[Elena's P.O.V]
The wind was low, but just enough air to give me a little chill. I put my hair behind my ear because I hated my hair in my face. Stefan looked at me, his hazel green eyes, looking right through me as if I had something to hide. "So.. What did you wanna walk for?" I asked.

"I've never been new before, but I can guess what it's like. I wouldn't want that feeling." He was sweet, charming almost. Caroline was lucky she found such a nice boy.

"Thanks." I gave him a slight smile and turned my face making it harder for him to see the expression on my face.

"Do you like Caroline? I know she can be really friendly sometimes." He looked ahead with a faraway gaze.

"I think she's sweet. Are you bad mouthing your girlfriend?" Laughing, small but still laughing. A smile, appeared on his face.

"No, I love her." Kicked. Kicked in the gut, what's going on with me. It's Caroline's boyfriend Elena, Car-o-lines. Did I really have to spell it out for me to understand it. — paused, frozen. Just say something Elena anything! He's gonna see right through you, he's gonna know the thoughts you have of him!

"Do you like any of your classes?" Finally he broke the awkward silence.

"Yes and no. I like math a lot, I was always really good at it. Until I came here and now I'm.. Uh not." my mom would always tutor me at home, before tests. She would have this study box. It was wife with black flowers and pink gems tracing the outline of the cover. Inside was plain white with flash cards, pens pencils, erasers and lastly work sheets she made for me in my spare time. Everything I talk about I can just relate to memories with my parents. I missed them so much.

"I'm pretty good at math I'm getting straight C's." He said this with a fake proud smile. We both just stood there and laughed.

"I bet your mom is very proud of you." He just looked distant from this comment, like I had told a child his cat ran away. He was looking away. He froze, stopped walking. I must of struck an emotional trigger.

"Um, my mom passed." He told me and my heart sank. Oh my god I'm such a bad person.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." An apologetic tone in my voice as I spoke.

"It's okay how would you have known." He brushed it off, how? With my parents someone made a joke about them I would have hidden in the trees and cried for hours.

"My parents passed, I get it." I haven't said that out loud in 2 year not once since the funeral, everyone just knew already I didn't feel the need to tell anyone. I couldn't, it hurt to admit it.

"Wow, if you ever wanna talk—" I cut him off gosh I'm so rude.

"That's okay, I mean I have Caroline." I knew there was a part of me that wanted to say 'yes talking to you often would be just great'. But I knew that I shouldn't.

"I know, but someone who understands." He understood, that felt nice to know.

"Thanks." I was blushing, blood rushing to my cheeks. Why was I blushing?! I had to leave him before I kept feeling like this.

[Stefan's P.O.V]
I felt a connection, we had many things in common. That intimidated me, I didn't want to feel like this, like there is something else I wanna do, not just talk with Elena. I couldn't really look at her, if I did I was afraid more of this feeling would come, and I didn't like that. Being with Caroline was fun, easy and light. I couldn't really explain with Elena. I can't think like this, Caroline has always been there for me, Elena will pass.

"I gotta go, Caroline texted." Without even giving me a chance to say goodbye, boom she was gone. I walked her walk away, she had great posture, as she walked you could see the slight wave of her hair. It almost looked 'sassy' but Elena didn't seem like that girl, she wasn't that girl. I saw her walk straight to Caroline, I wanted to see Caroline. I wanted to feel what I felt when I first met her, I wanna know its worth it. It sucks to know that all of this confusion was just seeing a pretty face walk in the door today. One day was all it took. I was done feeling this funk, I refused to let it take over, I walked right up to Caroline with speed and anticipation, what's even better about this is Elena was right there and if I felt anything other than thoughts of her beauty I would know so I kissed Caroline. Very passionately if I may say. I could feel a grin appear on her lips.

"What was that for?" She asked me, like I needed a reason to kiss my girlfriend.

"Making up for today, it's been a while." I could see how I made her happy. That's the feeling I wanted to feel.

"I love you." She told me this, and I could feel my heart shake, an unfamiliar feeling. Unable to figure out what type of feeling this was. I'm not even going to waste my time thinking about it.
