Remember I only own Rori and thats about it. Hope you like it!
This morning was all a blur. I remember getting up at 6:30a.m., showering, picking out my outfit of my ripped up skinny jeans and red tank top but after that...nope. Now I'm sitting in my car, writing a song about life. I leaned my notebook against the wheel and smiled as the lyrics just flowed from my mind. Being lost in my writing, I never notice that someone was standing at my window. "...Here's to every single heartbreak. Here's to us-" All of the sudden, I heard a loud tapping noise, making me jump and place my hand on my heart. I turned quickly, seeing Stefan standing there, smiling. Glaring at him, I packed my notebook up and got out of the car. "Hey Rori. Sorry for scaring you." Stefan said looking at me. I nodded and just threw my bag over my shoulder as we started to walk to the school. "Its cool, Stefan. Shocked your not with Elena right now." I said teasing him a bit. He chuckled and shrugged. We walked on till we saw Bonnie and Elena. "Morning Ladies!" I yelled smiling as I threw my arms over both of their shoulders, pulling them close. They both chuckled and said 'Morning' to me then looked at Stefan. "Good morning, Elena. Good morning, Bonnie." Bonnie's eyes widened before she spoke, "Hey, um, I gotta find Caroline. She's not answering her phone. So I'll see you guys later." After that, Bonnie moved from under my arm and quickly left. "Bonnie. Wait..." Elena called out after her but it was too late. I tilted my head to the side, confused. "What just..." "She doesn't like me very much." Stefan said pointing it out. Elena and I looked over at him. Poor Stefan-boo. Elena gently placed her hand on his shoulder, "She doesn't know you. She's my best friend. She's just looking out for me. But when she does, she will love you". He just nodded his head as we headed outside together.
As we found a spot to talk, I couldn't help but watch Matt and Tyler playing catch with the football. I kinda miss when we all hung out together without wanting to kill each other. "Here's what we're going to do. Are you free tonight?" Elena said to the both of us. With Stefan saying yeah, she turned to me. "Rori?" "Huh?" I said still watching the guys. I heard Elena sigh then grab my face, forcing me to look at her. "Are you free tonight?" I nodded my head at her, telling her I was free as a bird tonight. "Perfect. Dinner, our house. 8:00. You, me, Rori and Bonnie. You two will spend some quality time and she'll get to see what a great guy you are. Mission accomplished." She said, sounding pretty proud of herself for planing this whole thing. Wait. "So its the four us? No Blonde Dev-" Elena shot me a look. "I mean Caroline." Her face softened and nodded her head. "Yes, Rori. It will just be us. No Caroline tonight." Thank the god. Just then, the football came flying towards Stefan. I was about to yell 'Watch out' but he quickly turned around, catching the ball. Damn boy. He then threw it back to Tyler as both him and Matt stared at Stefan in shock. Elena and I laughed at their shocked faces before we walked into school together.
"Dude, that throw was amazing!" I said smiling at Stefan as we walked down the hallway. Elena nodded her head agreeing, "I didn't know you played football." Stefan chucked and looked at us. "I used to. It was a long time ago." Long time ago? He makes it sound like he's been playing since before we were alive. "So why don't you try out for the team?" I said nudging him. He merely shrugged, "Yeah, I don't think so." Elena looked at me then back at him. Yeah we are confused as hell. "So you don't like football?" Stefan sighed, looking at the both of us. "No, I love football. I think it's a great sport. But in this case, I don't think football likes me. You saw Tyler over there, and we both know how Matt feels. " I just rolled my eyes at him as we stopped at Elena's locker so she can grab her things. I'm not buying it, I know he wants to play. Elena closed her locker and looked at him. "They don't know you. To them, you're mysterious loner guy. Wouldn't hurt to be part of. Make some friends." "Says one of the girls who spends their alone time writing in a cemetery." Stefan said smirking at her. "Now is that truly a bad thing?" I said looking at Elena as she rolled her eyes before looking back at him. "Hey, come on. There's more to me than just gloomy graveyard girl, right Rori?" I nodded my head as she continued, "There's a whole other Elena, same with Aurora, that you have yet to meet. We were into everything, very busy. " Elena high fived me as Stefan smirked watching us. He then gently took a hold of my sisters hand. "Well, I look forward to meeting them both. And when will that be? " I patted his shoulder as we walked off to class together. "Soon, very soon."
Ugh. Tanner's history class. I would slam my head against the desk but he would in joy my pain to much. He was lecturing away about World War 2 as I tried to fall asleep. Closing my eyes, I started to hear little whispers from in front of me. "Psst. FYI... Our team sucks. They could use you" Elena whispered to Stefan. He whispered back, 'Can't, I'm a loner.' I just rolled my eyes at his statement. "So am I but you still see me doing things." I whispered to him making he looked at me. He gave me a questionable look before Tanner saw us. "Miss Gilbert?" Me and Elena looked up a him. "Hmm?" Elena hummed as I layed my head back down, "Nope." I could feel the glare coming from Tanner's eyes before he looked at Elena. "Elena, Pearl Harbor?" Elena looked at Tanner, "Umm.." "December 7, 1941." My head shot up and looked at Stefan after he said that. Very Smart. Damn. Tanner looked at him and sighed, sounding little mad. "Thank you, Miss Gilbert." "Anytime." Tanner leaned against his desk, "Very well. The fall of the Berlin wall." Just then Stefan called out "1989." I smirked at my sister as I leaned back against my seat. This is getting good. "I'm good with dates, sir. " Tanner eyed Stefan up, about to challenge his mind. "Are you? How good? Keep it to the year. Civil Rights Act." And for the rest of the class, Tanner and Stefan shot at each other. It was Teacher vs Student and, no shock here, the student was winning. But after Stefan answered one of the questions, Tanner yelled out, "Ha! It ended in '52." Dun Dun DUNN! I looked over at Stefan, who had a nice poker face on. "Uh, actually, sir, it was '53." Now Tanner started to get real mad so he yelled to the class to check. I quickly pulled my book out and flipped to the page. "It was 19... 53." I said smirking. "You fail." After that comment, Tanner stayed pissed till the end of class. I for one thought I was amazing.
After class we went outside for Elena's Cheer leading practice. I always go and watch my sister practice, sometimes when Caroline wasn't around I practiced with them. Shockingly, I'm very good at it. As we were about to head over, I told Elena that I needed to talk to Stefan for a second, so she left us at the bleachers. "So," I began as Stefan looked at me. "I had a run in with Damon last night." I said kicking my feet. Stefan groaned a bit, placing his hand over his eyes. "What did he do?" I shrugged looking over at him, "Nothing. We just...talked." He moved his hand from his face and looked at me. "I'll tell him to leave you alon-" "No. Its fine, I can take care of myself. I just wanted to tell you that he tried talking to me. You did say he was trouble." Stefan nodded his head. To be honest, I kinda like 'flirting'/ talking with Damon. Only a tiny bit anyway. I smiled at him saying 'Bye' before leaving his side. I moved over to the practice field and started to watch my sister practice. It was really quiet, so I walked over to Bonnie and Elena as they stretched. "Hey. Where's the blonde one?" Elena looked at me then shrugged, "I don't know. Its not like her. " Bonnie nodded her head, agreeing with her. "I'll try her again." She said pulling out her cell phone. Just then we looked up hearing a car rolling up and seeing who was finally arriving. Caroline and...you got to be kidding me. "Uhh.." I heard Elena stuttered as they kissed. Okay, I am done with today. "Oh, my God. That must be the mystery guy from the grill." Bonnie said looking at Caroline getting out of Damon's car. I just rolled my eyes, "That's not a mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore." Bonnie froze and quickly turned to us with wide eyes. "Salvatore, as in Stefan?!"
We nodded our heads as Caroline walked over to us. "I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind." She said smirking at us, mostly me for some odd reason. I wonder if he said anything to her when they hooked up. Jeez I can't even think about it. As Bonnie and Elena got back in line for practice, The Blonde Devil stood in her normal spot as she spoke. "Sorry I'm late, girls. I, uh, was busy. All right, let's start with the double pike herkey hurdler, what do you say?" The girls all nodded their heads, listening to her. "Cheerleaders." I mumbled moving to a shady spot and sat down with my notebook. As I wrote down more lyrics, I felt someone standing over me. "Yes Damon?" I said not looking up at him. He chuckled and leaned over me, "Watcha writing." I finally looked up at him, shutting my notebook. "Nothing that you need to worry about. So why don't you just go watch your cheerleader girlfriend." I said, snapping at him. I didn't mean to, it just came out. Damon moved and sat next to me. I swear he likes to annoying me or something. I looked over at him, holding back my glare."I rather bug you, your more fun then her." He said looking at me, smiling. Rolling my eyes, I quickly got up and packed my bag before starting to walk away. "Oh come on, Ror- Aurora. Why won't you talk to me?" He said quickly standing up and following me. I just want to be alone and write a song, is that to much to ask? "Because you are a rude ass boy that almost ruined my sisters relationship with your brother." I yelled turning to him. He looked at me then smirked a bit. "Speaking of relationships, whats your status?" 'Single', I thought then shook my head. What am I thinking, he doesn't need to know. I mean he has Caroline anyway. "Go to hell, Damon." And with that I walked away from him.
A couple of hours later, me, Bonnie and Elena where in the kitchen 'preparing' dinner. I never liked cooking, but it was always something that our dad loved to do and made us help him. I remember when we were 10 and I started to have a food fight with Elena while he was in the other room and when he came back, we were both covered in flower. Dad just laughed at us. I looked over at the picture on the fudge of that night, zoning out on Bonnie as she talked about the phone commercials. "Fine. Well, how about this? Today I'm obsessed with numbers. 3 numbers. I keep seeing 8, 14, and 22. How weird is that?" Bonnie said looking at us as she started to cut something up. I smirked, looking at her. "Maybe we should play the lottery. Have you talked to your Grams?" Elena started to chuckle as Bonnie slightly glared at me. "She's just gonna say it's because I'm a witch. I don't want to be a witch. Do you want to be a witch?" Hearing this, I quickly turned to Bonnie, bouncing up and down. "Oh, my jeez. I want to be a witch!" "I don't want to be a witch." Elena said after I spoke. I crossed my arms, looking over at her while she poured the to-go food into a bowl. Shes always had to be a different then me but oh well. Bonnie chuckled watching Elena doing that. "And putting it in a nice bowl isn't fooling anybody." I nodded my head agreeing with Bonnie. "I told Elena that we could've made a pizza but no." Elena shot me a glare from across the counter. "Oh Shut it, Rori." She's just jelly that my idea was better. "Okay, serving spoons. Where are the serving spoons? " We watched Elena mumble, looking around the kitchen. Seriously? How can this girl live in this house and no kno- "Middle drawer on your left." We turned around to look at Bonnie. Well damn. Elena slowly nodded her head as I spoke, "Okay, so you've been in this kitchen like a thousand times. " "Yeah, that's it. " Just then the doorbell rang making Elena move over to Bonnie. "Okay, he's here. Don't be nervous. Just be your normal loving self." She said then quickly walked to the door. Bonnie and I look at each other before I shrugged and walked into the living room.
Dinner was...uh...Awkward to say the least. We sat there in silent and it was the hardest thing I could ever do. I started to drum my fingers against the table, feeling Elena's eyes hit me every few minutes. Finally, after half of dinner in silent, Elena spoke up. "Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" I stopped drumming and looked at them. Stefan started to smile at her. "Well, he let me on the team, so I must have done something right." I smiled nodding my head then turned to Bonnie. "Bonnie, you should have seen Stefan today. Tyler threw a ball right at him, and... " "Yeah, I heard." Bonnie said cutting me off. I slowly closed my mouth and tilted my head as Elena and Stefan looked at her. And there came the awkward silents. Clearing her throat, Elena started to speak, "Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?" Bonnie shrugged her shoulders. "Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad." I sent a glare at Bonnie then smacked her arm. "No, about the witches. Bonnie's family has a lineage of witches. It's really cool." She shook her head at me, "Cool isn't the word I'd use." How is being a witch not the coolest thing in the world. I guess Stefan thought so too. "Well, it's certainly interesting. I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800s." He said looking at Bonnie. She looked at him shocked, "My family came by way of Salem." "Really? Salem witches?" I slowly started to drum my fingers against the table as I watched Bonnie and Stefan talk about witches. Glancing over at Elena, who gave me a happy/hopeful look, I felt like tonight was going great. We continued to eat and talk about witches till we heard the doorbell ring. "I wonder who that could be." Elena said looking at the door. Being boring of drumming, I slowly stood up, "I'll go find out."I excused myself and moved to the door. As soon as I opened that door, I wanted to slam it shut and wish I never opened it. Yup, Tonight was ruined.
