MYSTIC FALLS HIGH
"ELENA TOLD ME that Tyler threw a ball at you earlier and you miraculously caught it," Elsie informs as her and Stefan walk down the hallway a few days later. Her and Elena have made up, and she's completely past the vision she saw. "I didn't know you played football."
"I used to. It was a long time ago."
"You should try out for the team," Elsie suggests, giving him a hopeful look since their football team could use some better players. "If you're half as good as Elena made you out to be, you'll be the star player."
"I don't think so. I love football, and I think it's a great sport. But in this case, I don't think football likes me. Tyler and Matt don't seem to like me very much."
"Well, break out of the mysterious loner guy facade you put up and I'm sure they'll love you," Elsie declares, completely sure that they will. Her and Stefan have only known each other for a few days and are already great friends.
She waits for him to waver, but he doesn't budge. Eventually, she just shrugs. "Fine, Stef. If you change your mind, I'm sure I'll see you on the field."
"Why?" Stefan asks as she grins.
"I'm a cheerleader."
She tells him this as they walk into Mr.Tanner's class. Stefan takes a seat next to Elena and Elsie sits behind him. Elena looks at Elsie with the hope that she got Stefan to go out for the team. Elsie shakes her head. "He won't budge."
Mr.Tanner begins his lecture as Elena leans down and whispers to Stefan. "Psst. FYI—our team sucks. They could use you."
"Can't," Stefan whispers back, keeping his voice so low that only Elena and Elsie can hear. "I'm a loner."
The Donavan girl puts a hand over her mouth in an attempt to hold back her snickering as Mr.Tanner calls on Elena, knowing he's caught her off guard. "Miss Gilbert? Pearl Harbor?"
"Um..." Elena mumbles, racking her brain for the date and coming up with nothing.
Elsie knows the year but not the exact date, but that doesn't stop her from piping up to help her friend. "1941."
"December 7th, 1941, to be exact," Stefan answers, saving both girls.
Mr.Tanner nods, narrowing his eyes at Elsie and Stefan. "Thank you, Miss Gilbert."
"Any time," Stefan grins as the entire class laughs. This seems to trigger the teacher, which is why he decides to test the boy. The entire class watches this go down, amazed Stefan's memorized all of the dates.
"Very well. The fall of the Berlin Wall."
"1989. I'm good with dates, Sir."
"Are you? How good? Keep it to the year. Civil Rights Act."
