Damon thought the whole situation would have been over with; I mean he was deeply sorry about what had happened to Tyler but it wasn't like he was the only that didn't get hurt. He was walking on freaking crutches for crying out loud. But no Principal Turner wanted to meet Damon in his office right before homeroom was over with. As Damon approached the very familiar room he tried putting on his get out of jail face but soon the color and the masked vanished from his face when he entered to the principal, the school psychologist Ms. Katherine Pierce, and Jeremy's parents all waiting patiently for him to sit so they can begin instructing his punishment. Yea me…he thought as he turned around and closed the door and took a seat.

Principal Turner: I am glad to see that you are feeling okay Damon but there are some important matters that still need to be discuss and I think today is the perfect time to elaborate on the details. First off saying what you did was brave but also irresponsible. We are all glad that you was there when you were there or else we would have lost Jeremy but according to the judge you are ordered to see the school psychologist two times a week and required to do a for the rest of the school year you are required to do community services including participating in school activities.

Damon replies sarcastically: you sure that is all of it

Principal Turner: No need to be rude Damon. It was either the court order or you would have been expelled. I figured that you would rather take the second option but if you would like to come back another you to finish off school then by all means let me know now. So which option will it be Mr. Salvatore?

Damon mumbles "the second one". Mr. Turner leans over the desk "excuse I didn't hear, can you repeat that? Damon says a little louder, "I'll take the second one". Mr. Turner smirks loudly, "Good now that we got that out the way, your first act of "community service" starts now with Ms. Katherine, but first Jeremy's parents wish to thank you properly for saving their son's life.

Ms. Gilbert looks up to Damon and stands up to hug him, "thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to me that someone was there to save him at the moment. Thank you, thank-you so much. Mr. Gilbert didn't speak but shook Damon's hand a little longer than necessary and Damon flinched internally but the feeling of guilt quickly left his conscience. He nodded and left the office with Ms. Katherine behind him going straight to her office.

As he walked down the hall he can see Tyler and the gang laughing and chuckling like it was funny but he didn't say anything and walked inside her office and took a seat.

Ms. Katherine: Well let's get started shall we. First off I just want to say that everything that you say in this room is confidential and will not leave this room; so you don't have to worry about whatever we discuss talked around the school. Secondly, I know you don't understand why you are here so I am going to explain it. The principal along with myself, think its best that you talk with someone about what happen since an incident like this can lead to some type of traumatic stress, and after going through your records we don't want to let an incident like this cause stress when graduation is so close by. The sessions will be on Monday and Friday, that way I can monitor the beginning and the end of your week. The sessions will be an hour and a half long instead of the recommended two hours because I know that you would rather leave as soon as possible. You will meet me at this office for during homeroom instead of going to class. Your homeroom teacher has already been informed for you; so you are set. I am granting you today off because I do have a lot of work that needs to be done so I have scheduled your first session to start this Friday.

Damon rubbed his faced and sighed dramatically. He grabbed his crutches and proceeded to leave out the door but Ms. Katherine spoke again in a more strict tone, "If you have any reason to not show up to my sessions please make sure that you have an excusable absence. I do not promote tardiness and truancy in any of the sessions; if you are absent in my sessions three times you will be reported to the principal who will expel you for not meeting your contract. Damon cocked his head to side and glared, "sure thing Ms. Katherine" she smiled and relies, "Have a nice day Mr. Salvatore".

As he was walking to his class he bumps into someone causing them to drop their papers. He looks down and notices that it's Elena Gilbert. He bends down and helps her pick up her papers. They both reach for the same paper cause them to stare at each other. She gently takes the paper from his hand and replies softly, "Thank you Damon". Damon distraught by her kindness shakes his head as if trying to clear it and replies, "Yeah no problem, sorry I didn't see you when I walked out the room". She stands up and offers a hand but he declines and grabs his clutches harder. "It's no problem; I tend to look down when I walk so it was bound for me to walk into someone eventually". He chuckles softly, "Yea so I guess I'll see you around school and starts walking off. Elena looks confused for a moment but replies, "Aren't you heading towards the theatre?" He states blankly, "Yea I was how you knew that?" "Oh I'm sorry for being my meddling it's just I was called into the principal office because I was told that I would be assisting you with your community service since I am president of all out school activities." Damon face turned into disgust… what! He thinks internally I am stuck with Virgin Mary oh my day is just getting better every minute. He tries to hide his emotions by portraying a fake smile, "well…um I can't today. I have a very important thing that I have to do to maybe tomorrow I can stop by". Elena not affected at all by his rudeness glares at him and replies, "Look I know that you don't want to do this and I am and have no interest with working with you either but I have known to not judge a book by its cover and I ask that you show me the same respect. I am not fond of you or your friends but I took the liberty to help you myself, if I displease you that much I can request you work with someone else" She then grabbed her papers against her chest and walked off leaving a shocked and stumbled Damon in the hall way. Well I'll be damn the girl got spunk

Damon was interrupted from his thoughts as Tyler approached him waving a hand in his face, "earth to Damon, you in there man". He blinks repeatedly and replies, "Yea, um I think I just…never mind let's get out of here I'm starting to get a headache". He looks back over his shoulders as he watches Elena walk off.

Oh yeah the girl got spunk…
