        Bonnie invited me to hang out with her and Care at the Grill, so I agreed and that's were I'm on my way to now. It turns out I have 4 classes with Elena, 3 with Stefan, 5 with Bonnie, and 2 with Care. I was so lucky in the friend department. I arrived at the same time Bonnie and Caroline entered the Grill, so I caught up with them and listened in on what Caroline was saying.
"His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with his uncle up at the old Salvatore Boarding House. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He is a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue." She concluded proudly.
"You got all that in one day?" Bonnie asked genuinely surprised.
"Oh please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We are planning a June wedding" She waved her skills off.
"Actually Caroline, you were misinformed. He is a Scorpio, born November 5th, and his favorite color is actually red." I corrected her. She just waved me off like it wasn't a big deal.
"Whatever." She continued walking over to Matt, and Bonnie and I followed. I sat next to Matt and Bonnie and Care were on the other side.

"How's Elena doing?" Matt brought up, kind of out of the blue. Bonnie gave him a small shrug.
"Her mom and dad died. How do you think? She's putting on a good face, but it's only been four months." She said. I nodded, agreeing with her.
"Has she said anything about me?" He leans in a little and asks. I roll my eyes and shake my head.
"Oh no. So not getting in the middle. You pick up the phone and call her." Bonnie scolded Matt, and leaned back in her chair.
"I feel weird calling her. She broke up with me." He let his head fall and I saw Bonnie looking sympathetic.
"Just give her more time." She reached across and rubbed his arm. As soon as Bonnie said that, Elena walks through the door, with Stefan following her. Matt gives us an annoyed look and stands up.
"More time, huh?" He walks over to the two of them and greets Stefan, introducing themselves and gives Elena an awkward 'Hey'. When they came back, the seating arrangements were changed. Matt, Bonnie and Elena sat on one side, and Caroline, Stefan and I sat on the other. I giggled at how close Caroline was to Stefan and whispered quietly to him.
"Caroline's got a little crush." I smiled and he shoved me lightly, smiling as well.
"So you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked, resting her elbows against the table and crossed her hands.
"Mhmm. and moved while I was still young." Stefan nodded.
"Parents?" Bonnie spoke.
"My parents passed away." He answered. I began taking a drink, not wanting to ask anything, mostly because I already knew the answer. Why didn't I get bombarded with questions like this from friends. Is it just cause he and Elena are like... a thing now?
"I'm sorry. Any siblings?" Elena asked, and I started to choke on my drink, thinking of that asshat Damon. Stefan kicked my legs and I calmed down, although everyone was still looking at me.
"Sorry, I drank to fast, and it went down the wrong pipe." I smiled innocently as Stefan continued.
"None that I talk to. I live with my uncle." He explained. Caroline finally spoke up after a long silence with her.
"So, Stefan, if you're new, then you don't know about the party tomorrow." She smirked.
"It's a back to school thing at the Falls." Bonnie shrugged.
"If I have to go, you have to go." I mumbled under my breath. Stefan turned to Elena.
"Are you going." He asked, staring. Bonnie and I shared a look and smiled.
"Of course she is." She and I said in unison. What is weird is that Bonnie and I have connected the most, even though I met Caroline first, and saved Elena, I love Bonnie.

It's the next day and I'm in Mr. Tanner's class. He is not only the single most boring teacher I've had in my entire life, but also an ass. I slumped forward in my seat and let my cheek rest against my hand as I tried not to fall asleep.
"The Battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?" Mr. Tanner asked, making Bonnie stop what she was doing and look up at him.
"Um... a Lot? I', not sure. Like, a whole lot." She nods her head as if she knows what she is talking about. I stifle a giggle and shake my head at her.
"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" He turns his attention form a slightly embarrassed Bonnie to Matt the jock. He smiles and shakes his head.
"It's okay, Mr. Tanner. I'm cool with it." Matt replies. Tanner's eyes wander around the room before they land on Elena, who was at the moment making googly eyes at Stefan.
"Hmm. Elena?" He caught he attention and she snapped her head to where Tanner was standing. "Surely you could enlighten us about one of the towns significantly historical events?" He gave her a fake smile, and leaned against his desk, waiting.
"I'm sorry. I- I don't know." She slowly shook her head.
"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break." He stated. Wow what a dick! Her parents died four months ago you pretentious douche!
"There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local civilians." Stefan spoke with confidence. Obviously having enough of this dickbag's attitude. Tanner looked impressed though.
"That's correct. Mr...?" Tanner asked.
"Salvatore." He answered.
"Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" Tanner asked. Stefan nodded.
"Distant." Was all he answered with. I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." Tanner turned and was about to continue the lesson but I interrupted before he could start.
"Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall, if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." I informed him and smiled politely, even though I really just wanted to smack him for what he said to Elena. The class 'Oooh'd and some laughed.
"Hmm." Was all Tanner said as he looked at me in suspicion. I raised my eyebrow, and he continued the lesson till the bell rang. It felt really good to politely back talk a teacher. Rebellious even. I smiled and walked out of class next to Bonnie who was praising me for how I schooled Tanner, and we made our way to math together.
