I hope you all enjoy this chapter! :)

The next day at school, Bonnie and Caroline walked up to Elena. Caroline had a smile plastered to her face. "I have to get to class." Elena made a feeble attempt at brushing by them, but Bonnie grabbed her arm.

"Elena," Bonnie's voice was stern, like a disapproving mother, "quit running from us." Now no one was smiling, real or fake.

"Running?" Anyone standing in hearing distance could tell Elena was angry. "I haven't been running, Bonnie." Now she was clenching her teeth, trying to keep herself steady. She didn't know what would happen if she lost control here. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to be late to my class." Elena slipped between the two girls. Caroline and Bonnie watched her disappear around a corner at the end of the hall.

Damon was bored at home while Elena was at school; at least she was keeping him entertained with text messages.

"Vampires can't procreate. We do love to try, though. ;) " Damon was watching the clock until 1:45 when he could drive to the high school and pick up his girlfriend. They had made it official this morning when he stopped by to bring her a blood bag.

":P but umm Stefan is smiling at me…" Elena texted back.

"Woah, alert the media!" Damon replied jokingly. He laughed to himself at his joke.

"You're sooo funny." Damon shrugged at Elena's response to his crack at Stefan. Oh well, everyone couldn't have a sense of humor like him. "I hope you didn't forget tonight is the homecoming dance."

"Dammit." Damon growled. He had forgotten.

Arriving at the dance, Damon scanned the room for any dangers. With no threats popping out at him, Damon's mind was at ease. He escorted Elena in like the gentleman no one had ever seen him be. He cleaned up nice in a black tux. Heads turned when he walked to the dance floor with Elena in tow.

Caroline and Stefan stood together at the punch table, observing Damon and Elena dancing. "They look so cute together." Caroline smiled approvingly.

"Please, don't talk." Stefan drawled.

Caroline gave him a dirty look. "Gosh, you sound like Damon." She went back to sipping her punch. Stefan ignored her.

When Elena was in the bathroom, Stefan went up to Damon. "What were you trying to warn me about before?" Stefan asking, holding onto Damon's sleeve.

"That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot." Damon punctuated each 'dot' in the air with his pointer finger and smirked at the clueless Stefan. "BTW, that means by-the-way, quit gawking at Elena." Damon patted Stefan on the back and walked away with a big grin.

"Damon!" Stefan called after him. Damon stopped but didn't turn around. "I'm going to be seeing a lot of Elena." This made Damon whip around. He was an inch away from Stefan before anyone could see him move.

"What are you getting at little brother?" A low growl erupted from Damon's throat.

"She's captain of the cheerleading squad again." Stefan smiled. "And I joined the football team."

Damon faked peppiness, "That's so ra-ra-go team!" Damon did an enthusiastic fist pump and turned on his heel before Stefan could hold him up anymore.

I hope this chapter was good :)!
