This Is Love? Chapter 1, a vampire diaries fanfic

A few weeks had passed. I was currently getting ready for the graduation of my sister the majority of my friends. It seemed like everyone was going to be going to college. I was currently wearing a grey wool dress with blue snowflakes on it. It probably seemed more winter appropriate than almost summer, but I didn't care. I was waiting for Carly to finish. Of course, I didn't have shoes on, but I had already chosen those.

"Well don't you look lovely?" Kol said as he entered through my open window. I don't understand why he had to come in that way.

"Can you not use the door?" I asked him.

"Why else would you keep your window open if you didn't want me to enter through it?" He questioned.

"Because it's a nice day?" I suggested. I noticed him staring at me.

"You changed your hair." He noted. I had dyed it brown to look more like Elena. I mean I think it made us look more like sisters.

"You know most guys wouldn't notice." I pointed out.

"Well I certainly noticed that your hair has taken on a shade of delicious milk chocolate." He stated. "I think I prefer the original, however."

"Well this is going to stick for a while." I declared. "I'm not going to let anyone else dictate my appearance. I don't have much time before Elena goes off to college. I also don't have much time to talk. I'm waiting for Carly. I guess you'll be there too because Rebekah is graduating."

"So a little birdy told me about a graduation party here tonight." He remarked. That was supposed to be a secret.

"You know I was going to invite you at the ceremony." I said. "You make it so hard to surprise you sometimes."

"Are you ready to go?" Carly asked as she appeared in my doorway. She then noticed Kol. "I'll give you a minute."

"No, I'm ready now. Kol was just leaving." I declared as I slipped on some blue flip-flops. I gave Kol a hug before he went out the window.

"So have you two had sex yet?" Carly asked. I blushed, knowing that Kol might actually have been listening from outside.

"No." I answered as we began to walk. "I'm really trying to move slowly about this and I also want him to tell me more about Anastasia."

"Well you should probably get to it pretty soon." She remarked.

"What's the rush? This isn't like the other relationships I've been in." I explained. "Kol isn't the easiest person to fall in love with."

"So, you're waiting for love." Carly declared.

"Of course, I mean we haven't even kissed yet." I responded.

"You've been together for three weeks, though." Carly pointed out.

"I know." I declared. "Where's Anna?"

"I think she was hanging out with Tyler." Carly replied. Klaus had allowed Tyler to return to return to Mystic Falls as a graduation gift for Caroline. "Do you think that they're going to have a summer romance?"

"Of course they are because you two spent so much time trying to get me and Kol together." I responded.

We went to the ceremony and took a seat next to Ric. Since he hadn't actually been buried, the Council, which was led by Damon, ran the story that he was actually lost at sea. I don't even know if he knew how to operate a boat. Of course, that might have been why he was lost at sea.

"Before we get started with the ceremony, we have a special performance by our valedictorian Caroline Forbes." David said. I didn't know he was emceeing. Caroline took the microphone and began to sing.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon

And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

La, la, la, la...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la...
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

I have to say that that song by Vitamin C is one of the worst ever, but Caroline sang it well and I guess it was appropriate.

I quickly realized the downside of a throwing a graduation was a house full of drunk teenagers. I needed to stay sober, partly because I didn't want anything to happen with Kol before I was ready.

So, I found Anna on the dance floor.

"So you, and Tyler." I remarked. "That's interesting."

"We're friends." Anna replied. "We bonded over the fact that both of our mothers were murdered."

"That's…interesting." I declared. "So you two know that you're going to be more than friends, don't you. I'm not going to let you be just friends."

"He's still getting over Caroline." Anna pointed out.

"Well you're the first perfect person to help him get over her.' I opined. "Look, I'm not saying that you have to have some epic love with him, but I think you should at least pursue a fling."

"Your date is here." She told me. I looked in the doorway and there was Kol.

"Hello, Love." He greeted me before he put his arm around my shoulder. "Can I get you a drink?"

"Take me to the kitchen and I'll get my one." I told him before we went and I got a Pepsi.

"That's what you're having?" He asked in surprise.

"I don't want to get drunk and take our relationship somewhere that I'm not ready to go." I explained.

"You know I would never take advantage of you." He responded.

"It's not you that I'm worried about." I stated. Suddenly, I noticed a familiar face.

"Hey, Spencer, this is a great party." April told me. I had explained everything to her. "Though, it seems like we're the only non-Seniors here."

"Well we're the only human non-Seniors." I corrected. "Anna and Carly are here. I don't know if you two have met. This is my boyfriend Kol."

"You're Rebekah's brother, aren't you?" She asked.

"So, Elena is going to college in the fall." I remarked. "If you want to move in, you can."

"I think I'm going to think about it." She declared before she walked away. "It was nice meeting you."

"When are you going to ask me to move in?" Kol questioned.

"Believe it's not going to be for a while." I told him. "I want you to tell me more about Anastasia."

So, Spencer is taking it extra slow with Kol, and Anna maybe has a thing for Tyler. There are recordings of Candice singing that song on Youtube. Please don't forget to review.
