My Escort

Stefanie's POV

After I woke up I was getting ready for school. Then, I ate breakfast and opened the front door. I saw Elijah.

- Good morning Stefanie! - he said with a smiled face.

- Elijah! What are you doing here?- I asked, surprised.

- To escort you to school, of course.

I was surprised, because I didn't expect him to come and pick me up.

- Elijah Mikaelson!- my father said,-long time no see!

- Damon! How are you my friend?- Elijah said.

- I'm more alive than ever!- my father said shaking his hand with Elijah's.- What are you doing here?

- I would like to accompany her to school... and of course if you allow me to...you're her father after all.- Elijah said, smiling.

- Of course you can!- my mother came into the conversation.

- The lovely Elena! Hello!- he said, shaking her hand.

- Good morning!- my mother said.

- Thank you, both for letting me accompany your daughter to school.

- Ok, Elijah, we are getting late. - I said.

- Oh, ok, goodbye then!- Elijah said.

- Bye!- I said.

- And behave!- my father said- Bye bye!

- Damon!- my mother said touching my father in the shoulder- bye Stefanie!

Elijah opened the door of his car, allowing me to get in.

- Thank you!- I said, getting in the car.

He smiled, and closed the door. Then he sat into the driver's seat and turned the car on.

- So, why did you want to escort me today?

- Oh, Stefanie, not just today, every day, if that's okay with you. I just want to spend time with you, and get to know you better.

- Yeah, okay, that's okay with me.- I said with a surprised tone.

- Magnificent!

Then, both smiling arrived to the school and we walked until we found Thea.

- Oh, you two are...- she said.

- Oh and good morning to you too, and no, no, not like that. Elijah escourted me here as just friends.

-Yes, just as friend Thea. - Elijah said.

- Oh, ok I see.- Thea said, smirking.

I made a face, like saying "stop acting like that", and apperantly she understood that, because she changed her conversation.

- So...how was yesterday, what did you do, after you went home?

Of course, I couldn't tell her what I really did, but I told her one of my usual routines after school.

- No, not much, I just did the homework, ate dinner, and then saw a movie with my parents.

- Cool. You had a better afternoon than I did, I helped my parents with the shopping of alcohol drinks, bourbon, vodka, and we went out of Mystic Falls to get them! My father wants them good and expensive. we came home at 12 at night!

- You must be really tired!- I said.

- Yeah I really am. Elijah, could you please leave me a minute alone with my friend?- she said.

- Oh yeah, sure thing.- he said, walking away- I have to get a book from my locker anyway. See you both at lunch.

- See ya!- I said, watching him walking away.- What did you want to talk about?

- Wow, Elijah is so hot, but it's kinda weird because he wears a suit in school.- she said smiling.

- Yeah, you're right but I think it isn't weird that he wears a suit in school! He likes them, I always see him with them on.- I said thinking about him.

- Oh, and I think he has a crush on you. - she said smiling and watching me,- I mean, he escorted you to school today...and the way he looks at you...it's obvious!

- Nahh, he doesn't, it was just as friends - I said biting my lip and thinking.

- Yeah, right!- she said.

- The bell rang and everyone got to classes. All day, I didn't hear teachers explaining the lesson, but I was thinking about Elijah, and the way he said: " I want to spend time with you, to know you better", and yesterday, he said that I shouldn't be afraid of him... we hugged...yeah, I think I like him too.

I was surprised by my thoughts. No, Stefanie, no is Elijah here we're talking about, he is a vampire, a hundred times my age, and...

The bell rang, and was finally time for the lunch break. I was walking in the cafeteria, and I saw Elijah our usual table waiting for me.

- Hey!- he said, smiling.

- Hi Elijah!- I said smiling too.

We ate and talked about many different things, my likes, my dislikes and his likes and dislikes, his family, about Rebekah who was engaged to Marcel and finally found the true love she spent one thousand years trying to find, Kol, the ex- psychotic maniac till he found the witch Davina and married to her, Klaus, that his daughter learned him how to have mercy, and to be a good person. But he still has a character. Freya and Keelin that have a baby boy called Niklaus.

- Um...Stefanie?

- Yes Elijah?

- Tonight, it's 24 September, right?

- Yes, it is.- I said.

- And tonight, in the Maxwell mansion is the Founders' Party and we, as founding families will go there right?

- Oh yes, the Founders' Party! I almost forgot about that, my parents told me but...yes I will go there.- I said.

The Mikaelson family had become a founding family lately, because they were the most ancient family,like the Maxwell's.

- Can I be your escort there?- he said, with a smile in his lips.

- Oh, um...of course you can be my escort!

- Oh, well, that is fantastic!- he said with relief.-Can I come and pick you up at 8?

- Yeah, okay, i will be ready by then!- I said, very happy he asked.

Then, Klaus and Thea came over and we were talking about different things, but my mind was imagining my wardrobe, exploring for a beautiful dress.

***

Now I am at my house, with my mom, trying to choose a dress from the wardrobe. I noticed the most shiny and beautiful dress there: The dress that aunt Caroline gave me for birthday! She said that it was for a special event, and this is one!It was like a date with Elijah!
