New Chapter. Sorry they are short, will try make them longer in the future :) For those who are wondering about the "Camping with Damon" Story, I will update tomorrow :D Enjoy x

Damon's POV

My alarm broke the silence of my dark room.

I shot up in fright then groaned that it was school.

To be honest I don't know what's worse, School or Home.

I slowly get up and turn my alarm off and begin the ritual of getting ready for school, minus the punching the mirror part.

I look down at my bandaid wrists. Just shaking my head as I hop down the stairs, quietly so I didn't wake my father up.

As I came to the lounge, I saw my father, passed out, with a empty bottle of bourbon in his hand. His snores filled the room.

I just carried on to the front door, ignoring my grumbling. I didn't have my glasses on today, since they are useless because of Matt.

I quickly glanced in the mirror beside the door. I didn't look to bad, apart from the pale skin and dark circles around my eyes, I looked different. My hair was also ruffled around because I couldn't be bothered running a comb through it.

Finally, I open the door. I pause for a second, then step out into the world.

The bell rang as I walked to class. I head to Science and sit down. My heart sinks when I remember my partner. Elena the two-faced bitch.

Speaking of the devil, Elena walks in, eyes on her phone and sits down as if I don't exist.

The teacher walks in and begins the lesson.

"… Now, I want you to discus with your lab partner a time and date you will meet up to work on your project, outside of school. All good?"

Everyone nodded half heartily. "Great! Now get to work! Chop chop." The teacher enthusiastically said to everyone.

Elena turned to me with a smile. I just glared forward.

"You look different today. I like it." She said to me. I just scoffed and went to pretending to read my book. She shifted awkwardly on her seat.

"Look, I'm really-"

" Don't give me the 'I'm sorry, it's not my fault' Crap." I snap.

She looks shocked. "But-"

"Give it a rest." I sigh, drawing circles on my page. She sighed as well, obviously giving up.

The bell rang as she passed me a piece of folded paper and ran off to her next class. My name was written in beautiful script. I stuffed it in my bag and went to my next class as well.

At lunch, I sat in my usual spot, by the big willow tree that was on the outskirts of the school campus.

I sat there, head against the trunk of the tree. I prefely shut my eyes but something was bothering me.

The note.

I opened my eyes and unzipped my bag. In side was the piece of refill Elena wrote on for me. I sighed and opened it with my bandaged hands.

Dear Damon,

I'm really, really sorry for the way I treated you yesterday.

I understand it hurt you and trust me when I say this but, it hurt me too.

I had to do it because my friends will judge me if I hang out with you, I'm sure you are a great guy I can-

I stopped reading the note at tore it up. She would be embarrassed for hanging out with me. Im not that bad…. Am I? I toss the paper in my bag as I hear footsteps approach me. The smell of a familiar perfume hit my nose. Why was she here?

She silently sad down and I finally realised she had been crying. Her chestnut hair stuck to some of her face. She sniffed as I awkwardly sat there. I kinda felt bad for her.

"Wha… whats wrong?" I quietly ask. She looked at me as if she was surprised that I was speaking to her.

"I…I'm really sorry for… for being such a.. such a Bitch to you." She sobbed. She was crying over me? She wiped her nose and looked at me. My heart almost skipped a bit when she held my gaze,

"You did not deserve that… And Im sorry. I was wondering if you wanted to, you know, go to the-"

"The grill?" I guessed. She nodded and blushed. Wait, I made her blush. I almost smiled to myself at the thought.

"And I promise its on me and I promise I will be there." She smiled, nervously. I thought for a moment.

She really wanted to meet up, well its for school work only, but still.

"Hmm Okay." I agreed as she smiled brightly. She looked at me seriously for a split second then started getting up.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing its just, I never realised-" the bell cut her off and she was off.

"Bye," She waved behind her back and ran to class.

What did she realise? I got my bag and headed to Art with more prep in my step.

What do you think Elena realised? Please Review :D x
