Fatal Attraction

Chapter Two:Meeting the Salvator

Dakota's POV:
After making sure that both me and Jeremy got our schedules we went our separate ways, me headed to AP Physics and Jeremy headed to Math class then Englishwith my favorite teacher. Mr.Saltzman has always been a favorite teacher of mine, he always makes sure to assign me a harder book report than the other students to test my capability of understanding the meaning of the books. I sigh knowing that I won't be having him this year since he only teaches freshman and sophmores, now I have an English teacher that would rather text their boyfriend than teach the juniors and seniors. Walking into AP Physics, I see that multiple students are already in the classroom even though the teacher isn't in here, seeing that the teacher isn't here yet I walk back out. I sit down on the floor and wait for the teacher to arrive, seeing a pair of feet standing next to me I turn and look up. "Can I help you?" I ask the golden haired boy that is standing next to me. " Oh, I was wondering where AP Physics was with Mr....." He stops for a second and looks down at his schedule, "Newman." He finishes, I simply point at the open doorway right next to me. "Oh thanks, are you in this class?" I nod, "Mr.Newman isn't here yet, a rule of the school is to never enter a classroom that the teacher is not present in." The guy just nods and walks in.
Seeing Mr.Newman walk into the classroom about three minutes to the bell, I finally get up and go sit in the back of the class. Mr.Newman introduces himself and takes roll before passing out our syllabus, I highlight the parts that I found important before I hear my sister saying my name from the doorway. I look up and raise my hand, "Mr. Newman, it seems my sister needs me for something. May I step into the hallway to see what she needs?" He nods and I stand walking to the door and exiting the classroom slightly shutting the door. When I finally take in Elena's appearance I see that she is in the cheerleading tryout uniform, "What the heck are you doing in first period?! You know that cheerleading tryouts are during the first period on the first day of school!! Caroline sent me to get you, go get your stuff and come on!" She says to me angrily. I sigh and shake my head, "Elena, I am not trying out this year. I never liked cheering-" She cuts me off before I can finish, "You have been cheering since 8th grade Dakota! Of course you like it!! Mom was a cheerleader, I am a cheerleader and so are you! Now get your stuff and lets go! You are being childish." I sigh more, "Elena, I never liked it. I only did it because mom was so excited to see us both be cheerleaders. You forced me to try out 8th grade year and I didn't want to disappoint mom. I am not doing it this year." I see her face go red right before she yells, "YOU ARE SUCH A SPOILED BRAT DAKOTA! IF YOU THINK NOT TRYING OUT 8TH GRADE YEAR WAS GONNA DISAPPOINT MOM YOU ARE WRONG. THE STUNT YOU ARE PULLING RIGHT NOW WOULD HAVE HER SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!" She walks away before I could say anything back, walking back into class Mr.Newman is already staring at me.
After a minute of him staring at me, he hands me a tissue and asks me if I would like to go to the office. I tilt my head in confusion and ask him why I would want to. "Dear, you are crying. And the whole class heard your sister yell at you." I shake my head at him, feeling my lip wobble, "C-cans I go to Mr.Saltzmans room pleases?" He nods and I run to get my bag before sprinting out of his class room and down the hall. Reaching Mr.Saltzman's room, I don't bother knocking knowing he never has a first period. Upon hearing his door slam open he looks up from his desk. Seeing it's me and that I am crying he quickly rushes forward pulling me into the classroom and shutting the door slightly. Mr.Saltsman has always been a father figure to me so I don't think anything gross when he pulls me into a hug and pets my hair asking me what was wrong. "E-elena yelled at mes because I nu wanna twy out for cheerleading dis year. She say I spoiled bwat for not trying out likes mom woulds want." Right as I finish telling him what was wrong the boy with the golden hair walks in. "Alaric, is Dakota okay? I heard Elena yell at her during first period." I see Alaric look at him and nod slightly, "She is okay, Elena was mad that Kota didn't want to tryout for cheerleading. Dakota, this is Stefan Salvator, he has an older brother named Damon who works at the Mystic Grill as the new bartender."
