A/N: Prepare to hate ;)

Having to go to school the next day was not something Bonnie looked forward to. But because she couldn't weasel her way out of it she made it her sole duty to avoid everyone else. Yet no matter how hard she tried she couldn't seem to avoid, "Jeremy." Her voice broke off when they bumped into each other out side of main office.

Staring him in the eyes for a brief moment Bonnie bit down on her lip trying to find the right words to say. Sorry I nearly killed you would have been on the right track but even that didn't feel right. So instead she walked away. "Bonnie, wait!" He called after her.

Turning around she felt the same surge of energy that once resided inside of her. "What's up?" She asked as casually as the situation allowed.

Closing the distance between them Jeremy adjusted the strap to his backpack upon his shoulder and sighed heavily before smiling. "I forgive you—for nearly killing me." He spoke out jokingly and it made her giggle a little bit. Just that quickly things between them returned to what seemed fairly normal.

"Thanks," she answered with her head down. "That means a lot."

"I know you would never really kill me, or hurt me for that matter if it were up to you."

Lifting her head up she stared him in the eyes with furrowed eyebrows. "What do you mean?" Stepping aside to prevent a hallway traffic jam she waited for him to explain himself.

"Just that you must have been put up to it. Klaus must have compelled you or something."

Shaking her head no Bonnie ignored what he was insinuating. "No, he wouldn't do that. He knows how much I care about you." The words caught her off guard. They had managed to slip from her mind and out into the air. The look on his face ensured her that he'd heard her say it. "Um, so yeah thanks for accepting my imaginary apology, I should probably get going." With a failed attempt to walk away Jeremy now held her by the elbow; allowing his thumb to caress the skin on her arm.

"I still care about you too. Even after everything you told me." Jeremy's smile warmed her heart and she wasn't sure if it were the bell or an actual ringing that had now begun in her ears. But being with him like this, it was all a little too much for her.

Heart racing a bit she sucked in deeply. "I think class just started." A smile peeked out around the corners of her lips as she began to pull away from him. "I'll see you later Jer." This time he let her walk away, and when she thought it was safe to look back she did. And to her surprise he still stood there, with that goofy half smile she'd fallen in love with before.

The rest of the day went by and Bonnie had to do something she wished she never even signed up for. On one end of the field the football team practiced and on the other the cheerleaders. Back at the beginning of the year it was something she Elena and Caroline were overly joyed to do. But now, not so much. "No Bonnie, you kick on four not three. God how many times do I have to tell you?" Caroline questioned under her breath.

"I'm sorry what was that?" Bonnie questioned a little annoyed as she watched Caroline walk away shaking her head. Turning around she raised her hands to the sky.

"Nothing, lets just take it from the top." Caroline suggested before pressing play on the boombox. Bonnie's first instinct was to turn and shoot Elena a what the hell look; but seeing as how they weren't talking either really left her all alone. A few minutes into the routine, when Bonnie yet again missed the step Caroline called for a five minute water break.

Jogging to the water fountain Bonnie refilled her bottle. "What's wrong Love?" Klaus questioned and it made her jump.

Turning around she faced him. "You scared me," she blurted out while catching her breath. Calming down she nodded in the direction of Caroline and Elena.

"So then just leave." He suggested with a tempting smile but Bonnie resisted it.

"I wish, but we've got a pretty big game coming up. And that's the reason Caroline is in super bitch mode, well partly. Its just—ugh I wish she'd just get off my back about that freaking kick!" Bonnie shook her fist in the air then relaxed when she saw the expression on Klaus' face. "And you don't care about this at all."

Chuckling a little he licked his bottom lip. "No, no whatever is important to you is important to me." He made her smile. "I just came to let you know I'll be gone a little longer than I expected. But I shall keep in touch."

As he spoke Bonnie noticed both Elena and Caroline gawking at the two of them. "Alright." She answered before letting him kiss her softly on the forehead.

"And whatever insane things she wants you to do, I know you can. It's in your blood Love." Cupping her face in his hands their eyes met and a refreshing chill ran down her spine. As they parted Bonnie ran back to the group of girls with a big cheery smile.

"Lets do this." She spoke out while taking her spot in formation.

Rolling her eyes Caroline started the music. "Five-six-seven-eight!" Bonnie hit every move and landed in a split; noticing Klaus still at his car she gave him a wink. "Finally." Caroline muttered.

Once practice was over and Bonnie returned from the girls locker room; she ran into Jeremy yet again at the school's front doors. Only this time it was almost as if he were waiting for her.

"Took you long enough," he spoke out. The same goofy grin on his face.

"What are you doing her Jeremy?" She asked a little afraid of the answer she would get. Holding his hand out for her gym bag she handed it over to him reluctantly.

"Oh c'mon, like you don't know." He answered and laughed a little at her puzzled expression. "Just like old times, way back when." Her heart caught in her chest.

Trying to hide her now blushing cheeks she focused on her ground. "Yeah, way back when." She reminded him but he seemed to shrug her little jab off.

"So a little birdy told me Klaus is leaving." He changed the subject.

Stopping Bonnie raised an eyebrow. "Who? Caroline—of course she was eavesdropping."

"So it's true," he answered a question he hadn't asked. "Well then, that's good news."

Bonnie hadn't driven to school today so it meant he got to walk her all the way home. It wasn't that far of a walk but it was way more time together than was probably needed. "And why is that good news?" This time it was he who had stopped dead in their tracks.

Turning to face her, his smile disappeared and all that was left was completely seriousness. "Because it gives me a chance to win you back. And before you say it's impossible let me stop you. I saw how you looked at me back in front of the office. We both know that we still care about each other. Klaus is just a phase; we're forever Bonnie."

Not really knowing what to say Bonnie cleared her throat and continued to walk. "Um—"

"You'll see, by the time Klaus returns you'll be back in my arms. But until then, how was your day?"

This walk with Jeremy had definitely done it's number on Bonnie, but she couldn't let him know that. She couldn't let him know how secretly excited he had made her. "The word interesting comes to mind." She joked with him as they ambled back to her house.

A/N: I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself! I've been missing Jeremy a little too much lately. But don't worry with more Jeremy comes a slightly off the hinges Klaus...maybe. Who knows? I think I know ;)
