Chapter 49

                          ~Lan's POV~

I stared at the huge building of my school nervous. That break went by awfully fast. Nate had already entered inside leaving with his friends, Mark included.

I didn't tell him. I just couldn't. When we would communicate on the phone the time he travelled, it'd be at the tip of my tongue but for some reason I couldn't say it.

Every chance and instance I get to tell him, I'd chicken out and that's how the entire break ended and I couldn't even tell him the truth. And Damon, I haven't even seen him since that day and I'm sort of grateful. I don't know if I can face him again knowing what happened between us.

This term is going to be more hectic and awfully serious. It's the last term before graduation. Yup. Highschool is three months away from being over at least for me.

I braced myself and I walked into the building. The hallway was more crowded than ever. People chatting, catching up with their friends, hugging. The queen bees probably plotting some poor girl to bully this time around.

I sighed and walked towards my locker pulling it open. A body crashed on the side of my locker startling me.

I held my chest in fright.

"Do you want to give me a heart attack Pearl?"I glared at her calming my raising heart.

"Oh relax..how do you feel? It's the last term in this crap hole. Excited?" She asked looking happy to finally be done with highschool.

But I'm not. I don't think I'm ready for the outside world.

I snorted "Excited that I am going to be graduating with my brother? No I'm not!" I replied.

Pearl rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"You should be excited to be given the previlege to graduate before the others even though it's with those punks. At least you'd be with me. This is one of those times that I am glad I have a nerd as a best friend. Phew.." She held her chest looking elated.

"I heard you, y'know" I glared at her offended.

You see our school's system is kind of different. Nate is in the graduating class while on a normal basis, I'm not supposed to be graduating.

But our school, picks out the best and smartest persons from my class and give them a spot in the graduating class. Crazy, I know but almost everyone works their butt off to be among.

The exams, tests, group works all are determining factors. Pearl is good but let's face it she is among the lucky few because we always get peered up at everything. Even in the exam hall if you get my drift.

The school bell rang alerting us that our first class is about to begin.

"Let's go..." Pearl said pulling me along.

Class with my brother!! This is going to be horrible! I just know it!

We walked into the fairly large class, Nate was already seated at the back with Jacob and the rest. He grinned when he spotted us annoying me the more. He is definitely gonna make me do his homeworks Urghh!

"Come on let's go sit with them" Pearl said already pulling me to the back of the class.

What did she just say??

"No way. I'm not sitting with my brother!" I pulled my hand away crossing my arms.

She sighed stepping closer to whisper into my ear.

"Don't you wanna sit with Mark before some other girl takes that spot? He's a catch remember? Plus I want to sit beside Luke" She stared at my face pouting.

The door opened up and the teacher stepped in making the whole class room quiet down.

"Everyone sit down please" He banged his table.

Thank God! He stepped in just at the right moment.

I smiled cheekily at Pearl pulling her to the front seat. We sat down not without her grumbling of cause.

"Good day everyone. I'm Mr Edward but you can all just call me Mr Ed okay?"

The whole clay chorused "Yes Sir"

"Good. I will be handling you all on biology. And if you're in this class it means you're deserving of it. I mean who doesn't want to be done with this hell hole" He teased making everyone laugh.

"Anyway class we have a transfer student. Who luckily enough got a spot in this class. Don't ask me how, I don't know"

'A transfer student? That's surprising' I thought.

"You can come in young man" Mr Ed said.

The door opened up and my nightmare walked in.

You have got to be kidding me!

"No way!!" Pearl gasped beside me.

I could hear the whole class gasp and giggles which I'm sure was from the girls.

Damon walked into the classroom boldly.

"What the hell is he doing here?!" I mumbled to myself.

He was dressed in a faded jeans and a white shirt, a bag slung over his shoulder with that annoying smirk on his lips.

"Introduce yourself" Mr Ed said standing beside him.

"My name is Damon Salvatore and thank you for having me" He said a smile on his face. I'm sure that too is fake just like him.

Who gives such a vague answer.

Mr Ed smiled at him and told him to have a seat.

"Please not beside me. Please not beside me..." I shut my eyes tightly mumbling to my self. I could feel him pass me. I opened my eyes and watched in relief as he sat done close to the window beside Genevieve the bitch.

Her eyes were sparkling. She kept ogling at him.

"School whore" I mumbled under my breathe.

"Whose the school whore?" Pearl whispered to me looking curious.

"Who else? Genevieve" I said looking at them. He was smiling at her as she kept talking.

Pearl looked at them "Ooh" she said giggling.

I turned to stare at her with a raised brow"Why are you giggling?"

She shrugged "Let's just say this few months is going to be the best one ever" She grinned mischievously.

'Yeah right! I can definitely see it coming out worse' I thought, stealing glances at them.
