Chapter 3

Elena's Pov

3

I walked into my room. There was this guy journaling and sitting on my bed. He had dark hair, dangerous but kind dark eyes. He was definitely tall, and he had some pretty nice muscles too.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Well, I'm Damon, you're boyfriend dummy." He laughed. Then he did this eye thing.

Oh my god, I had no idea that he was my boyfriend, but that eye thing was super hot. Damon jumped up and came to me. He lifted me up and just spun me around. Stefan had never done that to me. Then we just flopped on the bed. We kind of made out and then things started to get a bit spicy. I was about to pull down his pants then…"

"Wake up, sleepy head! Rise and shine." I heard Caroline's voice. "Come on girl, today we get to stunt today. You are most likely to be a flyer again, and me, well I love being a base. And Rebekah will probably be a back spot. It's crazy that she's our friend now though. It was just last year that I hated her because she tried to steal Tyler from me. But whatever, we broke up anyway." She rolled her eyes. I knew she hated Tyler because of how he treated her sometimes.

"Hey, we do not talk about bad things this week. This week is about cheer." I opened the curtains. Damn it was so dark in our room at the Whitmore college dorms. It was crazy that we had only been here for a day. It felt like I hadn't been home in forever.

*Ahem* Caroline cleared her throat. "So, mind telling me about your little wet dream?" She raked her eyes over my body.

I turned my head to see that my shorts were wet around that certain area, and when I turned back around, Caroline was smirking and pointing at my bed. There was also a little wet spot. Holy shit. How did that tiny dream make me wet? I mean, even actual sex dreams, when I actually had done it didn't make me that wet.

"Shit. Um… I don't know." I replied reluctant to tell Caroline how it wasn't about Stefan. We had never really done it, so I wouldn't know how it was with Stefan but I had had dreams about it because I thought we were getting close to that part of our relationship. And Caroline had told me how she partially had small feelings about Stefan. But there was also our promise about hiding things to each other. "Ok, well, it was just this random guy who I've never met, in the dream his name was apparently Damon, and he was just journaling. Nothing much. We made out and we didn't even have sex. So I honestly don't even know why I'm wet." Wow, that was really hard and quick to explain.

"Um, ok. That's not weird at all. But the name Damon does sound kinda hot. Now go shower. I'll take the sheets to the laundry room." Caroline said.

"Thanks Care. You're the best." I called as I changed behind the room divider/folding screen.

For the rest of the week, the only things I could really think about were cheer and that guy Damon. Could he be real. Because I know this sounds bad but he seemed like a better guy than Stefan already. I mean, I love Stefan, but he's so reserved and pushes me away all the time. I know that he was treated terribly by that lady Kathrine, but he just seemed like he never wanted to do anything more than hold my hand and kiss. It was sad to think this way, but I just couldn't help it. Finally it was our last day, and we were finding out who was going to be on the cheer team at my high school, Mystic Falls High School.

"K girls, you all did great this week. I'm so proud of all of you. But this year we only have a few spots for new girls on the varsity. Five to be exact. Those five spots go to Elena Gilbert, Rebekah Mikaelson, Caroline Forbes, Tiki, and Dana. Thank you everyone else who came to this camp." I couldn't believe it. Both Caroline, Rebekah, and I made varsity cheer squad!

"Eeeeeek!" Caroline and Rebekah pulled me into a group hug.

"Ok Rebekah, we're gonna go and pack up. And then we heard that some guys in our dorm building are throwing a major party. Wanna go with us." Caroline asked.

"How is that even a question? Like duh." We agreed to meet up at five pm and tell the coach that we're having a sleepover again. Then we were going to sneak out of our rooms around eleven after lights out.

After what felt like forever of hanging out in the dark just watching tik toks and reels, it was finally around eleven. And apparently we weren't the only ones sneaking out. We accidentally bumped into Tiki and Dana.

"Looks like all the new varsity girls are sneaking to that lit party." Dana whispered.

"Yep. So what'll be our excuse if we get caught?" Rebekah asked.

"Well we can just say that people were already in the bathrooms in this little area, and we had to go to the ones upstairs and we didn't want to go alone so we went in a group." Tiki suggested.

"Sounds good. Now let's hurry." Caroline said.

We made it to the party, we all got pretty drunk too. The last thing I remembered what that I passed out on Rebekah on our bed.

"Hey there cutie. So glad you're home." Stefan hugged me. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Damon again. He walked down the hall of my house, and I left Stefan to look for him.

While I was looking, Behind each door was a memory of me and Stefan, but Stefan was replaced with Damon.

There was that one time at the grill when we were playing pool and he was teaching me to play it. We were so close. The next door had me and him on the porch after our first date. Hand in hand. I looked so happy. Then the last door. It wasn't a memory. It was a different dream. The dream when I had first seen Damon's face.

"Come on girl. You need to wake up. Coach can't see us with a hangover." Both Caroline and Rebekah were shaking me awake.

"Bro, you're the most hungover." Rebekah said while we were drinking water and taking aspirin. "Whoever said you were a lightweight drinker, they were so wrong. I'm pretty sure you beat a senior in a shot game or something. And after that you lost super bad at beer pong." We laughed.

I looked at the clock. It was only seven thirty. We didn't have to be on the bus for another three hours. Hopefully I won't have a hangover by then. But if I did I already had a plan. I would just say that I had a bad migraine. Well technically it wasn't my plan it was Rebekah's. She had been the least drunk and had gotten everyone back to the dorms in time.

Since we were up, we decided to clean a bit and get going first. We took showers and that helped a lot with the drunkenness, then we took all of our sheets and things and took them to the laundry room like they had told us yesterday. By the time we were perfectly done, it was about nine. More people were awake and going crazy trying to get everything done. The only thing we had to do was wait for the coach. She told us that we had to wear something special. After fifteen minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey girls, you in there?" It was coach.

"Yep, come on in." Caroline called back.

The coach came in and set down a big box for us. "So, last night I got the varsity team to get down here so then you could go on the varsity bus. And these," She opened the box. "Are your uniforms and poms." She smiled at us.

"Omg, they're so cute." Caroline squealed.

"For real." Rebekah laughed.

"Thanks coach. When do you want us out there?" I asked.

"Preferably around ten. Then you can meet the captains and some of the girls you'll be working with. Then you can board the bus early. I heard that your parents want you home soon because they have a surprise for you Elena."

"Um, ok then. See you in forty five minutes." I said. When she left I was confused. "That's weird that mom and dad have a surprise. But whatever." I shrugged it off.

Later we met the captains, Vicky Donavan, and a few other girls, then we were on the bus for like three hours, so I was happy that I had my mini backpack with my portable charger, earbuds, phone, and book. We learned some songs that the cheer team would sing while driving to competitions, and some of the cheers, then we were finally home.

Caroline drove us home, that's where I got one of the biggest surprises of my life. When we opened the door there he was, with my boyfriend.

"Welcome home babe. Oh, I would like you to meet your new um, servant I guess, my brother, Damon."
