I walked into my living room to find Jenna, Jeremy and Stefan to my surprise.
"Hello Clara" Stefan said
"Oh uh hey Stefan" I said looking at him with a puzzled look. What was he doing here, in my house?
"Stefan came looking for you Clara, he said he wanted to return something you had dropped in your class together and well since you weren't home, I told him to come in to wait for you" Jenna said with a smile. I could tell what she was thinking.
"Oh..." I put my book bag down and took a seat in a chair next to Jenna.
"Well I'll be in the kitchen getting dinner ready with Jeremy" Jenna said as she grabbed Jeremy basically dragging him to leave Stefan and I alone.
"I'm sorry, I've never brought a boy home or really ever involved them with anything that has to do with a boy... you said you needed to return something?" I asked
"Clara, I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry for the way I acted at the cemetery, I just get weird around blood" he said kitting his eyebrows together.
"No it's fine Stefan, I get it. Blood makes you queasy...." I said giving him a smile.
"Oh uh and you dropped this at the cemetery" he said handing me my diary.
"My diary..." I said as I took it from his hand suddenly wondering if he had read it.
"I didn't read it... I promise" he said looking at me, I could tell he wasn't lying.
"You didn't? Most people would have...." I said looking into his green amber eyes.
"Yeah well I wouldn't want anybody to read mine..." he said looking down at the floor.
"You write in a diary too?" I asked with a curious smile.
"I like to call it a journal, it's more manly but yes, if I don't write things down, I forget. And some memories are just too important to forget" he said as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and I blushed.
"Well uh thanks for that...." I said as we stood there awkwardly.
"Right so uh I should get going, I'll see you tomorrow Clara" he said as he turned his heel to walk away.
"Wait Stefan- would you want to stay for dinner?" I asked hopeful he would say yes.
