And he tasted blood on his lips.

History. It was Felix's least favourite class, he wasn't good at it nor was he bad at it, but it was just boring as hell. This was probably their fifth year learning about American history and at least their third focusing solely on the history of their home state of Virginia. 'Yeah, we get it Virginia was one of the original 13 colonies. No one cares'  Felix thought grimly as he took a seat near the back of the class, his head still pounding as the other student began to putter in. Every now and then a few kids would greet him and Felix would be forced to play nice. 

Elena and Bonnie came in soon after both flashing him a wide smile. Bonnie sitting diagonally from him and Elena directly in front. Then entered the new kid. For some reason it reminded Felix of some teen show, the whole class got silent and just kind of stared at him, and he stared at... Elena. It was a little unsettling if Felix was being honest, but it seemed like Elena was into it so what did he know. Maybe he just didn't understand girls.

"You can take the seat next to Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Salvatore," their history teacher said, Felix had already forgotten his name. Salvatore, that name sounds familiar, Felix though distantly as he watched the teen take the seat next to him. Salvatore flashed Felix a wide, charming smile, to which Felix forced back one of his well-practiced ones before looking away and back at the teacher. 

"Once our home state of Virginia joined the confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state," the history teacher began. Yeah, no shit it created tension, Felix thought, rolling his eyes slightly at the lecture. It all seemed a bit basic for an eleventh-grade history class. So, instead of paying attention Felix started to look around at all his classmates. Matt was staring longly at Elena, and while Elena had made eye contact with him it seemed as though she was ignoring the heartbroken teen. Then Elena began to try and look subtly at the new kid, keyword being tried, he looked over at her and she grinned and blushed like a seventh-grader. Bonnie also seemed to take notice of this amusing interaction and had "secretly" pulled out her phone to start texting Elena. 

This really is a TV show Felix decided, but it now seemed as though anyone could get away with having their phones out, so out of boredom Felix pulled out his and began playing Tetris for the rest of the class, taking note of the fact that it seemed the Salvatore kid had been staring at Elena for the whole class. Creepy.

After a painful hour of the teacher never shutting up, the class was finally over. "Hey I'm Stefan," a voice said from right behind Felix, the young teen had been grabbing his backpack, his back turned to the speaker. 

"Nice to meet ya, Stefan. Felix Rhodes," he said sticking out his hand for the other man to shake, happy to finally put a first name to the mysterious newcomer. Felix probably should have been expecting the shock and sudden darkness that came when he touched the other boy's hand, but he wasn't so when the darkness descended so did the fear.
