     I STEPPED INTO the grill, looking around for the people i knew. the parade was over and we were all in more comfortable clothes, ready for the rest of the evening-founder's day ceremony bullshit. i groaned internally when damon salvatore was the first to approach me.

"i like you better like this," he said. "the period look-" he shook his head. "-it didn't suit you."

i made an offended face. "gee, thanks." everyone else had said i looked beautiful, so i didn't let his comment get to me. any more insults and i would be giving him tormenting hallucinations for the rest of his eternal life.

"ophelia, that was a compliment!" he insisted. "of the highest order!"

"yeah, right." i huffed and rolled my eyes. "anyway, stefan seems to be worried about whatever is going on here," i told him, gesturing between the two of us.

"did he mention something to you too?" he questioned.

i raised an eyebrow. "mention what?"

"nothing worth repeating," he said.

i shook my head. "as i was saying, i think you should stop with your flirting bullshit and that eye thing that you do."

"what eye thing?" he asked. he then promptly did the eye thing.

i gave him an 'are you serious?' look. "we aren't friends in any capacity so just... back off."

"oh, come on, ellie," he replied, trying to get on my nerves. "we're the bestest of friends!"

"how about we go to the back of the restaurant?" i offered.

his eyes lit up and he smirked. "and do what?" his thoughts obviously took a more dirty route.

"and i beat the shit out of you!" i then walked around him, pushing his head as i moved past. i couldn't make out what he said, but i knew he muttered something under his breath. i grinned as i made my way towards the bar.

elena suddenly appeared in front of me. "close with damon, i see."

i rolled my eyes. "what, are you jealous?"

"why would i be jealous?" she questioned, but her face didn't match the disgust in her voice.

"you and him are all buddy-buddy now," i stated, shrugging. "but don't worry, i only have eyes for one person."

she understood the subtle jab. "you're such a bitch," she insulted.

"i'm actually a witch," i told her, "you were so close yet so far." interacting with her made me lose my appetite. "don't test my patience," i warned her before turning around and walking out of the grill.
