I have to say you guys, the lack of reviews is scaring me a bit. I do believe that this chapter will be my last if I don't receive any more…Oh well! We can't all be amazing writers. Enjoy while you can.

And just so you know, I'm going to call Elena Eleo as soon as she comes up with her name, complete with "his" and "him"….etc. articles.

Plus, check out my Author's Profile Pic! It's my sketch of what I think Elena would look like as a boy. Weirdly enough, it kinda reminds me of Jeremy. I might draw a less scribbled-on-notebook-paper one later.

(Btw, I obviously don't own TVD)

As strange as Elena's new disguise was, neither member of the love triangle could really argue with Bonnie. As long as they had no way of getting her back to normal, Elena would just have to roll with it. Bidding her vampire friends an awkward goodbye, she/he made his/ her way back home, having sufficiently (maybe) gotten over her shock by then.

On the drive home, Elena thought over what she would have to tell Jeremy and Ric. She found her newly mannish hands slipping a little on the steering wheel as her nervousness got the best of her. This is going to be quite the interesting story…

She had the good sense to knock on her own front door instead of waltzing in unannounced. If she were Jeremy, she'd be a little freaked out if some random boy had snuck into their home. After only a few moments, Ric opened the door, looking worried.

"Can I help you?" He asked politely, a bit confused. "You're not one of my students, are you?" Elena looked at him, feeling slightly pained.

"Um, can I come in? I need to talk to Jeremy." She said, trying to sound moderately normal.

"Oh, you're Jeremy's friend! Of course, come on in!" Ric exclaimed pleasantly, stepping aside for Elena to enter. She felt extremely strange about having to lie to him and pretend that she was a stranger, but she honestly had no idea how to break the news to him. The last time she'd tried had been…a little terrible. And that had been to a mythical creature. How would a mortal react to something this weird? She thought, gulping nervously.

"Jeremy, you've got a friend here to see you!" Ric called up the stairs while Elena stood off to the side, tapping her foot like most guys do when they're caught in awkward situations. Noticing this, she attempted to stop the tick, thinking about how weird it was.

Jeremy ran down after a few moments, looking puzzled as he certainly hadn't been expecting anyone. He stopped as he soon as he saw Elena at the bottom of the steps.

"Um, who ar…?" He started before Elena rushed to interrupt him.

"JEREMY!" She shouted with a fake grin. "I gotta talk to you, like, right now...dude! You want to go up to your room? Yeah, let's do that." She said quickly, leaping up the stairs. She grabbed his elbow and dragged him into his own room, kind of enjoying the fact that she was strong enough to actually drag him.

Once she'd shut the door behind them, she turned to face her now extremely surprised and a bit ticked off little brother.

"Ok, who the hell are you?" He cried out angrily. Elena sighed heavily and fell back against the door, looking upwards as if to draw strength from God. Taking a deep breathe, she started her explanation.

"Jeremy, I know you're not going to believe this, but….I'm Elena." Jeremy said nothing. He simply stared at her like she was mentally retarded.

"Ok, mind telling me how this happened, Elena?" He asked, unbelieving.

"It was Bonnie's spell!" She cried out, frustrated. "I asked her to disguise me, and the disguise was, a little, different than we expected!"

"Um, yeah. I'll say." Jeremy replied, still looking slightly incredulous. Elena's now-angular jaw dropped to the floor.

"Are you serious! You actually believe me!"

"Well, yeah. This isn't actually the craziest thing that's ever happened to us, surprisingly enough." He said, shrugging. "So, are you going to tell Ric?"

"Oh, definitely not. Not yet, I mean!" She exclaimed hurriedly.

"But he's really worried about you, you know!" Jeremy replied. "He's been all morning!" Elena groaned and made her way over to Jeremy, grabbing his shoulders and looking straight into his eyes.

"You cannot tell him, Jer!" She said sternly. "I'll tell Bonnie to call Ric to say that I'm spending the week at her house for a project we're working on together for…science or something. Got it?" Jeremy nodded, knowing that that kind of weak explanation would probably be easily accepted by their somewhat lax guardian.

"And, you? Where's man-lena going to stay?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "This is really weird, by the way, you being a dude…and all up in my face." Elena growled, annoyed.

"You think I don't realize that?" She groaned again. "Why don't you tell him that we have the same science project, and I'm your partner?"

"Sure." Jeremy said nonchalantly. "So, you can just go to school and be…what? My cousin or something?"

"Perfect! I'm just visiting for now from, like, California." Elena cried happily, throwing her hands up off of Jeremy's shoulders. He visibly relaxed once some distance had been put between them.

"You know, if you go to school as a boy, you really need to learn about the masculine concept of personal space." He said, amused.

"Yeah, about that. You mind teaching me some lessons on how to be a man?" She laughed, putting an extra husky grunt into "Man".

"You've come to the right place, Mr. Elena."

…

The next day, Elena found herself sitting in the passenger seat of Jeremy's car, feeling tremendously uncomfortable in his shirt and pair of his jeans and shoes (they were all a bit large for her). Ric had totally bought both of her stories, unsurprisingly, and now she was on her way to school, feeling very nervous and, strangely, a lot like a new kid.

Tapping her fingers against the window sill, she "Gahed!," frustrated, and turned to her poor little brother with a look of extreme anxiety on her attractive male face.

"Jeremy, God! I can't take this. What if they think I'm weird? What if I make a fool of myself and slip?" She cried out, exceptionally upset. Jeremy tightened his grip on the steering wheel, trying very hard to focus on the road. He was new to driving, and Elena's freak-out was very distracting. Sounding a little scared, he shouted at her,

"Elena, quit it! The worst thing that could happen is everyone thinking you're gay. And that's not even that bad! If you're really that desperate to seem normal, maybe you should try not being so emotional! First lesson of manhood, remember?" Elena was silent next to him.

Parking in front of the school. Jeremy sighed, felling a little bad about yelling at his unfortunate big bro-sister. He knew that if he had been in her situation, he'd probably be close to tears. And that was saying something. Shivering at the thought of being turned into a girl, he turned to the dejected looking male-lena and grabbed her hand comfortingly, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel to hold another guy's hand.

"Look, Lena." He started. "You'll be ok, alright? If you're really not sure how to react to something, just stay silent, ok? Guys do that a lot, too. And, by the way, being seen as gay might not be such a bad idea. It'll be easier for you to keep up that kind of appearance, and, well…" he trailed off, looking a little embarrassed over what he was going to say next. "Let's face it; you're kind of an exceedingly good looking boy. However many guys thought you were hot before? It'll be the same amount of girls after you now. How awkward is that going to be? I mean, if they think that you play on their team?" Elena blushed at that.

"Yeah, you're right…" She mumbled, looking downwards. "I'll see how it goes when I get in there." But even as she said it, she felt herself kind of…warm up to the idea of being pursued by, of all things, another girl. Realizing this, she shook her head violently. This spell is really messing me up.

….

Jeremy and Elena parted ways, off to their respective classes. As Jeremy watched his new "cousin" walk away, he wished her good luck. He decided to wish her double good luck once he realized that almost everyone in the hallway, both girls and boys, strangely enough, were watching this delectable new student stroll down the hallway with longing in their eyes. God, Elena. I am so glad I'm not in your shoes right now.

…..

Elena sat in her own seat in class, trying as hard as she could to look like an average teenage boy. Though she kept her expression mildly blank, she couldn't help but notice the gazes of multiple crushing girls boring into her strong, broad back. Even some guys kept glancing back at her, their eyes betraying a mix of confusion, attraction, and embarrassment. They had no idea why they were attracted to the new boy.

Bonnie and Stefan both entered the room at the same time, stopping abruptly when they saw Elena in her seat. Knowing they had no idea how to react to the new her, she smiled and waved at them, making sure not to wiggle her fingers too much.

"Hey Bonnie, Stefan!" She said cheerfully. "You're cousin Len's friends, right?" The two seemed to unfreeze when they understood what kind of role Elena had come up for herself. Though Stefan still felt really weird about having a, to put it bluntly, boyfriend, Bonnie warmed up to "Elena's cousin" quickly, taking her place beside him and engaging in bright conversation.

Stefan sat stiffly in his own chair, staring ahead at the board. He eavesdropped on the conversation, though, and wasn't sure that he like what all was going down between the girls in thee room and this new Elena.

Seeing Bonnie welcome the new, hot boy so warmly, the other girls took a chance and jumped into their conversation. Every one of them wanted to know more about "Him." Elena felt a little taken aback by all of the attention, but she couldn't say that she didn't dislike it.

"Yeah, I'm Elena and Jeremy's cousin…Leo!" He said happily, his low, throaty voice making his new fan club swoon. They bombarded him with more questions about himself, and Leo spun his history quicker than he would've expected from himself.

"I'm from California, but I dunno when I'm going to go back, exactly…or if I ever will at all" He said, looking directly at Bonnie when he finished, "It all depends on…if I can." Bonnie smiled sadly and shrugged. She still had no idea.

The crowd went on to chat and joke until the teacher came in to start class. Stefan found himself bristling at how easily the girls had laughed at Elena's jokes. Even as a boy, she was particularly attractive to him, which both scared him and allowed him to feel possessive, betrayed and jealous. His throat tightened when he saw how happy she looked. He paid absolutely no attention to the lesson, too lost in his own thoughts and insecurities to care about something as trivial as school.

As soon as the release bell rang, he stood in front of Leo, blocking his way out of class. Taking in his dark expression, Leo stepped back and frowned, concerned.

"Stefan? What's wrong?" She asked, having to restrain her hand from reaching up and touching his cheek.

Harshly, Stefan grabbed Leo's elbow and said quietly, "I'm driving you home. We need to talk."

MUCH longer chapter than the other two! I hope you like it! Review if you do! ;) I promise that the next chapter will be more interesting…depending on the amount of reviews, again, of course. :)
