I went to school the next day and Damon didn't meet me at my locker to say good morning, that wasn't normal. It wasn't everyday he did that but most days. He'd either meet me at my locker or take me to school if he didn't oversleep. I wondered if maybe he was home it would explain a lot if he was just sick. I stood there debating whether to text him or not. If he was just ignoring me then texting him would make me look desperate. I just wanted to know why my best friend was acting like a stranger.

"Hey sexy whatcha up to?" Stefan said putting his arms around me. I pulled off of him.

"Ew! Get away freak." I said disgusted.

"Aw you're no fun." He chuckled as I closed my locker.

"Leave me alone." I said clearly. I wonder why now after all these months is he bothering me again. He must have gotten the confidence to do so by not caring about Damon hurting him. Maybe he worked out a lot. Then I laughed because that would be a joke he's so still afraid of getting his ass kicked.

"Why? I'm awesome." He said so cockily.

He followed me to my first period. Well actually our first period because he failed biology so he had to take again as a junior. He usually sits with his sophomore friends that are also immature. Today he decides to sit right next to me. I should have seen it coming but I didn't. As the teacher starts to teach us about RNA Stefan throws a piece of paper at me. I looked at him.

"Stop it. I'm trying to listen." I said fed up.

"Okay so you will pair up and write a two piece paper and made a poster board presentation." The class groaned as the teacher explained the project.

"Look to the person next to your right. That will be your partner." I nearly shouted are you freaking kidding me but I restrained myself.

The teacher went on about the project more and handed out requirements and rubrics. The bell rang I was the first one out of there hoping to get away from him. Stefan caught up with me.

"So let's get together at lunch."

"Please." I said blowing him off.

"We have to discuss our project sexy."

"First of all stop calling me sexy. Second of all this is now MY project and I will put your name on it if you leave me alone."

"Nah."

"What is your problem?!" I nearly yelled.

"Chill out." Stefan left and I sighed walking to my locker.

Caroline was out of school today so she could play hooky with Matt. They needed some alone time together since their parents get suspicious so they like to have time every once in awhile. If they're absent and Damon's absent that means I'm alone at lunch. Damon's junior friends are really nice and interact with us freshmen pleasantly but they don't really sit with us when he's not here. It's because their Damon's friends and it'd be awkward to sit with him when he's not there to talk to them. It would end up with all of us eating lunch in silence since we don't really know them that well. I didn't expect everyone to be absent on the same day it sucked. I walked into the lunchroom and grabbed my lunch. When I sat down alone the cafeteria was still quiet. I'm one of the first people always in here because my class is really close. I started eating my cheeseburger when someone sat down. Of course my new bff Stefan. I shuddered at the thought of that.

"What do you not get from leave me alone?"

"Why would I leave you alone when bothering you is so much fun?" He started listing times for him to come over my house to work on the project.

"You are not coming over to my house." I said.

"Then I'll be happy to let our teacher know that you decided to do the project all on your own." He stated and I growled. I didn't want to have that pig in my house with me alone. It really creeped me out especially after trying to kiss me weeks ago but I didn't want to fail.

"Fine."

"That's my sexy girl." Damon overheard and put his tray down loudly and sat down next to me.

"What did you just call her?" Damon said annoyed looking at him then back at me.

"Just talking about when I'm coming over to Elena's to hangout." Damon looked at me wonder what is going on.

"I'll let you best friends catch up." Stefan says before grabbing my hand and kissing it.

"What the heck is going on?" Damon said as Stefan leaves he was clearly mad.

"We got assigned to do a biology project together and he just was being a jerk about it." Damon calmed down.

"Why did he call you sexy?" He was clearly worked up about this.

"I don't really know he likes to make nicknames for me." It was annoying.

"Man that guy is a real weird dude."

"I know." I was surprised to see Damon after thinking he was absent.

"So how was your weekend?" I asked him hoping to find out what kept him from talking to me.

"Good. Yours?" He answered. He didn't even bring up prom. Was this a game or something? We had a good time and he's acting like it never happened. That's not normal for Damon. He always is so easy to talk to and now he's not.

"It was fine." I said pausing for a moment. "Are we still on for this weekend?" I waited for him to answer me.

"No I have plans for this weekend. We can catch up later in the week." Catch up later in the week? What the heck did that mean?

"Okay Damon." I smiled.

We were pretty quiet it the rest of lunch. I didn't really say anything. I didn't really know what to say. I wasn't bothered by Stefan the rest of the day or the next day. Caroline and Matt were back and so were Damon's friends. We didn't really say more than a few words to each other then he talked to his friends and I talked to mine. Nothing weird happened at prom. He didn't even act this weird after we kissed. I didn't understand what was happening to next day was the same as yesterday, I hardly said a word to Damon, but instead when I got home I saw Stefan sitting in my room.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY BED?" I screamed. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket ready to call the police.

"Chill your mom let me in."

"MY MOTHER ISN'T HOME!" I yelled in fear that maybe Stefan was creepy enough to break into my house when no one was home. He was so creepy it scared me, I couldn't help but think about the night of the semi formal when he grabbed my trying to get me to go with him. I was really scared from that. Dealing with him in school wasn't bad because he couldn't do anything with the teachers or with Damon around. This time were in my bedroom. I was so scared of him because of what he did.

"She was here she told me she was going to the store check your phone." I did and saw a voicemail. I listened to it and she told me he was waiting in the kitchen for me to get home so we could start on our project.

"So you decide to sneak up into my room without permission." He nodded yes.

"Not in a weird way though." He grinned.

"GET OUT!" He didn't listen.

It was useless to do anything. He wasn't leaving and I have to start this project or we will fail. I didn't care about the we part I just cared about the me in the we. A lot of classes have a final project before the finals so this was it.

"Elena I'm sorry I scared you." He explained. "I act the way I do because I'm not use to being rejected. It's new to me." I stayed quiet. "I won't touch you I promise. I never wanted you to be scared of me. That wasn't the purpose of acting like how I have been." He apologized. I didn't think he'd be the Damonpe to say he was sorry.

"Stefan I won't forgive you but if you're being truly honest with me then maybe we can move on and past this."

"I'd like to do that." He said.

He finally buckled down and got to work. Surprisingly Stefan was smarter than anticipated. We were working for an hour and a half when Damon walked in. I didn't expect him to be here since he hasn't all week and hasn't even taken me home. Since Damon lives on my street he sees my house on his way home. He stared at us and was pissed grabbing Stefan off of my bed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON HER BED?" I never seen him yell before.

"Damon! it's okay because we were just doing our homework." I tried to get Damon to let go of Stefan. Most of the time I'd say Stefan deserved it but he wasn't doing anything wrong. Damon loosened his grip and Stefan moved out of the way.

"Stefan you should leave." I looked at him and he nodded.

Stefan got his stuff and left quickly.
