Getting a Boyfriend

Bonnie POV

Last Time on Love in the Time of Vampires:

"Well, that proves it." He said as he turned around and walked to the table. He picked up Elena's phone and handed it to me. I ripped it from his hand with a steady glare.

"That proves what?" I spat at him.

"That you like me. You would never have allowed me to get that close to you if you didn't at least like me bit." He explained, lounging back on one of the couches. The statement made me see red.

"I like you? I do NOT like you. The only reason you were able to get that close to me was because you were compelling me!" I was shaking with anger by then, but I did my best not to go over to him and smack him with my shoe. I turned abruptly around and left the house, slamming the door behind him. I couldn't believe what just happened! I mean, I summon his ass all the way to Mystic Falls just so he could try to drink my blood? I was right the first time; summoning Damon Salvatore to Mystic Falls was a bad idea.

Getting in to my car, I drove off in the direction of home. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone right now. I just needed to be alone.

Love in the Time of Vampires

"Bonnie? Hey, Bonnie!" I heard Luka's voice all to me from behind. I stopped walking and turned around. A smile found its way to my lips as he walked toward me.

"Hey, Luka. I didn't know you already enrolled." He fell into step next to me as I made my way inside the school building to my locker.

"Yeah, well my dad was very insistent that I start school right away. You know have fathers can be." He explained with a goofy grin. I smiled at his response as I pulled some of my straight brown hair away from my face.

"Yeah, I totally understand; believe me." I shook my head at some of the memories of me and my father.

"So, are we still on for after school, or is boyfriend drama with your friend still unfolding?" he asked as we entered the school building.

"Nope, no more drama; I have sworn off it!" I cried passionately. He laughed at my sudden passion, but just nodded.

"All right, meet you at the Grill then?" he asked me as we walked into the crowded hall way. My locker was on the left side and by the way he was leaning, his locker was on the right.

"Wow, you're calling it the Grill now. You'll be a local in no time!" I cried out as we separated; him going to the right and me going to the left. I heard him chuckle right before the student body of Mystic Falls High School engulfed him.

"Hey, Bonnie." I heard a familiar girlish voice come from my right. I looked and saw Caroline standing there with her Biology book in her hand and a nervous smile on her face. I gave her an assuring smile, telling her that I was not mad at her for anything.

"So, what are you up to?" she asked, leaning on the locker next to mine and totally ignoring the dude standing right next to her trying to open his locker on which she was leaning on.

"Nothing, you? " I asked her as I pulled her shoulders and moved her to my left so the dude could open his locker. He smiled a thank you at me and I returned it. Unsurprisingly, Caroline didn't even notice I moved her; she was too busy checking out her nails.

"I've got a date with Damon today. You know, Stefan's hot brother?" she looked excited. I didn't have the heart to tell her that he was an evil, blood sucking villain.

"Wow, hope you have fun, but promise you'll be careful, okay?" I told her as we made our way to Miss Mackenzie's Biology class, room 209.

"Yeah, whatever." She replied as she made her way through the thong of boys standing by the door. I knew that was the best answer I was going to get out of her so I just decided to drop it. Walking past some boys, I spotted Stefan. I knew we had Bio together but I didn't think he was going to come into school today. Guess I was wrong.

"Hey, Stefan!" I called out as I grabbed a seat next to him. He looked up from the book he was reading and smiled.

"Hi, Bonnie, and how are you today?" he asked me.

"Always the polite one; I'm great. You?" I asked as I glanced at the book her was reading. The title was not in English so I stopped paying attention to it. He chuckled at me and nodded.

"Yeah, I think polite is needed when Damon is around. There is only so much a person can take with him." He closed his eyes, clearly remembering something.

"Listen," he looked up at me with sad eyes. "Zack told me about what happened last night. I'm really sorry. Damon is an ass." Stefan told me. This statement made me burst out laughing.

"Wow, I think that was the first time I think I've ever heard you call someone an ass." I nodded as a big smile came to my face. This made me feel totally better, like I had someone on my side against Damon.

"And it's okay Stefan; it's not your fault. Believe me." I assured him. Then the teacher called for silence and started the lesson.

Lunch time…

"Hey, Bonnie." Luka was standing behind me in the cafeteria. I was just about done with filling my tray. I had a chicken sandwich, some yogurt and a diet soda. I was paying for my food when Luka greeted me.

"Oh, hey Luka. So, how did your fist day go?" I asked him with a smile. He finished up and we walked together to the table where all my friends sat at. To my utter non-surprise; nobody was there. Caroline, I juts remembered, didn't eat at school, and Elena and Stefan were no doubt off talking somewhere about something. I sat down at the empty table regardless.

"So far so good, but the day isn't over yet." He declared as he took the seat next to me.

"You shouldn't worry; as long as your Calculus class went by; you're good." We both laughed at what I said.

"So, do you usually sit alone at lunch?" he asked me as he ate some fries.

"No," I shook my head. "Usually Caroline eats with me, but she decided to go on a diet that included her not eating anything at school. Then, Elena and Stefan are out somewhere doing something and clearly have no time for me today, but it's not like they usually have time for me. They're too wrapped up in their own world to notice me most of the time." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well, then not to worry. I never diet and I don't have a girlfriend. Therefore, I'll always be here for you at lunch." He said, his grin making my knees wobble. Now where have I felt that before? Oh right; Damon. NO! No thinking about evil, bloodsucking villain who likes to compel people and make out with them. Focus Bonnie, you can do this. Just forget him; he's a bad idea!

"Thanks." I murmured from behind my sandwich.

After lunch ended, Luka walked me to my next class. I kept feeling like there was someone watching me but I couldn't find anyone. I mean, the school was filled with kids. They could have just been watching as walk as they made their way to class. Nobody was stalking me personally, right? Wrong, very wrong, but I had no idea then.

Later that day, at the Mystic Grill…

"Wow, really you have family from Salem?" I asked, amazed. I've realized we've got so much in common already and we've only known each other for a couple of days.

"Yeah. According to my dad, we even have some shared history. Apparently, one of the Bennett's living in Salem married a Martin." He informed me with a smile.

"You're kidding me! I never would have guessed. Cool." I declared as I took a sip of my apple soda. Screw the diet; I love soda too much to settle for the diet stuff.

"Hey, I want to show you something." He reached into his bag and pulled out a very old and tattered book. It looked a lot like my Grimwoire, but I would have never guessed it to be anything like my book at home.

"This," he told me as he looked me in the eyes. "Is a Grimwoire written by a Bennett and a Martin." I gasped.

"No way. Are you a… you know?" I asked carefully. He nodded. Picking up the salt shaker, he opened it and poured out some salt. Then he raised his hand over it and the salt crystals levitated.

"Oh my God." I said with a huge smile as I watched him levitate the crystals. He smiled back as he moved the crystals back into the shaker and twisted the lid again.

An hour later, walking down the street…

"So, how long have you known about… this whole thing?" he asked me, indicating the whole witch thing.

"Um… well, my grams first told me when I was about 15, but I didn't really pay much attention to her. I always just thought she was drunk, but to my defense; she usually was. " I replied to his question as he chuckled.

"My dad's been teaching me since I got my powers about 3 years ago." He told me.

"Wow, that's a while. When I finally got my powers, it was like a couple of months ago. I use to go to my grams for help, but after she passed away, I've kind of been on my own." I explained to him with a sad nod.

"I'm sorry about that by the way." He proffered his condolences.

"Thanks." I gave him a loopy smile and he gave me a hug. I felt the weird sense of being watched again, but there wasn't anyone near us so I shrugged it off.

"Hey, Bonnie. Do you want to go out with me tomorrow?" he asked sheepishly.

"Like on a date?" I asked excited but at the same time kind of shy.

"Yeah, if you want. If you don't think it should be a date, we could just hang out…. you know as friends." He said shyly. I smiled and reached up to kiss his cheek.

"I'd like that." I whispered still very close to him. He leaned down and kissed me. As I kissed him back, I could have sworn I heard a growl somewhere in the distance, but I was too happy to care.
