A/N: Hi Everyone! This is my first Kennett/ Klaroline fanfiction. I usually write for Bamon, but I decided to explore my ideas into other couples. I really hate that Kol is no longer with us on the show but through fanfiction and youtube videos, he lives on. And I would love some more Klaroline action on the show….a kiss or something lol. But enough of my little rant. This story is going to be based on Bonnie and Caroline leaving Mystic Falls and starting a life in College. I don't know if Whitmore College is in Mystic Falls, but in my story it's not. This story is also about what if The originals never came to mystic falls; if the gang never knew about the originals. This story will be following some parts of the show…very loosely though. A lot of things also have happened differently than what we know. Also the title is poison and wine after that song from the Civil Wars. So, I hope you enjoy the first chapter, and if you have any questions, please ask! Xoxo

The sun shining brightly through Bonnie Bennett's window wasn't the source that made her eyes flutter slowly open; it was the buzzing from her loud alarm clock. She had every intention of throwing it, hoping it would shatter into pieces against her wall, but she was able to gain composure and just turn it off.
Before she could even think about attempting to get out of her cozy comfortable bed, Bonnie glanced around her new room, and couldn't help but let a soft smile cascade through her lips. Several months ago, she would never imagine herself being here about to attend her first day at Whitmore University. It wasn't that Bonnie wasn't smart and couldn't get into college; it was just that the last couple of years had been completely draining. Finding out she was a witch, that there were vampires in the world, that her best friend and mother got turned into one, and the fact that with everything she almost lost her life by letting dark magic consume her.
She would never forget the face of her Dad's best friend, Atticus Shane, a face and name that would probably haunt her for the rest of her life. He was originally supposed to help her control her magic, but instead, controlled her into turning her back against her friends. He manipulated and used her….mentally, physically and sexually. To this day she could never forgive herself for the things she did with Shane. And after each time she would tell herself she would no longer do it again, but somehow he would always get into her head….even the times she didn't want too. Her dad never knew until it was too late…until she was too far gone to be helped.
Shane had seduced her into letting a powerful dark magic, called expression consume her, and after his death and bringing her back from the brink of death, Bonnie took the whole summer to rejuvenate…to become normal again, well as normal as anyone could get being a witch. She still had expression deep inside of her, but she was now able to control it.
Bonnie was pulled out of her thoughts when her blonde best friend walked through her door, still dressed in sleep wear. Caroline pulled back the covers and got in next to her .
If it weren't for Caroline and her patience, Bonnie would probably still be on the brink of death. After everything that happened, she was the one to take Bonnie away to recuperate and get back to her normal self. So, it had been Bonnie and Caroline the whole summer.
"Please tell me why we signed up for a 9:00 class?" Caroline asked, as she pulled the covers over herself.
"Your guess is as good as mine," She answered, lying back down with her head next to Caroline.
Bonnie and Caroline had become inseparable throughout everything that had happened when their lives became bombarded with the supernatural, so it only seemed right that they attend the same college. Even though they had the option of staying in the dorms, they chose to rent a two bedroom apartment across the street from the university. They wouldn't know how to explain to their roommates or the people on their hall why one of them was drinking out of a blood bag and the other was floating things with her mind. So, they opted for going into their savings and their parents help with an apartment, and it only took about two weeks to fix it up and make it look homey.
There was a time in the beginning of high school where it was supposed to be three girls sharing a place; Elena was supposed to be their roommate. But with everything that happened, Elena chose to go away with Damon, leaving not just Stefan, but Bonnie and Caroline distraught.
After Damon killed Bonnie's mother and turned her into a vampire, Elena's mind was still consumed with helping the Salvatore brothers and making sure that they were okay. And when Bonnie almost risked her life and her magic to make Elena human again from being a vampire, she didn't get as much as a thank you. And after all of that, Shane came into the picture and well…that was something she didn't want to think of right now.
After everything went down, after graduation, Elena decided to leave with Damon, Stefan disappeared, and they hadn't heard from him since graduation day, and Bonnie and Caroline left Mystic Falls to attend Whitmore. And through everything they could finally take a break and be happy. Well, somewhat happy.
Caroline was glad to have Bonnie as her clutch, her rock…her everything. Ever since Tyler left after graduation, she hadn't heard from him and it left her in complete turmoil. He went away to control his wolf side, fearing the fact that he would lose control and bite her one day. She held a sense of despair ever since. The girls pretty much helped each other this summer, leaning on one another for support.
Even though Bonnie still felt an ounce of sincerity for Elena, Caroline really couldn't. Caroline had been tortured several times because of someone trying to get to the doppelganger. And even though Caroline was a vampire and could turn her emotions off not to care; it's not something she wanted to do…it's not the way she wanted to live, and with that being said, she was just tired of always being on the brink of death for Elena. And especially after everything that happened with Bonnie, it showed who your true friends were in crisis.
She may have been sad, and sometimes even caught herself crying from time to time, but Caroline had Bonnie, and she was grateful for that. The only thing that she wasn't grateful for was this 9:00 class that they were about to be late for. They had 30 minutes to get ready, and they were still lying in bed.
Since their first year was manly core classes; three of the five they were taking together and two of them were with the same professor.
"Bonnie, promise me something?" Caroline asked softly, as she turned to look at her best friend, well more like her sister.
Bonnie's eyes connected with Caroline's, "Anything."
"Promise me this year that we will have fun… that we will enjoy ourselves, that we will be okay. That no matter what we won't leave each other."
Bonnie held on to Caroline's hand and squeezed it tightly; knowing that it wouldn't hurt her. "I promise."
Tears were about to form at both of the girl's eyes but Caroline sat up and cleared her throat, "Okay, let's go get dressed before I start crying and we never leave."
Bonnie pulled Caroline into a hug before they got up, "I love you, Care."
"I love you too, Bons." A few tears escaped their eyes, "Okay, now really, we're going to be late."
9:05am.
Bonnie and Caroline arrived on campus with several students either rushing to class or just hanging out just walking the campus. It took Bonnie and Caroline about five minutes to find their class, leaving them ten minutes late. They knew they should have explored the other day instead of ordering pizza and watching reruns of Scandal, but Olivia and Fitz held their captivation.
As they walked into class, that at least held more than seventy students, all eyes went to them. Bonnie felt a bit nervous, not liking the attention being their way. Caroline held the same feeling, but quickly held her head up high and walked to a seat in the middle of the students; with Bonnie finding a seat beside her.
"For the future, ladies, tardiness in my class is not acceptable." The beautiful accented voice, caused Caroline and Bonnie's eyes to snap to the front rather quickly.
Their professor was gorgeous….beyond gorgeous.
That's when Bonnie noticed that there were probably three men in this class and the rest women. No wonder.
Caroline's heart almost caught in her throat looking at the man that would be teaching their class all semester. He was insanely handsome….wow.
When his eyes briefly connected with hers, Caroline didn't know if she imagined it. She had too, because he was her professor.
"My name is Niklaus Mikaelson. You can all call me Klaus, Mr. Mikaleson. I am not picky." He said, making the girls swoon as they gazed at him.
Bonnie would have chuckled a bit, until someone as equally handsome walked through the door with a smile that almost made Bonnie swoon…. And she wasn't the swooning type. Okay there was that one time when Stefan was new to their high school, but other than that she didn't swoon.
"Ah and when I mention tardiness," Klaus said with a smile to the classroom, "I also mean my TA. Everyone this is Kol Mikaelson."
Bonnie and Caroline noticed even more girls about to faint over the smile that Kol gave, "Hello class, I am the nice brother."
His voice was equally sinful.
Bonnie and Caroline glanced at each other; knowing that they were thinking the same exact same thing. How the hell were they going to get any work done?
"Very well," Klaus said, holding in the eye roll he wanted to give his brother, "This is my first rather large class, but I would like to know the names of each and every one of you. So, we will go down the row and say our names and where we are from."
Klaus and Kol leaned against Klaus's desk in the front of the classroom with their arms crossed over their chest. They looked like GQ models, making the room seem ten times smaller.
It was almost Caroline's turn to stand up and say her name, but as the girl on the other side of her went, Caroline found herself staring at the front of the classroom again. And this time she knew she wasn't imagining it, Mr. Mikaelson was staring at her. The heat flew to her cheeks, and instead of looking at him when she stood up, she glanced at everyone in the class, "My name is Caroline Forbes and I'm from Mystic Falls, Virginia."
This really sparked Klaus's attention and Kol's. Kol glanced at his brother for a mere second and then back to the blonde from Mystic Falls who was now taking her seat. When the lady sitting next to her stood up to announce her name, his breath caught in his throat for a moment. She was beautiful.
"My name is Bonnie Bennett, and I'm from Mystic Falls, Virginia as well." Her eyes glanced at Kol's for a moment and noticed that he was staring intently at her. It made her feel a little uneasy, causing her to look away.
As the other students announced their name, Bonnie tried to keep her attention to the crowd, but she could see out of her peripheral that Kol kept glancing her way. She really hoped no one else noticed.
Kol had to remind himself that he was in front of the class room and had to pay everyone attention, but for some reason his eyes kept making their way back to the lovely Bonnie Bennett. He may rather enjoy being his older brother's Teaching Assistant after all.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Hopefully you all want me to continue! Because I have a few ideas on where I want to take this story. Just in case anyone was wondering, Klaus and Kol are still original vampires…well Klaus is the hybrid, but I just wanted to let everyone know. But they're not as evil in this story. Again, I hope you all enjoy, and please review! =) xoxo
