Damon's Pov
Elena probably thinks I didn't care what they were saying, but I really was. They were saying 'Delena', aka mine and Elena's 'shipname'. I don't even like Elena.
Then why did you tell her to kiss you?, I think to myself. God, I'm such an idiot. I keep telling myself I don't like her but I think I do. I mean what's not to like? She's beautiful, smart, demanding, and cute.
Wait! Cute? Since when do I use the word 'cute'?
I push the double doors open and walk out. It's third period and I don't wanna be in there. Elena's blonde friend is in there. I don't wanna hear her saying things like 'Why did you make her kiss you', or something.
I start my car and drive away. I need some time alone. I need to process what just happened.
While I'm driving my phone starts to ring. It's Stefan.
"Hello?"
"Damon! Is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"That you made out with Elena Gilbert in class?"
I sigh and answer. "Yeah, it kinda is."
"What do you mean kinda?"
"Nevermind, is that all?"
"Yeah that's all. Oh and you have detention for skipping third period."
"Ok, whatever bye."
"Bye."
I hang up and continue driving. I don't know where I'm going. But all I know is that I need some good drinks right now. So I guess I'm going to a bar.
.
.

2 hours later...
"So like I said, I don't know if I like her or not. I mean she's bossy and oh so annoying but I can't help but feel attracted to her for it. You know what I mean?" I ask the bartender while sipping on my bourbon.
"Look man I really don't care if you like this girl or not. I'm just trying to get paid." He walks away to serve other customers and I'm just sitting there drinking endlessly.
I check the time on my phone. Damn, it's already passed 2 hours?
Well I guess it's time to get going. I somehow stand up and reach into my pocket. I pull out some cash and throw it on the bar.
I see the bartender I was talking to pick up the money and shove it down his pocket.
I'm right about to walk out, but before I do, I call out to the bartender. "Hey since you didn't answer my question I'll be back! So see you later Ted or whatever your name is!"
I walk out of the bar and head for my car. I'm determined to tell Elena I like her. I'm doing it now cause I know 'sober me' won't have the balls to do it.
I start my car, and drive off. I'm kinda drunk, but I'm not sober either.
To be honest, I actually kinda liked Elena the very first second I saw her. I remember that day perfectly. It was the day where I trashed a classroom. The very same one she was in.
A few months ago...
"Are you sure we should do this Damon?" Stefan asked me, while spray painting the classroom walls green.
I roll my eyes. "Yes Stefan, Mrs. Fitz gave Enzo detention for a whole month just for talking back. She deserves this." I say as I throw paper all over the floor.
Mrs. Fitz hates everyone. Specially me and my friends. She thinks we're gonna be criminals when we got up. I mean maybe just Mason since, he wants to kill me. He didn't tell he did, but I can tell. He's jealous of me. And I mean who wouldn't?
"Damon I think she's coming, I hear footsteps." I hear Stefan say, I hide behind something and wait there. I hear the doornob rattle, then it opens.
I peek from my hiding spot and I see her. It's not Mrs. Fitz, it's a girl. A damn right gorgeous one! She has long wavy hair, a slender but long body, and the most beautiful eyes.
She looks around and gasps. I think she noticed the mess me and Stefan made.
I don't know why, but I get up from my hiding spot and make my way over to her. She see's me and her eyes widened.
The girl's even more beautiful up close.
"Who are you?" She asks, and goddamn she has a nice voice. Like an angel.
"Damon Salvatore and you are?"
"Elena Gilbert, did you do this?" She asks.
"Yes." I don't know why I said that, but I can't lie to her. I don't know why, I just can't.
Stefan comes out of hiding as well. He makes his way over to us and frowns. "Damnit Damon, we got caught! Let's go!" He tugs on my arm but I don't go.
"Wait! No, you have to stay and clean up! You can't just leave Mrs. Fitz's classroom like this!" Elena yells.
Just then, we heard someone clear their throat behind us. We all turn around and see Mrs. Fitz standing there with a very angry face. "What the hell happened?" She yells out.
Before me and Stefan can lie to her, Elena speaks. "It was them Mrs. Fitz, I just heard some noise coming from your classroom and I decided to check it out. Turns out, it was these guys trashing your classroom." She points at me then at Stefan.
I shake my head and laugh. "Stop lying Elena, you trashed Mrs. Fitz's classroom too. You helped us."
Elena's jaw drops. "No I didn't! You stop lying! I don't even know you!"
"You two," Mrs. Fitz points at me and Elena, "stop yelling! And you both will have detention! Along with you Stefan! My answers final." Mrs. Fitz walks away, probably gonna get the janitor to help her clean her classroom up.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you say that?! I just met you, and you're already a douchebag!" Elena yells at me. And oh God, she looks hot doing it. I know I just met her a few minutes ago, but damn this girl turns me on!
"Sorry, sweetheart. Looks like you're stuck with me for detention." I need some alone time with this girl, because I know just a little charm and she'll be at my feet. Most likely giving me head, but hey, that's just a fantasy.
"You're such a dumbass!" She screams and starts walking away.
"Wow." Stefan says as he leans against a locker.
"Yeah." Is all I say.
2007.
Ahhh, that will forever be one of my favorite memories. Our first meeting will be something to remember. I mean she hated me before and now we're kinda friends. I just hope she likes me too.
After a few minutes of driving, I see her house in the distance. I'm nervous. Yes the great Damon Salvatore is nervous.
I park a few blocks away, and make my way over to the front door. But when I'm about to knock on the door I see no lights on, except one. The one that's on the very top, maybe it's her window, hopefully. I don't wanna see her dad taking a shower or some shit. I'mma get scarred for life, if that happens.
I sigh as I take the risk and start climbing. It's pretty easy since I was an expert climber when I was younger. But the key word is 'was', I still might slip a little here and there.
When I finally make it to the top, I push the window so I can climb inside. As soon as I'm inside, I look around. This room is definitely Elena's. I inhale and sigh. It even smells like her. I like this room, it looks nice. The only thing that's missing is Elena. Where is she?
As if on cue, Elena walks into the room. She has her hair up into a ponytail. She's wearing short shorts and a tank top.
She screams and throws a water bottle she we holding.
"Elena."
"What the hell Damon? How did you get in?" She asks, obviously pissed that I'm in her house and her room.
I step closer to her and say, "Your window was kinda open, so I climbed up."
Her beautiful brown eyes widened. "Why?! Why are you here?"
I stare at her eyes and answer, "I did that because I need to tell you something." I take her hands into mine and I hold them.
She looks at me confused, "Damon, what are you doing?"
"Just listen Elena, please." Elena rolls her eyes and says, "Fine but hurry up, my parents are gonna be back any minute and I don't want to explain to them why I have a boy in my room."
I nod. I take a deep breath and sigh. "I like you Elena. I don't mean as a friend, I mean as in like lie you."
She looks at me for a moment then she busts out laughing. She doesn't believe me.
"Oh yeah sure. Seriously Damon, stop joking around."
"Elena I am serious, I like you. I wanna be with you." Elena starts backing away and I follow her. She stops backing away when her back hits the wall.
"Have you been drinking?" She asks me in a small whisper.
"Yes, but I'm mostly sober. And I know what I feel Elena, and what I feel is for you." I stare at her eyes then her lips.
My eyes flicker back to hers and I see them staring at my lips. She licks her lips and leans in and I do too. Before our lips even touch, we hear the front door open and close.
"Elena, we're home!" I back away from Elena, and Elena pushes me towards the window.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"You need to leave now! Before my parents see you!" I step out and I start to climb down, when I stop half way.
"Why did you stop?"
"I forgot to do this," I climb back up and kiss her. It takes her a second before she kisses me back. Unfortunately,I have to break the kiss, since I hear her parents getting closer to her room.
As soon as I'm on the ground, I run for my car. I get in and slam the door. Then it hits me, I just kissed Elena.
I start laughing and smiling. And she kissed me back! Which means she likes me too. I mean who wouldn't? I'm hot as fuck. A lot of girls say I look like Ian Somerhalder, but I don't see it.
I touch my lips and sigh. That was the greatest kiss ever, Elena has the softest lips ever. And I've had a lot of lips on mine.
I start the car and drive off my house. I soon as I'm in my driveway. I step out of the car and yell up to the sky.
"Thank you God!" Now I know she feels what I feel. Now I know it's real.

The present, 2018
Elena's Pov
I seriously can't believe the reunion is almost here! It's only 3 days away and I'm freaking out.
Ever since me and Rose saw Bonnie at the mall, I've felt like she's been following me everywhere I go.
I have everything ready when I do go the reunion. I have my dress picked out, my heels, the make up and everything else. Wait! Do I need to bring a date?! Well nah Elena, you don't want to go to a reunion by yourself do you?
Great. Now I need a date. But who would go with me to my high school reunion? I haven't dated in like 2 years.
I check my watch, it says 11:34. The bar is still open. Maybe I can find a poor bastard that'll agree to go with me. And even if they refuse, I'll just give em' sex. Seriously, if you mention sex to guys, they'll do anything just to get in bed with you.
I walk into my bedroom and change into something much more sexier. I mean as much i would like to go in the bar wearing jeans, I won't. Guys need to see you're sexy before sleeping with you. If they see that you're ugly, then sorry honey but you are not gonna get laid tonight.
I change into a skin tight black dress. I look at myself in the mirror and I can't help but admit how sexy I look in that dress.
I fix my hair, and grab my heels.
As soon as I walk into the bar, I've felt eyes on me. I glance at all the guys staring at me, and oh God. They're ugly. They're all at least 50 years old.
Then, I glance at a guy that's been watching me like a hawk. And when I do l, my eyes widened. This man is hot! He has dark black hair and and ok jawline. He kinda reminds me of Damon, but it's obvious he's no Damon. Even though me and Damon were in highschool together, he had a really nice body. And this guy, whoever he is, he doesn't have as much muscles as he did.
I pretend like I haven't seen him, and I walk up to the bar and order a drink. A few minutes later I feel an arm go around my waist. I turn around and I see the dark haired man from a few moments ago.
"Hi there sexy." He says into my ear.
"Hi." I say, trying to sound sexy and seductive.
"Wanna dance?" He points to the dance floor, and I nod.
Moments later, we're dancing and grinding into each other. It feels weird though, but I have to get used to it.
I get tired of dancing and I tell him that I need to sit down. He nods and follows me.
In that moment I realized I don't even know the guy's name.
"What's your name?" I blurt out.
He smiles and winks at me. "Liam, and who are you?"
"Elena."
"Nice name."
"Thanks."
I order another drink and chug it down as soon as I get it. If I'm going to be flirting with this guy, I need to be drunk. I can't be sober. After I finish my drink, I ask him if he wants to go back to dancing and he says yes.
This Liam dude is pretty interesting. I was expecting him to touch me, but he never did. He was a gentleman.
Liam is pretty funny too. He told me jokes about his family and himself. He stopped telling me them when he needed to go to tell bathroom. While he's in there, I check the time on my phone and I gasp when I see the time. It's 3:46. I didn't think it was that late.
I see Liam come back from the bathroom and I immediately tell him that it's late and that I need to go. He nods and gives me his phone number and I do the same. So now I have Liam's phone number.
I feel a little drunk, but I can manage. I say 'bye' to Liam and walk out of the bar. I call a taxi and step inside.
I tell the driver my address, he nods as he starts the car. I sigh as I look out the window. I keep thinking about the reunion. I'm really nervous, I'm just hoping my friends will be happy to see me.
A few minutes later, the driver stops the car and I pay him. I walk out, with my heels in my hand, and make my way to my house.
I unlock the door and smile as I close it and lock it. I throw my heels in a corner and head for my room. I go through my closet and pick out some better clothes for me to wear.
I change, and when I'm done, I lay on my bed. With my eyes still wide open. For some odd reason I can't sleep. That Liam guy I met today was cute and smart. But the only bad thing about him was that he looked like Damon. And every single time I start thinking about Damon, I can't stop.
It's impossible to forget someone like him. He was just perfect, he was the perfect man for me. But then he dumped me, in front of everyone.
I sit up from my bed and over to a cabinet. I open it and pull out a photo album. I open it and smile. These are all the pictures of me and Damon. I kept each and every single picture of me and him. I made 2 of them, I have one and so does Damon. I wonder if he still has it or if he threw it away.
I flip through the pages and stop at one, our first date. He thought it would be a good idea to go to the circus, but it wasn't. One of the clowns was hitting on me and Damon got way over protected and punched the poor clown. We got kicked out and went to the grill after.
My fingers run over the photo, and my eyes start to water. I wipe my eyes before the tears start to run down. I shouldn't be crying, he dumped me. He obviously didn't want me.
I shove the album back into the cabinet and get under the covers of my bed. I close my eyes and let my mind drift off to something else that's not Damon.

Damon's Pov. February 2, 2018.
I wake up to sound of the door opening. My first instinct is to grab the baseball bat that's beside me and knock the intruder to the floor, but then I remember that It's probably Enzo. He's been coming and going every day since he got a new job.
I rub my eyes and get up from my bed. I walk downstairs and see Enzo watching tv, most likely watching his favorite tv show, Lost.
"Hey Enzo." I sit down on the couch and yawn.
"Hey Damon. Did you get an invitation to the reunion?" He looks at me then at the tv tv screen.
I nod my head. "Yeah, are you thinking of going or?"
"I don't know, I don't wanna see all the bloody people I didn't like be successful and then they're rubbing it all in my face."
"Well, even if they are successful, you'll have something much more than them. You'll be good looking, I mean not as half as me but you're ok." I smirk at him and he laughs.
"You're right about the first part, but I don't know about the second part. I'm definitely more sexy."
I roll my eyes. "Yeah sure."
"How's your girlfriend?" He asks me.
"Andie is not my girlfriend ok?"
He shrugs. "Could've fooled me."
"She's just a girl I've fucked a few times, that's all." I scoff and roll my eyes. I point at him, "You're the one with the girlfriend."
"Yeah, but I'm breaking up with her." Enzo gets up from the couch, opens the fridge and takes out a beer. Giving me and himself one. "She cheated on me with her ex." He opens it and drinks a huge gulp of it.
"So she was a whore too?" He nods. We should've known. If a girl can be that hot then there's something wrong with her, either she's a lesbian or a whore. I guess she was the second option.
"You have bad luck with Women." He chuckles and flashes his middle finger at me.
"You do too mate, don't know what you're talking about." Enzo's not wrong though. Sure I get all the hot girls but I never have a relationship with them because they're already in one. Plus the girls always get all clingy.
"Yeah I know, don't need you to remind me." I sip on my beer and face the tv.
"Katherine asked for you today. She wants to see you." Katherine was the only girl I had a relationship with when I was out of Highschool. She looks kinda like Elena. But acted totally different, she would want to party everyday and get drunk every night. Now that sounds amazing to me, but she would also cheat on me with every guy she saw. So I dumped her and moved on, her on the other hand, can't let go of me. I mean who could?
"Again? She needs to move on, I did."
"You need to tell her that, she came to see me yesterday at work. She wouldn't leave me alone until I gave her your new phone number." That grabs my attention, and I turn to face him.
"Enzo! What the fuck?!" He shrugs and smirks. Now Katherine's gonna annoy me.
"I'm helping you, dumbass." How could giving Katherine frickin Pierce my number help me?
"Oh yeah? How?"I reply, clearly wanting him to continue.
"You need a date if you wanna go to the reunion, if you don't have one, you'll be the only lonely person there mate."
"So? I can just find another girl that isn't Katherine."
He nods. "True, but what would Elena think if you went to you reunion with a slut?" I shrug.
"She probably wouldn't care."
He points his finger at me. "If you showed up with a slut she wouldn't, but if you showed up with a girl that looks kinda like her, she'll think that you're to replace her and she'll get totally pissed. Maybe even jealous."
Enzo has a point. When me and Elena were dating in highschool, whenever a girl would stare at me, she would get tell them to back off since I was her's. People would find it scary but I would find it sexy.
"Fair point." I rub my chin and think. "Fine, I'll go with her."
"Great, cause she's gonna invite her hot friend and I'm going to take her." Enzo says as he takes a sip of his beer.
I nod and watch the tv.
"We have to get our suits to though." Damn, I forgot about the suits. Even though me and Enzo don't even have to try to get ladies, we have to look good. Just to get the ladies looking our way.
"Right, I forgot about those."
"We gotta get them, the reunion is 2 days away now. It was 3 yesterday."
"I'm not an idiot Enzo, I know how to count and check a calendar."
"I know, I just thought you were drunk and didn't know."
"This", I point to the beer bottle in my hand, "Doesn't get me drunk. I need something stronger than that, like bourbon or whiskey."
"Sorry, guess I'm drunk." Enzo chuckles and takes a huge sip of his beer before finally putting it on the table.
I laugh as well. He's obviously drunk.
Sorry for taking a while to update, but thanks for reading!
