment or two before she jolts up, when he looks at her with concern she explains.

Elena: What day this weekend? Because if its tonight, I need to go get ready now. I'll have to call my friends so they can help me, I have to buy a dress.

She takes a deep breath before she starts rambling on again but is stopped when he pulls her down to his lap, bringing her lips to his.

Elijah: Relax, and not tonight, but tomorrow night.

She takes a few deep breaths and shaking her head while laughing.

Elena: I just freaked out about not being ready for a date..I haven't done that since my first date.

He smiles up at her.

Elijah: Yes, you did. But don't worry.

He planted two quick kisses on her lips.

Elijah: It's completely normal.

She kisses his nose which causes him to chuckle lightly.

Elena: So..

He raises an eyebrow.

Elijah: So, What?

She looks over at his desk.

Elena: What were you reading during class?

He smirks but says nothing.

Elena: Tell me.

She narrows her eyes at him but he only deepens his smirk.

Elena: Pretty please.

Giving him the puppy dog eyes. This will get him to give in. she thought. And it does, Elena can get anyone to give in with those eyes.

Elijah: Edgar Allan Poe.

She smiles a triumpent smile. Her phone went off seconds later.

Caroline: Elena, Hey.

Elena: Hey Care, what's up?

Caroline: Well, you know how you and mr. Mikaelson just started dating?

Elena looked other at Elijah.

Elena: Yeah.

Caroline: Well, me and Bonnie got to thinking. He's the teacher and your the student, and if you two get caught out on dates and being all lovey dovey and stuff out in the open, it could ruin his career and rumors would spread about you two. So we came up with a solution.

Elena smiled.

Elena: What did you guys come up with?

Caroline: Your lakehouse. We stocked it full of food, candy, movies, and bunch of couple stuff. Oh and some wine.

Elena laughed.

Elena: Where did you even get wine?

Elijah frowned a little.

Elijah: Wine?

Elena looked back at him and nodded.

Caroline: Matt works at the grill, I saw him when he finally got some time off. So I asked him for some.

Elena: You didn't have to do all this, but thank you anyway.

Caroline: What are friends for? Anyway it's all ready for whenever you two wanna go on a date or need a hide out.

Elena: Thanks again Care.

She hung up the phone and turned to Elijah.

Elena: I have really amazing friends.

She said with a beaming smile.

Elena: They did something for us.

Elijah: Prey tell.

His voice taking a curious tone.

Elena: They turned my family lake house into a hide out for us; a place for us to go on dates. It's perfect, my family doesn't go there anymore.

He smiled.

Elijah: I'll say you have awesome friends.

He pressed his lips against hers. They were interupted when his phone went off, he looked at her.

Elena: Answer it, it could be an emergency.

And so he did.

Elijah: Sister.

Freya: Elijah. Where are you? You were suppose to meet me and Rebekah at the grill for lunch. Your 10 mintues late.

Elijah: My apologies, Freya. It must of slipped my mind. I'll be there soon.

Elena frownd. She didn't want to leave Elijah's presence yet.

Elijah: You have nothing to worry about-

He said when he noticed her frown. Freya spoke before he finish.

Freya: What are talking about.

Elijah: Sorry, I was talking to someone else.

Elena raised an eyebrow at him. They may not be able to show or tell people who their seeing but calling the other the correct tittle around others would nice.

Elijah: Sorry, I ment girlfriend.

As soon as he said it Elena face lit up with a smile.

Freya: Excuse me did you say GIRLFRIEND.

He hasn't told his family he was seeing someone..yet. He wants to wait to tell them about his girlfriend, only three people knew about them. He and Elena would have to talk about it before first.

Elijah: Yes, I did say girlfriend.

She leaned down pressing her lips to his. Elena took his phone, putting it on speaker, placing it on the desk before straddleing his lap and deepening the kiss.

Freya: Were you ever going to tell us about her?

Elijah: In time.

Freya: Bring her with you.

Elijah: I would have to ask her.

Elena: I would love to come.

He looked at her with confused frown as if silently asking her 'if she was sure' to which she replied with a smile and a nod.

Freya: Great then it's settled. See you two then.

With that Freya hung up.

Elijah: Are you sure about this? My family can sometimes be quick to juge.

She smiled.

Elena: Yes I'm sure. the more people that are close to us know, the more we don't have to hide us. Also if someone suspects us, especially someone at school, if they were to ask someone close to us, they can cover for us.

Elijah: I guess your right when you think about it like that...Ready to go?

Elena: Yeah, let's go.

They parked once they got there.

Elena: Before we go in, I feel as if I should call Jenna and Jeremy. If your telling your family, I should at least tell the rest of mine.

Elijah: If that's what you wish.

Elena nods. Part of her doesn't want to tell them, but another part does, part of her is afraid of their reactions. On top of that she's nervous, she's about to meet his family. Today was only day two of their relationship. She keeps thinking about it as she waits for Jenna to pick up, she picks up on the second ring.

Jenna: Elena, Hey.

Elena: Hey, Jenna. Any chance your around Ric and Jeremy?

Jenna: Yeah, why? Everything alright?

Elena sighs.

Elena: Yeah, yeah everything's alright. Can you all meet me at the grill? When you get there look for someone named Freya. I want you to meet my boyfriend, she's his sister. I gotta go, bye.

She hung up before Jenna could say anything. She let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding and turned her gaze to her boyfriend.

Elena: I know it's way early to be meeting each other's family but it's all for the best right?

Elijah: Right. All we can do is hope that they don't think bad on us.

He took her hand in his, and lightly squeezed it for support and comfort.

Elena: You only have one sibling?

Please say yes. she thought.

Elijah: No. I have 4 siblings in total. Your about to meet two of them, Rebekah, my younger sister is in there as well.

He kissed the back of her hand to help calm and comfort her...and him, truth be told he's as nervous as she is, he could tell that the level of calmness he was showing was helping her a lot as well.

Elena: Maybe we should wait longer for me to meet the rest.

He nods in agreement.

Elena: They should already be there.

She takes a few deep breaths and looks over at the grill. He takes her hand in his and lightly squeezes it.

Elijah: Ready?

She locks her eyes with his and nods.

Elena: Yes.

As they walk in, the first thing they see is two tables pushed together with their family sitting there.

Elijah: We're gonna be fine.

Elena: Yeah we can do this. At least we know Alaric is ok with this.

As they near the table, Alaric who's sitting on one end, turns their way and gives them a smile. They stopped in front of the table sit down opposite of everyone. Everyone looks confused, that is is everyone but Ric. She's young. Rebekah and Freya thought. Looks around Bekah's age. Freya thought. That's why they gave me the looks. Jenna thought. Huh. was all Jeremy thought. They do look good together. Ric thought.

Alaric: It's good to see you again, Elijah. Elena.

He greets the couple. Jenna and Jeremy frown at him, he didn't mention he knew.

About an hour later they were back in the car.

Elijah: Well that was awkward.

He looked over at her.

Elena: No kidding. At least they know.

She said looking at his lips. He smirked when he notice her looking at his lips, knowing they can't show public affection because people will talk if they saw them, he slowly licked his lips. She shook her head and laughed.

Elena: Not fair.

Elijah: I'm afraid I have no idea what your talking about.

Elena playfully narrowed her eyes at him as he pulled off.

Elena: Sure you don't.

She smiled and leaned into his side.

The weekend went by a bit too fast for Elena and Elijah, they wanted to spend more time together. Spending time at the lakehouse and the date just wasn't enough for them. Now it was Monday, she was excited cause Elijah said he would bring ice cream for after school. All she could think about was the cotton candy ice cream sitting in the freezer of the teacher's lounge.

Elena: It's finally lunch.

She sighed as they sat down at their table.

Caroline: Still thinking about that ice cream, huh?

Elena: Yes! It's one of my favorites, he texted me about it this morning. Two more classes to go until school's over.

She smiled.

Bonnie: How was your date with Elijah?

Caroline: Yeah, tell us about it.

Elena giggled.

Elena: Ok, ok. It was amazing. After dinner we walked around the city while the sun was setting, it was so beautiful. We headed back to the lakehouse after, we watched movies for the rest of the night. And before you say anything Care, no we didn't have sex. It was the best date ever.

Caroline narrowed her eyes but smiled anyway.

Elena: I have to go to my locker and get my history book, I'll be right back.

Elena was at her locker when she heard footsteps coming her way assuming it's Bonnie, She smiled as she started to talk.

Elena: Bonnie, you didn't ne-

She stopped smiling and talking all together as she saw who it is, once she closes her locker.

Elena: Stefan. I thought you were someone else.
