XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They have been sitting there for 10 minutes just waiting for someone to conveniently pass by. The first five was spent trying to get some cell phone signal, and then the other five was spent trying to get someone's attention from the outside. Of course to no avail, both of those things were not going so well for Stefan and Elena.
They sat there across from each other in silence before Elena was the one to break the silence.
"So, , what are we supposed to do in this situation" Elena asked a bit teasingly.
"Please don't call me , that's my dad. You can just call me Stefan…" He smiled in the dark but she couldn't see his face.
Elena took out her phone and turned on the flashlight so she could better see his perfect face. When she caught a glimpse of his face she gasped just a tiny bit. He was beautiful. The light just hit the perfect places on his face emphasizing his jaw and his eyelashes that cast shadows down his cheeks. His eyes were smoldering as he looked from his hands that were lying in his lap.
"So, how are getting out of here?" Elena asked
"Wait until one of us gets signal, or until someone noticed we're missing." Stefan said with a hint of amusement.
Shit. Elena thought, Caroline probably noticed… and she knew what Caroline would be thinking. How would she explain this to her? She wouldn't buy this freak coincidence for even a second.
Elena sighed at let her head fall back against the shelf she was leaning against.
"You don't sound too pleased to be stuck in here with me."
Oh on the contrary. She thought. This was almost too perfect to be true.
"I just- you know what never mind." Elena said
Stefan just looked at her closely and studied her face. Something seemed to be bothering her so he went out on a limb and asked. "Anything bothering you, Elena?"
The way her name rolled off his tongue felt all too natural and real. Stefan ran his hand through his hair to try and shake the feeling of familiarity.
"No, not really." She got out quickly. Truth was, she was terrified of the dark and her flashlight began to dim indicating her battery was about to die.
Stefan got up to stretch his legs after sitting for so long. But when he got up the light completely went out. He heard Elena groan like a two year old so he guessed that she was afraid of the dark. Stefan decided to have a little fun with her.
"Stefan?" she called out when she could no longer hear him shuffling around. Stefan had walked all the way to the end of the narrow closet and was a good 4 meters away from her. He stopped moving and the closet fell in complete silence.
Elena began to worry but she didn't want to show that to Stefan so she sat there quietly, as Stefan made his way back to her very quietly without making any noise he leaned forward to whisper in her ear.
"Elena"
Elena gasped and whipped her head to the side where Stefan was standing and all of a sudden her lips were a hairline away from Stefan's. She could feel his breath on her lips, and he could smell her passion fruit lip balm that covered her lips.
Stefan froze, he did not expect this. But he sure as hell was not complaining. So he slowly, yet surely reached out to cup her face and when his hand touched her face that electrifying current sparked up all over again and began radiating within them both.
Stefan could not believe he was this close to her, all he had to do was lean forward a fraction of a centimeter and their lips would collide. Elena finally managed to slow her breathing while Stefan began to rub her thumb back and forth on her cheek.
Elena closed her eyes and reveled in the feel of his hand against her cheek, but she was still because she was still unsure about what would happen.
"Stefan?" Elena finally managed to whisper, their lips barely scraping each other's.
"Lena" he responded with that deep husky voice of his that set Elena's hair on end.
And with his last words Stefan decided to go for it and began to very slowly lean forward, and just as his lips were about to touch hers the lights turned on and Stefan quickly let go of her face and stood up before the door swung open to reveal standing behind it.
"Well I figured you guys locked yourselves in here when Caroline came down to the office to let us know that you guys hadn't returned. Oh man, how long were you guys stuck in here? We should really get this door fixed. Oh well, come on Salvatore. Get Gilbert here back to your class."
In that moment Stefan had never felt so much frustration. Elena was just in shock she just stared at Tanner before he spoke again.
"Are you guys okay?" He asked wearily
"Yeah we're good" Stefan said while grabbing the cart and wheeling it out of the closet and Elena followed closely behind.
Tanner shut the door and walked away leaving Stefan and Elena alone once again.
They quietly began to walk their way back to the classroom when Elena opened her mouth to say something but decided on it otherwise.
They got back to class and neither of them had said a word. Stefan was mad that the perfect moment was ruined. He wanted to feel her lips against his own and he wanted to be able to show her that he does care. Stefan sighed and rubbed his face with both his hands.
Stefan began calling students up to distribute the textbooks while Elena was greeted by a very happy and bubbly Caroline.
"So?! Please tell me you guys got freaky in that closet!" She said a bit too loud.
"CARE!" Elena almost yelled, giving her a look that read 'are you out of your mind?
Caroline just rolled her eyes and shut up.
Elena sat there quietly thinking about what happened. She was so close to kissing him, and she wanted to very badly. She could still smell his cologne and his mint gum. She was lost in a world of Stefan when there was a knock on the door and in walked Katherine.
Stefan looked up and smiled at Katherine walking in with her hair perfectly done, her nails freshly done and she was looking damn fine.
Elena watched her carefully. She did not know who this was so she just sat there as Katherine made her way to Stefan and grabbed his bicep running her nails along his arm. She suddenly felt this urge to run her hands along his biceps and she wanted to rip her pretty little hands off of him. Was he single or not? If he wasn't, why would he hold my face like that, why would he lean in like that? Gosh what has gotten into me she thought as she put her head down, deciding not to stare at them.
"Stef, I know you have 2nd lunch, that little brunette Miss. Popcorn at the front office told me. So you and I are going out for lunch! Got it? I have so much to tell you!" Katherine smiled at him.
Stefan just smiled back, he hadn't seen Katherine in a week and it felt good to be around her again.
"First of all, her name isn't Miss. Popcorn, its Mrs. Pacrany. And Second of all, hello, I am in the middle of class. Go wait in the hall."
Katherine just raised an eyebrow at him and walked away swaying her hips.
"Oh Katherine! You're paying!" Stefan called out after her.
Elena's head snapped up. Katherine?

Bonnie sat patiently waiting for Elena after school, she was nervous. She did not want this to put a strain on their friendship and she didn't want this to ruin anything relationship she has with either Elena or Jeremy.
So when Elena came and sat down beside her Bonnie simply smiled.
"Hey, what did you want to talk about?" Elena asked.
Bonnie took a breath, "Jeremy" she replied simply.
Elena nodded slowly not sure what she meant but she responded "okay what about him?"
"Well you know that we have been best friends forever, and with that I have also known Jer forever… And I wanted to tell you sooner but I didn't know how to say this because lets face it, how do you really say something like this?" She took another breath and reached to hold Elena's hand.
"What I am trying to say is… Jeremy and I are seeing each other."
