Elena's POV
"What's on your mind, E?" Bonnie ask's as I look up. "Oh, um, I don't know. I guess I'm just kinda nervous.." She stops in her tracks, turning around. "Elena, what happened to you, will never, and I mean never happen again. No one should go through what you went through." She comments as I nod, tears filling my brown eyes. "Okay." I murmur, looking down and clearing my throat.
We walk into the party. I can smell the alcohol in the air as I look up and see Caroline grabbing drink with Tyler Lockwood. I scoff as I look around for Bonnie. Suddenly, I feel someone touch my shoulder. Im so tense it causes me to jump up. I turn around to see Bonnie. I sigh in relief, letting out a little laugh.
"Hey, Bon." I say with a shaky breath as she's handing me a drink. "Here girl. You seem like you need it." I laugh and take a sip of it. I'm not sure what it was but, it was strong. I make a sour face and coughed as she laughs at me.
I look up at her as she's smiling. "What?" I ask with confusion. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that hottie over there is eyeing you down." She says as I shake my head, looking down. "No, Bonnie." I say. "Yes, Elena."
She starts gently pushing me towards. "No, no, no. Bonnie, I can't. I can't go over there, please." I comment, tears threatening to fill my eyes. "It's alright, Elena. You will be fine. Please, give it a shot.. for me?" She says. I'm hesitant. "Okay.." I say as she squeals. "Perfect!" She says jumping up and down.
I walk over to the brunette guy, who was indeed, staring at me. He runs his fingers through his hair. "Hi." I say shyly as he smiles. "Hey." He replies. I look up and say "Um, I'm sorry, let me just go back to my friend-" I turn around to leave as he grabs my arms gently telling me to wait.
"Wait, wait, wait. My name's Stefan." He says as I look up at him, smiling. He gives me butterflies even though I just met him. "Um, I'm Elena." I say as he smiles at me. He smiles, like, a lot. "Why are you so nervous, Elena?" He asks as my eyes widen.
"Um, I- I just-" I stutter as he laughs a bit. "Okay. Relax. You obviously have something going in your head." I let out a nervous laugh as I look down. "No, it's just that you're very good looking and- never mind." I shut up before embarrassing myself even more. "If it makes you feel any better, I think you're also very good looking."
I blush. "Sorry. I know I seem like a total klutz right now." I look down, moving a strand of my hair behind my ear. He laughs. "No, no. Its cute." I look up at him, blushing again while biting back a smile. "Are you okay though? I saw how uncomfortable you looked from the second you walked in?" He asks and I sigh.
"I- I just have bad history with parties, is all." I say, wrapping my arms around my stomach. "How about we trade numbers and we can hang out sometime?" Stefan asks. I look up at him, contemplating whether or not I should give him my number.
"You know what? I will give it to you." I say because I suddenly had a wave of confidence to do so. God, I'm nervous. He hands me his phone as I start putting my number in it. "How do I know it's not a fake?" He asks. "You'll just have to find out, Stefan." I say, smirking. I wave to him as I'm making my way towards Bonnie.
"Well, how did it go?" She says with excitement in her voice. "It went good.." I say as her eyes widen. "Did you trade numbers?" She asks jumping up and down. I nod as she squeals. "Omg! Elena is getting a new boyfriend!"
"We're just friends, Bon. I barely even know him." I say in a reassuring tone. "Yeah, sure." She sneers while smirking. I roll my eyes and laugh, grabbing another drink.
