Note: I would like to thank bookwormgrl101 again for doing this story with moi! *happy face* Enjoy the chapter, peoples!

Bonnie:

"This is the cafeteria where our cooks prepare almost everything that young human teenagers like yourself like to eat. Healthy as well as unhealthy food is here everyday." Mr. Collins said.

"What do you do with the left overs?" I asked.

"Put them away to be used the next day.""Are humans the only ones that eat everyday?" mother asked.

"No sometimes the vampires do but they don't serve themselves as much food."

My thoughts had drifted off to Damon again. I was surprised on his interested expression about my education. How could anyone be that gorgeous? Too bad he's a vampire. It was too bad. Plus not only that but even he was human, I don't think he'd be interested in someone like me. He could be a great actor and pretend to care what my mother was saying. But my god I could get lost in his eyes. I wondered how his hair would feel between my fingers. My thoughts trailed off again but this time not to something very nice.

"Hun, Mr. Collins is talking to you." mother said.

"Mr. Collins may I ask you something?" I asked. He nodded. "Of course.""How serious was the boy who got hurt by the vampire?

"He looked hesitant, probably not wanting to worry me. "Bad but he'll recover." he simply said. "Now that we're done with the tour, do you or Mrs. McCullough have any questions?"

"Is the vampire going to receive proper punishment, Mr. Collins?" I asked.

"Yes, I assure you that he is, don't worry."

I felt my mother's hand on my shoulder. "Forgive her, Mr. Collins she's-""She doesn't like vampires, I understand."

"Well it's because of an incident that happened when she was high school in Arizona. It was…" mother trailed off, knowing I don't really want to remember it.

"It was my last year of High School. I was 9 at the time and I was the youngest in my school…or any school district for that matter. I had a crush on a vampire and I guess someone told him because one night he came by my house and wanted to talk to me in private. We went outside and he acted like if he was going to bite me after telling me he loved me and other things. I didn't take it so well. I screamed and I ran inside the house. I was surprised he let me escape. We called the police, the school expelled him and he went to jail." Don't you dare cry, woman. I kept my eyes on the ground and my hands had formed into fists at my sides.

"I'm sorry Bonnie for what happened but I assure you my students are more behaved like that. I'm sorry you heard about the student being hurt. I imagine it must have brought doubts." Mr. Collins said. I nodded and looked up at him.

"I do want to attend this school Mr. Collins. I may have graduated high school awhile ago but I'm doing this for the art class." And my mother doesn't want me to stay at home alone all day while she's at work.

He nodded. "I understand and thank you for not changing your mind, I can assure you Bonnie you won't be disappointed."

When we were done, we said thank you and good bye before we left the building and got in our car. I let out a long sigh and leaned my head on the seat.

"Are you okay?" mother asked, brushing bangs out of my eyes.

"Fine." I lied. Mother nodded and turned on the car. I rolled my head to the side and looked up at the building.

Damon:

When I left after father had checked upon the human boy, Bonnie's face had stayed in my mind. Her scent too. Lavender. From what her mother told me, the little one was very smart. I started college when I was 12. I calculated her present age and I came up 16 being her first year of University again. 18 if she went to all 4 years of college. I felt the corners of my mouth turn into a smirk. Guess my last year won't be so bad after all. There was a knock at my door.

"Come in." I said. I turned and saw it was my younger brother, Stefan.

"Father wants to see you in his office." he said. I nodded. "I'm coming."I followed my brother out the door and down to father's office. Stefan knocked on the door.

"Yes, come in." he said. Stefan opened the door.

"He's here, father."

"Send him in. Thank you, my son."Stefan stepped to the side to let me in and he bowed in respect before closing the door. I turned back to father, waiting.

"Please sit, Damon." he said.

I did and I sighed. "What's wrong?"

"Damon I need you to do me a favor."I thought about it for a few seconds before I nodded. "I want you to keep an eye on Bonnie. The girl you saw earlier with her mother."

"Why?"

"Because I promised her nothing will cause her harm. So I need you to protect her but you need to do it from a distance. Only be there when she's being bothered or something."

"Why from a distance? You don' trust me around her?"

"No. She doesn't like vampires."That hurt, I have to admit.

"Then why put me?"

"Because you're the strongest one here, besides me."

I shook my head. "I…I don't know father."

"Please, Damon."

I looked back at father. I long moment passed before I broke the silence. "What are her classes?"
