I slid nervously into the midnight Ferrari. I was scared of even touching the seat, never mind sitting on it. Heaven forbid I actually scratch Damon's little baby...

"Are you excited for history?" Damon sniggered.

"Go to hell." I replied.

"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, darling." He drawled.

"Don't call me darling." I snapped.

"Whatever, kitten."

If looks could kill...

Damon shot daggers back at me.

I smirked at him.

"Smirking's my thing." He complained.

After what seemed an eternity later, we arrived at school. I carefully peeled myself out of the car and looked back at Damon.

"Are you gonna be able to find the office yourself, or will you need some help?"

"I think I'll be okay." he smirked.

Good. I didn't plan on taking him anywhere any time soon.

"Although..."

"Oh, shut up." I laughed and headed off to my locker.

I entered the school reception and sat on a small faded chair. Someone was talking to the receptionist. I decided to fantasise about Elena while I waited.

I remembered the other night. I felt hurt that Elena regretted what she did with me, but the point was she did actually do it with me, so that prove that there was still time yet.

"Next!" the harsh voice of the receptionist brought me out of my reverie.

I stood up and stepped over to the desk.

"What do you want." She croaked at me.

"I'm terribly sorry to bother you, ma'am. I'm just starting today, so I figured I should find out where to go..."

"Right, right. Whatever. Your name."

"Damon Salvatore."

"Ahh. Are you, by any chance, related to Stefan Salvatore?" she asked. I cringed inwardly.

"He is my younger brother." I replied smoothly.

"I hope you turn out to be like him. Such a model student..."

I cleared my throat.

"Yes, yes, I'll get your papers..." she rolled her chair over to the filing cabinet and looked through the S section. She came back empty handed. "You have no papers." She grumbled.

"I think you are mistaken." I began. "Go and check again. I'm sure what you find will be perfectly adequate." I compelled her.

The short, plump woman did as I had told her, and returned with a time table and a map. "I am astonished. All the papers turned out to be in perfect order, Mr Salvatore. Sorry for wasting your time." She recited to me.

"No harm done." I sighed back, as I sauntered to find my locker.

Maths and Spanish... Maths and Spanish... I relayed through my head as I practically delved into my locker to find all the books. Once they were all firmly shoved into my bag, I turned to look at the small picture of my family together. I sadly kissed my Mom and Dad on their tiny foreheads. I shut my locker and got a shock to see Damon standing right behind it, forcefully slamming books into his locker.

"Hi Damon." I said, cheerily.

Damon whipped his head round to me. "Oh, hello Elena. Fancy seeing you here." He said, seeming genuinely shocked.

"Well, this is my locker, so..." I started. "What's your first lesson?"

"Math, then history."

"I've got math first too. I'll take you." I offered.

He smirked down at me and said, "I would be delighted if you would accompany me to math."

"Okay. I'll meet you here in ten. There's just something I've got to take care of first..." I said, then darted of in the opposite direction.

In the distance I heard a few girls squealing as they reunited after the six week break. One of the was Elena.

"Bonnie! I've missed you so much!"

"ELENA! OMG!" chirped the voice of the small, dark haired girl, who was jumping up and down ecstatically.

"Elena." Came the voice of a solemn blond haired girl.

"Caroline." Elena replied, equally as serious. Then they both grinned widely and hugged each other.

"And Meredith. God, I swear you get more beautiful every time I see you." Elena smiled at the last girl, a tall girl with black hair and olive skin.

"Flattery." She chided to Elena and embraced her warmly.

"Elena!" the small one – Bonnie? – whispered loudly, "Who's that fit new guy over there who's staring at us? He's hot!"

"He's a weirdo." Elena laughed. Thanks a lot, I thought to her. "That's Stefan's brother, Damon. He just enrolled here while Stefan's away to watch over me."

"That's so romantic..." Bonnie giggled.

"Oh no. Bonnie's on one of her "romantic" rants again. God, we couldn't even get through the first hour of school..." Caroline shook her head, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Is he free?" Bonnie asked.

"No!" Elena scolded. Aha. "You should keep away from him. All of you. He's bad news." She said.

"I guess you can still see him though." Caroline commented.

"Not like that... He's my boyfriend's brother. How could I not talk to him?"

"But you won't be trying to keep a distance." Caroline cleared up.

"I... I..."

"Hey! Leave her alone, Caroline!" came a voice with a deep American drawl.

"Hi, Matt." Elena sighed in relief.

"Fine." Caroline said and stormed off.

"What's got her panties in a twist?" Elena asked, shocked by the blond girl's outburst.

"Tyler dumped her yesterday, for Vicky Donovan-"

Matt began to cough. "What?" he exclaimed.

"Yeah... about that..." Meredith began, but was cut off by the school bell.

"Sorry guys. I need to go and show Damon where math is." Elena apologised. "I'll catch you later!" she said and made her way towards me.

"Ready?" she asked.

"God, Elena. You shouldn't be so strict with your friends, and, by the way, how am I bad news? And I am not a weirdo." I nagged playfully.

"No comment." Elena stated, and lead me to math in silence.
