Chapter Three - 1953

Song - Never say Never by The Fray

I was at school with Noel. We were just there kissing, embracing each other. I felt guilty. Last night I didn't go as far as losing my virginity and he respected that I didn't want to. That's what made me feel guilty he was so sweet to me and cared about me and I was only using him to get over Stefan. This is what love does to people. We pulled away and I smiled at him. I looked over his shoulder and saw Stefan staring at us. He looked hurt and guilty. I shook it off and looked back at Noel.

" You're coming to practice right " he asked. I nodded and pecked his lips.

" Of course " the bell rang signal first period. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before pecking my lips once more and walking to class. I met eyes with Stefan once more. I looked away and walked to class.

I was sitting in history when Mr Tanner asked when World War II ended. No one put there hand up. Seriously a seventh grader could answer that. I looked over and saw Bonnie's notebook had the numbers 8,14,22 written all over it. Elena and Stefan were whispering about our football team. She was right they do suck. Mr Tanner noticed there whispering.

" Miss Gilbert. Pearl Harbour?" He asked. Her face fell as she didn't know the answer.

" December 7th 1941." And again Stefan saves the day.

" Thank you Miss Gilbert " He emphasised. The class chuckled. I saw Matt was definitely not enjoying this.

" The Fall of the Berlin Wall " Mr Tanner challenged.

" 1989 " Stefan responses immediately. "I'm good with dates " And the challenge begun.

" Civil Rights act "

" 1964 "

" John F. Kennedy Assassination "

" 1963 "

" Martin Luther King "

" 68 "

" Lincoln "

" 1865 "

" Roe Vs. Wade " Stefan hesitated so I answered for him.

" 1973 " I may be hurt but I can't pass at the opportunity to humiliate Tanner.
We took it in turns to answer questions.

" Brown Vs. Board "

" 1954 "

" The battle of Gettysburg "

" 1863 "

" Korean War "

" 1950 to 1953 "

" Ha it ended in 52 " Tanner was right in his face. Tanner walked away quite happy with himself.

" Actually sir. It was 53 " I confirmed. Tanner grew angry as I just smirked and continued drawing.

" Look it up somebody " He ordered as the whole classes took out there phones and searched.

" It was 19.." Some boy from the front row called out as everyone stared eagerly awaiting an answer. " 53 " and the Mr Tanner's hate for Stefan and I begun. The bell rang for next period. I gathered my stuff and crouched next to Stefan.

" Don't think this makes us friends " I told him and walked out. I was at my locker that happened to be next to Elena's and where Elena goes Stefan goes. I heard them talk about extracurriculars so think. An arm snaked army waist and someone pecked my lips.

" Hi " he smiled and I pecked his lips again.

" Hi " I replied. I felt Stefan and Elena's eyes on me but I ignored them.
