Aria smiled at Stefan, "Hey Stefan".

"Um so, I brought you something" Stefan informed.

Aria looked at Stefan in confusion, she then turned to Elena who was just smiling widely at her, "A gift, for me?".

"Uh yeah, I brought you this" Stefan said, handing Aria a book.

"Holy shit" Aria said, grabbing the book from Stefan, "Wuthering Heights by Ellis Bell, oh my god I've been looking for this cover of the book everywhere online, but couldn't find it anywhere".

 "Yeah, Elena told me about your love for this book last night and I remembered I had it so I brought it for you" Stefan explained.

"Aww your so sweet, thank you so much" Aria said, side hugging Stefan, she then turned to Elena, "Thank you for telling your boyfriend about my love for this book".

Elena looked at Aria in embarrassment, "Uh, he's not, he's not my boyfriend".

"Yet" Aria teased, making both Elena and Stefan look down at their feet, but the small smiles on their faces told a whole different story.

"Okay" Elena said, grabbing her bag, "Let's go before someone ends up locking us in this room".

Elena, Aria and Stefan were now walking down the corridor of their high school, "You know, I can't believe she didn't use her real name" Aria said.

"All the Bronte sisters used pseudonyms" Stefan explained, "It was the time, female writers weren't very accepted then".

Aria turned to Stefan in excitement, "Hey, you never told me where you got this cover from?".

"Uh, it was passed down through the family".

"It's official, I love your ancestors for keeping such an iconic version of this book" an excited Aria said.

Elena smiled widely looking at Aria's excitement, she was happy seeing an actual smile on her best friend's face after such a long time, "Told you she will love it, she's a huge bookworm".

"I appericate good talent" Aria replied, "Nothing wrong with that".

"I have lots of books" Stefan said, handing Aria the book, "Go ahead, keep it.

Aria looked at Stefan in shock, "What?", Aria looked at Elena, "Did you just hear the same thing I heard?".

Elena nodded her head in amusement, "Yes Aria, I heard the same thing you heard".

Aria looked at Stefan, "I can't keep this Stefan", before Stefan could say anything, Aria spoke again, "However, I would love to read it again in this beautiful cover, I swear I'll give it back to you as soon as I finished".

Stefan smiled and nodded his head in understanding, "Okay".

After talking to Stefan and Elena, Aria met up with Bonnie and Caroline.

"I'm confused, are you two psychic or clairvoyant?" a confused Caroline asked Aria and Bonnie.
