I'm back *sigh*. I'm tired. I can't wait for school to be over. God, I have a camping trip and two graduations in one weekend, so no updates Friday – Sunday. Sorry. Please enjoy all the chapters until then.

College Away From You

Part Ten: Katherine's Little Boy Toy

The mall was crammed with people and Damon was constantly complaining. "It's packed, you know how I hate people."

Elena glared and Cara chuckled. "I'm aware, I've been your only friend in 145 years. I get it. Now come on stop complaining, we're almost done."

"I'll stop complaining when we get to a change room." Damon smirked. Elena hit him and said, "No, not in a change room!"

"In a fountain?" He asked. Elena glared and said, "That's worse than the change room!"

Cara watched the bickering fight until she saw someone sitting in a coffee shop with Samantha. Cara's jaw dropped. "Who's that with Samantha?"

Damon and Elena stopped bickering and looked over to the café. Damon groaned and then looked to Cara's whose jaw was open. Damon took his finger and closed it shut.

"My little brother." Damon frowned as Elena looked over to Cara.

"What's his name?" Cara asked.

"Stefan, I think we told you about him." Elena said as Stefan looked up and waved at them. Cara giggled and turned red.

"Oh my god. She's you six years ago." Damon frowned.

"What?" Elena asked.

"You thought Stefan was the best guy on the planet until you finally realized that I was the better, older, hotter brother so you switched from Team Stefan to Team Damon." Damon said with a smirk.

"You make it sound like I switched gender preferences." Elena sighed.

"No, because then I wouldn't get you in bed." Damon smirked. Elena laughed and Cara frowned at them.

"Too much information guys." Cara said as Elena's phone went off. Damon looked over to her and she checked out her text.

Who's your friend? She seems to stare a lot. – Stefan.

Damon smirked and said, "Ok, let's keep walking so he doesn't think that Cara here is a stalker."

"I'm just starring." Cara muttered.

Cara, don't mind her we're just walking away. ~Elena.

Elena put her phone in her pocket and continued to walk away with Damon and Cara. Cara stopped at almost every store that had purple or dark blue in the window. Damon on the other hand stopped at every designer store.

Do you mind introducing us later? – Stefan.

Nope, not at all. ~Elena.

Damon was sitting on the change room couch with Elena as Cara came out with her purchases, still talking about Stefan. Damon rolled his eyes. He never did like the topic of Saint Stefan.

"What's he like?" Cara asked them.

"Brooding, depressing, buzz kill." Damon simply said. Elena frowned. "He can be those, but he's very sweet and caring."

"Says the girl who slept with him for about 6 months." Damon frowned.

"Hey, I only slept with him like twice." Elena shot back.

"How did you survive? We've been together since Friday and I've slept with you twice, and we did it in the shower once. So three times."

"Congratulations, you had me more times then Stefan, do you want a cookie?" Elena asked sarcastically.

"If my cookie is you then yes." Damon smirked. Cara looked back and smiled. "How many girlfriends has he had?"

"2 if you must know little Miss Questions." Damon said as she paid for the clothing. "Well I guess three with that new girl."

"Hmm, really." Cara smiled.

"Can we stop talking about Stefan, I never really have liked him." Damon said.

"He told me you two used to be best friends when you were human." Elena stated.

"Fine, fine. We were best friends but Katherine ruined that." Damon huffed. "Can we not talk about the past or Stefan?"

"Ok." Elena smiled as Damon put his arm around her as they walked to the exit.

Do you and Cara want to come to the hotel room I have? –Stefan.

We actually have something to do, but how about tomorrow after school? ~Elena

Ok, do you need my information on where to find me? – Stefan

That'd be perfect! ~Elena

The Grand Pallor Hotel, Floor 34, Room 472 –Stefan

Ok, See you tomorrow?

Yeah, see you then.

"Now we have to make one more stop before, we have the whole night to ourselves." Damon smirked suggestively at Elena before starting to car and driving off to a field.

"What are we doing here?" Cara asked.

"We're here for a herb." Elena said as she got out and saw the variety of purple flowers.

"You're going to have to do it." Damon said as he sat on the hood of his car and sighed.

"Ok, just think, I won't be able to touch you all night." Elena smirked as she started to enter the field of flowers.

"You can get it off in the shower!" Damon retorted as Elena squat down and picked up a few flowers and looked over to Damon, "What do I do with them?"

"Just hold them until you come back and we'll put them in a jar or something." Damon frowned as he sat back onto the windshield and Cara came out.

"Why can't you go in there?" She asked. Damon looked over to her and said, "Poisonous to vampires, burns your skin, but not as bad as the sun."

"Why do you go out in the sun then? Shouldn't you technically be a pile of ash?" Cara asked harshly.

"Yeah, but I have this mystical little ring that protects me." Damon said pointing to the blue stone as Elena walked back with more vervain then he needed.

"Got enough?" Damon asked as Elena came out smelling almost repulsive to Damon.

"I figured I'd need some for around the house." Elena smirked.

"Oh, funny. It's like your trying to get rid of me." Damon frowned and got into the passengers seat and then backs out with a jar.

"Do you just keep a random jar in your dash?" Elena asked.

"It's none of your business." Damon laughed as he passed it to Elena. Elena cringed but placed the vervain in the jar and then into the backseat while Cara scooted in. Elena got into the passengers seat and Damon could feel his eyes burning up. He was so glad that he was using Elena's car and not his personal one.

"Are your eyes bugging you?" Elena asked with a laugh.

"Don't push it Elena, I could easily just as easily throw you out the door." Damon threatened.

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Elena said with a sarcastic tone.

"Funny." Damon said as he drove back to the house. Damon stopped, turned off the car and only heard one person inside the house.

"There's only one person in the house." Damon stated as Cara grabbed the jar still unsure why they needed it.

"One? Drew or Katherine." Elena asked.

"Drew, there's a heartbeat." Damon stated. Damon looked around. Nightfall was here and he knew that Katherine was a nighttime hunter girl. She always hunted at night.

"She's out hunting, we can get it into his system and ready for tomorrow's or possibly even tonight's bite." Damon said as they all got out of the car.

"Bite?" Cara asked.

"I'll explain later." Elena said as they walked inside. Elena walked in and greeted Drew who seemed to be watching TV.

"Hey." Drew smiled.

"You want a coffee?" Elena asked as she brought the jar into the kitchen.

"Sure, I'd love some." Drew said as Cara took a seat and Damon made his way to the kitchen.

"Can you please go for a shower? Please? I don't want to have to go to that college cock blocked.

"What do I get out of it?" Elena asked as she squeezed some of the vervain flowers into a cup and then filled the rest with coffee.

"An orgasm?" Damon asked with a smirk. Elena rolled her eyes as she brought the coffee cup to Drew and he quickly chugged it. Elena smiled and then quickly disposed of all the flowers and she took away the scent with an air freshener that probably could out power the smell of gasoline.

"I'm home." Katherine's voice dripped through and Damon cringed as Elena walked into the bathroom to start the shower.

"Thank god, I was worried." Damon stated sarcastically as he walked into the bathroom behind Elena. Katherine heard a bicker until there was nothing except the two of them in the shower.

"Well I had some things to take care of." Katherine smirked and then looked to Cara.

"We'll be in the bedroom." Katherine smirked as she led Drew off. Cara was shocked. She looked just like Elena but she was blonde and seemed like a little bit of a bitch.

Cara walked into her room and started on that paper that was due the next day.

"Who were you texting?" Samantha asked as Stefan brought her home.

"An old friend." Stefan said.

"A girl old friend?" Samantha asked harshly.

"Yes, Elena and her friend Cara." Stefan said as they reached the porch steps.

"I don't like that! Especially you with me at the time." Samantha snapped.

"I'm with you?" Stefan asked. This was never discussed. He didn't even know.

"Not anymore!" Samantha said as she walked inside and slammed the door. Stefan frowned, what a bitch he thought as he walked away and towards the hotel. He had to clean the place up a little since he had Elena and Cara coming over the next day.

"Goal!" Jessica yelled as she stood up when Ovechkin scored a goal against Pittsburgh's goalie Fleury.

Matt smiled as they sat in his hotel room watching the hockey game. Jessica was totally into it and so was he. They took their teams and they were playing around.

"I'm going to lose five bucks." Matt said as she sat down beside him and smiled.

"Possibly, but I'm going to make some nachos. You want anything?" Jessica asked. Matt smiled and said, "Can you make salsa with them?"

"You have the ingredients?" Jessica asked. Matt shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probably, you stocked the whole fridge."

"Hmm, I'll check." She said as Matt followed her into the kitchen. A few minutes later and they had a nacho platter complete with salsa. The game ended with 5-2 for Washington and Matt paid up to Jessica.

"Well, I better get going, unfortunately school's tomorrow and I have to get some sleep." Jessica said as she gave a soft kiss to Matt and grabbed her belongings.

"I'll meet up with you there." Matt smiled.

"Meet me at the on campus Café at 7:30. Ok?" Jessica asked.

"Ok, but coffee's on you." Matt smiled.

"No it's technically on you." Jessica said with the five-dollar bill in her hand. Matt smiled as she walked out the door. Maybe he had finally found someone who was his equivalent.

"Do you want some?" Drew asked as Katherine licked up his neck.

"Yes." Katherine said as she extracted her fangs and dug them into his neck. Drew smirked and it started to feel great until Katherine started choking.

"Katherine?" Drew asked worldly as she fell to the ground and Damon and Elena burst into the room.
