School of the Damned

Chapter 9

Elena rushed to her English Classroom as she stared at her teacher. At least the first part of her day would be normal human stuff that she could suffer through. The teacher seemed nice enough, but English didn't really interest Elena until she heard the homework part. Apparently according to Stefan homework was a normal part of the process and they was homework in every classroom which will be tedious on her.

"Today you all will be reading the first chapter on 'How to Kill a Mockingbird'"

The class groaned, but Elena didn't mind. She had read it two years ago and still had memories of it. The next session was the same thing only their homework was writing a one page report on the first chapter of the book.

Next on Elena's list was algebra, but before Elena could get there she was tripped and a fit of giggles bursted before her. She looked up to see Rebekah with her cruel smile.

"Gosh Elena watch where you're going you almost messed up my perfect high heels."

Rebekah bumped into Elena again before she headed to class. When Elena finally got there she was greeted with obnoxious stares. She sat down at her desk and listened to another boring lecture. She gathered her homework and walked to chemistry. She had a huge smile on her face as she listened to the lecture. She loved chemistry. She even loved the hardass teacher.

When she was finished she stared at her homework as she made her way to her history class which Janelle was in. She smiled at Janelle as they listened to the teacher talking about the first World War.

When the class was over she literally rushed to lunch so she could talk to the others. Sarah had filled Damon in on what was happening.

"So you're actually going to be in class with me and Sarah."

"Looks like it."

"Why?"

"Because your professor asked for me specifically."

"That is strange, but it might be an interesting class for you to take."

"Or it could completely expose me as a human."

"You win either way."

Elena threw a french fry at him and he laughed. She had to admit Damon was one of her favorite people of the group.

When lunch was over , Elena raced over to the field as she got ready for cheerleading. The only thing she hated about cheerleading is it was run by Rebekah and her sisters. Katherine, Vickie, and Hollis stood there by her side smiling at everything she said. God how she hated them.

"Alright Elena show us what you can do." Rebekah said with her fake smile.

Elena showed her her moves as she did a couple of backflips she learned in elementary school. Rebekah showed her her best fake smile.

"That was good Elena, but not the best. Alright ladies hit the showers."

Elena went to the locker room and changed outfits to go to drama. She was amazed at what she saw. Damon Salvatore in the flesh.

"What is Damon Salvatore doing in a theatre class for beginners?"

"I was interested plus music was boring me."

Elena nodded and sat next to him. The teacher came in with a big smile and wrote on the board getting in character.

"Alright class today We're going a little bigger with getting in character. Today our first big project starts. Your first project is you and a partner will be married, you will find out more about your partner, and we will be reenacting a wedding scene right here in this very classroom. Now I know must people want to be assigned to their friends which is why I decided to draw randomly from a hat."

Elena looked at Damon and listened to the teacher.

"Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert."

"What?! But We're cousins." Damon said trying to show outrage.

"Yes I am aware of that but you're not above of the class Mr. Salvatore. Plus you don't even have to kiss and this assignment should be easy for you."

Damon slouched back in his chair as the teacher said she required that they at least spend two hours a day with each other. It would give Elena a better chance to get to know one of the people protecting her and as soon as she figured everything else out. School should have been easier by then. Right?
