Ok I just like to say I'm super sorry! I was trying to update during Christmas break but my computer crashed then I got it fixed then something else happened and I had to take it in again and this guy didn't give it back for a MONTH! Also, I had exams at the end of January and couldn't really update anyway and after that I went to Florida :)
Anyway, hope you like this chapter and I'll try to update ASAP!
P.S. I do not own Wizards of Waverly Place or Vampire Diaries
Chapter 6
I woke up the next day and it was just perfect.
I got up right away and changed.
I put on my yellow shirt and black pants on and I decided to wear my brow boots today and I took my brown purse with me. I put on my cupcake necklace and wore my red rose ring and my gold snake ring and I work my brown leather jacket as well. I was really surprised that I decided not to wear any peace sign jewelry.
I then went to the bathroom to put make up on and made my way downstairs.
I went to the kitchen and saw Justin, Elena and Aunt Jenna there eating breakfast.
"Hey guys" I said as I entered the room.
"Hey Alex" They all said back.
"Hey," Elena said.
"I'm driving to school. You coming?"
"Ah…no. Bonnie said she would pick me up and drive me. Thanks anyway"
"Oh…no problem"
"Can I get a ride with you?" Justin asked Elena.
Elena smiled and nodded.
"But I'm not leaving for a while"
"Cool"
"Oh Alex, I'm going to cheerleading tryout today at school. You gonna come"
"Ah…well..."
"She would love to" Justin said with a smile.
"She loved it back in New York. She would surly love it here" Justin said as he gave me a smile.
I only glared at him.
"Great," Elena said.
"I'll sign us both up"
"Elena," I started saying. "Isn't there football tryout today too?"
"Yup"
"Justin, didn't you use to be on a football team?"
"No, that was Basketball"
"Ah, same thing. You should sign him up for football. I'm sure he'll love it"
"Ok, the sign up sheet are right next to each other so, I'll sigh your names on" Elena said with a smile.
Justin only glared at me. I smiled back at him.
I then heard a honk coming from outside.
"There's Bonnie. Bye guys"
"Bye" Aunt Jenna and Elena said.
I then walked out the door and went straight to Bonnie's car. We then pulled out of the drive way.
On our way to school, Bonnie wouldn't stop talking about Stefan and how it would be a bad thing if I dated him. I was so happy when we pulled up into the school. Bonnie then parked her car and we both got out.
"I'm not saying don't date the guy," Bonnie started saying. "I'm just saying take it slow"
"You were the one who said to go for it"
"Now I'm saying take it slow"
"Why the about-face?"
"It's not an about-face. You're single for the first time in your entire high school career. It's the perfect time to play the field"
"Oh, because I'm so that girl. Seriously, what are you not saying?"
"It's stupid"
"Bonnie..."
"What?"
"Spit it out."
"I accidentally touched Stefan. And got a really bad feeling"
I waited.
"Is that it?"
Bonnie then started walking away. I grabbed her arm.
"Bonnie"
"It was bad bad!"
"Is the whole witch mojo thing again?"
"You know what? I'm just concerned. This is me expressing concern about my new best friend's new boyfriend"
I smiled.
"Thank you. I love you for it, I do. But I feel good. It's been a hard year, and I'm starting to kind of feel like things are getting back to normal again. And you know what?"
Bonnie nodded.
Then I saw Stefan walk up to us.
"Good morning, Alex. Good morning, Bonnie" He said.
"Hey, um, I gotta find Caroline. She's not answering her phone. So I'll see you guys later"
"Bonnie, wait..." I said but Bonnie was already gone.
"She doesn't like me very much" Stefan said.
"She doesn't know you. She's my friend. She's just looking out for me. But when she does,"
I then started walking and he followed.
"She will love you"
I then thought about it.
"Here's what we're going to do. Are you free tonight?" I asked while I stopped and turned to him.
"Yes" He said back with a smile.
"Great," I said with a smile.
"Dinner, my house. 8:00. You, me, and Bonnie. You two will spend some quality time and she'll get to see what a great guy you are" I said again with a smile.
Stefan smiled back.
All of a sudden I saw a football come flying towards Stefan's head. I opened my eyes wide.
"Stefan wa-" I stopped when I saw Stefan turn around fast and catch the food ball.
Stefan smiled and raised to football to Tyler who was standing there with smug look on his face. I made a little laugh. Stefan then threw the football at Tyler. Tyler caught it but was thrown back when he did. Everyone saw and stared at Tyler.
"Wow!" I said out load.
We then walked inside the school.
"That throw was insane. I didn't know you played football"
"I used to. It was a long time ago"
"So why don't you try out for the team?"
"Yeah, I don't think so"
I gave him a funny look while I was walking to my locker.
"So you don't like football?"
"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 then opened my locker and started taking my jacket off.
"They don't know you. To them, you're mysterious loner guy. Wouldn't hurt to be part of. Make some friends" I said as I stuffed my jacket in.
"Says the girl that has been glued to her computer for the last couple of days boring her friend to death about what has been going on in her life here in Mystic Falls"
I laughed.
"Hey, don't be like that. Theirs is a different Alex that you haven't seen yet. She was into everything, very busy"
"Well, I look forward to meeting her. And when will that be?"
"Soon. She's working on it"
I smiled and then the bell went and we both had History.
We were in class when Mr. Tanner started talking about the events that happened in World War 2. Stefan and I weren't really listening to the lesson. We were whispering to each other.
"Psst. By the way… Elena says our team sucks. They could use someone like you"
"Can't, I'm a loner"
I made a small laugh.
"Miss Russo?" Mr. Tanner said.
"Hmm?" I said back.
"Pearl Harbor?" He said as he gave me his 'evil' smile.
"Um..."
"December 7, 1941" Stefan said.
I gave Stefan a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Russo"
Everyone laughed.
"Anytime"
"Very well. The fall of the Berlin wall?"
"1989. I'm good with dates, sir"
"Are you? How good? Keep it to the year. Civil Rights Act?"
"1964"
"John F. Kennedy assassination?"
"1963"
"Martin Luther King?"
"'68"
"Lincoln?"
"1865"
"Roe vs. Wade?"
"1973"
"Brown vs. Board?"
"1954"
"The battle of Gettysburg?
"1863"
"Korean war?"
"1950 to 1953"
"Ha! It ended in '52"
Everyone let our a sigh. Especially me. I really wanted Stefan to bet Tanner. I hated him. Sometimes I felt like taking my wand out a cast a spell to turn him into a toad or something but if I did do that, it would probity be the last spell I ever cast.
"Uh, actually, sir, it was '53" Stefan said as I have him a shock look.
"Look it up, somebody. Quickly" said.
We all checked our cell phones.
"It was 19," somebody said. "53"
Everyone clapped and cheered. Mr. Tanner looked mad while Stefan gave everyone a small smile. I gave Stefan smile and gave him a small clap.
After class was over, Stefan and I got up and walked out of class.
"How did you know all of that?" I asked.
"Years and years of crossword puzzles. It's a loner thing"
I laughed.
"Well, I have to go to my other classes and I have no time to see you at lunch. So…see you later?" Stefan nodded.
"I'll see you later"
We then went our separate ways.
When it was lunch, I changed for the cheerleading try outs.
I wore my black short shorts with my red tank top and my pink and black runners and put my hair in a pony tail.
I then went out to the field and there, I found Bonnie exercising.
"Hey," she said.
"You came" Bonnie said as she stood up and gave me a hug.
"Yup I did" I said back.
We then started exercising together.
A little while after, Elena came on the field. She was all in her exercise stuff.
"Oh my god! You're here!" Bonnie said as she stood up and hugged Elena.
"Yep. I can't be sad girl forever. The only way to get things back to the way they were is to do things that were"
Elena then sat down on the ground and started exercising.
"Oh, Bonnie and Elena, you two are coming to dinner tonight"
Elena and Bonnie looked at each other then back at me and smiled.
"We are?" They both said at the same time.
"Mm-hmm. You two, me and Stefan"
Both their smiles were gone. Bonnie looked mad and Elena...didn't really do anything. She just looked down at the ground.
"You guys have to give him a chance and Elena, I don't understand why you're not talking to me"
"It's complicated" Elena said.
"And besides, tonight's no good" Bonnie said.
She then started looking around.
"Have you seen Caroline? I texted her like a hundred times"
I laughed.
"Don't change the subject, Bonnie Bennett. You're going to be there"
"Fine. I'll go"
I then looked at Elena.
She took a deep breath.
"I guess so"
I smiled.
"Good"
"Seriously, where is Caroline?" Bonnie said.
"I don't know. It's not like her" Elena said.
"I'll Try her again" Bonnie said as she looked threw her bag for her phone.
Then a blue car entered the parking lot that was playing really load music.
"Uh..." I said as I pointed to the blue car.
Elena and Bonnie turned their head and looked.
When the car parked, we saw Caroline lean in to kiss some guy. When they pulled apart I saw it was Damon Salvatore.
"Oh, my God. That must be the mystery guy from the grill" Bonnie said.
"That's not a mystery guy," I said. "That's Damon Salvatore"
"Salvatore," Bonnie said as she stood up.
Elena and I followed her.
"As in Stefan?"
I nodded.
Caroline then got out of the car and walked pass us.
"I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind" Caroline said as she walked threw Bonnie and I.
I just glared at Caroline.
"Sorry I'm late, girls! I, uh, was busy. All right, let's start with the double pike herkey hurdler, what do you say?"
I glared over to Damon who was looking at me. He smiled and raised his eyebrows. He then put his car into drive and drove out of the parking lot. I shook my head.
Caroline then put on the radio and then we started tryouts. She put one of my favorite songs.
Starstruck by 3OH!3.
"And 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8" Caroline started saying.
I was having a hard time with the moves because I haven't been cheering for a whole summer and I kind of forgot the moves. Then again, I didn't really try really hard at the Basketball games.
Caroline then stopped me.
"Alex, sweetie, why don't you just observe today? Ok?"
I kept glaring at Caroline. I gave her a fake smile.
"Ok" I said as I started walking away from the group.
I walked until I saw Stefan run on the field with football equipment on and a helmet in his hand. I smiled and walked towards the belchers and watched him play.
It was amazing watching Stefan play. He dodged people so fast, it was…amazing. I laughed when I saw all the player faces, especially Tyler's.
Later, I saw Justin go on the field. It was hilarious! He ran onto the field not knowing what to do then when he finally got into position, he got knocked down. It was hilarious watching him. Everyone on the team laughed but not Stefan. Stefan walked up to Justin and lent him a hand.
I smiled at Stefan.
If it were me, I would lend Justin a hand and when he went to go reach it, I would pull away and let him fall back down but Stefan was different.
"Hey, what are you doing here" Someone said.
I looked behind me and it was Elena.
"Oh, I'm just,"
I looked back at Stefan.
"Watching the team practice"
Elena walked beside me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Caroline asked me to leave. I don't know what her problem is. I've been friends with Caroline since we were little but…I've never seen her like this"
"Really?"
Elena nodded.
"I don't know what's up with her. Are you guys dating?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on. I've seen you two around each other" Elena said as she pointed to Stefan.
"I…don't know. N….Nothing is happening. We haven't gotten that far"
Elena nodded.
"Have you…ever thought about how somebody else feels about him?"
I turned and looked at her.
"What do you mean"
"Come on! You've seen the way I look at him! You haven't notice"
"Wait! Do you like Stefan?"
Elena shook her head.
"I don't get how you can just take everything from me!"
"What are you talking about? What did I take from you?"
"You took my best friend! You took my Aunt away from me and you took my crush away! Seriously! What is your problem?"
"What! Elena let's talk about this!"
"No! Forget it!" Elena said as she walked back to the cheerleading group.
I shook my head and looked back at the foot ball team play.
I saw Matt throw the ball to Stefan. Stefan then jumped up after it but then Tyler came from no where and knocked him down. I saw Stefan lay there and Tyler bend down to say something to him then he walked away with his football buddies. Then a smiled as Matt walked up to Stefan and lent him a hand.
I then went back to the cheerleading group.
"Caroline is so stupid!" I screamed as I hit the dash board in Bonnie's car.
"It's ok. I understand" Bonnie said as she was trying to pay attention to the road.
"Who does she think she is? 'You better try harder next time because you suck'. God! She's lucky that I didn't pull-"
I then stopped. Again! I was going to expose magic to someone I didn't really know.
Bonnie gave me a funny look.
"You were going to pull?"
"A...karate move"
Bonnie laughed.
"You know karate?"
"No...but...I could try"
Bonnie let out another laugh.
We then pulled into the drive way.
Bonnie was about to get out of the car when I stopped her.
"Bonnie. Does Elena like Stefan?"
Bonnie gave me a little smile and nodded.
"Yeah"
"How come you guys didn't tell me?"
"Because...I told Elena that it would be good for you. Elena says you sometimes...cry in your sleep"
I gave Bonnie a funny look.
"Really?"
"Yeah and you always mention a guy named Mason. I'm...I'm guessing that was your ex?"
I nodded.
"Elena says they stopped since Stefan...She...she doesn't want you to cry anymore. She wants you to be happy"
"Then why did she get mad at me before?"
"She's just...frustrated. You know, after her parents died and she had to break things off with Matt, she just...wanted to be happy with someone but she's happy that you are with him"
I smiled.
"Thanks for...being honest"
Bonnie nodded.
We then got out of the car with the Chinese food. We walked threw the front door and then walked to the kitchen where Elena was sitting. Bonnie and I put the bag down and I walked up to Elena.
"Elena," I started saying. "Bonnie told me everything"
Elena glared at Bonnie and then looked back at me.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt that way about him. If you want, I'll break things off with-"
Elena interrupted me.
"No," She said as she stood up from her chair.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have freaked out on you like that. I guess...I'm a little jealous of you guys. I want you to be with him" Elena said as she gave me a smile.
I smiled back and hugged her. She hugged me back. We then broke apart.
"I...have to go see what Justin is doing. Can you guys take out the food?"
Bonnie and Elena nodded.
I then opened the door to the basement and walked downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I went straight to the layer. When I got in there, I saw Justin come threw the wizard portal.
"Justin," I started saying. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, hey Alex" Justin said. "I went shopping to get some potions to stop this vampire problem"
"Justin. When are you going to give up this vampire nosecone?"
"Never"
"Oh great"
"Oh, I learnt a new spell"
"Oh"
"Yup ok this spell...is a pumpkin spell"
I shook my head.
"Are you crazy?"
"No it works. Wizards have done this in the past. Now, it's no different then the sunlight spell. All you say is 'Pumpkins are good, pumpkins are so yummy, so get me some now and make it like mummy.
I gave Justin another funny look.
"Who made this spell? A cooking wizard?"
"Uh...yeah but monster hunters use it to distract vampires so that they could easily go for the kill. You just point your want to the vampire and they are suppose to shrivel up like that witch from Wizard of Oz"
I nodded.
"Ok"
"Try it out"
I then grabbed m wand out from my bag and pointed it a Justin.
"Alex! Don't!"
"'Pumpkins are good, pumpkins are so yummy, so get some now and make it like mummy'"
Then some pumpkin guts came out of my wand and went all over Justin. He was covered head to toe.
I burst out laughing.
"It's not funny!"
"Yes it is!"
Justin then started running after me but slipped on the pumpkin guts.
I busted out laughing again.
Justin then went threw the guts on his clothes and grabbed his wand. He then pointed the wand to the sky and water came falling on him. Then he pointed back up to the sky and gust of air came in and made him all dry. He then pointed his wand to pumpkin guts on the ground and said,
"'Pumpkin guts, pumpkin guts, go away, pumpkin guts'"
The pumpkin guts just disappeared and Justin glared at me.
"Alex"
"What. You wanted me to try it out and I did"
"Alex, you have to be careful remember yesterday?"
"Yes...and that was hilarious"
Justin glared at me again.
"Ok, I want you to get dress cause Stefan is coming over"
"Why do I have to come?"
"Because I want you to meet him. He's really nice and he's smart"
"Fine"
We then walked out of the layer.
I then walked upstairs and saw Elena and Bonnie setting the table.
"Make sure you guys set one up for Justin" I said.
Then both nodded.
"I'm going to change, be right back"
I then walked upstairs to my room and changed.
When it was six o'clock, Bonnie, Elena, Justin and I waited at the kitchen.
I was looking down at my clothes to make sure I looked ok.
I had on a purple shirt with black pants and a sliver rings with my lip ring and a butterfly shape necklace.
Elena and I then got more food out.
Bonnie then started talking about her psychic problems.
"You explain it. Last night, I'm watching Nine-o, a commercial breaks come on and I'm like, I bet it's that phone commercial. And sure enough, it's that guy and the girl with the bench, he flies to Paris and he flies back. They take a picture."
Elena and I shook our heads.
"Oh, come on," Elena said.
"That commercial's on a constant loop"
"Fine. Well, how about this? Today I'm obsessed with numbers. 3 numbers. I keep seeing 8, 14, and 22. How weird is that?"
"Maybe we should play the lottery" Elena and I started laughing.
"Have you talked to your grams?" I asked.
"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?"
Justin and I look at each other and laughed.
"What?" Bonnie asked.
"Oh...nothing" I said.
"Well, I for one don't want to be a witch" Elena said.
"Thank you" Bonnie said.
I then grabbed a bowl and placed some noddles in a bowl.
"Putting it in a nice bowl isn't fooling anybody" Bonnie said.
"Ok, serving spoons. Where are the serving spoons?"
"Little drawer on your left"
Went to the little drawer and opened it. Sure enough, the serving spoons were in there. I shook my head.
"Ok, you have been friends with Elena for years, you've probity been in this kitchen 1000 times"
"Yeah, that's it"
Then the door bell rang. I smiled.
"He's here, I'll be right back"
I said as I walked to the front door.
When I opened it, I saw Stefan standing there with his hands behind his back.
"Hey" I said with a smile.
"Hello. You look, amazing" He said.
"Thank you. So, dinner's ready. Come in"
Stefan then walked in and I closed the door behind him.
We then walked into the kitchen.
"Hey guys, Stefan's here"
"Hey" Both Elena and Justin said at the same time.
Bonnie didn't say a word.
I glared at her but Bonnie didn't look at me back.
"So, let's eat"
We all took a seat and sat down in them. Stefan chose a spot. I sat next to him and Justin sat next to me. Elena took the spot at the end of the table and Bonnie had no choice but to sit beside Stefan. We then dished up and started eating. We didn't say very much during dinner. It was too quiet.
"Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" Elena asked Stefan
"Well, he let me on the team, so I must have done something right"
I laughed and then looked at Justin.
"What about you?" I asked Justin.
"Ah...no...I sucked" Justin said.
"Then why did you join" Bonnie said as she gave him a puzzle look.
"Because he thought he could get away this time because Frankie isn't here to make me sign up for cheerleading," I looked at Justin. "Now where even"
Justin glared at me.
"Whose Frankie?" Elena asked.
"Um..."
"Way to go Alex" Justin whispered to me.
"Frankie...was...Justin's-"
"And Alex's best friend"
I glared at Justin.
"Yeah, they did everything together. They even dressed the same too"
"Yeah that was because...I was such a good friend but let's forget about that subject and let's talk about Stefan! Guys! You should of seen Stefan play today especially you Bonnie. Tyler threw a ball right at him, and..."
Bonnie then interrupted me.
"Yeah, I heard"
I took a ship of my coke.
"Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?" Elena asked Bonnie.
"Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad"
"No, about your history you know, like the witch part," I said.
Stefan then looked at me.
"Bonnie's family has a lineage of witches. It's really cool" Elena said.
"Cool isn't the word I'd use"
Well, it's certainly interesting," Stefan started saying. "I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800s"
"My family came by way of Salem"
"Really?"
Bonnie nodded.
"Salem witches?"
"Yeah"
"I would say that's pretty cool"
"Really? Why?"
"Salem witches are heroic examples of individualism and nonconformity"
"Yeah, they are" Bonnie said as she smiled at Stefan.
Then there was a bunch of strange noises coming from downstairs everyone stared at the door.
"What is that?" Elena said as she stood up and started walking towards the door.
"Don't!" Justin and I screamed as we automatically stood up from our seats. Everyone looked at us strangely.
"Why?" Elena asked.
"Um…because" I looked at Justin.
"Because…I'm…" Justin said.
"Cooking something!" I yelled.
"You cook? Since when?" Elena asked.
Justin glared at me and looked back at Elena.
"Since…I took Foods and Nutrition class" He said.
"Really"
"Yup"
"Ok then what are you making?"
"A….cake. Yup I'm making a cake. Which reminds me, will you excuse me" Justin said as he ran down stairs.
I then sat back down in my seat and Elena sat in hers.
Then the door bell rang.
"Did we invite anyone else?" I asked.
Bonnie and Elena shook their heads. I stood from my chair and walked to the front door. For some reason, Stefan followed me. I opened the door and saw it was Caroline. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Surprise!" Caroline said. "Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert"
"Oh great" I said
"Hope you don't mind" Damon said whom I didn't notice standing behind her.
"Hey Damon" I said as I tucked my hair behind me ears and smiled.
He nodded back to me.
Damon I didn't mind. He seemed like a nice guy when I met him before. Caroline was just the one I couldn't stand.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked as he walked up to the front door.
Caroline walked in and gave me the cake.
"Waiting for Alex to invite me in" Damon said as he looked at me with his smile.
"Oh yeah sure no problem just come-"
Stefan cut me off.
"No, no, no. He can't, uh... he can't stay. Can you, Damon?"
"Get in here" Caroline said.
I gave Stefan a funny look.
"We're just…finishing up" Stefan said.
"Are you crazy? Do you really think I'm just going to ask your brother to leave?" I asked Stefan.
I then turned to Damon.
"It's ok Damon. You're welcome to come in" Damon smiled and then walked in threw the door and passed by Stefan and I.
When Damon walked by us, I automadically glared at Stefan and raised my eye brow and mouthed to him.
'What's wrong with you?'
Damon then turned to me.
"You have a beautiful home, Alex" I smiled at him.
"Thank you but it's not my home. It's Elena's. I'm just staying for the year, I think" I said with a little laugh.
Damon smiled and nodded then looked at Stefan. He then walked into the kitchen.
"Alex, I'll explain" Stefan tried saying to me.
"Not now" I said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Um…I'll get more plates and we'll have dessert" I said as I grabbed the dinner plates and put them in the sink.
I then grabbed some dessert plates and placed them on the table.
Stefan, Bonnie, Elena and I sat in the same spots as last time. Caroline sat beside Elena and Damon took Justin's spot which was beside me. I was serving cake to everyone when Justin walked upstairs with a cake in his hand.
"Hey…Justin" I said to him.
"Hey…everyone" Justin said.
"Um…Damon, I don't think you've met my older brother, Justin"
"Nice to meet you, Justin" Damon said as he gave him a nod.
"Hey" Justin said to him.
"Um…Justin. Nice cake" Elena said.
"Oh…thank you. Just had to put some finishing touches on it" Justin said as he brought the cake to the table and took a seat next to Damon.
I then served everyone a piece.
After we had dessert, we all sat down in the living room. I offered everyone a cup of tea first.
Damon sat on the big chair and Caroline sat with him. Stefan and I sat on the coach next to him while Elena sat next to me and Justin sat on the arm rest next to Elena. Bonnie took the chair across from Caroline and Damon. We were all talking about school when, of coarse, Caroline brought up try out. Caroline started laughing.
"I cannot believe that Mr. Tanner let you on the team. Tyler must be ceiling. But good for you. Go for it" She said.
"That's what I always tell him. You have to engage. You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to go get it." Damon said as he started at Stefan.
Stefan only glared at him.
"Yeah, Elena wasn't so lucky today," Caroline blabbed on again. "It's only because you missed summer camp. God, I don't know how you're ever going to learn the routines"
"I'll work with her," Bonnie said. "She'll get it"
"I guess we could put her in the back" Caroline said again.
I gave Caroline a glare.
"Do you ever think when you talk?" I asked.
Everyone looked at me.
"Excuse me?" Caroline said as she looked at me.
"No I really mean it because do you actually think when you talk or are you just plain dumb?"
I heard a laugh come from Damon's direction.
"Alex?" Elena said as she looked at me.
I rolled my eyes. I then felt a vibration coming from my left pocket. My phone. Crap, I forgot to turn it off before dinner. It must have been mom and dad.
"Would you all excuse me" I said as I stood up and looked at the group. As I walked out of the living room, I notice Caroline giving me a glare from the corner of my eye. I shut the front door behind me and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Alex!"
It was my mom.
"Oh Alex! How are you?"
"Um…I'm fine mom"
"How's Mystic Falls?"
"Great"
"Have you made any new friends?"
"Uh…yeah"
"That's great. Your father and I miss you and your brother so much"
"Miss yeah too mom"
"Your father want to know how are the lessons going?"
"Great, Justin and I practice everyday"
"Good. Make sure you still study"
"I will mom. I have to go, some friends and I are hanging out"
"And your brother?" "
He's hanging out with us"
"Wonderful. You two are finally spending time with each other. Well, I won't keep you away much longer. Bye sweetie"
"Bye mom" I said as I hanged up the phone and walked inside and walked to the kitchen.
"I'm just going to do the dishes" I said as I walked pass the living room.
"I'll help" Elena said as she got up and walked to the kitchen.
Elena and I started collecting dishes that were sitting beside the sink and put them into the dish washer.
"One more" I heard from behind me.
It was Damon.
"Oh, thanks" I said as I reached for the glass but for some reason, Damon dropped it and somehow caught it before it hit the ground. He then handed it to me.
I laughed.
"Nice" I said as I took it from him and put it in the dish washer.
"I like you," Damon started saying.
"You know how to laugh. And you make Stefan smile, which is something I haven't seen in a very long time"
Elena looked at Damon.
"Earlier, did you mean... Katherine?" Elena asked.
I guess something must have come up when I was talking to mom. I always walk out at the best time!
"Mm-hmm" Damon said as he helped Elena put in a plate.
"How did she die?"
Woah! Wait! Die? Katherine died? That was something that bugged me. The thing worse then a break-up is your girlfriend dying. How are you supposed to get over that?
"Fire," Damon said. "Tragic fire"
"Recently?" I asked.
"Well, seems like it was yesterday"
"What was she like?" Elena asked.
"She was beautiful. A lot like you in that department. She was just very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very sexy and seductive"
"So which one of you dated her first?" I asked as I handed Damon and plate.
Damon laughed.
"Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine"
I nodded and walked over to the island and started folding tea towels. Elena came to help me.
"I'd quit cheerleading if I were you" Damon said as he walked over and took the chair next to me and folded tea towels.
"Why?"
"Oh, I saw you at practice. You looked miserable"
"Oh, that's not why I was mad" I smiled.
He looked and me and I could tell he knew I was talking about Caroline.
"I'm sorry," I said.
Damon gave me a funny look.
"About Katherine. She was close to you too"
Damon didn't say anything. He didn't even react. He just…stared at me.
"Hey," we heard coming from the kitchen door.
We all turned our heads. It was Bonnie.
"Need some help?"
I smiled.
"Sure, why not" Damon said.
A little while later, Damon left and went to talk to Stefan and Caroline in the living room. Justin went downstairs to his room to do some homework. After Damon left, Caroline came to help us out. Caroline did say a word to me. She was still mad but I kind of liked it. She would finally leave me alone!
When the night was finally over, I changed into my pajamas, e-mailed Harper about my day and went to bed and laid there, smiling. Things were starting to get better.
