It was 9:00 PM and Caroline, Bonnie and I were getting settled in our room.

"I would've punched her," Caroline said as I explained Katherine's continuous pursuit of Stefan's "Salvatore Super Sperm" as Caroline calls it.

"Yeah, and then what would Stefan have thought?" I replied with my own sassy attitude.

I was sick of Katherine using her lack of clothing and pushup bras to get ahead in life.

"I was under the impression that fighting is a turn on for guys" Caroline said giggling

Bonnie and I rolled our eyes in response.

"I was under the impression that Elena doesn't know how to fight. And Katherine looks like she fights dirty anyways." Bonnie would never think of fighting. She would find some way to use her words to settle the argument. Caroline on the other hand… She would kill someone in a fight over shoes.

"I'm not fighting anyone. And Bonnie's right, I have no idea how to fight," I saw Caroline start to say something.

"But-"

"-And I'm not letting you teach me, Care!"

"Look, all I'm saying is that you deserve the chance to have him too. Not every guy is her property. Stefan didn't even glance at Katherine during the whole dinner. He was staring at Y-O-U. Take a chance, and fight for that fine piece of ass." Caroline may have had a point, but before I could elaborate on it, there was a knock at the door.

I walked over and opened it.

There was Stefan, leaning against the doorframe looking straight at me with a small smirk lingering on his lips. Then I noticed his body again. His shirt didn't have sleeves so I was able to get a nice and long look at his arms. It goes unsaid that he has an amazing body, but I think his arms might be the best things about it, besides his abs of course. I never even noticed that he had a rose tattoo on his right arm. I made a mental note to ask him about that later. I also made a mental note to feel his arms later.

"Oh, hi, um, what are you doing here?" He looked at me when his eyebrows furrowed a bit, "I mean, not that I don't like that you're here. Because I do." I was completely flustered by just one movement on his face.

His brows unfurrowed and a white, ear-to-ear smile replaced his smirk. I finally realized that I sounded like a complete idiot about 2 seconds ago.

"I mean," I gave him a bright smile, "hi."

"Hey, I'm just going around and telling everyone that it's lights out at 10:00 so, you girls should probably start getting ready for bed" he was still smiling from my little communication error.

"Oh yeah, we were just, you know, talking about boys" I said sarcastically.

He moved his arm from the doorframe and chuckled.

He could sense my sarcasm and responded "Oh, well just as long as I'm in the conversation."

My breath hitched a bit after he said that. What would happen if he knew he was the whole boy conversation?

After a moment of silence he spoke, looking at me intently, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Elena. Have a good night."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks, you too."

I moved my hand to close the door when he stopped me with his own hand. I looked up at him as he said:

"Look, I had a lot of fun with you today, and I don't really want that to end." He said in a low voice. I could feel red-hot blush creep up my face. I could tell he was serious, but I couldn't tell if this was a dream or real life.

"So, there's a small staff party at my room tonight, 11:00. Ric wont be there. It's the last room in the Staff Building, number 126." He swallowed before saying, "I want you to come"

I wasn't sure how to respond. There were so many things that could go wrong. I could get drunk and be hung-over tomorrow. I could get caught sneaking out. I could bump into Ric. But, I could also spend more time with Stefan.

Possible suspension or Stefan.

Possible Suspension. Stefan.

Possible Suspension. Time with Stefan.

Stefan wins.

"Oh, yeah. I would love too. Um, can I bring Caroline and Bonnie?" I was afraid he would say that this initiation was exclusive to me.

"Yeah, sure of course. But, that means you're going right?" He looked at me hopefully. Like I could ever say no to those leaf green eyes.

I found myself blushing again. "Yes, of course I'm going."

He released a huff of hair through a chuckle. I hadn't realized he had been holding his breath when I answered. He was nervous. Maybe even as nervous as I was.

"Wow, that's great. I'll see you later then." He was smiling that amazing white smile again and I could help but get butterflies when he looks at me like that.

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

That's when he did it. He kissed me. I mean he kissed my cheek, but his lips made contact with me. His lips lingered around my cheek before he said, "11 o'clock. Don't be late."

I turned my cheek and smiled at the ground. Blushing furiously I wondered if this is what he was feeling too. I looked back up at him, but he was already walking away. I could still feel my stomach doing flips.

I turned around, not even fighting the huge smile on my face, and walked back into the room where Bonnie and Caroline were arguing about who would win in a fight, Katherine or her posse member, Juliette.

"Juliette would kill Katherine. She plays volleyball." Caroline had the idea that anyone who played sports was instantly tough as nails.

"Whatever. There's no point in fighting with you. Elena, who was at the door?" Bonnie turned towards me.

"Stefan" Again, blush found itself squarely on my cheeks.

"Elena! Tell us everything!" Caroline was practically bouncing off her bed with excitement.

"He invited us to a party tonight. And I accepted. So get dressed because I'm officially fighting for that fine piece of ass."
