( Outfit for dinner)

Me and Elena watched Stefan. I had a smile on my face. He was really good. I could tell he impressed Matt but Tyler still looked jealous and unsure.

" You know you shouldn't do cheerleading because Bonnie told you or you feel like you have too. I can tell your not comfortable doing it." I turned to Elena. She put her head down.

" I know it's just I feel like I'm letting everyone down if I can't be the same Elena I was before, you know." I hummed.

" You need to stop thinking about everyone else. Do what makes you happy not any one else." I told her turning back to watch Stefan. She walked back to where they were training.

The play started and I followed a running Stefan. I see Tyler heading his way. The QB threw the ball and Stefan jumped to get it only to be tackled hard by Tyler.

I cringed. I then saw Matt walk up to him sticking his hand out to help Stefan while mumbling something. Stefan looked up at me and I gave him a comforting smile and mouthed you got this. He smiled back and ran back to his team. I turned and walked away to the girls.

" Oh come on Bonnie we all know that commercial is on a constant loop." I told her while mixing the spaghetti and pasta sauce together while Elena was turning the the salad. Yes I can cook.

" Fine, well how about this! I'm obsessed with numbers, three numbers 8, 14 and 22. How weird is that?" Bonnie pointed out. I turned away from the pasta and pointed at Bonnie with the spoon.

" Maybe we should play the lottery." I told her with a smug grin on my face. She gave me a look and I put my hands up in mock surrender.

" Just sayin. Maybe we'll win." I said turning back to the pasta and putting it in a bowl.

" Have you talked to your grams?" Elena questioned.

" She's just gonna it's because I'm a witch. I don't want to be a witch. Do you guys want to be a witch?" Bonnie asked as I brought the bowl to the table. I turned to her and nodded.

" I would love to be a witch." " I don't want to be witch." Me and Elena said together. Both girls giving me a pointed look. I shrugged.

" What? You can't tell me you don't want to have powers? As long as i'm not green and my face has warts. I'm good." I said causing both girls to laugh.

" Elena get the serving spoons." I asked and she nodded looking for them.

" Middle drawer on your left." Bonnie said pointing to it. Me and Elena looked at her funny. Elena opened the drawer and pulled out the spoons.

" Okay so you've been in the kitchen a thousand times." Elena said simply. I rolled my eyes.

" Yea that's it." Bonnie and I said together giving my sister a look as the door bell rang.

" Okay he's here." I said turning to Bonnie. " Just be you please and give him a shot. For me please?" I spoke giving her a pout.

" Finee." She said. I walked to the door and opened it letting him in.

" Well hello there handsome." I said taking his jacket and hanging it up.

" Hello there gorgeous." I went on my tippy toes and kissed his cheek. I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the table.

I was quite and awkward and me being me I had to break the ice.

" Bonnie tell Stefan about the background of your witchy mojo." I told her while stabbing my fork with the pasta. She looked hesitant but I have a reassuring nod.

" Bonnie's family has a lineage of witch's. It's really cool." I said to Stefan making his turn his head to me and he gave him a look. I just shrugged.

" Cool isn't the word i'd use." Bonnie stated. I turned to her.

" Yes it is and you know that. Remember for me please?" I told her pouting again. She breathed out and nodded.

" It's certainly interesting. Tell me more." Stefan said trying to work with Bonnie.

" My family came by way of Salem." Bonnie spoke. Stefan looked fascinated.

" Really? Salem witches?" He asked. Bonnie nodded and gave a tiny smile.

" Yea." Bonnie said looking down at her food.

" That is pretty cool." Stefan said turning to me and smiled. I smiled back.

" Really why?" Bonnie asked Stefan.

" Salem witches are heroic examples of individualism, their non-conformity." Stefan explained to Bonnie. Bonnie smiled bigger. He was on her good side now.

" Yeah, they are." Bonnie said back.

Ding-Dong

I got up and walked to door knowing who exactly it is. I smiled but it dropped when I noticed she wasn't alone.

" Surprise! Bonnie said you were doing dinner so we brought desert." Caroline said holding up a cake. I smiled at her.

" Hope you don't mind." Damon said. I looked at him and glared. He smirked. Caroline walked in handing me the cake.

" What are you doing here?" Stefan asked his older brother walking to the door.

" Waiting for Elena or Aliza to invite me in." Damon said.

" Oh yea you can-" But me and Stefan cut her off.

" No no no no, I-I have to speak with him quickly." I said looking at the girls not minding the looks I was given. " Stefan too. Come on." I quickly grabbed Stefan's and and dragged him outside pushing Damon to the side. I closed the door careful not to lock us out.

" I told you to not hurt her." I said looking at Damon. He smirked.

" Exactly you said hurt her. As you can see she's perfectly fine." He said smugly.

" That scarf around her neck says differently." I pointed out making him drop his smirk.

" Maybe she's just cold." He said. I slapped his head.

" Damon no more games if it means hurting the people I... somewhat care about." I said looking him dead in the eye making him nod quickly. I smiled innocently and turned to Stefan sticking my hand out.

" Shall we Mr.Loner." He smiled and took my hand.

" We shall." We walked in together forgetting about Damon.

" Uh guys. Can I come in now?" He called from outside.

" Oh yea, come in." I said before grabbing Stefan's hand again and dragging him to the couch.

" You have a beautiful home Elena, little flare." Damon said sending Elena a smile. I rolled my eyes.

" Uhh thank you." Elena said a little taken back by Damon's looks. Then she looked confused.

" Wait you guys know each other? I thought you guys only like saw each other." Elena asked me.

" Yea we know each other. He's my boyfriend's brother. I have to tolerate him whether I like him or not. But we hit it off perfectly didn't we Dames?" I said giving him a innocent smile.

" Sure did little flare." He said sitting on the chair next to the couch leaning back allowing Caroline to sit on his lap.

" What's with the nicknames?" Caroline asked looking between me and Damon.

" She's my bestie now. It's only right we have nicknames." Damon said making me nodded.

" Amen to that! We can't be best friends if we don't have nicknames." I told them.

" Anyways, I can't believe Mr.Tanner let you on the team. Tyler must be seething. But, good for you, go for it." Caroline said putting her cup down on the coffee table. I looked at Stefan with a bored look and he just kissed my nose making me giggle.

" That's what I always tell him. You have to engage. You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to go get it." Damon said looking to his brother. I stuck up my middle finger at him and under my breath I said bull shit. He rolled his eyes.

" Elena wasn't so lucky today. It's only because you missed summer camp." Caroline said making me snap my head at her.

" I'll work with her. She'll get it." Bonnie said. I nodded at her.

" Me too. I may not be on the team now but we all know I was better than you when I was." I told her harshly making Elena and Bonnie choke on her tea while Caroline just looked at me.

" What? I'm being for real." I told the 2 boys who looked at me shocked.

" I thought you only wrote songs." Stefan asked.

" I do, now. I use to be on the cheerleading team but this year I wasn't comfortable doing it anymore so I stuck with my music." I told him placing my head on his shoulder. I felt him nod.

" You Gilbert's don't seem like the cheerleading type." Damon pointed out looking between us. Elena gave him a smile.

" Yea well not everyone is really how they seem Dames." I told him. He frowned a little. Those words hit him harder then I meant them to.

" Yea but it's just because their parents died. Elena's the one that's going through a blah faze. She use to be way more fun." Everyone gave her a look. " I say that with complete sensitivity." She added.

" Caroline shut up before I drag you off of Damon's lap and beat you right here on this coffee table." I said making her shrink back into Damon and nodded quickly.

" Good." I said leaning back into Stefan more as he put his arm around me.

" I'm sorry Elena. I know what it's like to lose
both your parents. In fact Stefan and I i've watched almost every single person we ever cared about die." Damon said. I'm going to kill him.

" You don't need to-to, you gonna do that right now Damon." Stefan stuttered over his words. I sat up and grabbed his hand. He squeezed it and I kissed the back of it.

" You know what, your right Stef. I'm sorry. The last thing I wanna do is bring her up." Damon said. I got up so fast that everyone around me flinched. I pushed Caroline out of the way and went close to Damon's ear.

" The last thing you want to do is test me Damon. I'm giving you a chance don't ruin it. I know Stefan and fight his own battles but as long as I'm here, I'm not leaving his side and I won't leave yours. I know you don't want me to. " I said in his ear pushing off the chair and grabbing the empty cups going into the kitchen. Elena following.
