Loud knocking startles me awake. "Gabby! Let's go! You're gonna be late!" Elena shouts from the other side of the door.

"Yep!" I let out, letting out a small groan. I try sliding off the bed, only for something around my waist to stop me.

My eyes widen as I quickly turn around, facing a sleeping, clothed, Damon. Shit. I punch Damon, making him let out an amused chuckle before opening his eyes.

"Get out!" I whisper, trying to push him away from he. He chuckles again before pulling me closer. "Damon, I'm serious!"

    The doorknob jiggles. "Gabby? Why's your door locked?"

    "Just got out of the shower!" I lie before looking back at Damon with a pleading look. "Damon, please."

    He lets out a groan before rolling off my bed, letting go of me in the process. I quickly stand up, trying to shove him out of my room and through the window.

    "What, no goodbye kiss?" He asks, his voice thankfully quiet.

    I give a quick peck on the lips before attempting to push him away again. He rolls his eyes before grabbing my wrists gently and slowly pushing them away from his chest. "Why are you so worried about Elena knowing? She already knew we kissed."

    "I don't want her being angry at me," I admit. He gives me a look that makes me feel guilt. "I'll tell her, soon, I promise, but right now can we just keep us on the down-low?"

"The down-low?" He repeats, sounding amused with my word choice. I give him a look. "Alright," He gives, pulling me close, "I promise." He kisses me gently before pulling me away.

And suddenly, he's gone. The window's now open but he's nowhere in sight. I can't help but give a small smile.

The doorknob jiggles again, making me roll my eyes. I open the door, raising an eyebrow at Elena. "What?"

"Gabby, we're running late why are you still in your pajamas?" Elena demands, looking at me. "Weren't you in the shower?"

"Yes, I was Elena," I lie, "but it's hard to change into school clothing when you're trying to break into my room after I just got of the shower."

"Your hair's not wet," she points out.

"You know I can't wash my hair everyday, that's only gonna lead to a path of thin hair."

She gives me a skeptical look before looking past me. "Your window's open."

"Oh my god, Elena!" I let out an annoyed groan. "I'll meet you at school, holy shit, get off my ass!"

She puts her hands up in surrender before walking away from my room. I roll my eyes as I close the door.

    It doesn't take too long for me to gather my clothing. I even give myself some time to admire myself in the mirror. Damn I'm gorgeous.
