Cassie's POV

It was Friday. I woke up and headed to the bathroom to shower. Unfortunately, the bathroom wasn't empty. Vicki was in there brushing her teeth wearing nothing more than a tank top and panties. I was a bit confused. I didn't even she and Jeremy were together.

"I'm almost done." She declared with a mouthful of toothpaste.

I just walked away and headed downstairs. My hair was messy and I needed that shower, but it didn't look like I would get it. I let out an agitated grunt as I took a seat at the table where Elena, Jenna, and Diana already were.

"What's got you so wound up this morning?" Jenna asked.

"Did you know that Jeremy brought a girl home last night?" I replied. She nodded. "And you're okay with it?"

"He could be a little bit craftier trying to sneak her in and out." Jenna quipped. I just sighed. "So I'm not going to be home for dinner tonight."

"You're doing it? You're going out with Logan, aren't you?" Elena teased her.

"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes." Jenna replied. She then looked at Diana. "So have you heard from Stefan at all?"

"Nope." Diana replied. He had pretty much been ignoring her ever since the Founder's Party. The plus side was we hadn't really seen Damon either, which was good.

"Are you okay with it?" Elena asked her.

"Not really, but I've been through worse." Diana explained. I would say getting dumped was pretty low on the list. She would get better. "I'm not gonna cry about it though. My world won't stop turning because of a stupid guy."

After breakfast, we headed to school. I noticed Caroline seemed to be back to her former self talking to some girl in the hallway about a carwash.

"It's like nothing happened." Diana commented.

"Well it's good that she's moving on." I remarked.

"Hi." Stefan replied.

"Can I talk to Diana for a moment?" Stefan asked her.

"Anything that you want to say to her you can say in front of me." I replied as I crossed my arms under my chest.

"Okay, I'm sorry that I haven't been around. I was dealing with Damon." He explained.

"Well you seem to have dealt with him." I commented. "Did it take four days?"

"I know I have a lot of explaining to do, but could you give me a chance?" He requested.

"Sure, when?" Diana replied. I couldn't believe that she was so willing to forgive him.

"I have to be home after school, but maybe we could meet at the Grill at 4:00?" He suggested.

"Okay." Diana declared. I couldn't help but wonder if maybe she was falling in love with him. I would have to keep an eye on them.

"Stefan, have you seen Damon? He has some serious apologizing to do." Caroline replied after appearing suddenly.

"He's gone." Stefan replied.

"When's he coming back?" She asked in concern. Why would she care?

"He's not." Stefan stated. "I'm sorry."

He then walked away, leaving her confused.

"This is good, Caroline." I stated.

"I know that." She lied. "So you two need to make sure that you bikinis for the carwash tomorrow."

"Why am I doing this?" Diana asked. "I'm not on the squad."

"It's for charity and it fulfills the mandatory community service credit." Caroline explained.

Diana's POV

I went to the Grill with Cassie after school. She did promise to let me and Stefan talk as long as she was nearby. I understood her reasoning for being cautious, but I wanted to give him a chance to explain. We found Matt over by the pool table.

"Hey, have you seen Stefan?" I asked him.

"No." Matt replied. That wasn't a good sign. "But if you want to wait, we can rack."

We ended up waiting a little while for him to show up. Cassie didn't waste much time telling him about Jeremy and Vicki.

"Okay, that's a little weird how they're hooking up." Matt stated. Well she was a senior and he was sophomore. I was pretty sure that it wasn't illegal because there had to be a four-year difference and he was 15. "So how late is he?"

"It's almost an hour." I replied. "I need someone else's opinion on this. What do you think of Stefan?"

"Why, what's he done?" Matt asked.

"He hasn't done anything other than being secretive." I stated. "It's like he's hiding something."

"What that he's a serial killer or something?" Matt joked. I was pretty sure that he wasn't the one who killed Mr. Tanner.

"No, but I don't really know anything about him." I admitted.

"Well he's great at football, smart, kind of a loner, but I'm pretty sure that he's a good guy." Matt opined.

"So am I just being crazy?" I questioned.

"I think you should talk to him." Matt suggested.

"Talk to whom?" Stefan asked from behind me. I turned to look at him. "I'm sorry I'm late. I got held up."

"For an hour?" I replied. At that point, Matt and Cassie seemed to get the hint and walked away. Matt left and she took a seat at a table. "Did you forget how to talk?"

"It was something with my uncle." He replied.

"You could have let me know that you were going to be an hour late." I yelled. "Okay, fuck it. I'm done unless you want to tell me the truth right now."

"I know you." An old black man interrupted. "My God, you haven't aged a day."

"I think you have me confused with someone else." Stefan remarked as he walked away from the man.

"What was that?" I asked. He didn't say anything. "Okay, bye."

I walked out the door and Cassie came with me. I decided to go home and take a nap while Cassie did her homework downstairs. Elena was out with Caroline and Bonnie and Jeremy was in his room sleeping with Vicki.

Cassie's POV

I heard the doorbell go off and found that Stefan was there. I almost slammed it in his face.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I want a chance to make things right with Diana." He stated. "I'm ready to talk. Can you just get her to come down here?"

"How do I know that you're not just going to hurt her again?" I challenged.

"I never meant to hurt her, but you saw how bad things got between Damon and Caroline. I had to do something about it." He explained. "Do you know if she likes chicken parmesan?"

"We've never had it." I declared. "You know I'll kill you if you hurt her again."

I went upstairs to our room and found that she was up.

"So maybe you should go and get something to eat?" I suggested.

"I'm not hungry." She replied.

"Diana, not eating isn't going to make you feel better." I pointed out.

"Fine." She replied as she got up. "We could order pizza."

"We don't have any money." I pointed out before she went downstairs.

Diana's POV

I heard noises coming from the kitchen. I was a bit confused by them.

"Jenna? Elena?" I asked as I entered the kitchen. "Stefan."

"Hi." He greeted me.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Cooking. Cassie said that you had never had chicken parmesan and I think you need to try it." He explained. "I'm quite the chef. Italian roots demand it. I can even make my own mozzarella, but tonight it's store-bought."

"What are you doing? Cooking dinner won't fix things." I pointed out.

"I realized that you were right about the secrets and I thought that if you wanted to dump me, you should at least get to know who you're dumping." He pointed out, seeming unaware that I had already dumped him.

"Stefan…" I started.

"Let's start with Katherine." He interrupted. "She was very beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls that I've ever. She had this really obnoxious laugh that made you laugh, but she also was very bratty and impatient and vindictive. I don't know which one of me and Damon dated her first, but I do regret that I wasn't able to make it right with him before she died."

"Wow." I commented.

"But enough about Katherine, let's talk about me." He replied cheekily. I couldn't help but giggle at that. "I love to watch old movies. I'm a big Scorsese fan, especially Taxi Driver. For books, I love Fitzgerald and my favorite book is The Great Gatsby, but I'm no snob, I like newer stuff. I like Grisham, Patterson and I've even read Twilight. I think Seinfeld is the greatest show of the last 50 years, but The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother are good too. For music there's a little bit of everything, Elvis, Michael, Patsy, Willie, Kanye, and even Miley."

I decided at that point that I would help him. I wasn't expecting to get so much out of him so suddenly.

"So everything that I said at the Grill is officially retracted." I stated. "So is this for the garlic bread, because if you're not having any, neither am I?"

"I love garlic." He told me with a smile before I accidentally cut my finger.

"Fuck." I cursed as I covered it.

"Are you okay?" He asked before I went over to the sink to wash it off. I then noticed something in the window. His face looked really weird.

"Are you okay?" I mimicked as I went over to him. He turned his back to me. "Stefan, look at me."

He turned to face me and he looked normal.

"I think I'm hallucinating." I told him.

Dinner was great. He really was a good cook.

Cassie's POV

The next afternoon, Diana and I were at the school, her in a pink and white striped bikini and me in one with a pink top and yellow bottom. We got to the counter and found Caroline…wearing shorts with her bikini top. In fact, a lot of the girls were wearing shorts? Wasn't the point of a bikini carwash to have girls in bikinis?

"So now friend discounts, no senior discounts and no pay-laters." Caroline explained. "It's a fundraiser, not a charity."

Well the funds were going to charity. I wasn't sure what the charity was though.

"Hey." Stefan remarked.

"It's called Sexy Suds." Caroline remarked.

"Did I just get scolded?" He asked in disbelief. On the plus side, it seemed like things were good between him and Diana.

"It looks like you're gonna have to lose your shirt." I remarked. Diana would thank me later.

Diana's POV

Stefan pulled off his shirt and I was impressed. I was very impressed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to one of the cars to let all of the girls (and any guys) know that he was mine.

"You know you have really hands." I swooned. "I mean that is a nice ring. Where did you get it?"

"It's a family ring. It's got the family crest from the Italian Renaissance." He explained.

"Maybe you should take it off so it doesn't rust." I suggested.

"No, it's fine." He argued. I assumed that he didn't want to lose it.

Cassie's POV '

I ended up getting put in charge of the cash box.

"That'll be 20 dollars." I told the old man. I then remembered something. "Hey, I saw you last night at the Grill. You were talking to my friend Stefan Salvatore."

"Yeah, it was just my mind playing tricks on me." He remarked.

"What did you think you saw?" I questioned.

"When I first move here, I lived in the Salvatore Boarding House." He explained. "Stefan was just passing through when the accident happened."

"What accident?" I questioned.

"His uncle got killed." He replied.

"His uncle, Zach?" I questioned. I think that was his name. I'd never met the guy.

"No, Joseph." He corrected.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about this. My sister and I just moved here." I explained.

"Well this happened in 1953, so I wouldn't expect you to." He remarked before one of the cheerleaders took him away.

I decided to go talk to Diana about that. I needed to know more about this incident and she was going to help me. I went over to where she was with Stefan.

"Can I borrow her?" I asked as I pulled my sister away.

"What are you doing?" She questioned. She seemed upset that I removed her from his hotness.

"I have something that I need to figure out and I need your brain to help." I explained.

"What do you need?" She asked with a sigh.

"I need to know the best way to find out a local incident from 1953." I declared.

"You could check old newspaper archives." She suggested.

"Did they have television back then?" I questioned.

"They might have something at the station, but we'd have to find someone who could show it to us." She told me.

We ended up asking Jenna's boyfriend. It was a little awkward since we hadn't really brought any clothes with us, but he was able to take us to the station and he showed us how to work the system before he was called away due to some kind of fire.

"Okay, so let's see about this." I declared. "Here's a video."

Apparently there had been an animal attack at the house. Well, it was more believable than the school.

"Is that the nephew?" The reporter asked the cameraman. It seemed unprofessional. Suddenly the camera zoomed in and there was Stefan.

"Oh my god." Diana commented. That wasn't possible. Or maybe it was. We were witches.

"What could he be?" I questioned.

"There's only one type of supernatural creature that is immortal." Diana explained. "He has got to be a vampire."

"Wait maybe we should see if he can explain." I replied. "We need to talk to him."

We headed to his house after we got home and put some clothes on. I was about to knock on the door when it opened and we saw Stefan was holding a stake and had these weird veins showing under his eyes. It looked like it was true. He really was a vampire. We looked at him in shock.

So the real question remains whether Stefan and Damon will find out about the girls. Please don't forget to review.
