So here I am, sitting in history class and bored out of my mind. I really don't know why need history. It's called history for a reason because it's in the past! It's over with already, I mean seriously, move on! While Mr. Tanner is going on about the comet that is coming soon, I can see that Stefan and Elena will not take their eyes off each other. I smirk a little at the thought of Stefan having a crush, it could be very useful for blackmail.

"Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago, it hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration." Mr. Tanner says. "Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?"

Elena and Stefan drop their gazes and look at Mr. Tanner. Elena shakes her head and then the bell rings.

While I'm walking in the hallway, I see Stefan and Elena walking together talking. Me, being the nosy person I am, decides to listen in.

"I brought it." I hear Stefan say. I move my head to the side a little to see him pull out a book from his bag. He hands the book to Elena, "Told you."

"'Withering Heights' by Ellis Bell. You know, I can't believe she didn't use her real name." Elena says. Well, this is a very boring conversation. I thought it would be more... I don't know, interesting. Even though this conversation isn't interesting at all, I decide to continue listening.

"All the Bronte sisters used pseudonyms. It was the time. Female writers weren't very accepted then." Stefan says, matter-of-factly. It was very stupid that they weren't accepted then. Most of the books I read are by girl authors and they are amazing! Take J.K. Rowling for example, her Harry Potter books were absolutely incredible!

"Where did you get it?" Elena asks as they stop. I stop to and hide behind a few people. That action earned me a few weird looks, but who cares.

"Uh, it was passed down. Through the family." Stefan says. That was a good cover up. Stefan holds the book out to Elena. Elena is very hesitant on taking it from the look of things. "I have lots of books. Go ahead. Keep it." Stefan really does like her! I got to admit, it is really cute.

"Oh, no. I...but I would like to read it again. I promise I'll give it back." Elena smile.

"Ok." Stefan smiles back. I see Elena start walking away and I walk over to Stefan. I stop directly beside him as we both watched her leave.

I turn and smirk at Stefan, "You like her." Stefan turns to me and sighs. He drapes his arm on top of my head and I growl a little. I don't like the fact that I'm shorter than him and I really hate it when he does this. I hit him in the arm and we walk to our next class.

*******

It was the end of the day and I was walking with Matt. Me and him have actually become really good friends, even though he doesn't really like Stefan all that much. We were walking and one question came to my mind. I wasn't sure whether to ask it or not, but I ask anyway.

"So how's Vicki doing?" I ask him.

"They're keeping her over night, but she should be coming home tomorrow." He replies.

"That's good." I tell him. Matt and I see Elena walking toward us. I turn to Matt and say, "You're on your own. I'm not getting in the middle of this awkwardness."

I walk over to Stefan who is currently listening in on the conversation Matt and Elena are having. I listen in a little to, to hear that they are talking about Vicki and some missing campers. I didn't know about the missing campers. I wonder what could've happened. I stop listening in and I hit Stefan on the arm lightly, telling him to hurry up.

*******

We stop at the front door of the Boarding House and while I was walking to the door, I saw that Stefan wasn't moving. I stop and turn to him with a questioning look. He then says that he has to do something and to go ahead. I told him bye and walked inside.

I walk to my room and set my bag down beside my bed. I reach for my journal and a pen, then I go back to the living room and sit down on the couch, bringing my feet up onto the couch as well. I was so caught up in writing that I didn't notice Damon behind me. While I was writing he takes my journal and shuts it. I sigh and he lifts up my feet, sits down and lays my feet on his lap.

"Why do you need that journal anyways? It's so boring." Damon says.

"Why I need it is none of your business." I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

"So I heard about that Matt guy's sister Vicki. How is she by the way?" Damon asks, smirking.

"I know it was you who put her in the hospital, Damon." I say.

Damon starts to fake a hurt look, "Me? Now, why would you think I did it, Little Flame?" I gave him a 'really?' look and I was about to retort with something, but we heard a knock on the door. We both look at each other and I tried to hurry and sit up to answer it. Sadly, Damon was faster than me and beat me to it. Mostly why he got to it first was because he pushed me back down onto the couch. He opens the door slightly and I see Elena hesitate, but walks in. She hasn't notice me yet.

"Stefan? Stefan?" Elena calls out. She turns to look around and I was about to speak up, but she turned around to see Damon. Elena stumbles over her words, "I...I'm sorry for barging in. The door was...open."

"You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother." Damon says. I can feel his smirk from here and it infuriates me. I glare at the back of his head and I know he knows I'm doing it because I could feel his smirk get wider.

"He didn't tell me he had a brother." Elena says.

"Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come." Damon leads the brunette into the living room. "I'm sure Stefan will be along any second."

I call out from my place on the couch, "I wouldn't trust him if I were you." Elena looks over at me confused by my statement while Damon gives me an innocent look.

"Wow. This is your living room?" Elena asks amazed by the size of it.

"Living room, parlor, Sotheby's auction." Damon lists off. "It's a little kitschy for my taste. I see why my brother's so smitten. It's about time. For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him."

I give Damon a warning glare and under my breath I say, "Damon, stop."

"The last one?" Elena asks.

"Damon, stop talking. Don't say anything else." I say in a whisper and he sends a sneaky smirk my way. He turns back to Elena.

"Yeah. Katherine, his girlfriend?" Damon questions. Elena shakes her head awkwardly. "Oh, you two haven't had the awkward exes conversation yet."

"Nope." Elena says. I stand up and cross my arms giving Damon a glare. I swear if looks could kill, he would have a million stakes in him by now.

"Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now." Damon hesitates which makes the whole situation more dramatic. "Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end."

"Damon." I say a little louder, stepping closer to him.

"You say it like every relationship is doomed to end." Elena points out.

"I'm a fatalist." Damon states. "Hello, Stefan." I look away from Damon to see Stefan standing behind the two of them. I was so wrapped up in trying to make Damon shut up that I didn't notice him come in.

"Elena. I didn't know you were coming over." Stefan says to her, but his gaze never left Damon.

"I know. I should have called, I just..." Elena was cut off.Damon walks over to the two of them,

"Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Isn't she, Stefan?" Stefan doesn't answer and just looks at Damon with a glare. "You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But...I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker."

"Thank you for stopping by, Elena. Nice to see you." Stefan still never looks away from Damon. Talk about a sibling rivalry.

"Yeah, I should probably go. It was nice to meet you, Damon." Elena says to him.

"Great meeting you, too, Elena." Damon says to the girl. Elena turns to leave, but Stefan stands in her way still never looking away from Damon.

"Stefan....Stefan?" Elena calls out to him. Stefan moves aside and Elena walks past him and out of the door.

When I'm one hundred percent sure she left, I turn to Damon, "Why," I hit his arm. "Did," Hit. "You," Hit. "Do," Hit. "That?" Hit. Damon just looks at me with a smirk. I was about to say something else, but Stefan spoke up.

"Char, could you go to your room for a few minutes? Me and Damon have to talk." Stefan asks. I turn to leave the room and when I'm out of sight I stop and listen in. I can't help it, okay! It's a habit! They won't tell me anything so I'll find out myself.

"Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk Like Char, but I have to admit, Char looks hotter when she uses that spunk of hers." I wasn't able to stop the blush from appearing on my face. Why was I even blushing? "You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess...hospital." I hear Damon say. So that's where he had to go! He could have just told me. I swear, he babies me way too much.

"Someone had to clean up your mess." I hear Stefan say.

"Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly, none of those little tricks work right." Damon taunts Stefan.

"How long was Elena here? And did you do anything to Charlotte?" Stefan asks. He sounds calm, but I can tell he's not.

"Were you worried, Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past with not one, but both of them? Isn't that why you play your little game, 'I'm a high school human'?" Damon asks. I'm very confused. What did he mean about repeating the past.

"I'm not playing any game." Stefan replies.

"Of course you are. We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it." Damon says.

"What kind of game are you playing, Damon?" Stefan asks the other vampire.

"Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?" Damon taunts. I decide that I heard enough and I walk up to my room.
