OK everybody :) I hope you like the last chapter! This one is a lot of confusion, compelling, and fluff. But it's necessary fluff, I promise! I had a bit of trouble writing it, but I think it is worth it for the story to continue to be any good :) also, there are some text messages that I had to write in, and I didn't really like the idea of that…but yet again, completely necessary. I bolded and italicized them to make them easier to recognize and put them in brackets to tell when one ends and the next one starts, but I know I personally do not like to read text messages, so I am truly sorry. On the other hand, I want to thank you all soooo much for reviewing! I have thought about stopping a couple of times, but then I get on and people say its wonderful-it's amazing reviewers like you all that make me want to keep writing for! I cannot express how much I appreciate it :) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and here it is…CHAPTER SIX!


"Hello, my name is Peter. Could you direct me to the front office?"

Elena looked up, and a wave of confusion hit her. She had heard this voice before, and she had seen this man—but where, she didn't know. As her face contorted and her brows scrunched together showing the amount of effort she was exerting to remember, Stefan pointed the front office out to "Peter"

Just as he was about to walk away, Elena grabbed his arm and turned him around—well tried since it was his choice as to whether he wanted to comply or not since he could have thrown her across the courtyard if he wanted to. She gazed deep into his eyes, as if trying to remember something.

"Do I know you?" she asked, knowing for sure that she didn't, but somehow thinking she did.

"No, I don't think so…" Peter replied, lying while keeping his face completely smooth. 'Damn this is fun!' he thought, 'who would've known I could have this much fun confusing a little human.'

Stefan glanced over at the guy that stood before him and Elena. He looked to be at least 18, if not older. So why was he at high school? Stefan knew that something was off about him, but he didn't know what. Then he looked over at Elena, and was instantly concerned. She looked like she was completely baffled by this guy. Normally she would hide any uncertainty and talk about it later with Stefan, Bonnie, or Caroline—but not this time.

"Are you sure? I could've sworn—" Elena began, but Stefan cut her off, worried about her.

"Elena, we have to go to class", Stefan said, practically begging her to let it go and come with him, "It was nice meeting you, Peter."

Peter smiled, and waved goodbye to the couple as he began walking off towards the office. Elena looked off after him, still trying to think of where she had seen this mysterious man before. But she soon realized that Stefan was calling out to her.

"Elena? Elena. Earth to Elena! Hello?" Stefan repeated without any response from her.

"What? Oh, sorry", she said, instantly coming back to life.

"What was that, Elena? Did you know that guy?"

"I…I don't know", Elena stuttered, turning around to look in the direction that the man had walked. Then she looked up at Stefan, and saw that he was just as confused as she was. "Stefan, I'm sorry. I really don't know what came over me back there. He just…I felt like I knew him, but I don't know why. I've never even met the guy."

Stefan looked at her and immediately his confusion turned into concern, because, by the look on her face, he knew she wasn't lying. She did know him, but didn't remember it—almost as if she had been compelled. "Well, let's just try not to freak out the new kid anymore, okay Elena?" He said, trying to laugh it off in hopes that she would calm down.

As they walked Stefan began to contemplate the possibility of Elena being compelled. But no—she had her necklace, which she never took off. He looked over and froze. Her necklace. It was gone. No wonder she had acted like she was compelled—she probably was.

They walked off in the direction of History, and Stefan continued to wonder about Elena and Peter. Even though he was deep in thought, he didn't miss the looks that Elena kept throwing over her shoulder as they walked to class.

As soon as they got to class and sat down, Stefan got out his phone and frantically typed a message to Damon.

Emergency meeting Alaric's class after school—something's wrong w/ Elena


Peter walked away from the very confused couple, smirking to himself at how well that had gone over. Her little boy-toy was so worried about her, and she was horribly confused. It was just too funny!

Practically laughing at the thought of what had just went down, he walked into the office and looked down at the woman behind the desk. "Hello, my name is Peter, and I'd like to enroll at school", he said, passing his forms to the lady.

She flipped through the papers, then looked up and said, "I'm sorry, sir. But enrollment was during the summer, and you don't have the proper paperwork."

"Well, if you look closely, you'll realize that it is all there. I'm sure you just missed it—and as for enrollment dates, I called and told the principal my situation and he said I would be able to enroll", he stated as he gazed into her eyes and watched her pupils dilate.

"Oh…" the woman said. "Well looky here. I guess I just missed them. Okay, let me just type your information into the computer and get you a schedule. Then you'll be all good to go", she said, smiling from behind her glasses.

"I f you don't mind, I would love to have the same schedule as a certain student. Elena Gilbert?" he said, compelling her again.

"Okay, Mr. Smith. I'm sure we can fit you into her classes", the woman said. She clicked print on the computer, and a new schedule printed out. She handed it to Peter, and told him that it was third period—so he should report directly to History in room 312.

Peter thanked the lady and walked out, grinning to himself and thinking, 'Boy, is Ms. Gilbert in for a surprise.'


I told you it was fluff, but I needed to put it in there, just to clear up some things before they come up :) but I hope you liked it! Again, I apologize. I wouldn't have put the text messages in if they weren't critical to the story...plus, in this day and age how else would they communicate! :D anyways, remember people! Feedback is love, so read and review!

-kiki :)
