Wow, okay so it took me way longer than I thought to bounce back from travel. I will admit, I have been home and able to write for a week now, however, I was sooo tired. I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. Anywho let's get onto what you all really came here for. Also, I'm sorry that this is such a short chapter, there wasn't really a better place to end it. However, to make it up to you all I'll write a long one next time!
History went okay, along with Algebra, and Literature. It was finally my free period right before lunch, this meant me and Jeremy were probably going back behind the school with the other burnouts. "You sure you don't want any?" Jer offered holding out the joint. While he had cooled off and I was never much one for drugs, however it never hurt to let off a little steam.
"Thanks, but I'll pass. With a Salvatore sucking my blood I don't want to risk it, whose to say Damon won't notice." I said leaning back and laying down on the concrete. We should be in the library or doing something productive, but nietherof us were feeling it. The whole group had Klaus bearing down on them, and now me and Jer had our added issues. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it would bug you this much..." I trailed off.
"It wouldn't if it weren't for the way he looked at you." He replied taking a large hit of off the tightly rolled joint. "Look he likes you ever since that night, he's been staring at you, and the way you react to those looks is a little more than concerning." I sighed at what he said, he wasn't wrong. It was starting to get harder and harder to avoid the older Salvatore, but that didn't mean I didn't like Jer, if I didn't I would leave him. "Look, I'm not going to start yelling or break up with you, but you two need figure eachother out, and what you want to do fast."
I nodded my head, there was no arguing that. "Yeah you're right, I'm sorry." CHecking my watch I sighed, free period was already coming to an end and then the lunch bell would ring. "Let's go start heading towards the cafateria." I stood up and brushed the dirt off of my clothes. Jer put out the joint and threw it over out of sight. Helping him up we started walking back into the building. I made no advances to show affection, I couldn't help but feel I had lost that right. Suddenly I felt rough calloused fingers reach for my hand, I couldn't help but smile and latched onto him.
"At least it looks like you two made up." Matt said as we walked over to the table that we all sat at. "However we still have to talk abou the whole Klaus issue."
"No." Me and my boyfriend said at the same time. Everyone at the table raised their eyebrows and I sat down quickly. "Look let the original throw his little pity party and plot away, he doesn't want me dead, and so far he hasn't made legitimate tries to kill any of you." I said and picked up my milk. "For now I just want to eat a disgusting school lunch, be terribly bored in classes, and act like a normal teenager." Stefan shot daggers at me and I sighed. They all thought it was stupid for me not to tackle my issues, little did my friends know I was great at procrastinating.
"So, how is it really getting back into school?" Elena asked me thankfully changing the subject.
"Good, I guess, boring." I said between bites, I still wasn't entirely comfortable around a bunch of seniors that I hardly knew. "That's good though, being thrust into the world of vampires hasn't been fun." I said. "How about you all, I mean Elena and Stefan have talked to me, the rest of you I've hardly seen. So all through lunch hour we ate, and talked about everything and anything except bloodscukers. Of course, unless you count literally anything about Stefan.
Soon enough the final bell rang and I sighed, walking back to my locker to collect my homework. "Are you going to be okay driving home?" Stefan asked me. Oh so he was being nice now!
"I'll be fine thanks for the concern." I said and slammed my locker shut, walking out towards the parking lot. "I guess this concern skipped your mind this morning?" I asked. I knew he was following me, of course he was, he is a Salvatore! Suddenly I was jerked off of the sidewalk and underneath one of the larger trees in the commons area outside of the school.
"Look, you are living in my house, and am my responsibilty. So no, I'm not going to allow someone like Damon suck your blood, or sleep with you!" He was shouting, but it wasn't threatening in the slightest. It was almost sweet how soft and caring he was being. "I got mad because I can't do this and neither can my brother, we don't know how to raise a teenager." The last sentence was said calmly and I leaned back against the tree relaxing. "Are you sure you'll be okay going home, you have hardly driven since the wreck."
"I'll be okay." I said and gave him a smile. "I don't think I've said this since I've gotten here, but thank you, for everything." I said and walked back out towards the parking lot. I'm sure he'd still be just as much of a stick in the mud, but at least he wasn't pissed at me still. That was a win.
