Ancient Love ~ Stefan Salvatore

-The Night of the Comet-

Brooklyn woke up feeling happier than usual. Last night she stayed up most the night talking with Stefan. She felt things for him she never felt with Tyler. It was exhilarating to her.

She walked out of her room to find Jenna getting ready. "Do I look adult?," Was the first thing Jenna said to her this morning. "As in respectfully parental?"

"Well, good morning to you too, Jenna" Brooklyn replied sarcastically to her.

"Depends on where you're going." Elena butted in, as she walked out of her own room.

Jenna sighed, "Jeremy's parent-teacher conference." Oof she's gotta meet Tanner, Brook thought, "Hair up or down?"

"Sexy stewardess." Elena said. Jenna then let's her hair down again.

"Boozy housewife." Brooklyn said cheekily.

"Up it is." Jenna huffed. "You're feisty today." She said looking at Brook, before heading downstairs, the two girls closely following.

"I feel good," Brook shrugged, "So I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on the sunshine, and all that stuff." She made her way to the coffee , smiling as she made herself a cup.

"Where is Jeremy?" Elena but in again, probably not liking the attention on Brook.

"He left early." Jenna said "Something about getting to wood shop early to finish a birdhouse." Brooke and Elena looked at each other weirdly before looking at Jenna.

Brooke started laughing "Oh I love that boy."

Jenna paused and looked over at the two girls, one laughing with the other holding it back, "There is no wood shop, is there?" She asked.

"No." Brooklyn said between breaths, "Oh Jenny, my girl, my favorite aunt, there's so much to learn"

"Yeah." Jenna sighed with a hand to her head.

"Okay, come on Lena" Brook said turning to Elena, before linking arms with her, "We gotta go to school girly."

The two bid Jenna goodbye before heading off to, as Brook calls it where satan was born.

Brooklyn was sitting in her seat in history before Stefan caught her eye. He was staring at her again.

She leaned over to him and whispered, "You know, the amount of times you stare at me, someone might think you want to kidnap me."

"Maybe I do" He shrugged at her.

"Then do it if you are, but you need to be more secretive" She playfully smirked at him, "Someone might catch on to your intentions" she winked, before leaning back in her chair.

They stared at each other for a while, so long they began a staring competition. To which Brooklyn kept losing, but wouldn't admit it. They were interrupted by the annoying voice of Mr. Wanker.

"Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?" He asked them, expecting us to drop it.

They kept going, "Yes sir, you are actually interrupting a very serious staring competition."

Tanner looked at her, glaring, but then noticed she blinked not just once a few times, "But you're blinking?" He told her.

"Am I?" She feigned innocence, "Or are you just imagining it." Might as well try to gas light him into thinking he's crazier than he already is.

They were interrupted by the bell, making Stefan look away, "Ha, I win." She cheered.

"Okay Brooks, whatever you say" He playfully rolled his eyes at her, them both knowing he actually one.
