Stefan had a feeling something in him exploded when Caroline answered his question. It was a small, quiet explosion only him could hear, but it was still enough to blur all of his senses and for him to ignore the fact Caroline was trying to get his attention. The only thing he could see was Elena with that boy. She had a smile on her face, but he couldn’t recognize what kind of smile that was. He could not read her thoughts 또는 sense emotions she was hiding behind that smile. Her eyes were glowing, but they were empty. There was no true happiness behind them. But to any other person Elena would seem like the happiest 18 년 old girl in the whole world. The boy was holding his hand on hers, and he was saying something to her while looking at their hands. He lifted his head up few times, and in his eyes Stefan could see affection. He could understand his captivation with Elena. In the same time he felt sorry for him, because his smile was 더 많이 true and real than hers, and his eyes were showing something that Elena’s couldn’t even comprehend.
„Stefan!“ – Caroline finally got trough him when she shouted out loud.
„Who is he?“ – he asked, but he didn’t 옮기기 his look from Elena.
„His name is Nathan. He moved here from.. from Texas, I think. I don’t know, Elena said his family moves a lot.“
„I see“ – Stefan replied.
„But she’s not with him. I mean, they spend a lot of time together, but they’re not officially together. They didn’t even..“ – Caroline stopped right there when she realized to whom she is talking to. But it seemed Stefan is not even listening to her because he was keeping his look on Elena.
„The point is, they’re not 더 많이 than 프렌즈 who spend a lot of time together, as far as I know.“
Stefan looked at Caroline who was gently smiling to him, and had put his hand on the door handle.
„Are 당신 sure 당신 want to go in there?“ – Caroline asked.
Stefan nodded to her and opened the door.
„Well, this should be interesting“ – she mumbled and followed Stefan.
In the moment when him and Caroline entered Mystic Grill, Elena moved her had from the boy’s eyes and looked straight at them, like she could sense them entering the room. And in a way, she could. She felt tingly all over hear body, and she felt strong power coming from that direction. The boy noticed her staring at something else than him, so he moved his look to the boy he didn’t recognize and the girl Elena has told him about, and as they were coming closer he could feel Elena pulling her hand away from his.
„Stefan“ – she whispered as him and Caroline got closer to his table. He smiled at her, and Caroline was standing behind him with an ‘I’m sorry’ look on her face. None of them said a word, and Stefan and Elena kept staring at each other, until she finally smiled back at him too. Nathan and Caroline felt the tension, and Nathan finally caughed.
„Oh, how rude of me“ – Elena said after taking her eyes from Stefan. „Nathan, this is Stefan.“
Nathan smiled widely and stretched his hand out to Stefan. When Stefan felt Caroline’s eyes on him, he shook Nathan’s hand.
„Nice to meet you“ – he replied.
„And Caroline 당신 know from school“ – Elena continued.
Caroline waved at him, and Nathan smiled widely, once again.
„So, what are 당신 doing here?“ – Elena asked happily.
„We came to relax. He seemed so bummed when I came over that I had to take him out“ – Caroline laughed.
„I see“ – Elena said and looked at Stefan.
She knew how she left things with him earlier today. She knew she left without even explaining herself, even though she didn’t know how would she explain what she felt at the moment. She saw the confused look on his face while she was leaving the house, and that made her wonder did he felt the same thing as she did, 또는 was it all in her head. For a while she thought she had imagined it, but she knew she would never be able to imagine feeling so strong. She never even thought about that feeling, she never experienced that kind of attraction to someone. And when Caroline said he was bummed, she assumed it was because of her. And that made her happy, in a weird way, because she knew he cared. He cared for her, and for her actions. She didn’t understand why this boy who barely knows her cares so much, but she was happy he does. Earlier today, that feeling scared her. But now it seemed that she had accepted it. She felt closer to him, and it felt nice.
When Stefan looked at her, he forgot where they are. He forgot they’re surrounded with bunch of people, because when he looked in her eyes, he saw her. He saw his Elena. He knew she doesn’t remember him, but he saw the same acceptance he had seen in the eyes of them woman he loves.
Caroline was looking at Stefan the one moment, and the other she was looking at Elena. She looked at Nathan few times, and he was frowning. Stefan and Elena were looking at each other, and Elena started to smile devilishly. The way Stefan smiled back to her was irresistible, and Caroline wondered does Nathan feel that. Caroline didn’t know does she feel the tension because she’s aware of the situation they’re in, 또는 because that tension is really there. When the silence became awkward, Caroline poked Stefan with her elbow.
„We said we’re going to play poll, remember?“ – Caroline said.
„Yeah, I remember“ – Stefan replied, but not taking his eyes from Elena.
„Then don’t keep the girl waiting“ – Caroline pushed him in front of her and waved at Elena and Nathan. Elena looked back at Caroline and Stefan who were walking towards the 투표 표, 테이블 and smiled lightly.
„What’s the deal with 당신 two?“ – Nathan asked while moving his brownish hair from his eyes.
„With who?“ – Elena asked confused.
„You and the guy..“
„Stefan?“ – Elena smiled. She realized that only saying his name can make her smile. „Nothing. He’s just a friend. Well, he is my 프렌즈 brother..“ – she realized she hasn’t seen Damon in a long time now. „But somewhere along the way, he became my friend too.“
„Come on, Elena. There’s so much tension between 당신 two that 당신 could cut it with a knife“ – Nathan replied with a high pitched voice while looking her straight in the eyes.
Elena was surprised. She thought she’s the only one who can feel it. Sometimes, she thought it’s all in her head, that she’s the only one who can see that tension, and she wasn’t even sure can Stefan feel it too, not alone some other person.
„Have 당신 ever felt attracted to someone from the moment you’ve met them?“ – Elena asked with a whispering voice.
„Yeah, you. You’re really hot, 당신 know?“ – Nathan winked at her.
Elena laughed.
„No, not that kind of attraction. I’m talking about instant connection with a person. Like, when 당신 meet someone and 당신 have a feeling 당신 can trust them completely. That 당신 could fall in 사랑 with them in that exact same moment. That feeling people write songs and 책 about. The feeling that you’re.. meant to be with somebody“ – she looked back at Stefan who was shooting 투표 and laughing alongside Caroline.
„No, I can’t say I ever felt something like that..“ – he replied.
„That’s what I felt when I met Stefan. We know each other only for few months, but since the moment I’ve met him, I can’t get him out of my head. I thought I’m going crazy, and that it’s all in my head, until now.. until 당신 said it.“
„Do 당신 사랑 him?“ – Nathan asked with a sad voice.
„No..“ – she replied. But then she realized that she doesn’t know. She’s not sure. That feeling that she’s feeling, it’s unknown and confusing, but it’s there. And it’s bigger than anything that she has ever felt. „I don’t think I know what 사랑 is.“
„Why are 당신 not with him? Maybe 당신 would find out what 사랑 is. And he’s obviously attracted to 당신 too.“
Elena lifted her head from the table.
„No, he isn’t“ – she replied with a sharp voice. „He’s in 사랑 with someone else. Told me himself.“
Nathan gave her a look of compassion.
„Plus, I’m on a 날짜 with 당신 now, so let’s not talk about Stefan anymore“ – she smiled and reached for his hand. He smiled back too her.
Caroline had to drag Stefan out of the Mystic Grill. He didn’t want to leave Elena, but Caroline was successful in making him realize he can’t torture himself like that. When they came to the Salvatore house, they saw Damon sitting on the 벽 in front of the house and drinking.
„Have 당신 ever realized how many stars are there in the sky?“ – Damon asked.
„Damon, you’re drunk. Let’s get 당신 inside“ – Stefan said.
„What’s the hurry brother? The night is young“ – he replied while having another sip.
Caroline rolled her eyes.
„Look, your girlfriend is coming“ – Damon pointed behind him.
Stefan looked back and saw Elena coming behind them.
„Damon, behave“ – Caroline ordered.
Damon smiled to her.
„Hey guys“ – Elena said as she approached to them. Damon raised a glass to her, Caroline waved happily as always, and Stefan smiled gently.
„Well, well, look at all of 당신 bonding“ – they heard a voice coming behind them. Stefan knew that voice too well.
„Klaus..“ – Elena whispered frightened.
„Stefan!“ – Caroline finally got trough him when she shouted out loud.
„Who is he?“ – he asked, but he didn’t 옮기기 his look from Elena.
„His name is Nathan. He moved here from.. from Texas, I think. I don’t know, Elena said his family moves a lot.“
