Harper's POV.
*After School at the Grill*
"I've been looking through this book these past few days and nothing is making sense." Elena shakes her head. "I wondered if maybe you could take a look?" She slides the book across the table towards me.
"Petrova," I read off the cover. "What does that mean?"
"Petrova was Katherine's real name, Katerina Petrova," Elena clarifies. "She was originally from Europe—at least, that's what I got from the book."
"Oh." I pick up the book. "I'll take a look at it later when I have some free time." I turn to my right and lean down to put the book away in my backpack. When I turn back around, I nearly jump out of my seat. "Oh!" I exclaim.
Damon is sitting at the end of the table.
"What do you want, Damon?" Elena growls.
He ignores her and focuses his eyes on me. "So, this is where you spend your time when you're not ghosting me," he muses.
Elena turns to me. "I'm sorry, Harper. He took my phone when I wasn't looking." She glares at Damon. "Like the thief he is."
So that's how he got my phone number while they were at Duke.
Seeing that I'm uncomfortable, Elena starts to gather her things. "Come on. We're leaving," she tells me.
I get out of my seat and sling my backpack over my shoulders, preparing to follow her.
"Where are you two goin'?" Damon asks smoothly.
"I made myself clear, Damon," Elena bites out. "I told you to stay away from Harper." She starts to walk away, and I go with her.
"Okay, see you guys at Jenna's barbecue," Damon says.
We stop in our tracks, and my heart catapults. Elena and I turn back around. How hard is it to get away from this guy?
"How did you know about Jenna's barbecue?" Elena asks suspiciously.
"It was my idea," Damon says. "Jenna went to high school with Mason Lockwood so I figured a social gathering would be a good way to get to know the guy. So, I told Ric to tell Jenna and—"
Elena doesn't let him finish. "Does Jenna know that you're going to be there? Because she's not exactly a fan of yours."
A waiter comes around and places a small box in front of Damon. He smiles up at the waiter. "Perfect. Thank you," he says.
