School of the Damned

Chapter 10

When the bell rang, Elena barely caught a blur of Damon's shirt before she went rushing after him. She knew this wasn't good, but she had to convince him to play along and do whatever the teacher said. She knew that she hated being in a school full of supernaturals, but she didn't want to start her very first day off fighting with a teacher about a partner switch.

"This is a disaster" Damon said.

He must had heard her following.

"Damon please listen to me."

He turned around stopping near inches in front of her face. She never noticed how pretty Damon's blue eyes were before until this moment. She slapped those thoughts away and sent him a half hearted smile instead.

"We need to take this assignment seriously Damon. I know we're supposed to be cousins and all but I don't want to fail my very first assignment, because you're too sensitive. Now suck it up and be my partner. We're cousins so we should at least show how much we know about each other."

"Fine. I'll try, but only because I want to pass."

Elena nodded her head pleased that she had made progress.

"I'll see you in our next class together Damon."

"Well it should at least be an interesting experience. I'll see you there Elena."

Elena felt herself smiling as she watched Damon walk away. It wouldn't be that bad to get to know Damon. He was nice enough and he was also one of the people she was trusting with her life right now so she should probably get to know him and the others as well. She would have to set aside one day for each of them this week to get to know them better.

Elena remembered to ask about that later as she made her way to neuroscience. Finally a class that Elena was actually excited for. She expected a bunch of people as interested in the subject as she was. What she didn't expect to see however was Rebekah sitting in the front row. So much for having one class hwere she didn't have to deal with the bullshit.

She sat down in the second row ignoring Rebekah as her professor Jo Parker came in. She was excited to learn more from an actual witch, but even more excited to hear about the joys of Neuroscience.

"Alright class let's see how well you prepared. Today I am picking two names from a hat to see who knows more about Neuroscience. Whoever gets to five first is our winner and will battle the next student. Alright for our first students we have Rebekah and Elena. Come on down girls."

Elena fought the urge to complain as she made her way up to one of the podiums up front. Normally Elena didn't care about winning such things, but she would love to stick it to Rebekah for once. Amazingly Rebekah was pretty good at answering questions and unfortunately for Elena she had been the first to reach five leaving the final score 5 to 3. Rebekah turned to Elena with a smug smile on her face.

"Better luck next time Elena."

Elena returned to her seat and watched Rebekah pulverize the completion one by one until the bell rang. Elena threw her backpack over her shoulder and went to one of the classes that she was dreading that day.

It was finally time to meet the in-betweens.

Elena finally managed to find Janelle as they both walked into the classroom together. It was small in size, but Elena would get to know all these people personally in the next couple of months. The teacher smiled at Elena as she made all the in-betweens sit on the floor as if they were in kindergarten. Apparently she wanted everyone to introduce themselves and this was the way to do it. At least se would only have to meet eight more people.

They all went around a circle introducing themselves. First it was Janelle who Elena already knew and she got to know the names of the in-betweens as well. Niomi was another one. She looked nice enough to talk to every once in a you got past the pink hair that is. Next was Kyle Niomi's more or less boyfriend. And if Stefan didn't already have her heart she would have found Kyle rather attractive with his sandy brown hair and blue eyes. Then a girl named Ever was next. She had the prettiest gray eyes that Elena had ever seen, but Elena wasn't going to comment on it especially whenever she also had flaming red hair to look at. Vanessa was next on the list. She was the shortest one there, but her looks matched so everything was okay in her book. Selena and Jack were also a couple in the class, Selena had dark hair while Jack had blonde. It was interesting to say the least, but they were very cute the last two were siblings who were named Daisy and Lilly. Elena smiled at all of them as they shared a few things about themselves. She found herself laughing at something Niomi was telling her when the bell rang.

Well here's goes nothing. It was time for her to go to the class she was most dreading. She juat hoped she wouldn't get caught.
