The Third Salvatore (TVD Season 1)

Chapter 18

Emma's pov:

Cuss me out if you think I'm a mean bitch to hope that Annabelle never returns.

I know I'm being a dick, but seriously? I'm the most straightforward teenage girl when it comes to guys and dating, so why my dating life has to be this complicated? A Vampire ex? You got to be kidding me. 

I know I should wish Hardin gets back his long lost love or whatever. I couldn't ask him why he kissed me back that day when he still loves Annabelle. He's almost two centuries old, not some high school lover boy. We can't expect him to remain virgin for this old Vampire chick who's probably dead by now, can we?

Ugh. My mind just won't stop bothering me with all this. He's probably out of the town by now. On the plane to Europe or wherever. I roll my eyes and jump out of my bed.

After showering for what felt like a month, I select my outfit and walk up to the mirror to fix myself up for school.

My eyes drop down to the beautiful necklace around my neck. I smile but unclasp the chain and put it into my trinklet box. Don't need vervain anymore, do we?

I pull out a silver chain in which I have my family ring slided as a pendent. The ring has a 'R' of Rivers.  Very dramatic. I roll my eyes but put the necklace on.

I pass by Jeremy's room while walking down. He's drawing, he hasn't done that since the accident. I decide to let him be. I run down the stairs grinning. I see Elena and Jenna getting ready to leave.

"Guys, guess what, Jer got his sketch pad out." I smile up at them.

"You’re kidding?" Jenna smiles back.

"Nope. But don’t say a word. The minute we encourage him, he’ll put it away." I tell them and fumble in my bag for my cellphone.

"Psychology major. Check that!" Jenna smirks grabbing her purse. She looks over at Elena who's frowning at her phone.

"You and Stefan? Update?" Jenna asks her.

"He knows how I feel and where I stand and I know where he stands but it doesn’t matter. He’s leaving, moving away." Elena sighs.

"Where is he going?" Jenna asks shocked. "I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary." Elena says holding the door open for us. We walk out and she shuts it behind us.

"Yours leaves, mine returns." Jenna sighs.

"Logan?" I ask amused.

"He’s back." Jenna sighs as Elena groans. "I didn’t let him pass the front door."

"I hope you slammed it in his face." Elena says.

"Ah, medium slam."

"Three strike rule, Jenna. You're not even aloud to watch the news." I say smirking.

"Exactly. No more Logan "Scum" Fell." Jenna smiles and laugh.

"Why the hell are these girls asking me about Hardin, arrghh!"

I groan after snapping at the fourth girl who asked me if Hardin's coming school today. Bonnie laughs softly beside me.

"Let's see, maybe because he only hangs out with you?" She says and I roll my eyes. "No, he doesn't."

My eyes spot Caroline and Matt talking at a distance. Bonnie follows my gaze.

"Did I miss something?" Elena asks joining us looking over at Matt and Care. She looks a little...bothered? Ah huh, is she feeling bad that Matt finally moved on?
