Letters To My Ex-Jerk
Chapter 7- Hello Katherine
A/N: Hey guys! Thank you for the buckets of support I've been receiving… love you all! I'm glad you liked Bonnie's little taste of revenge in the last chapter. In this one, she'll get in touch with a certain ex of Damon's *wink wink* and stir up some drama!
Lots of love to my pre-reader LeniSalvatore4eva and my best friend Key Cullen Salvatore; she gives me inspiration and love! Check out her stories 'Love in The Time Of Vampires' and 'The Life of Mary Alice Salvatore' on her profile- they are awesome!
Anyway, enjoy (:

"The party's on for tonight, Bon," Elena reminded me the next morning at breakfast. Of course, I already knew. I'd heard Elena and Damon talking about it the whole of last night after Elena had come back from her dinner. She brought her cheese sandwich to her mouth and took a bite. Damon had headed out, thankfully, to get some clothes and stuff and check on his room and stuff.
"Okay," I told Elena, as I sipped my white coffee. I leaned on the table, tiredly. I'd stayed up a big portion of the night typing up my essay, and now I was almost done but I didn't want to see my laptop ever again.
Elena shot me a disappointed look, "Why are you not more excited? This is a party, not a funeral," She reminded me, stuffing the rest of her sandwich into her mouth and sipping some milk.
"What do you want me to do, Elena?" I asked her, in an irritated tone, "Dance around on the table singing 'Top of the World'?"
Elena looked at me, alarmed at my sudden outburst.
I sighed, "I'm sorry. I'm really stressed because they're loading me with work," I explained, with a tired roll of my eyes.
She nodded, "I totally understand. I promise. But you have to promise me you'll try to have fun at the party," She offered me a small smile and I nodded.
"I promise I'll try," I replied, knowing she wouldn't get off my back if I didn't. I got up, and put the dirty mug in the sink.
"Do you have classes today?" She asked, getting up off the dining table and jumping down onto the couch.
"No, but I'm thinking of heading to the gym," I told her, "You want to come?"
Elena shrugged, "I could do with some working out. I feel like I'm getting a little flabby," She pulled her shirt up and yanked at an imaginary piece of fat.
I rolled my eyes, "So, we'll head out in half an hour," I told her.
She nodded, "Okay, let me get dressed and tell Damon what we'll be doing," She said, sounding happy.
"Elena,"
"Yeah?"
"Can this just be us two, like only us two girls?" I asked, not wanting Damon to tag along.
Elena shrugged, "If you want," She brought her cell phone to her ears and I nodded, before walking over to my room.
Elena's speaking of Damon reminded me of the perfect revenge plan. It would take place at their beloved party. I would call up Katherine, one of Damon's exes and invite her to the party. I had her number because she was one of the only exes Damon had a good relationship with and was partly still in love with her. He might not be able to resist her charms, especially if I told her to be extra seducing.
I grabbed my phone book and dug out Katherine Pierce's number. Come to think of it, she resembled Elena very much except she had more tanned skin, lighter hair and darker eyes. She picked up on the third ring:
"Hey,"
"Oh Hi, Kat. It's me, Bonnie Bennett. Do you remember me?" I asked, sitting down on my bed after closing the door so Elena wouldn't eavesdrop and figure out what I was going to do.
"Of course I do. You're Damon's girlfriend," She exclaimed, sounding happy to hear from me.
"Urgh, not any more. We broke up," I informed her, trying to sound sad.
"Oh my poor baby, are you okay? He's a jerk, a jerk I tell you!" She sounded angry now
"I know," I said, still in my sad, helpless voice. "I need your help, Kat," I pleaded.
"Of course, what do you need?" Kat asked me, sounding eager.
"Well I need you to…"
LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ
I grinned, knowing that Katherine could be the answer to my problem. I pulled my book onto my lap and started typing up the last part of the essay that was due in a couple of days. Elena hurried in, smiling at me. She was dressed in some gray tracksuit bottoms and a pink tank top. "Aren't we going?" She asked, confused as she looked down at my book.
I nodded, pushing away my book and laptop. "Yeah, just give me a second to get dressed," I murmured and Elena nodded and hurried out of the room. I dressed quickly in a lime tank top and some black tracksuit bottoms and slipped a black jacket over it. I grabbed my purse and followed Elena out into the living room.
"Okay, let's go work out!" She exclaimed, as she saw me. She ran over to me and linked arms with me before pulling me out of the door. I grinned a little back, but my smile dimmed as I saw her happiness which I knew was at least half thanks to Damon. I just hoped the Katherine thing wouldn't break her heart too much.
LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*
Half an hour later, I was panting as I ran on the treadmill. Elena had said she'd had enough and had headed to the sauna room to sit there for a while.
"Hey, it's beautiful voice," I heard someone call from beside me. I turned to look and saw that green eyed gorgeous boy I'd seen the last time I was working out.
I blushed and turned to smile at him, "Hey, boy who I don't know his name," I replied, boldly.
The guy grinned and took a swig of his water bottle. I stopped the treadmill and jogged over to him. "I'm Stefan," He said, after a second, holding his arm out.
I took it, "I'm Bonnie," I murmured, thinking that his name rung a bell but I couldn't remember where exactly I'd heard it before.
"A Scottish name meaning beautiful," Stefan winked at me, causing me to blush.
"I don't know what it means. My mom just named me it," I replied, shooting him a small smile. I took my own water bottle and took a big gulp of my cool water.
"Well, she has good choice. I don't even know what Stefan means," He scratched his forehead.
"Ha, it's okay. I go to the NYU," I said, suddenly not knowing why I felt I trusted him but I did.
"I go to the City University of New York. I'm studying Business there," He told me.
"I'm studying law," I replied, running a hand through my sweat-damp hair.
"Oooh, I'd better stay on your good side then," Stefan shot me a mock-scared look and I laughed.
"You'd better," I replied, just as Elena hurried up to me.
"Bonnie, are you done yet? We have the part-," She trailed off as she noted Stefan.
"This is Elena my roommate. Elena, this is Stefan," I pointed to each one of them and they shook hands formally.
"Her new acquaintance," Stefan added, shooting me a daft grin.
I smiled back and Elena did too, winking at me. "Well, I'm going to head home to set up. I'll see you," She said.
I shook my head, "Wait up, Elena. I'm coming too. Well, I'll see you around Stefan," I murmured.
He winked at me, "I should hope so," He murmured, before touching my arm and hurrying off to the bicycle.
Elena and I hurried to the showers then, Elena giggling and talking about Stefan and how I should have invited him to the party but that was ridiculous because I hardly knew the dude, even though I felt this weird sense of Déjà vu when I saw him, as if I'd seen him before. His name certainly rang a few bells.
"I still think you should have asked him," Elena exclaimed, as she got into a shower.
I slipped into the stall beside her, "Don't be silly. Even if I did, he wouldn't have agreed," I muttered.
I could practically see her roll her eyes, "You should stop being silly. Of course he would have said yes. Look, next time you see him… ask him out," She ordered, and I could hear her turning the water on.
I opened my own shower and sighed into the hot water, "What if he has a girlfriend?" I found myself asking as I squirted shampoo onto my hair.
"Well, then you have nothing to loose," Elena sang back.
"Yeah, except for my dignity," I grumbled, rinsing some shampoo.
"Yeah, yeah… whatever," She replied, "Now hurry up… we have to get home before the guests come,"
"Er, Elena? How many people did you invite?" I demanded, worried about our clean apartment getting messed up.
Elena laughed and wouldn't reply and I just closed my eyes and begged that her party guests wouldn't trash the house.
LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*
I rolled my eyes as Elena cooed over Damon a couple of hours later. We were having a quick lunch of Chinese takeaway that Damon had picked up on his way over before the party which was supposed to start in an hour or so. "Isn't Damon amazing picking up food for us?" Elena asked, breezily as she stuffed a spring roll in her mouth beside me on the table.
I nodded, faking a big smile, "Of course," I gritted my teeth as I replied and Damon grinned at me.
I looked away from him, taking a bite of my noodles with soy sauce. At least he'd ordered what I liked. He must have remembered I liked soy sauce from when we were dating or something. I fought the urge to throw up as Elena picked up a spring roll and put it into Damon's mouth before kissing him.
Damon winked at me as Elena leaned over to get a cup to pour some Fanta in. "Fanta isn't Chinese though," She laughed, not realizing that nobody was talking except for her.
I laughed, if only to make her feel better. "That's because we got that," I replied, not even knowing what I was saying.
"Hey, Damon got enough," Elena replied, shooting me a firm look as if to say 'be thankful'.
I rolled my eyes and got up, spooning my last morsel of food into my mouth. I dumped the carton in the bin and turned to Elena. "I'm going to get dressed," I told her.
Elena nodded, "You'd better try to dress hot. I've invited loads of single guys," She winked at me.
I pasted another smile on my face, "Sure," I said, curtly, noting the fact that Damon was choking on some Chili Rice he had ordered.
I grabbed a cup of water and dumped it in front of him. He took it, thankfully and gulped some down.
"Some people just can't take the heat," I muttered, and I knew he'd heard because he smirked at me. I ignored him and hurried into my room, hoping that my Katherine plan would work out.
LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*LTMEJ*
"Hmmm," I murmured, a few minutes later in my room as I was debating whether to wear my green dress which brought out the color in my eyes or my gray jeans and a white wrap around tank top with a lot of gray sparkly accessories. I decided on the second outfit; I needed that dress later in case I wanted to wow someone.
I was just fastening my bracelet when my cell phone rang, Katherine's number flashing on the screen.
I grinned in anticipation and dove for it, pressing it to my ear. "Hello,"
"Hi my dear, I just wanted to make sure of the address." Katherine burst out, and then she rattled off my address. "Right?"
I nodded, "Yes, that's correct," I informed her, grinning widely.
"Okay, well see you in about an hour, babe," She sang, and I was just about to hang up when I hesitated.
"Kat?" I asked.
"Yeah, Bon?" She replied.
"Thanks for doing this," I thanked her, grateful that she was such a good friend.
Katherine laughed then, "Oh it's okay, it's going to be a blast," She then hung up and I smiled as I put the phone down. I went over to my dresser and started applying some lip gloss and putting on my smoky gray eye shadow, getting ready for a fun night. And boy was it going to be one now that Katherine was in the picture.
