Elena's pov
All morning I couldn't find Bonnie. We agreed to meet me by my locker cause they're so close. The first bell rung and she wasn't here yet. The halls became scattered with students getting to their first class. She and I have fifth period with Mr. Ruiz so I'll just meet her there. I took out my Calculus book from my locker along with my binder and put them both in my Jan-sport back pack before heading to class. When I walked in classroom 109 I placed my backpack in the seat next to me saving it for her, when the seating chart was passed around I wrote her name down for her. Mr. Ruiz was talking about The Antiderivative when the door opened and the room went quiet in came Bonnie a navy blue pull over hoodie hiding her features. I moved my backpack as she came to sit next to me. Before I could question her about why she is late she whispers "I'll tell you after class." I nodded my head and scooted closer to her so she could copy my notes. I couldn't wait for the class period to end.

When the bell rang I pulled Bonnie with me maneuvering through the crowd of teenagers rushing through the halls to their next class, I stopped once we reached our lockers.
"Okay. Spill. Why were you late? You hate being late." I grilled her. Bonnie has been my best friend we've known each other for a long time (not as long as Stefan and I) so I know when somethings going on.

"It's just the usual with Grams she had one to many last night so I was helping her cure her morning hangover. You know she always tells me she's going to stop and she does for a while but Elena I don't know what to do she's a grown woman but I don't want to be the adult here."

I've only once ever seen Bonnie Bennett cry and that was when her dad said that he was going into the army and her mom was going with him, so she didn't have to move from school to school she was going to stay with her grams. That was when we were eight. I have no clue on what to do to cheer her up and I don't think a corny joke will do the trick this time.

The only other thing I know to do and the same thing she did for me when my dog Scruffy 'ran away' like my parents told me. I pulled her into a tight hug letting her embrace me and let her tears stain my shirt, because my best friend needs me.

The warning bell rung and we were still hugging ignoring all the stares and suggestive looks. She pulls away her face tear stained and eyes puffy.

"You're going to be okay, I'll call off work and we'll do whatever you want to do, okay?" I give her a bright smile. She timidly nods her head while sniffling back some remaining tears.

She gets her things out of her locker and I get mine before heading to the gym. I run into a few people asking me about my shirt and I just shrug my shoulders at them.

"What happened to your shirt Elena? I know you're a slob but..." I can tell the smirk on his voice. I want to smack him hard but I resist.

"Nothing." I say knowing that Bonnie wouldn't want me to tell about her home problems to anyone even Stefan.

"Come on. I hear were playing baseball today." I say pulling him towards the gym before we go to our separate locker rooms.

While I'm dressing my mind wanders from Bonnie and Grams to Aunt Jenna (my mother's younger sister) and how she's coming to visit and we must get dressed up for her arrival. I don't see why I have to dress up Jenna knows I very much dislike the dresses my mother forces me to wear every time she visits. I wonder if I can talk her out of wearing a dress and just a girly blouse and some jeans?

"Nice catch Rodriguez." Mr. Harding shouts to Anthony who's playing out field. There two other people ahead of me some dude who's name I don't know and my best friend Caroline Forbes. Her medium long blonde hair up in a high ponytail, her burgundy gym shorts rolled up high thigh and her grey shirt tied in the side so she's showing her light tanned skin.
