Gabriella Gilbert || Vampire Diaries

Chapter Three

    "I'm not saying don't date the guy, I'm just saying...take it slow," Bonnie mentions casually once we get out of her car. She locks the car behind us as we walk through our school's parking lot.

    "But you're the one who said go for it," Elena argues, not understanding Bonnie's sudden shift.

    "Now I'm saying to take it slow." Bonnie shrugs.

    "I think you should just screw the guy and move on,"I pipe up, earning a look from Elena and Bonnie. I let out a sigh. "But if this is an actually issue...why the change of heart, Bonnie?" Why change her mind on this? Has she met Damon too?

    "Nothing," Bonnie sighs with a dismissive wave. "it's stupid."

    "Bonnie, tell us." Elena commands.

    "I accidentally touched Stefan and now I have a really bad feeling," she quickly admits, almost incomprehensible. Ah, the whole 'I'm psychic' thing.

    Elena rolls her eyes, but she's clearly relieved it's nothing serious. "Is this that witchy mojo thing again?"

    "No," Bonnie quickly denies, knowing we wouldn't take her seriously if she said otherwise. "This is me, as a friend, being concerned."

    "But, I feel good," Elena lets out wistfully. I raise a brow at her sudden dreamy tone. "It's been a hard year and I'm finally starting feeling normal again. Stefan's a big part of that." She looks at the ground shyly. Gee thanks. I feel so special.

    We spot Stefan walking towards us with a charming smile, causing Bonnie to tense up. He greets us with, "Hey, good morning, guys." See Elena? Stefan doesn't ignore me!

    I smile back, glad to get some sort of recognition before I reply with, "Someone seems cheerful."

    "It's a nice day," he answers, not taking his eyes off Elena.

    Bonnie says some lame excuse and walks away from there thee of us, making Stefan sigh.

    "She doesn't like me." Stefan notes, causing frown lines to appear on his forehead. I stifle a laugh.

    "She will," Elena reassures with a hopeful smile. "She just doesn't know you like I do. When she does she will love you. Wait!" She exclaims, suddenly having an idea." Stefan and I both raise a brow. "Are you free tonight?"

    "Yep."

    "Perfect! Dinner. Our house. You, me, Bonnie, and Gabby. You two will spend some quality time and she will get to see what an amazing guy you are. Mission accomplished." They both smile. Great now I have to help clean the place.

    I turn around and see a football flying towards the back of Stefan's head. Before I can warn him, he spins around in his spot and easily catches it. I can't help but gape. I look over a Tyler, who's reaction matches mine. Stefan throws the ball back and when Tyler catches it he gets pushed back by, like, two feet.

    Someone's got one hell of an arm.

"WWII ended when, Miss Gilbert?" Mr. Tanner asks smugly, knowing I don't know the answer. Damn it.

    Mr. Tanner is probably the worst teacher I've had the displeasure of meeting. He's a dick, to put it simply, and because of my antics I am always one of his targets.

"Whenever it decided to end," I reply easily. Everyone chuckles. Stefan and Elena start talking while Mr. Tanner interrupts with, "Pearl Harbor ended when, other Miss Gilbert?"
