AN: Heyyy! I decided to update this a little sooner because I have a very good idea of where I want this story to go. I must warn you in advance in my summary is not enough, if you like the sweet and innocent Elena, this is not a story for you. I love me some dark characters and the thought of a Dark Elena sounds very intriguing. Anyways, R&R. It means alot!

Chapter 3 - Tired Blue Boy Walks My Way, Holding a Girl's Hand

Well, the one thing I didn't want to happen had actually happened.

Standing at my locker, I shot a dirty glare over to my left. Damon and Caroline were walking hand in hand to Science class. He had asked her out last night and Caroline called me in a fit of excitement to tell me the 'good' news. I brushed it off and told her I was happy for her, when deep down I wanted grab a butcher knife and slice her throat open.

She thought she was going to get away with it. She thought she could take Damon for herself and expect me to be okay with it. That skank has another thing coming.

Huffing violently, I trudged into the classroom and slammed a book down on Caroline's desk, scaring her half to death.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I barked, not sounding friendly in the slightest.

Caroline looked at me weirdly and stood up to leave the classroom. I followed close behind, shooting a scowl at Damon to which he shrugged.

I led us towards the cafeteria which was down a completely different hall so no one could hear me if I started shouting. Bonnie passed us to go to English, looking over at us with confusion but waved anyone and continued walking down the aisle of lockers.

I sighed in relief when I discovered no one was in sight and everyone was in their designated rooms, all of them being close doored and turned back to Caroline.

"What the hell is your problem, Elena? You scared the hell out of me in there!" she shouted in just above a whisper.

"You pissed me off," I snapped.

Her mouth dropped in a disgusted face. "Is this about Damon? Because I'll have you know, he asked me out."

"And you said yes! Despite me seeing him first and knowing that I wanted him, you said yes! I saw him first, you fucking bimbo!"

Caroline's mouth dropped and he eyes widened. "Are you seriously going to be this way? He's just a guy!"

"Friends don't do that to eachother! You're supposed to support me and be on Team Elena!"

"I can't help it if he didn't feel the same way you do! When a guy asks me out, I saw yes! You would have done the exact same thing!" She shouted angrily.

I was fucking fuming now. "We are NOT talking about me here! You have no proof that I would have done the same thing, and frankly, I wouldn't have! You broke the girl code, Care Bear. ike it or not, no matter what he says or you say, or he does and you do, he will be mine," I growled.

"He'll never love you if you continue being an unlikable, self-absorbed, controlling bitch!"

Just as she said that, my head was turned to calm down and I swung back and sucker-punched her in the nose as hard as I could, the sound of bone breaking and a yelp of pain escaped her lips.

I looked at her menacingly as she held her broken nose between her fingers, blood dripping down her palm. "You broke my fucking nose!" she groaned.

"Good," I replied coldly. "That's what you get for breaking code. Maybe you should do yourself a favor and stay away from Damon."

Trying to remove her hand from her nose as I walked away, she called out to me, "You're gonna let a guy destroy our whole friendship!? We've been friends since the first grade, that's gotta mean something to you!"

I looked over my shoulder. "It doesn't mean a damn thing to me anymore. It certainly never meant anything to you either if you had the audacity to say yes to someone who asked you out when you knew I liked him. You did this, this is your fault. Our friendship and everything we ever stood for is done."

With that, I walked back to class, praying that Caroline went to the nurse because I would like nothing more than to see a large bandaid over her nose from the very wound that I caused.

Caroline and I really were friends, and deep down it means something. Something special. But I will not stand for her trying to take away the only guy I have ever truly wanted.

Now that Caroline is over with, I need to talk some sense into Damon. One day he will realize he was wrong for asking her out and he will be mine.

No. He is mine and only mine, and no one will ever change that.

I walked back to the classroom and Damon immediately turned over to look at me and was alarmed the second he realized that Caroline was not with me.

I smirked devilishly at him and he glared at me, standing up and crooking a finger at me to come with him out in the hallway.

I did as he asked and followed him outside the door.

He looked at me with hostility and revulsion in his eyes because he was either sure of what I did, or he was thinking the worst had happened, which is me killing her. I kinda wanted to, but I didn't.

I pressed my back against the lockers as he stared into my soul for what seemed like an hour when it was just barely over a minute.

"What the hell did you do to Caroline?" He snapped viciously, getting all up in my grill.

"Are you sure you care?" I smirked. He grumbled and repeated himself, louder this time, "What did you do to Caroline?"

I smiled evilly. "Oh you know, I just broke her nose and she is quite possibly at the nurse's office as we speak."

"Why?" He demanded forcefully, getting closer to my face. His scent was intoxicating. Spicy and manly as hell.

"Haven't you heard? She broke girl code. You see, there's this guy that I'm like really into and despite her knowing how much I like him and knowing I wanted to ask him out sometime even though he asked her out, she said yes to him and-"

"Hold it right there," he interrupted, shooting his hand out in front of him to stop me from continuing. "You're into me?"

I nodded, giving him that 'duh' look. "As if you didn't know already, I remember calling you attractive straight to your face and you said you were going to ask Caroline out. Here I thought you were just one of those guys that likes to play hard to get. Turns out, I was wrong."

He licked and bit his lip. "Look, I'm flattered. Really. But I just don't see you that way. I want to be with Caroline and judging by your reaction to her saying yes when I asked her out, I should stay as far away from you as possible."

I scoffed humorlessly. "Fine, we could be friends than. Okay? We'll be friends."

He nodded. "I can handle that," he smiled at me. "Don't think I have anything against you particularly besides what you did to my girlfriend, because I don't. I'm just more of a blonde guy and I find Caroline's spunk and bubbly attitude a turn-on."

Deep down, I was seething beyond comprehension and I was proud I was able to keep my cook after he said the words 'girlfriend' and 'turn-on.

But of course I ignored it and nodded. "I understand. As long as you're happy, I'm happy too," I smiled at him.

I want him to be happy with me.

"That's great," he replied happily. "I'm gonna go check on Caroline. See you around, Elena," he waved as he jogged down to the next hallway where the nurse's office was.

I'm not giving up that easy. No way in hell.

By the time I was finished having my conversation with Damon, the day had been over and I will never understand how the teachers have not pulled me outside and asked me what the hell I'm doing ditching class. Either they don't notice or they don't care. Either way, they're terrible teachers.

I went back to my locker and gathered my things to go home. Caroline is usually my ride, but that'll never happen. I'm taking the bus.

Grabbing my bag, I closed my locker and walked over to the other set of lockers where Bonnie's was located.

"Hey, Elena!" she exclaimed, pulling me in for a bear hug. "How are you? I heard Caroline broke her nose," she winced.

I pursed my lips. "Long story, no time to tell it. Otherwise I'd say I'm pretty good."

Bonnie closed her locker and and stuffed her things in her bag. "Good," she replied, struggling with the zipper on one of her bag compartments. She finally got it when I helped her out a little bit.

"Thanks," she laughed.

"You're welcome."

I walked up to the front door of the school before I heard a beep and then the principal's voice come up on the loudspeaker.

"Elena Gilbert, please report to the office."

Fuck me.

Uh oh, Elena's in some troubleeee. Hehe. Yay or nay? Let me know by reviewing. Thanks guys!
