Finally chapter two. :D
Elena went home that night and immediately pulled out her diary, writing all about her day, the ups and downs - mostly downs. But not failing to mention to boy she met on her way home. She didnt even know his name. That night, she ate dinner with Jenna and Jeremy as she usually did, and quickly fell asleep, excited to see him the next day. He was intriguing, thats for sure, which is what made her want to see him again so badly. She wanted to see what was behind the mystery of his green eyes.
When the morning came, she had woken up a little earlier to take a shower before getting dressed and getting her hair done, getting her makeup done sometime between then, eating something quick for breakfast and going to school.
At school things went pretty slow which was nothing new. She ate lunch with her two good friends, Bonnie and Caroline. It was strange how she had once been so close with them. If anyone, she would trust them, or at least Bonnie with her deeper thoughts but her insecurity got the best of her and she stayed quiet, silently wishing she could just let the words fall out of her mouth and finally getting everything she felt all these months off of her chest.
By the time the end of the day came, she was practically running back to that place to see the boy. When she arrived, she slowed down, not wanting to seem too desperate to see him and noticed he was there, just as planned. "You know, you never told me your name" she told him, sitting beside him about a foot apart.
"You never asked" he said, grinning and she smiled. "I'm Elena" she told him and he looked at her. "Im Stefan" he replied, all of the sudden the two falling into an awkward silence. It was comforting yet awkward at the same time. She didnt know how to react.
"How long do you usually stay here?" she asked him, curiosity sparking in her. She couldnt help but wonder how exactly he got there either. They looked the same age, wouldnt he be in school? Unless hes homeschooled or dropped out. Or maybe hes older than she originally thought.
"Until I feel ready to leave" he said simply and she nodded. "Yeah, I used to hangout around her before more" she said. "And what made you stop?" he asked, his own curiosity spiking up about the doe eyed girl beside him.
"Uh...my parents." she said, which automatically made him think they were strict and wouldnt let her come here any longer until she explained further. "They died last Spring and I kind of lost all inspiration to do anything I loved since that point…" she sighed.
Stefan nodded, seeming to understand what she was talking about...what he was going through as if he had gone through it himself in time. It made her wonder about him. His life...his parents. What was under this mysterious facade...or if this facade wasn't even a facade at all? Maybe he was truly just a mystery. Or maybe she just thought too much. Either way, she had questions. She wanted to know.
"What about you? Your parents?" She decided to ask. "They died" he said simply, his voice seeming almost emotionless as if it happened so long ago that he didn't remember. It made her wonder if he knew them or if they died before he could? Perhaps when he was a child, too young too understand?
She looked at him with sympathetic eyes. "I'm sorry" she said and he just shrugged. "It's okay, it was awhile okay. I'm okay." He assured her. His voice was comforting, and it made her smile softly.
Elena looked down at her phone, realizing more time than we originally thought had one by and she looked at him. "I'm...sorry." She said, feeling slightly regretful. "I have to go" she said. "But I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked, feeling hopeful the he would be there. Their talks were short but comforting and she couldn't help but feel disappointed at the feeling of the day when they wouldn't talk anymore, hoping that day wouldn't come.
"See you tomorrow" he said a light smile, and watched her leave.
