"Well Stefan Salvatore Im Elena Gilbert and I'm guessing your new here?" Elena said knowing she would have noticed someone as good looking as Stefan before.

"Yeah just moved back actually Im living with my older brother" Stefan said cringing at the word brother regretting mentioning him.

"You have a brother?" Elena questioned.

"Yes. Damon" Stefan said clenching his teeth. Elena wanted to know more about this mysterious bother but could tell it was a sensitive subject, this made Elena even more curious.

"So I just realised I don't know where were walking to" Stefan said desperately trying to change the subject.

"English this is my class" Elena said stopping outside one of the doors.

"Would this be english with Mr White?" Stefan said smirking, he knew full well that he was in the same class as Elena.

"Why yes it is Mr Salvatore" Elena said flirtatiously slapping Stefan on the arm.

"Well then Miss Gilbert, shall we" Stefan said now holding open the door to the classroom.

Stefan walked in following Elena into the classroom, he handed some documentation to the teacher and went to go sit down in an empty seat two rows back for where Elena sat. He walked passed her and placed the books he was carrying on her desk. " Here you go miss Gilbert" Stefan said with a wink. Elena smiled back.

The teacher glanced over Stefan's documents and nodded looking back up at the class. "Right Class we have a new student Stefan Salvatore, Now Miss Gilbert why are you late, you know your excuses ended with the summer break" Mr White said scolding Elena. Elena opened her mouth to speak but Stefan interrupted.

"Sorry that was my fault Mr White, I accidentally bumped into Elena, and I was lost looking for directions, it won't happen again" Stefan said flashing the teacher one of his famous smiles that didn't seem to have the same effect as it did on Elena. Elena laughed to herself at this.

"No it won't Mr Salvatore,right then on with the lesson" Mr White said turning around to face the white board.

Bonnie was still shocked that in the time it took to walk to english Elena had managed to pull such a hottie. "When english is over you have to tell me everything" Bonnie said whispering.

"He's hot right" Elena said smiling.

"Extremely" Bonnie said looking over at Stefan.

"He's staring at you" Bonnie said texting to make it less obvious.

Elena glanced down at her phone, she read the message looking over at Stefan who now quickly looked away and presented not to care.

"Miss Gilbert, Mr Salvatore do I have to send one of you out?" Mr White said not moving his eyes from the board.

"No Mr White" Elena and Stefan said in unison. Matt had sat there and watched this whole ordeal unfold, he rolled his eyes at how pathetic it was. Caroline and Bonnie saw Matts reaction and shot him a empathetic glance.

English soon passed followed by History, Math and Biology which consisted of more flirty glances and several messages from Bonnie stating how hot Stefan was and the fact that he couldn't take his eyes off Elena. The Bell soon rang and everyone rushed into the halls eager to get home.

Elena,Bonnie and Caroline all grouped at Elena's locker as usual.

"So tell me everything?" Bonnie said excitedly walking towards the exit. Elena gladly spilled her guts telling both Bonnie and Caroline everything about Stefan.

"Wow, he sounds amazing" Caroline said feeling extremely Jealous.

"Yeah" Bonnie said agreeing but then thinking of Matt. "Elena I think you need to talk to Matt, he needs to know its truly over" Bonnie said feeling bad for Matt.

"I Know, I didn't mean to hurt him" Elena said looking back through the sea of students trying to locate Matt with her eyes.

Caroline still felt jealous at the fact that all the boys always liked Elena and wanted Elena's attention so she decided to be rude. "Were not stupid Elena you've been stringing Matt along for months" Caroline said letting jealously take over and ripping into her friend.

"Caroline" Bonnie scolded.

"No Bonnie she's right its not fair" Elena said now spotting Matt in the crowd. She approached him cautiously not wanting him to run off like he had previous times she tried to talk to him.

Matt saw Elena coming his way and though about trying to make a run for it again but realised he needed to face his problems and face facts that it was truly over between Elena and him.

"Hey" Matt said staring the conversation.

"Hi how are you?" Elena asked politely.

"I think I should be asking you that" Matt said now pulling her into a welcoming hug.

Elena happily accepted, In fact she kind of needed it.

"Im fine really Matt, now we really need to talk" Elena said now pulling away from the hug.

"Elena" Matt said longingly looking to Elena's brown eyes. He missed this, but he knew he had to let her go let her move on. "I know what your going to say, and I'm going to save you the trouble, its okay, but promise me this you'll always be my best friend?" Matt said offering a small smile.

Elena's eyes filled with tears, she let one fall this time bring Matt into a hug. She let the words "Thank you" escape her mouth.

"Your welcome" Matt said letting go. "Do you need a ride home?" Matt asked.

"Yes..actually could you drop me off somewhere else?" Elena asked smiling.

"Anywhere" Matt said knowing where Elena was going to say. "Visiting your parents?" Matt asked.

"Yeah" Elena said hiding behind her well practiced smile, but Matt could see right through it.

Elena and Matt walked out of the school towards his truck where they passed Bonnie and Caroline.

"Bonnie I'm getting a lift with Matt" Elena said notifying her friend.

Bonnie mouthed the words "Everything O.K?" and Elena mouthed back "All good call you later" Elena climbed into Matts truck and they headed for the Cemetery. As they were leaving the school car park Elena saw Stefan again coming out of the school she couldn't help but stare and Matt noticed.

"So Stefan" Matt said sarcastically.

"Don't say it like that, I barley know him, I was just giving him directions" Elena said lying, and she felt like she did know him, she couldn't explain how she felt.

"Directions you say? why was he carrying your books then?" Matt said almost interrogating Elena.

"He was being a gentleman" Elena said implying that Matt wasn't.

"Ohhh a gentleman is that what you want Miss Gilbert?" Matt said in an posh accent, Elena laughing along with him.

"Ive missed this" Elena said still slightly chuckling to herself.

"Me too" Matt said smiling. He pulled up on the side of the road. "Were here" Matt said the smile draining from his face once he saw how Elena's mood had changed.

"You want me to stay?" Matt asked seeing Elena get a little upset.

"No its okay, I'll see you tomorrow?" Elena asked now getting out the car.

"Yeah" Matt said letting Elena have some space. Matt waved goodbye and drove off leaving Elena alone. Elena walked around a few graves looking at the flowers and small belongings that people had left for there loved ones she debated weather to go home and come back another time but she had gotten into a routine of visiting her parents everyday.

Elena eventually stopped walking and sat down facing the gravestone. She hated that fact that she felt like she needed to tell her parents everything despite it being good or bad news. Elena knelt infant of the grave and pulled out the pills again, she held them in her hands squeezing the bottle gently.

"Mum..Dad..I miss you so much I can't do this without you, Jeremy he's falling off the rails, I'm not far behind either, Jenna doesn't think she can do this and she's doing the best she can, Ive broken Matt's heart I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I should have never have gone to that party I should have stayed home" Elena said now letting the tears stream down her face.

Elena was done confessing and looked back down at the pill bottle wiping away the tears. She pored 4 pills out onto her hand this time staring at them knowing she was doing wrong but couldn't help herself. Elena popped all four into her mouth taking them with some water.

Elena got up from the ground and started walking home when she saw a familiar face across the street. Stefan. How he didn't have a car, at least she didn't see one. How did he get here so quickly?

Elena smiled politely. Fighting the urge to cross the street to meet him. Elena carried on walking a few feet before deducing against herself and crossed the road.

"Fancy seeing you here?" Stefan said walking towards Elena.

"What you mean the town where I live, my street being just down there" Elena said with a laugh.

Stefan smiled at this but secretly he already knew that she lived down that street,he even knew which house, which bedroom. Just like he knew she would be at the cemetery visiting her parents.

"Well seeing you live just down the road, shall I walk you home Miss Gilbert?" Stefan said flirting again whilst offering his arm out.

Elena liked this it took her mind off things in fact when she was with Stefan she didn't think about the pills at all, she didn't need them.

"Well if you insist Mr Salvatore" Elena said playing along and linking arms with Stefan. Stefan walked Elena to her front door.

"Well thank you for walking me home" Elena said getting out her door key.

"Anytime" Stefan said moving toward her.

Elena opened her door and walked in and Stefan inched closer, but not enough to step past the door frame.

Elena looked at Stefan leaning against the door frame, she thought it was odd that he didn't come in. "Aren't you coming inside?" Elena asked.

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows in frustration. "Um no I can't stay I have to get home" Stefan said blatantly lying, and Elena could tell.

"Well i guess i will see you tomorrow then?" Elena said coming towards the front door again.

"Goodnight Elena" Stefan said in a claiming tone.

"Goodnight" Elena said closing the door. Elena started to walk away before hearing a knock on the door she smiled to herself knowing it was Stefan. Elena opened the door and indeed it was Stefan.

"Elena, I'm sorry to bother you again I was just wondering do you want to go out after school tomorrow?" Stefan asked flashing another smile.

"I would love too, see you at school" Elena said smiling. She watched Stefan walk down the driveway and waved him goodbye before closing the door.
