OMG, an update?! How can this be? I'm sorry it's been almost a month guys but I did warn you that school was starting back. I'd been adding bits to this chapter for the past few weeks but last night I just thought to myself "right. I need to finish this now." and so here it is. It's more of a filler chapter, I wanted to update because of all your lovely reviews! And I had a great birthday, thanks for the messages. Again, my next update probably won't be for another few weeks, I'll try quicker but if I can't then sorry. - Jessica.

"You did WHAT?" Elena screeched.

"I... I switched schools." Elijah repeated for the third time, swallowing the lump in his throat. "I thought you'd be happy."

"Elijah you can't just go around switching schools, you should have told me!"

"I wanted it to be a surprise." he mumbled, two spots of red appearing over his cheeks. "You said you were dreading going back to school, you'd have no one to talk to. I thought you'd be pleased."

Elena felt instantly guilty, he was embarrassed and she was the cause of it, he was only trying to help her after all. She had been frequently complaining about having no friends at school and being a laughing stalk, Elijah being the gentleman as always was trying to help her out. This really was all her fault.

"Listen, I'm um sorry. I'm just really shocked." Elena half smiled whilst she awkwardly patted his back. They were in her room, Elena cross legged on her bed whilst Elijah perched at the edge of it, and currently his head was dipped in embarrassment.

"Yeah I can see that." he sat up straighter and glared at her. "I just figured you'd be happy. I did it for you."

Elena hesitated for a moment. Surely this was the worst time possible to tell Elijah? Not only to tell him that they were over but that she'd cheated on him with her ex boyfriend who'd punched him just for kissing her. He'd only wasted a full summer being a perfect gentleman as he waited for his new girlfriend to get over some idiot guy who humiliated her, but who he secretly knew she was never really going to get over anyway. Oh, and to top it all off her and set boyfriend were now back together and he'd have to see them every day at his new school he'd recently transferred to so he could be close to his girlfriend. No, that would never do. The timing was as off as it could be, she'd just have to tell him some other time.

"I'm happy you're joining my school." Elena finally said after a long silence.

"Really?" Elijah met his brightened eyes with hers, the blush faded slightly from his cheeks.

"Really." She smiled.

"Good." he leaned in to kiss her but she changed it to a hug, placing a kiss on his shoulder. When he pulled back to give her a questioning stare she averted his gaze and turned her attention to what movie they should watch.

"We've not saw Limitless yet."

"Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?"

"Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?" Elena mumbled cuddling into Damon's naked chest

"Not nearly as much as I missed you." Damon whispered.

"Ok shut up now this is getting way too corny. Where is that hot, badass guy I fell in love with?"

"Badass?" Damon raised his eyebrows. "Oh baby, you haven't seen badass yet." And then, a rustle of bed sheets, a high pitched giggle and a lot of moaning.

"Damon, I need to tell you something." Elena mumbled later on that night, buttoning up his shirt over her naked chest.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look wearing my clothes?" Damon leaned in to kiss her but Elena turned her head away.

"No, this is serious." she glared.

"Can't it wait? I went practically a full summer without you, I need you. In every possible aspect and right now that aspect is purely physical."

"Well it's gonna have to wait." Elena pushed away Damon's attempts to kiss her again. He pouted.

"It's about Elijah." Elena blurted out.

There was a moment's hesitation before Damon finally just rolled his eyes. "Now this can be left till later, you're in my bed - talking about your ex is not appropriate!"

"Then we can get out the bed, whatever! I need to tell you this now Damon."

"Fine." he rolled his eyes again. "Then spit it out."

If Elena thought her reaction to Elijah telling her was bad then she couldn't even describe Damon's reaction.

"HE'S WHAT?" he shouted for about the 15th time, pacing up and down his bedroom.

"You know what." Elena sighed. "I've told you about 8 times."

"But Elijah's older than us, he finished school before summer."

"He's repeating apparently." Elena said weakly. "He didn't do as well as expected in his exams, he's sitting maths again."

"So he'll be in our class, well that's just terrific!" Damon plastered a fake grin on his face. "Can't wait, maths buddies for life."

"At least he'll only be at school two and a half days a week Damon, that's a bonus I guess."

"Two days, why only two?" Damon inquired.

"And a half." Elena stressed. "And, well he's only retaking two classes so there's no point in him being here when those classes aren't running."

"What other class?"

Elena bit her lip and averted her gaze. "You know what, it doesn't even matter, it's-"

"What. Class. Elena?"

A gulp. "He'll be in your Advanced Chemistry class."

"Oh." Damon furrowed his brows. That wasn't what he was expecting, he was expecting biology or geography - a class Elena was in without him. Damon sighed; he supposed that was as good as he could have hoped under these circumstances. "Terrific."

Elena rolled her eyes and leaned back in to kiss him to which he responded with almost reluctance.

"Wait..." he broke off several minutes later. "So, him moving… to our school... that means, you, you haven't broken up with him yet?"

Elena gulped again; she'd been hoping to avoid that conversation for as long as she could. "Ummmm..."

"ELENA!" Damon growled, untangling himself from her and getting out the bed. "So you're fucking cheating on him? What exactly are we then? Friends with benefits? Fuck buddies? I thought I was past all that with any girl."

"No, no." Elena jumped over to the other side of the bed and clasped both his hands, with him towering over her she felt as if she was grovelling to him. "It's not going to be like that!"

"Seems like it."

"Damon," Elena pleaded. "he transferred schools for ME I can't just say "thanks for the thought babe but we're finished" I'm sorry if you think I should but I won't end it like that and then flaunt our new relationship in his face."

Damon huffed, clearly annoyed but reluctantly shook his head. "Just a week or two right?"

"When he's settled in, met some friends... then I'll end it."

"Fine." he sighed. Collapsing back onto the bed, his feet swung over Elena's knees that were still in an almost begging position. "If I can last that long."

"You'll be fine."

"When I see him kissing you..."

"Damon," Elena frowned. "do you not know me well enough to know I hate PDA?"

"Of course YOU do," Damon shot back. "but Elijah might like it."

"So?"

Damon saw there was no point in continuing this argument - he wasn't going to win and besides, he should be taking every precious second with Elena, who knew how much he'd see her these next few weeks? Taking her in his arms and laying her down beside him he placed a tender kiss to her forehead. "I love you, Elena Gilbert." he whispered slowly.

Elena, eyes closed and a lazy grin spread across her face, didn't reply, did not want to break the spell over them and instead, just moved her hand to hold Damon's.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Well don't you look delicious on your first day back at school." Elena jumped as a familiar voice called behind her. It was the first day of school and she was at her locker, filling it with extra pens and notepads in case she ever ran out. Despite Elijah's comments, Elena's appearance was nothing desirable, nothing like the new starts who were dressed up in brand-spanking new dresses and squeaky clean shoes. After spending the majority of her life in school Elena ceased to bother about looking nice for her first day of her last year. Just an old flowery skirt, sandals and a white vest top, her hair pulled back in a ponytail and her glasses. After all, she had not one but two boyfriends (granted, one was a secret) who loved her for who she was - who did she have to impress?

"Thank you, you're looking pretty swav yourself." She turned around to meet him with a hug, too scared of wandering eyes and gossip to kiss him in public.

"I know." Elena could feel his smirk from the hug, her body vibrated as he laughed at his own cockiness.

"So what lesson have you got first?"

"Advanced Chemistry with, um, Dr Woodhouse... oh, and your delightful ex boyfriend."

Elena smiled sadly. "Well I have geography." she grimaced, hurriedly changing the subject. The bell rung saving her from further conversation. "Okay I'll see you at break! Try not to get lost!"

"Bye, love."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Two arms swamped around her waist, lips nibbled at her ear, cool breath tickling her skin. "Damon, you really shouldn't be in the girls' bathroom."

A growl erupted from his throat. "Shut up." He was already yanking her into the nearest bathroom cubicle and before she could blink, she was shoved up against the locked door. Hitching her up around his waist, Elena couldn't help but giggle, it may have been cliché like an 80's movie but his need for her was so damn hot! Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him close to touch her lips to his.

"You have no idea how much it kills me that I can't do that all the time." Damon moaned several minutes later. "When I saw you hugging him earlier, I just want to grab you and pull you to me because you're mine and no one else's. Please don't kiss him in front of me I don't think I could handle it." Elena could have cried at his pleading tone, disconnecting her legs from his waist she did quick to yank her panties down and pull her top over her head.

"Damon we have about ten minutes left until free period is over, its lunch and this toilet gets swarmed with girls. Are you seriously going to spend it complaining about not being able to be with me when I'm here right in front of you?"

"Fair point." Damon smirked. "You know, I've always wanted to have sex in school."

"You haven't already?!"

Elena saw his eyes darting frantically as he thought to himself. "You know I've always wanted to have sex in school in the girls' bathroom in this particular cubicle." He corrected.

Elena slapped his chest playfully. "Oh Mr Salvatore don't you know how to flatter a girl?"

"All the girls say I'm quite the charmer." Damon winked as tugged at Elena's skirt which quickly descended downwards. Then he pulled something out the back of his jeans pockets before lowering them.

"You brought a condom to school?"

"Better to be safe that sorry."

"Dick." Elena sighed, shaking her head as he put it on.

"You love it. And I'm not talking about my sparkling personality here." positing himself at her entrance, Damon entered her in one swift move and Elena soon had to bite down on his shoulder to stop herself from screaming the full school down.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Hey, where've you been?" Elijah whispered to Elena as she joined him in the cafe. It was the fourth day back and school and Elijah had slowly but surely been making a bunch of new friends. Apparently the fact that he lived uptown didn't bother most people; he wasn't there for trouble, only to study. He had befriended a group of 'inbetweeners' Elena guessed you could call them. A nice bunch, not nerds but by no means popular, invited to a few parties but many people would have difficultly remembering all of their names. There were about 10 of them, a mixed sex group who'd taken Elijah under their wing. And they were lovely to Elena who had by no means the popularity to judge anybody.

"I was in the bathroom, err lady problems." Not exactly true. The actual truth was she had been on her regular… meeting with Damon in the ladies room. In this particular one he'd stolen her panties and she could feel the absence of them every time she took a step in her short skirt.

"Oh okay." Elijah smiled taking a bite of his homemade sandwich - a wise choice considering the cafeteria food Elena was just about to force down.

"I'll be back," Elena assured as she stood up. "I'm just going to grab some lunch."

Elijah just nodded, absentmindedly, indulged in the laughable debate his female peers were having: "Which TV Couple belonged together more - Hanna and Caleb or Ezra and Aria?"

"Fascinating." She thought to herself sarcastically as she walked towards the end of the lunch queue.

Grabbing a tray Elena hadn't even picked up her daily apple yet before she felt a sharp breeze between her legs. A gasp escaped her lips as she yanked her skirt down quickly; doing so she was met with velvety laughter.

"Commando? I like it!"

"Not my choice." She grumbled looking straight ahead as she tried to pretend her conversation with Damon wasn't happening.

"Oooo the silent treatment?" Damon chortled. "Nice."

Silence.

"Okaaaaay, but I have a proposition for you. You ditch your boyfriend and meet me in the gymnasium locker room in 15 minutes? Round 2?"

"There was never even a round 1, asshole. Go away." Elena hissed through clenched teeth as she shuffled her tray along and picked up a form of white paste, labelled as Macaroni cheese. Though Damon was the last in the lunch queue Elena was all too certain many people in front of her were craning their necks to listen into their conversation.

"Last period?" Damon pursued. "its great being in sixth form isn't it? All these free periods..."

"I have to study, revise my biology notes."

"Study me, I'm biology."

"No, Damon." Elena hissed, moving to pay.

"Ok so I'll see you last period then?"

"Damon? Get lost. Go and find another play toy, I have a boyfriend now." Elena's voice was filled with frustration and rage; she had raised it to a louder-than-average sound and now anybody within a few meters or so of them could hear with ease.

"Oh come on Elena, you don't really want that stuck up asshole, you still want me."

"Oh please!" Elena laughed, rolling her eyes. "Get over yourself; you're not all that you know."

"That's not what you were screaming when you saw my dick; it was more like 'Oh Damon, you just have the full package, don't you?'"

"That was 3 months ago love, I've grew up since then. I've saw better." Elena smirked. "And bigger. Now leave me alone please." By now everyone in the cafeteria including the lunch ladies - and the teachers on lunch duty though they were trying to act nonchalant - were listening, Elena saw Elijah laughing out the corner of her eye.

"Oooo cheating on Elijah are we?! Cause I know it can't be his, he ain't got one."

"It's bigger than yours."

Damon's eyes darkened and the somewhat playful tone he'd had left. "You were an okay fuck Elena. Nothing special. A way to kill time and get $100. Don't go about thinking you're anything, you were a challenge, that's all."

"So it's came down to insulting my bedroom skills? Oh sweetie, I thought you were better than that."

And with that, Elena turned her back on Damon and walked towards Elijah. "I'm sorry you had to hear that." she whispered. "we had unfinished words."

"You were magnificent." Elijah's eyes glistened with... pride? "I'm glad I was there to hear that, made my year."

Elena smiled. "It felt good."

Glancing up she noticed Damon was standing with Matt and Mason, a grin plastered on his face... as in nothing had ever happened.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"That was some good acting you did, baby."

"It really was, wasn't it?"

"Your finest work."

Damon grinned and pulled Elena into his arms, kissing her slowly and passionately. Luckily the kiss made up in the romance department for what the spot they were hiding in - the equipment room next to the sports field - lacked.

"I hate this." he sighed as he pulled away. "I feel I have to savour you when I have you and I have to do that through kisses or sex. I feel like we never have time to talk."

"Wow. Damon Salvatore complaining about too much sex?"

"Not yet babe." Damon smirked. "but I can feel like that'll be the routine for the next few weeks, stolen kisses and sex in bathrooms."

"I can always come to yours at night? I'd say mines but Jer isn't too fond of you and well, who can blame him?"

Damon cringed. "I don't regret it Elena. Because of that stupid bet, I met you. I just wish so much that it'd been under different circumstances."

Elena just sighed. "Let's not talk about this. We can talk about it tonight. Your place?"

"It will be fine tonight but Stefan gets home tomorrow. He might see us."

"Do you think he'll care though?"

Damon sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Speaking of," Elena frowned. "He's not been at school all of the first week, where the hell is he?"

"My father has dragged him to a stupid golf outing, basically an excuse for him to pass out from alcohol abuse with a bunch of rich, stuck up twats and his son will be there to carry him home."

"And your mum didn't mind that Stefan was missing the first week of school?"

Damon shrugged. "Originally father asked me to attend with him but I told him I was too busy, he never gave my brother the choice in the matter."

"Too busy doing what?" Elena laughed.

"Maybe if you stopped talking I'd show you."

Elena just laughed, once again lost in the wonder of Damon Salvatore.

"So how have you enjoyed your first week at Mystic Falls High School?" Elena asked Elijah as they sipped ice coffee in Starbucks. It was Friday afternoon and Elijah had suffered his three days - half of Monday, Thursday and Friday - of school.

"It was great!" Elijah grinned enthusiastically. "I thought most people would hate me, you know for where I live and all but everyone's being really friendly."

"That's good news!" Elena smiled. "Oh, and I never even asked you, how did Klaus, Kol and Rebekah feel about you switching schools?"

Elijah hesitated momentarily and then shrugged. "Confused I guess, they thought it was stupid that the main reason was for you but I guess they don't understand us."

Elena kept the smile on her face in place but felt her eyes widen, talk about pressure! "I feel really pressured now, I have to admit." she giggled nervously. "If things don't work out... somehow."

"Elena," Elijah cut her off with a smile. "I have every faith in us but if it turns out we're not compatible and we go our separate ways then I won't mind, we'll just let nature take its course. No pressure."

"No pressure?" Elena sighed, relieved.

"None at all."

Elena smiled gratefully.

"This is it, girl." she thought to herself. "end it with him now, fast and easy. Like a band aid." She opened her mouth, about to spill everything to Elijah, tell him it was over, tell him about Damon, and tell him everything… until his next words stopped her right in her tracks.

"Unless it was because of Damon. I mean, I know you wouldn't, I know you're smarter than that. But that man Lena… every time I see him, every time he speaks I want to tear him to pieces and then spit on them for what he did to you. If we did ever break up and he wormed his way back into your life... I just don't know what I'd do."

Elena just ducked her head and took an unattractive slurp of her coffee. "As if I'd go back to him." she snorted. "As. If."

Yeah, sorry for mistakes, I haven't proof read it tbh and I've not read over it so it might get jumbled. I am actually really busy, I have quotes to learn and essays to write for English as well as French verbs, oh the joys of school! So, I just wanted to get this out to all y'awl so you didn't think I'd left you. Review, leave ideas as to what you think is going to happen, etc. I already have an idea mapped out in my head, lets just pray I can put that idea into words quickly!
