Bonnie POV
The next day of school. Something I was undoubtedly dreading. That would mean I had to see that Damon Salvatore again. Him and his awful glare. That wasn't going to be fun to deal with. I had him in almost all of my classes which meant I would have to deal with him that much more. I couldn't have just had him first period and be over with it! Oh no!! I had to deal with him almost the whole day.
I hopped into my Chevy, I didn't feel like riding with the others, and drove off to school. Sure. They'd have a hissyfit (Matt especially. He was always very protective of us girls) that I didn't tell them I was riding on my own, but they'd get over it. I knew the route by heart now, seeing as I've driven back and forth from that place so many times that I lost count. I was able to really get lost in my own thoughts.
Why had Damon acted so fiercely yesterday? He hadn't even said two words to me and he already decided he wanted to hate me. And, it couldn't be a coincidence, seeing as the Stefan did the same thing to Elena. What caused them to act this way? It just didn't make any sense. What had the two of us done that upset them that much? Neither of us had meant them before yesterday, so it's not like we could've done anything from previous encounters. God, I really wished I understood boys….
My surroundings caught up to me and I suddenly found myself in the school parking lot. Yes! I knew I knew my way here! Not even a single dent on my baby Chevy! The only bad thing: I had parked myself next to a red Ferrari. And, who else do I see getting out of said red Ferrari other than the perfect Salvatore brothers. Great. Hopefully he won't see me inside my little Chevy and will just leave in peace. As in, he won't turn around and give me that awful glare of his and will just walk peacefully into the old school.
No such luck. He caught my eye. I prepared my best "You-better-back-the-hell-off-or-else-I'll-go-all-ninja-on-you" face just in case he decided to shot that evil stare my way. To my surprise, he didn't do anything. Just looked my way, nodded to acknowledge my presence in the car, and headed into the school. Well, him seeing me may not have been lucky, but him leaving without another word surely improved my day.
I followed into the building once the two of them were far enough away that I had no chance of running into them. He may not have been pissed off at me in the parking lot, but that could change if I accidentally ran into him in the hallways. Frankly, I just didn't want to take that chance.
I headed to my locker and punched in my combination as slowly as possible, wanting to take as long of a time as possible to get to first period. I didn't want to face Damon Salvatore right at this moment, seeing as my earlier thought was now stuck in my head. What if he decided to go back to hating me? I couldn't take that evil glare again. It was bad enough yesterday that I wouldn't be able to face that look again. I just wouldn't.
With a sigh, I just decided to suck it up. I didn't even have to look at him. There was no rule entitling me to do that. If he started to direct that evil stare in my direction, I could just turn away.
I scooped up my books that I would need for the day and headed to class. I did not feel like receiving a lecture from my teacher. I just simply wasn't in the mood………
I found my way to the classroom and entered through the open door. Amazingly, I wasn't late. That was a first. It took so long to get from one class to another that I never entered in the door on time. Especially today, with my dillydallying, I would've thought I would be at least a minute or so late. I took my seat next to Damon and turned my gaze straight ahead, determined not to see his icy look.
Only once did I have to turn around and that was due to the fact that I had to grab my pencil off of the desk. I took this opportunity to take a peak at Mister Salvatore. To my surprise, he wasn't glaring. He wasn't smiling or anything, but it wasn't a glare. He was simply staring at my red curls with a look of interest. Almost as if he was trying to see inside my head. Ha! Good luck with that! It's not possible for someone to read minds!
Almost as if he actually he could read my mind, his lips turned up into a smirk at the same time I thought this. But, I couldn't be sure I was seeing this correctly. As soon as the smirk was there, all traces of it were gone. Maybe I had just been imagining it…..
That was how the rest if the class went. I attempted to pay attention and the boy next to me simply looked at me with a questioning glance- that small little smirk never returned. It didn't exactly make me feel any more comfortable around him than yesterday had, but at least he didn't look like he couldn't stand to be around me.
The bell rang in what seemed only minutes after the class started. Of course, I knew it had been so much longer than that. About forty-five minutes, if I had my math right. Yesterday, the accursed little thing took forever to ring but today, it actually decided to ring on a normal time. The only sad thing was, I didn't want to go. I wanted to figure out what was up with the rapid mood swings in mister Salvatore. I would've picked PMS as the excuse but…..he wasn't a girl…..
On my way out the door, what else do I do but trip. My books spewed out of my arms and scattered on the tile floor of the classroom. Great. I would definitely be late for my next class now. I had to spend extra time picking up these books since no one in this school had the decency to come and help me.
Or…so I thought. A dark silhouette with a leather jacket stood over me and gathered up every book that laid on the floor before I even had time to get on my knees and search for them myself. Damon shifted the pile into one of his hands and then held out his hand to help me up. Since when was this guy acting nice to me? Well, I shouldn't exactly complain. Not only was he helping me collect my stuff but he was also helping me up. I seized his (surprisingly cold) hand and heaved myself up and off the floor. I took my books out of his now out stretched arm and gave him a weak "thanks". I started to head off to my next class but my legs couldn't seem to move. I was stuck and I knew exactly why. I was absolutely lost in those blue eyes of his. He seemed the same way. Damon just simply stared down into my brown eyes. The world suddenly melted around me. It was only the two of us, floating in what I assumed to be heaven. It was pure bliss.
The warning bell rang, breaking the two of us out of the trance. Damon shook his head and darted his eyes around in confusion. He looked down at me one more time before mumbling something about heading to his next class and exiting out the door. I followed behind soon after, still wondering what the hell had just happened. Yesterday, I can't stand the guy and now I didn't want him to leave. The second he did, I felt this strange, empty spot in the pit of my core. What the hell was going on????
