London's POV
Last night Elena came into my room to tell me what happen between her and Stefan. I was happy that she was happy but I still had a feeling that something is not right with Stefan. When I woke up the next day I was not feeling so great so I made my way into the bathroom locking the door.
I took a deep breathe making my way over to the sink and pulling out my razer blade with was hidden in the cupboard. I placed the blade at my wrist and slowly pressed it against my skin making a deep cut.
I placed the blade down and washed the cut under the tap. I know that it wrong to do this but its the only way I can let the pain out. I quickly ran to my room to get changed into, black jeans, black tank top and a black leather jacket.

Later I found myself at school talking to Elena and Bonnie. Bonnie was talking to Elena about playing the field as she feels there is something wrong with Stefan. I had a feeling that something was wrong with Stefan but if he makes Elena happy that's all I ask for.
"I'm not saying don't date the guy. I'm just saying take it slow." Bonnie said as we was standing in the school parking lot. "You were the one who said to go for it." I said.
"Now I'm saying take it slow." Bonnie told Elena. I just stood there standing next to them listening to what they was saying.
"Why the about-face?" Elena said.
"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." Bonnie Said.
"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 I got a really bad feeling."
"Is that it? Bonnie."
"It was bad bad!"
"Is this the whole witch mojo thing again?"
"You know what? I'm just concerned. This is me expressing concern about my best friend's new boyfriend."
"And 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? Stefan is a big part of that." Elena said when Stefan came over to us "Good morning, Elena. Good morning, London. Good morning, Bonnie" he said. I quickly look at Bonnie to see that she didn't want to be here. I got my answer when she said. "Hey, um, I gotta find Caroline. She's not answering her phone. So I'll see you guys later."
"Wait up, Bonnie" I said, I was about to follow her but then Stefan asked me to wait. He gave Elena a necklace also giving me a bracelet which I found weird sight I am not his girlfriend.

I was sitting next to Bonnie in history class as Mr Tanner was going on about a lot of rubbish. I looked over to see Elena and Stefan was in deep conversation. I wasn't the only one to notice when I heard Mr Tanner say "Miss Elena Gilbert?"
"Hmm?" Elena said looking up from her chat with Stefan.
"Pearl Harbor?" Mr Tanner said..
"December 7, 1941." Stefan answered for her that's how we was all listening to Mr Tanner and Stefan quizzing each other.
"Thank you, Miss Gilbert." Mr Tanner said.
"Anytime." Stefan said.
"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." Mr Tanner said thinking that he final out smarted Stefan. "Uh, actually, sir, it was '53." Stefan said
"Look it up, somebody. Quickly." Mr Tanner said. I pulled out my phone and type in the question to see that Stefan was right.
"It was 19... 53." I said looking at Mr Tanner which made the smirk drop from his face and everyone started to laugh.
-LONDON GILBERT-
I made my way over to where Bonnie and Elena was to see them getting ready for cheerleading, I was so happy that I quit the team last year it is just to much work.
"where is Caroline?" I said looking around for her not seeing her anywhere that is not like her to miss this.
"I don't know. It's not like her." Elena said.
"I'll try her again." Bonnie said pulling out her phone just as we see a car come over to us. We see Caroline with Damon.
"Uh..." Elena says as they kiss.
"Oh, my God. That must be the mystery guy from the grill." Bonnie said.
"That's not a mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore." I said, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"Salvatore, as in Stefan?!" Bonnie said. As Caroline made her way over to us when I looked at Damon to see him looking at me, when he saw I was watching him he winked at me.
"I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind. Sorry I'm late, girls. I, uh, was busy. All right, let's start with the double pike herkey hurdler, what do you say? And 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Elena, sweetie, why don't you just observe today? Ok? Keep going! Ok. Do it again from the top. And 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." Caroline says.

Meanwhile at the Salvatore Boarding House. Stefan made his way into his room to see his brother Damon sitting on his bed reading his diary. Stefan let out a sigh.
"How were tryouts? Did you make the team? Very Emerson, the way you reveal your soul with so many... Adjectives." Damon said.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan Said.
"I've come to apologize. I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching, and... I want us to start over. We need to put the past behind us. You're my little brother, and if you want to live a normal, happy human life, then I want that for you. Maybe I can do it, too. That I can learn to be a non-living living person. Maybe there's hope for both of us." Damon said.
"You know, it doesn't have to be this way, Damon." Stefan said.
DAMON: Of course it doesn't. I saw Elena and London today, BTW. That means "by the way." They was at cheerleading practice. They looked so perky in their little short shorts. Just... simmer down, I didn't even go near them. I've got my own cheerleader now. Ooh, that reminds me... I gotta run. I have a date. Sweaty palms. Wish me luck." Damon said.

London's POV
When I came down the stairs Elena was letting Stefan into the house. "Hey Stefan" I said making them both look at me "Let's get this, dinner out the way, I told Jeremy I spend some brother sister time with him" I added going into the dinning room taking a seat next to Bonnie.
We have been sitting there for a long time, no one was speaking it was so quiet but Elena spoke up saying. "Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" I knew she was trying to make it not arkward but it was not working.
"Well, he let me on the team, so I must have done something right." Stefan said as I took a sip of my drink.
"Bonnie, you should have seen Stefan today. Tyler threw a ball right at him, and..." Elena said but Bonnie cut her off by saying "Yeah, I heard."
"Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?" I said wanting to break the quiet.
"Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad." Bonnie said.
"No, about the witches. Bonnie's family has a lineage of witches. It's really cool." I said.
"Cool isn't the word I'd use." Bonnie said.
"Well, it's certainly interesting. I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800s." Stefan Said.
I was in the kitchen clearing up sight Caroline and Damon have came I didn't want to listen to all the drama. I was washing some of the dishes when I heard someone say "One more." I turned around to see that it was Damon.
"Oh, thank you." I said, I put my hand out to take the glass but as he passes it to me but before it was in my hand he let go making it fall but he quickly caught it."Nice save." I added.
"I like you. You know how to laugh. And you are a good friends of Stefan makiing him more happy with you and Eelna in his life, which is something I haven't seen in a very long time." Damon said.
"Earlier, did you mean... Katherine and Sophia?" I asked.
"Mm-hmm."
"How did they die?"
"In a fire. Tragic fire."
"Recently?"
"It seems like it was yesterday."
"What was they like?"
"They were beautiful. A lot like you in that department. They was also very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very sexy and seductive."
"So which one of you dated Sophia and Stefan dated Katherine.?"
"Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine. I'd quit cheerleading if I were you."
"Why do you say that?"
"Oh, I saw you at practice. You looked miserable."
"You saw that?"
"Am I wrong?"
"I used to love it. It was fun. Things are different this year. Everything that used to matter doesn't anymore."
"So don't let it. Quit, move on. Problem solved. Ta-da."
"Some things could matter again."
"Maybe. But... seems a little unrealistic to me."
"I'm sorry. About Sophia. You lost her, too."
"Hey. Need some help?" Bonnie said coming into the room, I was about to answer but Damon answered as he was leaving. "Sure, why not?"

It was the rally tonight I didn't really want to go but when Stefan picked Elena she dragged me along. Jeremy got into a fight with Tyler over Vicki but Elena is always on his case we all are dealing with this in different way.
I got bored so I made my way over the Elena's car and waited for her to come so we can go home. I turned around and jumped when I saw Damon there.
"You scared me. What are you doing here?" I said.
"I'm hiding from Caroline." Damon Said.
"And why is that?"
"I needed a break. She talks more than I can listen."
"That could be a sign."
"Well, she's awfully young."
"Not much younger than you are."
"I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think she'd drive me crazy."
"Caroline does have some really annoying traits, but we've been friends since the first grade and that means something to me."
"Duly noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention."
"Yes, it is. Otherwise you wouldn't put an alternate meaning behind everything you say."
"You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you."
"Really?" I said wondering what he was talking about but as soom as the words came out of his month I could believe he said that.
"Mm-hmm. I see 'em. You want me."
"Excuse me?" I said
"I get to you. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me even when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dreamed about me. And right now... You want to kiss me." He said leaning forward but I just slap him.
"What the hell? I don't know what game you're trying to play with Stefan here, but I don't want to be part of it. And I don't know what happened in the past, but let's get one thing straight... I am not Katherine or Sophia." I said walking away.
-LONDON GILBERT-
When we got home I went stairght into my room to get some sleep as it has been a long day.
