Past Meets Present (1)

Chapter 6

* Sydney's P.O.V *

I was wearing jeans and a band shirt with my hair in curls as I walked down the halls of Mystic High . I caught a few stares and glares. Isn't it amazing how people who don't even know you can automatically hate you ? Yeah , I thought so too . My face lit up when I saw Stefan walking towards me .

" Hey ." he said casually .

" Saved by the Salvatore ! " I said laughing .

Stefan chuckled .

" Don't worry . They glare at me too . " he said nicely .

I smiled .

" Outcasts . " I added , nudging his arm .

Stefan rolled his eyes .

" So , are you going to the Founder's Party at the Lockwood's ? " I asked , changing the subject .

" Yeah . Unfortunatley . " he said sighing .

" I know what you mean . Kat is making me go . " I said .

I hadn't noticed we'd walked outside and we were now sitting at a picnic table in the sun .

Then Elena walked up . We hadn't met yet , but it was kind of like a criminal offense to NOT know her name .

" Hi . Stefan , who's your friend ? " she asked in a perky tone .

" Sydney Pierce . " Stefan said .

" Pierce ? As in Katherine ? " Elena asked , sounding panicked .

" Yes , as in , Katherine's younder , smarter , better sister . " I added , getting up .

" I'll see you later , Stefan , bye . " I said .

Just then a car pulled up .

Stefan and Elena and everyone else's mouthes dropped open .

The song playing in his car was Party Like a Rockstar and  Damon turned it down .

" Hey , need a ride ? " he asked , winking .

I sighed . I knew I'd let Katherine barrow my car this morning .

" I guess I do . " I said , as I got in the passenger seat .

I had my shades on and Damon waved to a tounge-tied Stefan before driving off . I glanced in the rear-view mirror and saw EVERYONE staring at us .

Damon laughed .

" What's so funny ? " I asked .

" It's just the way everyone stares at you . " he said chuckling .

" ME ? " I asked appauled.

" Who else ? " Damon asked smirking .

" Uh .. YOU ! " I said .

" Me , but why ? " He asked innocently .

" You know why! " I said , getting annoyed .

" Do I ? " Damon asked .

I sighed .

" They stare at you because you're good looking . " I said and the blushed .

Damon chuckled .

I slapped him lightly on the shoulder .

" You just tricked me into complimenting you ! " I accused .

Damon laughed .

" Where are you takeing me ? " I asked confused .

" Here . " Damon tossed me a crupmled piece of fabric .

" I'm taking you to dinner . " he said .

I rolled my eyes .

The top to his convertible was up and I climbed in the back and changed so fast it was a blur and then I was in my seat again .

I was wearing a tight black dress and I looked down at the dress that was flowing onto the seat .

" It looks good on you . Beautiful . " Damon said , admiring me .

" You know , you didn't have to buy me a dress ... '' I said .

Damon chuckled .

" Well I wasn't going to wear it ! " he said laughing .

I rolled my eyes as he pulled in to this resturant .
