Caroline was happy. And why wouldn't she be? She was sitting at the Grill with Bonnie and Elena. It was the weekend. She had no homework (not that she ever did it anyway). There was no vampire trouble.
Best day ever during this crappy year? I think so.
'You guys, the other day I found an Ouija board in my mom's closet, do you want to come over and try it out?' Caroline asked eagerly.
Bonnie furrowed her eyebrows.
'Ouija boards are not to be messed with, Caroline. '
'I know, it's just that...'
'Messing with the other side does not lead to anything good.'
Caroline huffed angrily. Trust Bonnie to ruin all the fun. Besides, she meant no harm.
Elena, ever the peacemaker, tried to lighten up the situation.
'That sounds like fun. And Bonnie, we don't have to do anything dangerous. We can just mess around a bit, and if it gets weird, we'll stop immediately.'
'Yeah, and it's not like I'm dumb or anything. I know how Ouija board works and all.' Caroline added.
Bonnie lifted her eyebrows and Caroline felt her anger returning.
Really, why did this girl have to be so infuriating?
'And how does it work, Caroline?'
'Well, for starters, you're never supposed to invite the spirit to come over, because they could stay forever. And haunt you, and stuff.'
Bonnie nodded, agreeing, for once.
'And if it asks anything weird for you to do, you're supposed to say no.'
This time, it was Elena who nodded and added.
'You know, my parents once told me they were using an Ouija board too. Nothing happened though.'
'Well they got lucky then.' Bonnie replied dryly.
'Aw, come on Bonnie, I miss us hanging out. Let's do it just this once. Pretty pretty please.' Caroline begged.
So okay, she was really excited. So what? New things excited her and she wanted to see if all this talk about Ouija boards was true.
Personally, she didn't believe it. But hey, if there were vampires, there had to be ghosts and boards that could contact them, right?
So yeah, maybe she believed a little bit.
Bonnie let out a small exasperated sigh.
'Fine.'
