Will You Go Out With Me?

Stefan's Pov

It's been week since my dinner with the Gilbert's, Jenna was still staying with them temporarily as she calls it.  But we know she just got fired from her job and is looking for a place to crash. In that week I've managed to piss off my brother, get placed with Matt on a Chemistry project and annoy Elena basically a regular week for me.

 It was only third period Chemistry and I could feel the day dragging on the weekend was only a few hours away and I wanted it to come sooner. One more period then lunch, then two more classes then home. 

I was thinking of what I could do during the weekend Caroline and Tyler were throwing a party for the hell of it and I was tempted to go because 'why the hell not.'

My thoughts of the weekend were interrupted by a rupture of laughter only two people when put together laugh like that. Matt and Elena were laughing together and it must have been pretty funny because she only laughs like that when something is really funny. 

"What are you guys laughing about? I want to be in on this." I said and they went quiet. 

"Aw come on don't be like that." I said looking between the two of them.

"Just this regular at work walked out of the bathroom with her dress in her underwear. Elena didn't come in yesterday so I was just filing her in." I looked questionably at Elena and she just shrugged her shoulders as not going to work was an everyday thing.

I didn't ask why she didn't go to work I just figured it had something to do with Jenna. We kept up a conversation about everyday things and things we saw around town. Finally the bell rang and I was the most eager to leave the room. Matt and I agreed to meet up at my house for the project before we went our separate ways. 

Elena and I were walking to History when Matt came up to her out of breath.  "E-Elena. Elena. I-" She took her water bottle out of her backpack before handing it over to him which he drank thankfully. When he finished he crumbled the bottle in his hands. 

"Thank you." He smiled gratefully showing his pearly whites. 

"I have to ask you before I chicken out. Elena Gilbert..." 

'Oh no, he's going to propose to her' that was the first thought that came to mind but I immediately dismissed the stupid idea.

"Would you like to go with me to Caroline and Tyler's party this Saturday?" 

'Did he just ask her out?' 

She laughed a small laugh that it was barely audible. "What do you mean?" I rolled my eyes, I didn't think Elena could be this ignorant.

"Like a date. Will you be my date to the party." He asked heat rising from his neck to his face. I just stood there looking between the action that was taking place in front of me. 

She opened her mouth to speak but he cut her off.
