"Oh god she's got a rack, that one!" Kol whispered to me snapping me out of my trance of staring at him while he did his English homework. Kol is my best friend Klaus' twin brother. Though they couldn't be more opposite. Klaus is a 6'2" dirty blonde haired guy with thick glasses that hide blue-green orbs and a lean figure, he is one of the members of comic book club, superhero fanatics anon, and mostly where I met him, musical theatre. Kol is about 6'1" with hair as dark as Hal Jordan's and eyes as beautifully brown as milk chocolate. He had a big muscled build and was the quarterback of the high school's football team, the captain of the basketball team and one of the most popular grade 11's in our school. Me, I'm a below average girl with brown skin, green-brown eyes hidden behind thick prescription glasses with braces and black hair. I'm about 5'4" and I'm as skinny as a toothpick. I have a huge crush on Kol, but I know he doesn't see me like that. I am the ugly, brother's best friend, superhero loving nerd who could never be liked or seen as beautiful by someone like him.
"Bonnie! Are you going to check my work or what?" He asked me snapping me out of my inner monologue, pushing his paper towards me. I've been tutoring him in English for the last few months so that he can pass to get into 30-1 classes, what I haven't told him or Klaus yet is that I won't be here to help next semester. My dad is moving me and him out of this town so that he can find a better job, though I doubt that is going to happen because he is a stupid low life who is never home. At times like these I see why my mom left him. Though I wish she had taken me with her. I looked over Kol's essay and he had done well. Only grammatical errors.
"Looks good Kol. I have something to tell you though. And you're definitely not going to like it." I told him handing him back his paper.
"Okay... I don't like that look on your face Bunny. What's wrong?" He looked at me concerned, like a big brother to a little sister. My heart thumped at his nickname for me. It all came about when he overheard me and Caroline; Klaus' crush talking about Thor. I said if I had the chance, me and him would be fucking like bunnies. Ever since that embarrassing moment he has called me Bunny. I looked at him sadly.
"Well, you can't tell Klaus this at all!" I told him looking him dead in the eye. I was going to tell Klaus tonight when I go to his house for our sleepover. "Well, okay, I'm moving." I told him. He looked at me dead in the eye and started laughing. I furrowed my brows in confusion. Why was he laughing at me? This was serious.
"Bunny. This is not the time for jokes. Tell me what you need to tell me." He laughed patting my back as I looked at him with my eyebrows furrowed again. He thought I was joking.
"No. Kol, stop laughing. I'm serious. I'm moving out of Mystic Falls. My dad's moving us to New York." I told him sadly. He stopped laughing and looked at me with a serious look.
"Well, sucks I won't have my tutor but, hey maybe you'll get some style in the city." He started laughing again and my face dropped. I huffed and grabbed my phone, shoving it into my pocket and my keys and stood up from the table we were at and then went for the door.
"Bunny! It was a Jo-" was all I heard before the door closed behind me. I marched over to my car and got in. Huffing, I started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot just in time to see Kol running after me. I drove straight home and slammed the door after I got in. No surprise my dad wasn't home yet. I rolled my eyes and went upstairs to start packing up my room. I plugged my phone into the dock and blasted my Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes album. I only stopped packing when I looked over at the time. It was 9 at night. Shaking my head I grabbed my backpack and shoved some clothes for tomorrow into it as well as my toothbrush.
I left the house and drove over to the Mikelson household. When I knocked on the door Elijah, Klaus' older brother and current guardian opened the door. Mr. Mikelson had passed away when the boys were young, Klaus was about 10. He, his wife and His older brother Finn had been in a terrible car accident had not survived the night. Elijah was only 18 at the time, but he became their legal guardians, it was very noble of him.
"Ms. Bennett? To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked stepping aside to let me in. Always the gentleman.
"I'm having a sleepover with Klaus tonight. Oh and I will miss you Elijah. Just keep that in mind." I leaned up and kissed his cheek. I went upstairs to Klaus' room and walked in to see him drawing another picture of Caroline.
"You really should just tell her. She would like you." I told him sitting down on his massive bed. In his room he had a massive four poster bed, with a black silk duvet, blood red sheets, and duck feather pillows; his bed was comfier than mine. AKA why I slept here most nights. He had dark blue walls with 2 big windows and black curtains that blocked out all sunlight. His dresser was a rosewood one with carvings of wolves and a forest running along it. He had posters and drawings of his favorite superheroes all over his walls.
"I don't know Bon. I don't think she would. I'm the comic book geek and she's a popular. It just wouldn't work. It would be awesome if it did but it wouldn't." He frowned and kept on sketching her.
"Honestly Klaus, how could you know that it wouldn't work? It could be one of those perfect matches. She talks to you, why wouldn't she like you?" I told him smiling and putting my hand on his right shoulder, which he quickly shrugged off, and walking back to his bed.
"Ok, I'll make you a deal. If you tell Kol how you feel, I will tell Caroline how I feel." He told me smirking and putting his sketch pad on his desk. I pushed my glasses up on my nose and bit my lip.
"Is it that obvious that I like him?" I asked with a pained look on my face. I hope I'm not that obvious with my affections.
"No. I just know you Bon. And I know you think that there is no way that he could like you back, because you think that you are a lame, and not physically appealing. But Bon you are beautiful and one of the best chicks I know. You would be able to give Kol a run for his money." Klaus told me coming over to the bed and sitting with me. I blushed and looked down at the ground.
"The same goes for you and Caroline though Klaus." I told him looking at him smugly, the blush still in my cheeks. "So, for tonight I think we should have an x-men marathon. But first let me get changed into my Pajamas." I told him jumping up and grabbing my bag. I unzipped it and looked through it. There was a pair of sweatpants and a green lantern t-shirt, my toothbrush and toothpaste. No pajamas. I turned around and looked at Klaus with a pleading look on my face.
"Did you forget your jammies again?" He asked laughing at me. I bit my lip looked down, and nodded. He shook his head and went over to his dresser and pulled out a Batman shirt, and tossed it to me. "You know you really should remember to pack pajamas next time you have a sleepover. I'm running out of shirts to give you." I laughed and made a noise of agreement and walked out of the room to the bathroom across the hall.
I shut the door and put the shirt down on the counter before stripping out of my pants and shirt, taking off my bra and setting them on the counter before slipping on the shirt Klaus had given me. I laughed because it was way too big for me. It went down to mid-thigh and dipped down low in the front. I shook my head, grabbed my clothes and opened the door only to run face first into a hard chest, dropping my clothes on the ground. I looked up to see chocolate eyes gazing back at me. I gasped and quickly bent over to grab my clothes. When I got back up I saw him looking at me and I gulped, suddenly aware of what I was wearing.
"You do know I was only joking about what I said earlier at the grill right? I didn't really mean it. And I will miss you Bunny." He told me brushing a piece of my hair out of my face. I froze and looked up at him. Why did he have to be so handsome? He was gorgeous.
"Yeah, I know. But it still hurt. You know Kol, you should really think about the things you say before you damage a girl's self-esteem more than it already is." I told him darkly, looking him in the eye and walking away back to Klaus' room. I turned to close the door and saw that he was staring after me. I shook my head and jumped on Klaus' bed. "Start up the movie, and then come cuddle! I'm cold." I told him pouting. He laughed, put in the movie and came over and got under the blankets with me. He brought me over and I put my head on his chest. God I was going to miss this. Watching movies and cuddling with my best friend, when I move.
"I have to tell you something Klaus." I said turning my head so that I was facing him. His brows furrowed and he put on his lost puppy face that he had whenever he got confused.
"What is it Bon?" He asked me with those stupid puppy dog eyes looking directly at me. I pushed up my glasses on my nose and bit my lip.
"I'm moving. My stupid dad is moving us to New York at the end of this semester." I said sadly. Klaus' eyes turned sad and then angry. See, Klaus had this weird temper. When he got mad he got MAD! I remember in grade 10 when somebody was being mean to me and making fun of me because I was not pretty, Klaus had punched the guy clear across the face and told him to stay away. When Klaus was sad he had a tendency to get angry.
"Why would that fool move you? It's the middle of our grade 11 year!" He almost yelled. I cringed and shoved my face into his chest.
"He thinks that he will get a better job out there. He is an idiot and I hate him." I told Klaus. He knew how I feel about my dad. I had complained about to him about my dad many times. "I don't want to go but I have to. But hey, keep this in mind, if I get my mom's signature I can finally get emancipated. You still remember our plan if I do right? I move in here with you guys?" I asked him with a hopeful look on my face. His gaze softened and he smiled a small smile at me.
"You know it Bon. You are always welcome here. When are you moving?" he asked sadly. Guess he gave up on calling my dad names for the time being.
"In the middle of January. After our exams end, but before the next semester starts." I told him sadly looking at the TV. He nodded his head and went back to watching the movie. We watched the movie for about an hour more before my eyelids couldn't stay open any longer. I felt them drift closed just as Klaus told me he would miss his sister. It made me feel all warm to know that we were that close that he considered me to be his sister because; he was truly my only family. My dad doesn't pay attention to me and only ever does when he needs something. I fell asleep with the thought of what the hell was going to happen on my mind.
The next few weeks went by really fast. It was a marathon of just repeating the same ritual. Sleep, school, pack and go to Klaus' house for either a sleepover or just to hang out until my dad called and asked where I was. Like he would even care if I disappeared off the face of the earth. He probably wouldn't notice. It was my last day in Mystic Falls and I was spending it with the Mikelson family. Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol had decided to take me out to the Grill before I left. The last week I have noticed something that would normally make me happy and giddy inside, but now that I'm leaving it just makes me sad. Kol has been looking at me a lot. Not even small glances here and there and looking away when I catch him. No, I'll feel him looking than two minutes later when I finally decide to look over at him; he looks into my eyes and smiles. I thought it might just be that I had something on my face or something the first few times but it is continuously happening. It still makes me giddy… just not as much as it would if I were staying here, which is probably why he keeps doing it.
"To our dear friend, Bonnie Bennett, who is like our other sister, we love her and are sad to see her go. We hope she gets emancipated so she can come back to us!" Klaus said raising his glass to toast. We all clinked our glasses and I smiled sadly at him. He returned the smile and out of the corner of my eye I saw Kol stand up. I turned at looked at him confused from beneath my glasses and he just winked at me, which made me even more confused.
"Our Bunny, boy are we going to miss her. Her geeky charm," I blushed, "Her wit, how she can make Klaus smile even when is in one of his moods," Kol made a funny face and we all laughed, "But mostly, how well integrated she become in our family. We will all miss you dear Bunny." He finished. I smiled a slightly confused but happy smile at him. That was so sweet of him. For the rest of the meal we ate in silence. When we were finished I said my final goodbyes to the family.
"Bekah, though I haven't talked or hung out with you much, you were a good friend when I needed one." I gave her a hug and moved on to Elijah.
"E, you have been the father my dad has never been to me. Thank you for that and I love you." I gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. I turned to Klaus and took a deep breath.
"Klaus, where do I even begin? You are my best friend, my brother, the most important person to me." My eyes started watering, "I am going to miss you so much!" The tears started coming down and he hugged me and laughed, "And while I'm gone, you better tell Caroline how much you like her." I finished tears still rolling down my cheeks. I sniffled, pushed up my glasses and turned to Kol. I took a deep breath.
"Kol, you are annoying, self-centered and don't know how to keep your mouth shut! But when you want to be, you can be a real sweetheart. The nicest, kindest guy on the planet and I'm going to miss tutoring you. And just miss you in general." I gave him a big hug. I took a deep breath, breathing in courage for what I was about to do. "I've always been in love with you." I whispered in his ear and I felt him stiffen so I pulled back and started walking towards my car.
"I love you all and will never ever forget you guys." I told them all. I went to my car, unlocked it, started it, and drove away. As I did I saw Kol standing there still in the same spot I had told him but he was looking in the direction of my car. I drove all the way to my dad's house and told him I would be driving down to NYC on my own.
As I drove on the only road that left Mystic Falls I couldn't help but feel like something great was going to happen in NYC. But, no matter what, if I had to run away or not, I would be back to be with my friends. I wouldn't just leave them. I will be back.
AN: I hope you like the first chapter of the new story. I LOVE Kennet. I donno why, but I do. I love the concept of the transformation stories so I thought I'd give it a go. Please let me know what you think of this.
