The little Gilbert [1]

Chapter 4: Cheer Practice

Gianna's POV

I woke up to Jeremy's arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I wiggled myself out of his grip and kissed his cheek before going back to my room to get changed.

I dressed in a simple black romper with a gold zipper down the front and threw on my black and gold high tops. I tied my hair into a high ponytail and then made my way downstairs.

"Bye Aunt Jenna." I called out grabbing my bag and beginning my walk to school.

I rushed into Mr.Tanners class just as the bell went off.

"Mrs.Gilbert?" Tanner questioned looking at me as I handed him the transcript.

"Alright. Everyone this is Gianna Gilbert she'll be in the class. Gianna take a seat next to Elena." Tanner said bored as he continued teaching. That's the thing. All my classes are advanced so they moved me up to Elena's grade. So now I'm that freaky freshman in a juniors History, Math, English, and Science classes.

I sat behind Elena as she turned to me with the biggest smile on her face.

"You got in?!" She said excitedly. Over the last two summers I've been doing extra work and tests to get into eleventh grade classes. I kinda lost my way a bit after my parents died but the school understood.

"Yup." I smirked as she turned to Stefan who sat on the other side of her.

"Pst. Our team sucks they could use you." She said as he shook his head no.

"Can't. I'm a loner." Stefan smirked. He never really smiled does he?

"Miss.Gilbert?" Tanner asked Elena as Stefan answered.

"December 7, 1941." I smiled. How cute Lena found herself a new boyfriend.

"Thank you. Miss.Gilbert." Tanner said as a few giggles were heard around the room.

"Anytime." Stefan said playing his black ballpoint pen.

"The fall of the Berlin Wall?" I knew this so why not answer give Tanner a run for his money.

"1989." He looked at me as Stefan looked at me and simply shook his head.

"Alright you to think your smarter then a history teacher. Keep it to the year. Civil rights act."

"1964."

"John F. Kennedy assassination?"

"1963."

"Martin Luther King."

"'68"

"Lincoln?"

"1865"

"Roe vs. Wade?"

"1973"

"Brown vs. board."

"1954"

"The battle of Gettysburg."

"1863."

"Korean war?"

"1950 to 1953."

"Ha. It ended in 52." He laughed in my face as Stefan spoke up next.

"Actually sir it was 53." He spoke softly as if he was trying not to crush Mr.Tanners dreams.

"Somebody look it up!" Tanner bellowed as a kid next to me pull of his phone.

"It was...53 Gianna's right." He said High-fiving me. Just then the bell rung and I walked out of the classroom.

"How did you two know all of that?" Elena laughed.

"Years and Years of crossword puzzles." Stefan said as I spoke next.

"I've always loved history. And unlike you Elena I actually pay attention." I laughed as she hit my arm.

••••••

Elena and I walked up to Bonnie in cheer clothes as she flipped out.

"Oh my god your here!" She screamed jumping up and pulling us into a hug.

"Yup. I can't be sad girl forever." Elena said whilst I just worked on the routine. Unlike her I actually went to the summer program. I hated it and didn't participate most of the time but I went to make mom proud.

"The only way to get back to the way things were are to do things that were." She said as she went into a right lunge, whilst I practiced my back tucks.

"By the way your coming to dinner to tonight. So are you Gianna." Elena said as I went into my right split.

"I am?" Bonnie laughed obviously not having a choice in the matter, much like me.

"Uh-huh. You and Me and Gianna and Stefan." Elena said as Bonnie's smile faded almost as quickly as it came.

"You have give him a change." Elena said giving Bonnie a glare.

"But tonight's no good. Have you seen Caroline I've texted her like s hundred times." She said changing he subject as Elena smiled.

"Don't change the subject Bonnie Bennett." Elena laughed

"You are coming!" Elena laughed. As she then got serious.

"Seriously where is Caroline?"

"I don't know it's not like her." Elena sighed as Bonnie pulled it her phone.

"I'll try her again." She said.

"No need I think I already found her." I said as she stepped out of the baby blue 1963 Chevy Camaro convertible. but not before sucking the guys face off.

"Caroline get your ass over here!" I screamed probably ruining the moment as Lena hit my arm laughing.

"Hope you don't mind I got the other brother." She said to Lena.

"Really another Salvatore?" I laughed.

"Let's start with s double pike Herky hurdler" Said as we got into our lines.

"Elena sweetie why don't you observe for today?" Caroline suggested as Elena rolled her eyes but obeyed before wandering off I go find Stefan.

General POV

After practice Gianna, Bonnie, and Elena all left to go get ready for the oh so fun diner that was fastly approaching.
