(a month later)
~ Alexis's Pov ~
I woke up to the my alarm with the heat of the sun down on my neck. I pushed my blankets off from the uncomfortable heat. Beep Beep. God, can't that thing shut up. I picked up a shoe by my bed and threw it towards the alarm. It went down but it still wouldn't shut up. I groaned and got out of bed and picked it up. I looked at the time. Oh shit. It's 10:00 a.m.
I started running around my room in a fury. Crap, I forgot to do laundry. Well, I guess I'm gonna have to go to school in my pajamas. After I hurriedly brushed my teeth I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.
When I got to school I quickly grabbed a tardy slip and headed to my locker. I headed to third period language and apologized for being late.
I walked to my seat by Stefan. He then leaned over near me.
"Nice Pjs, Alexis," He said.
By the way did I mention that my bottoms had cats on them. I know what your thinking. But they are really comfortable.
I turned to him and told him to shut up and stuck my tongue out like a five year old. He just laughed at me.
Stefan and I kept bickering like that until lunch. I think we mostly did it out of amusement since Elena was getting really annoyed at it.
Its funny how we kind of fell into a routine. Me and Elena had become really close the past month and half. Of course, Stefan was always by Elena's side, so I had become friends with him too. It was like he was the older brother I never had. Elena gets annoyed every once in awhile since we bicker so much like brother and sister. Although I do feel like the third wheel sometimes around them. They can be so lovely dovey but I had to admit they were a really cute couple. I wouldn't trade those too for anybody.
"So you ready for the carnival tonight." Elena asked me.
"Oh I don't know if I'm going." I said.
"Why not?"
"Well I got to finish that history report."
"Oh come one Alexis. You have perfect grades. You need a little fun."
"I don't know."
"Please." She begged and did puppy eyes. Man I can never resist puppy eyes.
"Yeah please Alexis." Stefan said and gave puppy eyes too. I had to laugh. Puppy eyes didn't look right on Stefan. Well at least not to me.
"Fine I'll be there. But I won't be happy about." I smiled anyway.
(Carnival)
I got to the Carnival and went to meet Stefan and Elena.
"Okay I'm here." I said as I approached them.
"Why don't we go ride the Ferris Wheel." Elena suggested.
I shrugged and followed them. This was at least a ride my stomach could handle.
We got there and handed our tickets in. It was one of those that the seats only fit two people. Of course Elena and Stefan sat together. So I took a seat by myself. Then someone scoot over by me. I turned to see who it was. Great the last person I wanted to see. Damon. I had been trying to avoid him ever since what happened at the Mystic Grill.
The ride started and I tried best to ignore him.
"Hi" he said.
"Hi"
"How are you liking the Carnival?"
Well he seemed to be trying to be a gentlemen. I didn't want to be rude. It wasn't like me.
"Fine I guess. I just arrived here."
It suddenly got quiet. I looked up at him and met his blue eyes. Why did his gaze make me want to melt? I've never felt this way before. He was the one to finally speak.
"What do you think about hanging out with me this evening?" he said.
Wow I didn't expect that. I had to think about this for a minute. But there was no resisting. I couldn't lie to myself anymore. I was drawn to him, and I was tired of pretending there wasn't.
"Uh o-o-okay." Jeez, I was kinda pathetic right now. And when did I start to stutter.
The ride finally ended and we got off. I went over to Elena and Stefan to tell them I would be joining Damon.
Elena looked like she was going to protest, and Stefan just stared Damon down.
"Guys I'll be okay. I'll see you later okay." I said. I looked over at Stefan hoping for some understanding. I knew he didn't trust Damon, but I don't think he would do anything to me.
Stefan didn't remove his hard expression but he nodded. He and Elena went off to enjoy the rest of the carnival.
Me and Damon headed of to one of the other rides. It was the bumper cars. I use to love this ride when I was a kid.
"You wanna do this one?" he asked me.
"Yeah." I said.
We got into the little car things. Then it was on. It was like I was 8 years old again.
We then got of fthe ride. I came off laughing so much and Damon was smiling.
"I can't remember the last time I had so much fun." I said smiling after I caught my breath.
"Yeah it was fun." he said smiling at me.
"Lets go to that booth." I said with enthusiasm. I ran over to it.
I ended up losing but Damon won. He got a huge teddy bear. He then turned to me.
"This is for you," he said as he handed to teddy bear to me.
I smiled. "Thank you" I said hugging it to myself.
We went to a couple more booths. I was the one who played them. Of course with my lack of hand eye coordination I didn't win any. But I didn't really mind. Nothing could ruin this night. I turned to Damon.
"I've actually had a really great time." I said.
"Me too." he said.
I looked at him thoughtfully.
"You know your different than I thought you were." I said.
" How so?"
"I thought you were just a plain asshole all around."
"Ouch"
I laughed. "But you proved my wrong. I'm glad you did."
"I'm glad I did too."
He then faced me. I love those electric blue eyes. But its just like me to break away.
"Well I better get home. I really did had a great time."
"Well goodnight." he said.
"Night."
I headed to my car and was about to unlock it when I heard a noise behind me. By the way I had parked far enough away from everywhere else where there was a lot of people. I hated being in traffic. So when I got to my car there was nobody around.
I turned around and came face to face with a stranger.
"I have a message for you." he said.
I was to shocked to say anything. So I just stared at him.
"Stay away from Damon Salvatore."
Then everything went black.
