<Taylor's P.O.V>

Bonnie, Elena, and I meet up in the parking lot of the school before classes start. She was just telling us about how she had a bad feeling about Stefan, but I'm only half way listening as I keep dreaming about my date on Saturday with Sam.

"Look, I'm not saying don't date the guy, I'm just saying take it slow." Bonnie argues.

"Weren't you the one telling me to go for it?" She says. "Scratch that, all of you were telling me to go for it. Why the about-face?"

"It's not an about-face." She defends. "You're just single for the first time in your entire high school career. It's the perfect time to play the field." I could tell that she was just making something up on the spot to detour Elena away from Stefan. What does she have on Stefan that the rest of us don't know?

"Oh, yes, because I'm totally that girl." Elena says sarcastically. "Come on, what are you not saying?"

"It's stupid." She looks down.

"Come on, tell me."

Bonnie huffs. "I accidentally touched Stefan."

"Ooh, scandalous." I mock, and she rolls her eyes.

"Not like that, just when I handed him your number. I got a really bad feeling."

This gets my attention as I have been having bad feelings about Stefan since the night of Vicki's attack.

"Is that it?" Elena looks confused. Bonnie rolls her eyes and starts to walk away but Elena pulls her back.

"It was bad bad!"

"Is this the whole witch mo-jo thing again?"

"You know what, I'm just concerned."

"I think you should listen to her, Elena." I step in. "I get bad vibes from Stefan, too. Like dark and twisty vibes. Somethings not right. We're just concerned. This is us showing concern about our friend's new boyfriend."

"And I love you for it." She gives Bonnie and I both hugs. "But I feel good."

As if on cue, Stefan walks up, greeting us. I fight the urge to roll my eyes at his just so perfect timing.

"I gotta go find Caroline." Bonnie says fast, and I know it's just so she can get away. "She's not answering her phone." I raise my brows knowing this isn't like her and pull out my phone to send a text to her.

"R u ok?"

I send the message just in time to hear Stefan ask Elena if Bonnie doesn't like him very much.

"She's my best friend. She's just doesn't know you and she's looking out for me." She defends. "I have an idea!"

"Oh no." I mumble already having a bad feeling about this. "Dinner, my house. 8:00. You, Bonnie, Taylor, and me. That way you all can spend some quality time together and see what a great guy you are." She emphasized all while looking at me knowing I was on Bonnie's side of this. "Mission accomplished." She looks to me with pleading eyes.

I groan. "Fine. I'll even promise to play nice and not scare your new boyfriend off." I say looking at Stefan and he lightly chuckles.

All of the sudden a football comes flying at Stefan's head and before either one of us had a chance to say 'watch out' he turns around capturing it perfectly in his hands. Our faces drop as I look over to see who the culprit was only to find my hot head of brother, Tyler. His face, along with Matt's, look dumbfounded.
