Fate

It was a regular Thursday and Bonnie Bennett was walking to school. It's been a week since Damon said thank you to her at the parade. Ever since then all she can do was think about it. He's changed she would think but then another part of her brain would tell her that's impossible. People like Damon Salvatore don't change. But she really wants to believe it but she knows it's impossible. She wants him to be a good person and not cause harm to others…" basically another Stefan "she said allowed. By then she was outside of school and someone snuck up behind her.

"Another Stefan?"

She jumped and saw Stefan looking at her with a confused expression on his face. She smiled.

"OH my gosh it's only you Stefan…you gotta stop sneaking up on me like that"

He smirked and walked besides her into the school building.

"So what were you saying about another Stefan?"

She wasn't sure she wanted to tell him, she didn't really want him to especially know that Damon's all she's been thinking about lately.

He saw her face and stopped in front of her.

"Bonnie what's wrong?"

She bit her lip nervously.

"Do you think that maybe Damon's changed?"

Stefan was taken aback by this question.

"Do I think that's he's changed as in...?"

"As in is he a good vampire like you?"

"Truthfully I want to say yes but at the same time I can't say yes."

Bonnie nodded," I understand".

"What made you ask that question?"

Bonnie looked at Stefan who stood perfectly straight and look calm and was boring his eyes into hers waiting for her to respond.

"Well at the parade last week Damon came to me."

Stefan tensed up.

"What did he want?"

"Well see here's the thing, he didn't want anything…he…he um…"

"What is it Bonnie?"

"Well he actually…thanked me"

Stefan blinked and took a step back.

"He what?"

"He thanked me for saving him in the fire….yea I know I was surprised to."

Stefan looked at her with curiosity and smiled.

"What?"

"My brother might be changing for the good after all."

Bonnie and Stefan smiled at each other and all Bonnie could think in her head was I hope so.

The rest of the day went by in a blur and Bonnie was leaving school when she spotted Stefan.

"Hey Stefan!" she called out.

He turned and saw Bonnie and smiled and walked over to her.

"Hey Bonnie, whats up?

"Oh I was just looking for Elena."

She asked Stefan because wherever Stefan was Elena was always with him. Except this morning because they get to school at different times.

"She had to go home and help Jenna with something"

"Oh"

"Why?"

"Oh well I wanted to know if she wanted to come with me to Mystic Grill"

"Oh"

"Yea"

"Hey why don't you ask Caroline?"

"I did but she was hanging out with Matt today."

"Oh"

"Yea"

Bonnie felt the conversation going into a pattern of "Oh's" and "Yea's".

She looked at Stefan and an idea came to mind.

"Um hey Stefan?"

"Yes, Bonnie?"

"Would you like to come with me to mystic grill? I mean I don't really like eating alone and I haven't really gotten to hangout and get to know you without other people being there."

He smiled.

"I'd love to go with you to mystic grill"

She smiled and they drove there with Stefan's car.

Once there they sat down at a booth and they ordered fries (well technically Bonnie ordered it since she really would be the only one eating it. Vampires can eat food, it helps them look normal but it's not necessary since they don't get anything from it….according to Stefan)

They talked and joked around with each other about teachers.

All of a sudden from behind someone called out, "Well if it isn't Saint Stefan."

She knew that voice and heard footsteps coming to their table.

Next thing she knows Damon is standing before them and she can't help but tense up whenever he's around.

"Hello Stefan and (he looks to the side) Bonnie…well well what would Miss. Elena say about this little date?"

Bonnie glared at him and he smiled back. He's still an ass is what went through her head.

"I think you and me both know it's not a date Damon", Bonnie said with her glare.

"Well if only you and I know shouldn't someone tell Stefan so he doesn't get his hopes up for a second date?" He smiled and she just wanted to smack that smile off his face.

Stefan let out a sigh, "what do you want Damon?"

"Why is it always 'what do you want Damon' why never a 'ah Damon it's so nice to see you…come join us' "

Stefan was about say something but Damon interrupted him.

"Why join you? I'd love to!"

Damon pushed Stefan down the booth to make room for him to sit. Once seated he smiled at Bonnie and she looked at Stefan and he was shaking his head.
