1st Class

Third Person POV

Elena sat at her desk, pencil in hand, her eyes set firmly on her History teacher, Mr Tanner, as he continued to school them.

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep-south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union."

Her mind, however, kept returning to the obnoxious boy she had bumped into in the corridor previously, he seemed to think the world should just fall to their knees and bow before him. Elena would never degrade herself to such a level. She turned her head right to look at her boyfriend, Stefan, hoping to dispel the angering thoughts, but found no such luck and he returned her gaze and smiled, to which she reciprocated the expression. She looked back towards her teacher, trying her best to concentrate when her phone vibrated in her lap.

'HAWT-E. STARING @ U.' Her best friend, Bonnie, texted her.

Elena looked around the class, finding no one looking at her but Bonnie and the man on her mind, the dark haired boy from the hallway was indeed staring at her, a puzzled expression on his face yet his eyes lit up as her own met his, clearly glad at her attention. Elena visibly frowned, not bothering to hide her displeasure, and looked away.

Kol continued to stare at the olive skinned brunette, whom he'd found himself intrigued by, not because he wished to bed her but because she was rude to him, no one was ever rude to him. He'd found himself dumbfounded by her. His spirits had lifted when she had met his gaze, thinking maybe it'd make it easier to understand her and perhaps his confusion had been sated, when she'd frowned in his direction, he'd decided she was just a bitch or maybe it was her time of the months? He finally looked at the teacher and his mind didn't stray to the girl again.
