[A/N: So, i got nothing to say really so let's get on with the chapter, shall we?]
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
~Prove It~
Damon POV-
Awesome.
That's probably the first word that came in mine (or anyone else's) mind when they think of my life.
I was the crush of every girl in Mystic High; the quarterback of the school football team and above all I practically ruled everyone's social lives.
I got everything I wanted and the worst thing in my life would probably be being legal guardian to my little brother.
OH! And of course Katherine Pierce.
Katherine was like my crush from way back into elementary school. Of course I was -am- madly in love with her; dated her even. But something…um…came up. Sure we had our scheduled backslides. We have this sort of game. It started about a month after we broke up. I was still madly (more than I'm proud off) in love with her and needed to know if she felt anything back. It was quite simple actually; first I sleep with a random girl, next I wait until its top gossip and lastly, Katherine came knocking on my door and BOOM! One night stand.
That was just the beginning. It went back and forth for the last 3-4 years. We usually have A LOT more one night stands during summer because there's no school in the way but not this time. Apparently she went to London. Freakin London!
I knew I had to get her back for that. I didn't see any better way than to sleep with her rival: Rebekah Mikealson.
Well, eh. I've had better sex.
I just can't wait to see her reaction when school starts in a few hours. I've already heard about the infamous 'cat-fight' at the grill. My only regret was not going to that damn party.
Well today is going to be mildly amusing. I just hope this got Katherine's attention. Oh who am I kidding? Of course this would get her attention!
If it didn't then whoever that is, it's defiantly not Katherine.
Elena POV-
The sun peeked through the horizon followed by the annoying beeping of my alarm. To my displeasure: I fell asleep at 2am last night. I came home at 12 o'clock and spent 2 freaking hours reading through the binder!
Okay, I know Katherine's my sister and that's she is really helping me out and stuff but I have to say… She's such a SLUT! I know it sounds really harsh and it kills me with guilt even thinking about it! But you gotta admit! I mean, with every guy in the binder there is an option saying:
Slept with him: [Yes/No]
To make it worse, most were circled yes. Most were one night stands but there were still dozens of other weird stuff. Out of everything, the weirdest 'back-story' would have to be the story of Damon Salvatore… Apparently they used to date but broke up. Apparently he still had feelings for her and Katherine was bored and hated seeing him with other people for some strange reason. Apparently they are both in a seriously messed up school where rumor goes fast. I should prepare myself because from now on, I'm a part of it.
Well I can see why Katherine and this Damon guy are attracted to each other. On his 'personality' column, it was basically summed into two words, emotionless and selfish. Oh well, all I know is that on the advice column, it only said one thing: STAY AWAY!
That's all I need to know.
I dragged myself out of the super comfy bed and started brainstorming on…
A) How on earth am I supposed to find a suitable outfit to wear on the first day of school in Katherine's GIANT walk-in closet?
B) How I'm supposed to avoid her family?
All POV-
Elena had finally come to a decision of a yellow ruffle, singlet dress; coming up to mid-thigh, 4 inch yellow heels and a thin, long-sleeved cardigan that just came above the hem of the dress.
She already knew that, that was 'sooo not Katherine' but everything else was pointless wearing. Sorry, but I don't think that Elena, one of the most compassionate person you'll ever meet would wear a dress that could be mistaken for a belt.
She left her hair naturally wavy with soft curls flowing past her shoulders and put light make-up on.
Yep, she had 'not Katherine' written all over her face but she thought that 'Katherine has a long-lost twin who she then had to track down all the way to London and force the twin to pretend to be her whilst she went to ski in Minnesota' would be everyone's first guess.
Elena had made a run for it once she stepped downstairs but managed to snag an apple on her way out. Wouldn't be the first time she only had an apple for breakfast. She had decided to walk to school since she had the time to and ate the apple on her way.
It like walking on the ground of another world… Everything was different. Everything. The road was narrower and the streets were decorated with less trees than her home. The houses weren't terraced and there were definitely fewer cars speeding down the roads. Weird huh?
It didn't take her long until she reached the school. Elena found herself looking at a 200-300 yard building with the huge sign saying: Mystic Falls in the center.
She gulped the lump in her throat that she had grown since the moment she'd agreed to do this and sighed.
There was no backing out now.
Elena thought as the apple hit the red bin.
Caroline and Bonnie were sitting in the courtyard (at their usual table) waiting for their dear friend Katherine.
"Did you notice something different about Katherine yesterday?" Caroline finally blurted out the thing that had been lingering her mind for all of last night.
"Well… at first I thought so… I don't know…" Bonnie started, struggling to find the right words "She actually seemed nice. Like, genuinely nice like a friend should be!" She drifted, letting out some of the rage from her long time problem with Katherine.
"Bonnie…" Caroline almost sang as she gave her 'the look.'
Bonnie sighed in defeat "Fine! I know she's our friend and all but she's a bitch sometimes."
It was now Caroline's turn to sigh in defeat. "I know but we kind of owe her. She's the reason we're here, Bonnie. We are the popular gossip-o-holic of Mystic Falls high. We've been friends since middle school." She said in a wise voice but the look on Bonnie's face clearly implied her attention was elsewhere.
"Speak of the devil" Bonnie stated as Caroline turned to Bonnie's sight and spotted 'Katherine.'
Elena's head was glued down to her phone as she was clearly typing something. The two girls ran up to Elena at lightning speed.
"Wow, look who's looking modest" Caroline grinned as she took in what she was wearing.
Elena's head shot up but recovered just as fast "You know as they say care, there's another side to everyone." She smiled mischievously at the inside joke.
"Come on then!" Caroline cheerfully exclaimed as the three headed to the main building.
Bonnie inhaled deeply before saying "Welcome to senior year."
Usually Damon Salvatore wouldn't be 10 feet within the school building before 3rd period but what can he say? He couldn't wait to see the expression on her face. Okay so he may seem a teensy weensy bit like a 7th grader with a crush. Well, if teensy weensy meaning bigger than Mount Everest then yeah, sure.
He walked within sight off the school building as his eye caught the trio walking through the school gate. This is gonna be fun. His mind pondered as he headed towards his destination.
Elena had just BARELY managed to remember her locker combination from the binder but she had managed. Her locker was M311 and that is like a mile away from the entrance! Good thing Katherine had loyal friends to stick with her for the miles walk. If only Katherine was one herself.
Elena thought smugly but immediately wanted to smack herself for it.
They were walking down the hall as it parted like the red sea. Elena smiled at herself at the gesture. She was telling Caroline and Bonnie some random stories about London to make pass time as they told her some of the other gossips. God there were so many!
"Okay so we already told you about blonde byotch. What else…" Bonnie thought.
Had they finally run out of things to say? GASP! Elena smiled lightly at her thoughts as a velvet voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Now, by blonde byotch, I'm assuming Rebekah."
Both Caroline and Bonnie had turned to look at who had interrupted their conversation. Elena though had her back still against him.
The whole hallway went quiet as they watched what happens. Elena squeezed her eyes shut with a bunch of names ran through her head.
Was it Eric? No Max! No! No! Dylan? NO! How can I forget!? No, how can I remember!?
Then it finally hit her like an avalanche.
"Damon" She slowly turned around, forcing a little irritation into her voice. It wasn't a hard task to sound irritated around him. From Katherine's review he sounds like a major jackass.
Her breath hitched in her throat for a split second at the sight of him. He had dark ruffled hair with a hint of 'just-got-out-of-bed' but he couldn't look better; his eyes might just be the bluest article she had ever laid eyes on. That coming from someone who practically lived on an island surrounded by the ocean meant something. Elena tried to tear away her gaze from his smoky blue eyes but she couldn't help but think it looked like it took a painter months to get every single detail right.
She finally took in her surrounding and put her guard back up.
"Katherine" He mocked as he got up from his position of leaning against the lockers.
"Oh let's get this over with, shall we? I've got better things to do." Elena swiftly replied, not adding a hint of emotion into it.
"Aw come on Katherine! Don't pout." He continued to tease her as he took another step forward. What does Katherine see in this guy!? Elena thought in disgust as she cooked up a come-back whilst not trying to make eye contact.
"Aw Damon," She mocked right back as she put a dramatic innocent look on her face and took a step towards him. "Ran out of chicks to bang?" She still put the innocent look on her face as the hallway echoed 'ohs' and 'ahs.'
Damon looked slightly taken back but recovered in a nanosecond. "Hm, not bad; but even you know you can't resist me."
He's so damn full of himself!
"Whatever helps you sleep at night?" She replied with a positive voice.
"Come on Kat, we're due for a back-slide anyways."
"My backs kinda hurting from the last one, I'll pass." She blurted out her inner Katherine as she walked away along with Bonnie and Caroline leaving a satisfied crowd and a stunned Damon.
Well, to sum it up in a few words…
Didn't see that coming.
Damon's pen once again hit the table consistently, adding to the 'oh-so' annoying routine people do when they're clearly frustrated. Why is he frustrated, you ask? Well he was still hung over the hallway incident earlier. It was 4th period. 4th freaking period and he still couldn't think of anything else but her.
What if she's finally over me? What if she has changed her mind about our relationship? What if she met someone else over the summer?
The incessant tapping got so out of control that his pen might just break off as every single possibility went through his head as why. If sleeping with Rebekah wasn't affecting her then probably nothing would. Yep, he was screwed.
He put his head in his free hand as he continued to think of every positive possibility. Yep, still none. Why was he so frustrated? Damon Salvatore is NEVER frustrated! Not over a test, not over a girl; nothing.
"Do you want me to take that pen of yours and jab it into your throat Mr Salvatore?" Mr Custedero FINALLY threatened whilst his back was turned to the class.
"Nope, I'm good." Damon made a quick cover but his voice still dripping with annoyance at himself for letting a girl get to him.
He did though realize that something about her was different though…
Before, the only emotion Katherine put in her system were taunting and mischievousness. But with this Katherine, she had facial expressions that didn't only show annoyance but a little trace of rage; she had a smile instead off a smirk and a little fire and wonder in her eyes that looked like she was a kid in a candy store.
What in hell happened over the summer?
Being Katherine has its ups and downs but Elena seems to have survived.
Just 364 more days of this.
American schools were MUCH different and she had to learn how to read the timetable so that just added onto the heap of problems to her list. Right now apparently was lunch. Oh joy.
She was walking down the hallway, trying to figure out ways to be more 'Katherine.' It sure was tricky trying to hold 5 conversations in science. Why can't Katherine be an in-the-dark loner with no friends? Oh I know the answer: what would be the fun in that.
Elena huffed as a strong arm grabbed her and pulled her in the janitors closet.
Elena's breath was caught in her throat before she could register what even happened. Her eyes were glued onto the floor as the force of the speed made her heart as fast as the cheetah's pace. When whoever pulled her stopped at a halt, her brown doe eyes lifted to meet electric blue ones.
She was still in shock as her heart played background to her ears.
"You know, I used to do this all the time, you should be used to it by now." She heard a familiar, velvet voice say to her followed by a taunting smirk.
She quickly turned her 'Katherine A-game' on, knowing she'll need it.
"Well excuse me if I had a whole summer to get over it." She said more to herself which got Damon back to the reason they were here.
"Speaking of summer, what happen during yours?" He spat out, getting to the point as he took a step towards her in the already cramped up closet.
Elena leaned until her back was touching the wall behind her nonetheless her feet still on the same spot they were when she was 'Katherine-napped.'
"I don't know what you're talking about." She swiftly replied, crossing her arms in protest. Did I mention Elena Gilbert, along with compassionate, was also extremely stubborn?
He just let out a humorless chuckle and leaned in, making Elena very nervous about the distance separating them.
"Come on Katherine, if there really was nothing going on then you would've thrown a bitch fit when you found out about me and Rebekah." He spoke in a low, seductive voice. Elena's breath hitched but she thankfully managed to get a few words out now that the big picture was now a lot clearer.
"Aw," Elena started with a mock apologetic look on her face but few giggles escaping her lips. "Is someone jealous that there is someone else in the picture?" She plastered a smirk on her face as she turned her head to a different direction to avoid eye contact.
"Well," He spoke, debating on what to tell her. "Yeah pretty much" He said in a humorous voice.
Elena couldn't help but let a giggle out. Damon could get used to this. Katherine did NOT giggle. The only times she did, it was either an amusing giggle or a taunting one. None were just normal giggles. And frankly, it sounded better than any of the songs by Katy Perry.
She turned her head back to look at Damon but slightly jumped when he was mere centimeters away from her. "Well, fine. If it lets you sleep at night; there's no one else in the picture. I'm all yours." Elena spoke in a bored tone.
Sure he was a little relieved but he wasn't convinced…
He leaned back a little for a better view of her expression before muttering "Prove it." She couldn't help but widen her eyes. How on earth was she supposed to prove herself? Show him her phone contacts!?
A thousand useless ideas ran through her head a million miles a minute. She realized that he was still awaiting an answer and panicked.
"Fine" Her shaky voice replied before quickly leaning up and pressing her lips to his.
The word that best explained the feeling from both point of views would have to be fireworks. Her lips felt soft and untouched. Old Katherine's felt more like it was a 'hundredth user wins a one-night-stand.'
Damon immediately responded and deepened the kiss into a hot make out session.
His hand flew to the small of her back and pressed their bodies together. Elena knew she should stop it before it turned into a closet quickie but somehow her whole body was paralyzed against his.
Waves off spine tingling shivers showered her from head to toe. Her whole body went numb and the only thing she could feel was his cold lips against hers. She responded quickly when he pulled her closer (if that was even possible) and backed him up to the wall.
She had absolutely NO CONTROL! He didn't know what this feeling was but he had never felt it before. He tried to block it out but that was mere impossible.
Since when did Damon Salvatore loose self-control!?
He couldn't help it and screwed control as he started pealing her cardigan off. She barely knew what was happening before she allowed whatever it was. Seemingly, the universe wanted to help Elena out because just as the cardigan almost dropped to the floor, the ring off her phone metaphorically created a wall between the two and snapped Elena's brain back to the real world.
She finally got the strength and power to pull away. Elena's eyes were still closed as she smiled gratefully to whoever the call was from.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Damon muttered under his breath as Elena fished inside her Louis Vuitton bag to look for her phone. She cursed several curses as the caller I.D display say the caller is Rose.
She just praised it wasn't Katherine because to her displeasure, Damon was standing right behind her.
"Who's Rose?" He whispered in her ear as she debated on to answer or not.
"None of your business." She shot back as the phone kept on ringing.
"Well, whoever she is, I'm sure she can wait." Damon mischievously smirked and started kissing the nape of her neck.
Elena had to use every single drip of self-control to stop him.
"Nope, she can't." She scurried away behind him to make some distance "And if I remember, I'm still mad at you for sleeping with Rebekah."
"Dammit" He cursed under his breath as he turned around to face her.
"Oh and Damon," She started as she leaned up and whispered in is ear. "I'm not that easy."
With that, she left the closet, leaving a very hanging Damon behind.
[A/N: So what do you think? Too soon?
I mean it is only the 3rd chapter. I really had to debate with myself to add it or not.
Sorry for the late update. School's been getting on my nerves lately; especially student voice elections (which is pretty much class president but for the school and there are like 20 people chosen.) Anyways, I promise I'll try to update sooner.
Bye for now.]
Next Chapter: Elena finds the courage to tell Katherine what happened between her and Damon and Elena also has to successfully avoid Damon. Good luck with that.
