Then I remembered something.

'You haven't told me your name.' I said, grinning. She laughed. 'I'm Alex.' She said. Alexa? Or Alexandra? 'I haven't seen you here before.' I stated. She smiled. 'I just moved here and it's summer.' She said. I raised my eyebrows. 'How old are you?' I asked.

'16.' She answered. So young. 'I'm 18.' I replied with a smile. She nodded. 'So you've already graduated?' She asked. I shook my head. 'I just turned 18.' I answered. I look forward to going to school with her.

'You are Alexa or Alexandra?' I asked. 'Alexandra.' She answered. 'So why do you go by Alex?' I asked her. She smiled. 'Actually I don't.' She paused. 'Well, it depends on who. To my best friends, I'm sometimes Lexi, sometimes Alex. And then to teachers and relatives I'm Alexandra. Although I go by Alex to anyone I've only met.' She replied. I nodded. Okay, that is so complicating.

We ate. Actually, she ate.

And in almost a decade, she was the only one who didn't ask me why I didn't eat. I realized she was one of a kind. I offered her a ride back home. She shook her head. 'Oh I couldn't possibly accept that.' She said smiling. 'Oh you could.' I returned with a same smile. She shook her head. 'No seriously.' She said. I'll get her next time, maybe.

'Well could I at least have your number?' I said. If that wasn't available, I'm just gonna bring her home. 'Sure.' She answered as she uttered her number to me. I gave mine to her and she started to go. 'Bye.' She said, waving. 'Bye.' I replied.

I turned around and dialed her number.

Her ringtone was Back To December. 'Alex.' She said, flipping open her phone. I laughed silently. She answered with Alex instead of hello. 'Hey.' I said, laughing. 'Damon!' I heard her giggle. 'What? I had to make sure you didn't give me the wrong number.' I said. She sighed. 'Okay, now you confirmed. Bye.' She said as she cut my line. I stared at the blank screen on my phone. I shrugged. Oh well.

I wandered the streets again, and I caught a girl who was about to fall. 'Wow, easy there.' I said lightly. 'So sorry.' She said and looked up. I could practically see her heart melting. 'Um... hi.' She finally finished.

'Hey.' I said softly. 'What's your name?' I asked. She paused for a moment. 'Alora.' She answered. I looked at her. She had pale blonde hair and green eyes. Just another ordinary girl, unlike Alex. Okay, stop thinking about Alex.

'Would you like a ride?' I asked. She nodded slightly. I smiled and bought her to my car. She sat there silently. 'What's your name?' She asked. 'Damon.' I answered. She smiled. 'Nice name.' I rolled my eyes without letting her know.

I drove her to a spacious place, where noone was.

'Where are we?' She asked, slightly alarmed. I smirked. I loved this reaction. 'Somewhere.' I said mysteriously. She laughed nervously. 'O-okay. This is creeping me out.' She said. I leaned in like I was gonna kiss her, then bit her neck. She screamed. I silenced her with my powers, and then I just put her to sleep. I didn't kill her. I just made her forget and sent her home after I was finished with her.

I didn't call Alex these two months. Nor did she call me. I was just waiting, would she miss me?

I enrolled for school. I usually didn't go that far for girls, but I was attracted to her. I walked through the school, enjoying the feeling of people's eyes on me. I felt a shove on my shoulder. 'Are you crazy Damon? What the hell are you doing here?' My little brother hissed. I smiled, just to annoy him. 'Nothing that concerns you, little brother.' I answered.

Certainly not concering your Elena. I thought. He rolled his eyes. 'Whatever. Just don't you let me see you feeding on the girls at school.' He said. And I thought you were a little bit smarter than that. I thought again. He walked off and I walked my own way. I listened closely for that one voice I was looking for. At last, I found it.

When I walked there, there was a group of boys surrounding her. 'So Alex, consider a gig at my house, on my bed?' A guy said, leaning towards her. Alex practically flattened herself against her locker. I laughed silently.

I cleared my throat. They turned to me. 'What?' I big, burly one demanded. I shrugged. 'Maybe you could decide to lay off. Or I'll break your nose.' I said, with a tone nobody would mess with.

He narrowed his eyes. 'I wouldn't want to waste my time.' He said as he motioned his group to walk away. She sighed in relief. 'Thanks.' She said as she turned back to her locker. What? She... doesn't remember me?

'Alex.' I said, irritated. She turned around. 'Wha-ohh.' She said as she released the hair from behind her ear. 'Damon? I thought you weren't serious!' She said. I rolled my eyes. 'I am always serious. Well, about certain things anyways.' I said.

She laughed. 'Damon you are so...' She trailed off, clearly unable to find a word. I raised my eyebrows, waiting for her word. 'Unpredictable.' She finished.

'Good choice of word.' I said, smiling.

'Well, maybe I'll catch you later. I have...' She checked her schedule. 'Chemistry.' She finished. I nodded. 'Sure.' I said as I walked off to... Math.
