I know Nothing ( Book One of the Secret Series

The Assignment

Chapter 6

"Okay class", Mr. Ponzio said. He was a very short round old man who had a little hair but when I look at him all I see is a shiny bald spot. He had a very funny name too: Ponzio. I mean where in the world did that come from? From what I know he is not married and has no children of his own. He has a very large ring on his ring finger but I have never asked about it. "We will be having a very important paper due at the end of this semester.", he continued, " In this paper you will need to include your family's background history. If you fail to do so,you will get to join me this summer and a pile of work. Do we all understand?" " Yes!" , all the kids in my History class said. " Okay, the rubrics will be going around if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me."

Ring, Ring, Ring!

Leaving school was like the wind picking you up and taking you somewhere else. Happiness. Happiness for there being no more school for the rest of day.

At my locker I got what I needed and then shut the blue metal door. Blue is the color at Greenville High. As every student must say go Greenville Guardians! But as I shut the door Damon- the man mother AND father did not want me talking to- was there. Smiling at me with that handsome sexy smile of his. I jumped back startled and then he spoke. " Hello. Sorry for...um... scaring you." " No it is fine. I just was'nt expecting you, thats all." ,Elena knew she should'nt be speaking to him but did so anyways. Then again mother's question had been unanswered, so there was no rule against talking to Damon. "That is quite some paper we have to write in Mr. Ponzio's class isn't it?" "Yeah. I am not looking foward to it because I don't know to much about my family history.", Elena said. " Well I can help you. I mean with the reaserch. We can study together sometime." , he said to Elena. " How can you help me? You probably don't even know anything about my family." , Elena said forcefully. " Trust me Elena I know much more about your family and you than you think I do.", he said this so weirdly Elena thought he was kidding. Normally this kind of talk would have freaked Elena out but something about him just calmed her. " Okay?", Elena said with hesatation. "Would you like me to walk you home? We can talk about a time we can study together?", Damon said. " I have a couple of things I need to do after school.", Elena said as truthfully as she could eventhough it was a lie" but tomorrow you can." " Okay Elena, sounds good.", he said casually. Then walked away before heading out to the beautiful warm sunny parking lot.

When Elena got home she went into her bedroom. Many things had happened to her today. First, she found out that she had to write a paper about her family. Second, Damon had wanted to walk her home. And third, Damon knew more about her family than she did.

All Elena knew was she had an assignment due at the end of the semester, that the bad boy Damon Elliott would be helping her with.
