A/N: PLOT TWIST MY LOVELIES! s2 Sorry, it's been a while again. I'm having trouble keeping on top of these stories but... you know... if I had some reviews of inspiration... ;) lool what do YOU think is going to happen next? (:

ELENA POV

My head was swimming. Classes were buzzing by in a blur, and not once today had I written a single note in any of my notebooks. Although, there were pages and pages of doodles... not the best study guide. I'd had the weirdest dreams last night and no matter what I did I could not distract myself from thinking about them. Honestly, I can't remember all the details, but I do remember being in the trees, and seeing that crow again. The dreams left me with a weird feeling. A kind of heart fluttering mindlessness. A mindlessness that was about to get me in trouble...

"Miss Gilbert?" My teacher asked, standing beside me, which I was suddenly very aware of.

"Yes?" I said, looking up as innocently as I could. My teacher stared at me with a "delinquent" expression for just a moment before saying sternly, "this isn't like you, please pay attention." With a tap on my notes, she returned to the chalkboard. I was too busy going back to my pondering to notice my class giving me odd looks.

Lunch arrived in no time at all, and I continued to not pay attention to anything as I walked to my locker. Of course, this not paying attention brought me to a place I had been too many times already this year. A point which is halfway between falling, and being caught by a random student that I'd walked into. Again.

"I'm so sorry," I began, looking up as a firm hand settled me back onto my feet. "Oh, Stefan." I was beyond embarrassed. How many times what that now? He must think I was completely brainless. That, or was purposely smacking into him all the time.

"Oh, Elena." He said, teasing.

"I'm sorry, I'm really out of it today."

"Yeah I noticed," he smiled, helping me sort my books into my locker. "Need to borrow my notes?"

I felt a blush creep up my cheeks. "Thanks, Stefan, that'd be really helpful." I chuckled, biting my lip. "I honestly haven't been paying attention at all today." Sighing, I shut my locker, turning to face him full on. As usual, I was struck by how insanely beautiful he was. His messy light coloured hair was tousled in just the right way, and his grey green eyes sparkled in the light. Lips? Perfect. Muscles? Yummy. I noticed myself gawking when he laughed. "Sorry," I said sheepishly, leaning my forehead into my hand.

"Not sleeping very well?" He laughed again. "Here, why don't you meet me at the grill after school today and I'll go over all the lessons with you. Sound like a plan?" He smiled, putting his arms out in question.

"Yes, perfect, thank you. You're amazing." I smiled, relieved. He smiled right back.

"That's a nice necklace." He stated, nodding at the little charm I hadn't noticed I was toying with. "Can I see?" He reached his hand out but I quickly stepped back, wanting desperately to protect the odd little object I was wearing. He put his hands up in apology. "It's interesting, what kind of stone is that?"

I was stopped by the question, my mind raced. I pulled the silvery blue orb up to my eye level to examine it, and honestly, I had no answer for him. I had no idea what this necklace was supposed to be. It was pretty, which must have been why I put it on, but I was slowly realizing that I had no idea where I found it or when I put it on... "I'm not sure, a blue one?" I smiled, joking.

He nodded. "Well, Elena, there's something I have to go do. I'll see you... at four-ish?" He handed me his phone, open to a new contact page. Quickly I threw in my number and he was on his way, and off I was to the cafeteria to meet Bonnie and Caroline.

"Elena!" They said together as I took my seat beside my favorite blonde.

Bonnie stared at me with an expression that could only mean, "give me details". To which I assume she was referring to lack of interest in today's classes. My response was to shrug and begin nibbling at my lunch, which I was also uninterested in. "Uhm, hello?" She said, waving her hand around my face. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing, I didn't sleep well." It was a lie, but I had no other answer.

"Do you want to borrow my notes?" They both offered.

I shook my head, a thankful smile covering my lips at my friend's everlasting kindness. "No thanks, Stefan said he'd go over everything with me." And suddenly my dreamy state was gone and I felt nothing but awkwardness. My friends were staring at me with wide eyes and dropped jaws.

"Stefan Salvatore?" Caroline stuttered.

"Yeah... why?" I looked between them, my own eyes wide with confusion.

They looked between each other. Caroline suddenly beamed. "Stefan Salvatore? Elena! Give me details!"

"Details? There's no details we're just studying that's all."

Bonnie piped in then. "Isn't it a little soon to be seeing someone? Didn't you just break up with Matt basically yesterday?"

Interrogate Elena time. My favorite time of day... "It's been almost a week and I'm not seeing anyone, Bonnie. We're just studying."

Bonnie continued to stare at me, and Caroline could hardly contain herself. I apparently had a lot of explaining to do to both of them, for something that I had no explanation for.

"Wait, what about that other guy?" Caroline asked.

"Other guy?" Bonnie moaned.

"What other guy?"

"The guy from the party."

Guy from the party... that whole night was a blur. How much did I even drink?

"Which guy from the party?" Groans from both girls quickly followed.

A/N: Quick guys! What's going on? What happens next? OHMIGOODNESS! :D
