The Life of Anastasia Williams

Chapter 29

I do not own the Vampire Diaries

"Oh God I would eat these for the rest of my life if calories and weight gain weren't a thing," Caroline moaned in absolute delight as she ate the brownie.

"I second that. These brownies are delicious," Stefan said in agreement as he ate his own brownie though thankfully for him, calories and weight gain were honestly not a thing. He could eat as much as he liked. Anastasia just laughed with a blush on her face, she found out that this high school was pretty lax with rules so it was alright for her to hang out with the kids if she wanted to, instead of monitoring them the entire time.

"Did I hear something about brownies?" Tyler asked coming up to them, his eyes on Anastasia. Ever since that day when she had pushed him out of the way of the beer bottle, he couldn't stop thinking about her and what she said about her ex. That was when he noticed a few things, the main thing being how she flinched slightly near men and he had never felt such an uncontrollable burst of anger as had then at the thought of someone hurting her so badly that she instinctively reacted to all men like that. Stefan seemed like the only guy she was completely comfortable around, and despite the fact that he didn't want to admit it, Elena's brother as well. 

And that really annoyed him because Jeremy had been the one to hurt her so badly before and yet what had made him even angrier was when he remembered how she had flinched slightly when he had placed his hand on her waist at the founder's party. He didn't want her to think he'd hurt her after what she did for him, especially considering his progress in school ever since she had begun teaching him. She was honestly the best teacher one could have and he knew he wasn't the only one to think that. She was the kindest and most understanding teacher they'd ever had, she was also strict at times but she made the entire lesson fun and engaging and everyone loved it, well, except Elena, who he noticed had been completely ignoring the lesson as a whole even if she showed up, and he realized there was some sort of animosity between them, though at least Anastasia acted professional about it.

Just moments ago, he had been hanging out with some girls, before he had seen her having fun with Caroline and Stefan and excused himself from them as he made his way towards her using the excuse about the brownies to start a conversation.

"Oh, hi Tyler." Anastasia greeted him with a smile on her face before she moved aside on the bench to make space for him. He smiled as he sat down next to her before she pushed the brownie box towards him, "Here. Have one."

Tyler did so and immediately his tastebuds burst with flavour and he almost groaned at how good it tasted. Once he finished his bite he turned towards Anastasia to say, "Where the hell did you get these from? They are definitely not from Mystic Falls."

"Oh, uh...I made them," Anastasia said with a shrug.

"You made these?" Tyler asked incredulously.

"No, it was the elephant across the street," Anastasia said sarcastically playful. "Yes, it was me."

"Funny," Tyler said with a roll of his eyes before saying, "Seriously though, this is honestly the best brownie I have ever tasted."

"Thanks, Tyler," Anastasia said smiling at him though she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks, it always happened when someone praised her.

"Call me Ty," Tyler said as the other two watched confused having no idea that they were friends. But despite how much Caroline wasn't a real fan of Tyler, she had seen how much Anastasia and he got along in classes since she taught that group separately. It hadn't been fair, to be honest, she'd rather be taught by Annie, she engaged everyone at her table and people near her table had started taking notes by listening closely to her instead of the teacher. Unfortunately for her, she was on the other side of the room so she couldn't do so.
