Chapter 7

The whole school was buzzing with excitement because of Damon's arrival. Elena had waited anxiously during every lesson she had that day, staring at the door expecting him to walk in any second. There was a rumour going around that he was starting here, but Elena knew that couldn't be true he wasn't a boy; he was a man so if he was starting school it had to be as a teacher, right? She was disappointed when she never even caught another glimpse of him; there was something about him, something that made her forget everything. She asked Bonnie and Meredith to come around after school, to make Aunt Judith happy.

"So when do you think he's starting school?" Bonnie asked practically jumping off Elena's bed in excitement. They'd been talking about Damon non-stop all day that they both knew who she was talking about instantly.

"You can't be sure he is a student", Elena replied trying to sound unconcerned.

"That's true…oh, he could be a model!" she said each syllable rising in pitch.

"Why would a model come to Robert E. Lee?" Meredith asked questioned reasonably. "Models can go to school like anyone else" Bonnie said sounding disappointed.

"I meant he could be a teacher" Elena said examining her fingernails, to look composed, when inside she wanted to run out of the house and search the whole town to see him one more time.
