Just You and Me

Focus

Elena POV: When Stefan introduced himself to me, I got nervous. I mean, I haven't got time to talk to guys. All they do is make you feel important, but in the end they break your heart. So I tried not to get to attach to guys, get to attach to love. Stefan kept on staring at me once in a while, which was kind of annoying. My eyes glued to my paper, as I take notes. But he keeps looking at me, why does he keep staring at me? Finally, I turned to him. "Why do you keep staring at me?" I whispered. His face went from calm, to embarrassed. His whole face turned red, "I was uhhh." He said. Rolling my eyes, "Whatever." I said. The bell had finally rung, I got up and rushed out. It confuses me, because all the guys at my school were giving me looks. And the girls, their death stares at me. Like that scared me, their human I'm not. I bump into someone at my locker, "I'm sorry." She said. "No no it was my fault." I said. Opening my locker, "You new around here?" She asked me. "I uhhh moved from Vegas." I said. Now closing my locker, "That's cool, I'm Bonnie." She said. Her hand in front of me, I shake it. "Elena, It's nice meeting you." I said. She smiles, "You going this way?" She asked me. Were walking now, "Uhh yea I have math next." I said. "Cool me too." She said. We both walk into the classroom, and then I saw him. Stefan and his posse, I tried to avoid eye contact. I sat in the front with Bonnie, but one of Stefan's friends came up to me. "Hey Elena." He said to me. He had black hair and Brown eyes and he had a nice brown tan. "Can I help you?" I asked. Getting annoyed from his presence. "I was just wondering if you wanted to come to Bonnie's party with me?" He said. Eww gross, I don't even know him. "Sorry can't  I'm sort of busy tonight." I said. His smile disappeared, "Oh well ok, I'm just going to uhh." He said. Bonnie interrupted, "You weren't even invited anyways Tyler." She said. Trying not to laugh, he went back to the corner with the rest of his crew. I didn't want to be rude, but I don't have time for guys like him.

Stefan POV: Tyler is such an idiot, trying to ask Elena out. What a dumb ass, he always thinks he can get what he wants. During class, my eyes wondered at Elena. Dang it, she wasn't going to Bonnie's party tonight. So much for asking her out now, besides I couldn't go anyways. My parents told me, we were having guest over for dinner. She looked back at me, and turned around. God she was beautiful, but she didn't like me. School ended quickly,even though I didn't want it to because of Elena. The guys wanted to come over again, to "play some videogames" when really they just wanted to watch Elena. When we got home, all of them ran upstairs to my room. "Guys we came to hang out, not be stalkers." I said. But they didn't listen, all their heads and eyes were looking inside Elena's room. Of course, I didn't want to look like the odd man out. I crouched down beside Damon, as we watch Elena writing in her diary. The moment ended, when Elena left her room. "Maann I thought she was going to take her shirt off again." Tyler said. I punched the side of his arm, "Pervert!!" I said. We all got up, and walked down stairs to go play the video game.

Elena POV: I ran downstairs, only to find several grocery bags on the floor. "Uhh mom? What's all of this?" I asked her. "Were going next door, to visit the Salvatores." She said. Great were going to meet the neighbors, I hate when she does this. "Now you go get ready." She said to me. Rolling my eyes, I vamp. speed upstairs to my room. Great, I have to wear a dress. Whenever were invited to something, my mom makes ne wear a dress. So I put on my long sleeved purple dress, and my  favorite necklace. A white little bow necklace I got for my 13th birthday, and a charm bracelet I got from Jer for Christmas. After putting on my light make up, I curled my hair and put my black heels on. I grabbed my little black clutch, putting my phone inside of it. And headed downstairs, everyone was dressed nicely. Even Jer and my dad were wearing tuxedos, "Guys were going over for dinner, were not going to meet the president." I said. They laughed, "Look who's talking, you look like your going to me Beyonce." Jer said. I punched his arm, "Haha very funny." I said. My mom handed me the brownies, and we walked over to the Salvatore's house.

Stefan POV: Matt and Tyler left a long time ago, while me and Damon played the videogame. "Stefan!! Damon!! Come do the table!!" Our mom said. "I did it last time." I said to him. He rolled his eyes, and put the controller down to go do the table. After a couple of minutes, Damon came back to play. The doorbell rang, "I got it last time." Damon said to me. Putting down the controller, I walked over to the door. And opened it, "Hello were the Gilberts." Mrs. Gilbert said to me. "Please come in." I said. My eyes widened, when I saw Elena. She looked at me, her eyes looking at mine. "Here, we brought brownies." She said. Handing me brownies, "Thanks." I said. She walked in, as I closed the door. The Gilbert's were all sitting on the couch, Damon signaled me  inside the kitchen. I walked in, only to find Damon laughing. "Shut up Damon!!" I whispered. "Duude I can't believe mom invited them over, tonight's going to be fun." He snickered. "Boys, come meet the Gilberts" our mom said to us. This is just great, Elena was our guest. We walked into the living room, my parents sitting on one couch, while Elena's parents sat on the other. Elena was standing in the corner, leaning against our fire place. And her brother sat on a chair near Elena, while me and Damon stood near the kitchen. "So nice to finally meet you guys, welcome to Mystic Falls." My mom said to them. "Were so glad to be here, and get to meet nice folks like you." Elena's mom said back to my mom. "Shall we eat?" My dad said. We all got up, heading towards the dinner table. My dad at one end of the table, while my mom was on the other. Me and Damon sat next to each other, while Elena and her brother sat next to each other. Her mom sat next to my dad, while her dad sat on the other side of my dad. I got to say, they dress up pretty nice. Elena looked dashing herself, she was gorgeous. While both of our parents talked, Elena and I kept looking at each other. "So Jeremy, what college are you trying to get into?" My dad asked him. "Well sir, I'm trying to get into USC. You know for a football scholarship." He said. "Wow that's impressive, and how about you Elena?" He asked her. She swallowed her drink, "I umm, I'm trying to get into a photography school." She said. That's interesting how Elena wants to become a photographer. "That's amazing, you have quite  determined children Mr. Gilbert." My dad said. "Well, I want them to follow their dreams, how about your kids?" Mr. Gilbert asked me and Damon. "I also am trying to get a scholarship for football, and my brother here is trying to get one as well at USC." Damon said. Elena gave me a slight smile, her eyes were once again on mine. "Duude you guys play football?" Jermey asked us. "Only a little." I said. "Sure we do, but I can't try out yet. Education first right mother?" Damon said sarcastically. "That's right." She said. "Did you try out?" I asked Jeremy. "I did, and I made varsity." He said. "Congratulations on making varsity team, and uh by the way we have practice this Saturday." I said to him. "Wait you made varsity too?" He asked me. "Kid I'm the team captain." I said. "That's sick." He said. We proceeded on eating, as our parents talked across the table to each other.

Elena POV: It was quite impressive,when I heard Stefan played for varsity and was team captain. Now Jeremy is going to look up to him as a God, more like a king. We all got done eating, and sat in the living room. Mrs. Salvatore was showing baby albums to us, of Damon and Stefan. Seeing how cute they were, I could  tell they were getting embarrassed. It was kind of nice getting to know Stefan's family, and where he came from. Getting to know his likes and dislikes, or his inspirations and dreams in life. "Elena go get the dessert." My mom said to me. I walked in the kitchen, and grabbed the platter. All of a sudden, Stefan bumps into me. "Oh I'm sorry." I said. "No your fine." He said. "Listen.....about today. Sorry for going off on you." I said. "No I uhh shouldn't have been staring at you. You know what they say, staring is rude." He said. "Let's start all over, hi I'm Elena." I said happily. He smiled, "Hi I'm Stefan." He said. We shook hands, and laughed. We went back into the living room, "Their you guys are, I was wondering what took you guys so long." My mom said. I passed out the brownies to everyone, handing one brownie to Stefan. "Thank you." He said. He took a bite, "This is delicious, who made these." He asked. "My mom made them, she's really into baking." I said. "Well can I say these are the best brownies I have ever tasted. and uhh don't tell my mom, but I like your mom brownies better." He said. I laughed, "I won't, your secret is safe with me." I said. When it was finally time to go, we said our goodbyes. I was the last one to leave, Stefan and Damon were by the door. "Bye Damon....bye Stefan." I said nervously. "Bye Elena, it was nice meeting you." Damon said. "Bye Elena." Stefan said. I turned around and waved goodbye, giving Stefan a slight smile.
