Elena woke up alone in the bed and stretched her arms above her head. She got up and went into the bathroom brushing her teeth and got dressed. When she came out Kol was standing there with a cup of coffee in his outstretched hand. He always seemed to know what she needed before she even knew she needed it. Just looking at him made her smile behind the coffee cup.
"What are you thinking about love?" Kol asked after he noticed her trying to hide her smile behind the cup.
"How you seem to know what I need before I do" she said.
"Because I'm good" he chuckled.
"That you are...oh shoot I got to go otherwise I'm going to be late!" she said as she noticed the time. Elena quickly set down the coffee cup, grabbed her book bag and gave a quick kiss to Kol and headed out the bedroom door. By the time she had gotten outside Kol was already there, well that explains why I felt a quick breeze coming down the stairs she thought.
"I'll see you after school..hey you need this" he said getting her phone charger from his car, and handing it too her.
"Thank you" she said as she took it and got in her car.
Kol watched her drive away, before heading back inside when his phone buzzed.
I love you
I love you too...you better not be texting and driving
I'm not, I pulled over...ok now no more texting. talk to you later xxooxx
"I can't believe you did that" Caroline said to Bonnie.
"Can't believe what..what did I miss?" Elena said looking at her two friends.
"Remember Tristen the pizza guy? Well Bonnie hexed him or whatever it is she does" Caroline said as Elena stood there not sure what to say.
"Discovered he has a girlfriend where he goes to college so I did a spell where he'll probably have erectile dysfunction for awhile" Bonnie said with a smile making Caroline go red in the face and Elena burst out laughing.
"Come on so we aren't late for class" Elena said smiling.
By lunch time all three girls couldn't wait for the day to be over, the last few weeks of school seemed to just drag on. After the bell rang letting them out of their last class of the day, they headed to their lockers thankful the school day was over.
"I'll catch up with guys later, last minute details for the dance next weekend and you know me..." Caroline trailed off.
"Everything has to be perfect" all three said in unison, then Caroline walked off in search of some of the dance committee.
"Speaking of the dance, have you asked Kol yet?" Bonnie asked.
"I'm going to tonight, how about you? Anyone you going with since...well" Elena asked.
"I was thinking of maybe asking Stefan...I know he's your ex and all, but I would be asking only as a friend" Bonnie explained.
"Bonnie, it's fine. I hope he says yes" Elena said smiling.
"Come on, let's get out of here" Bonnie said as they headed down the hall.
Once outside they walked towards the parking lot talking about the upcoming dance and what they would be wearing when Elena's phone rang.
"See you tomorrow Elena" Bonnie called out before she got in her car.
"Bye" Elena said, then answered her phone, smiling to see from the caller ID it was Kol.
"You know what I am looking at right now?" he said.
"What are you looking at?" she asked as she unlocked her car.
"You. Turn around" Kol said with a smirk, hanging up.
"Are you trying to flatter me?" she asked grinning at him as he walked closer.
"Is it working?" he asked as he leaned forward and kissed her gently.
"Maybe" she said wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a quick kiss.
"Hmmm...guess I'll have to try harder" he whispered as he drew her up against his body and went to kiss her again.
"Get a room" said the sarcastic voice behind Elena, making them turn to look at him.
"Damon, what a pleasant surprise" Kol said equally sarcastic.
"What are you doing here?" Elena asked.
"I'm looking for my brother...have you seen him? Oh never mind there he is" Damon said then walked off.
"Well that was interesting, I'll see you at the house love" Kol said as he waited for Elena to get in her car to shut the door.
On the way home Elena had thought the brief encounter with Damon was slightly strange. He never seeked Stefan out before at school or her for that matter, she hoped he wasn't up to something and trying to get Stefan involved. She shook her head and remembered she needed to ask Kol if he wanted to go to her school dance, granted he would turn a few heads. She hadn't missed how other girls looked at him.
Kol found Damon's behaviour weird, he only hoped he hadn't found out about Tyler before Elena could tell him herself. He decided he would ask her once they got home if she planned on telling the Salvatore brothers about Tyler's demise.
"What are you doing here Damon?" Stefan asked warily.
"Always so suspicious brother, just stopped by to see if you wanted to grab a drink later" Damon said with and innocent look on his face.
"Damon cut the crap, you have never stopped here to see me. So let me ask you again what are you doing here?" Stefan said slightly annoyed at his older brother.
"You think you know me so well...I do want to have drinks later" Damon smirked.
"Fine what time should I meet you there?" Stefan asked.
"Six. Now I will leave you to whatever it is you're doing" Damon said, then turned around and left.
Stefan watched as his brother left, he knew Damon was up to something. He just had to wait until Damon had a few drinks in him and he would lay out whatever hair-brained scheme was roaming around in his head and as usual he would have to be the voice of reason.
