So I read Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot (adorable book btw) recently and was inspired to write this. It might seem like a lazy way to write a story but I really liked the idea of the readers reading between the lines and filling in the gaps themselves. This is my first multi-chap Klaroline fic. Don't take it seriously, it's meant to be slightly self-mocking. Needless to say the characters may be a little OOC. Also I don't live in the US so my knowledge of the so-called 'Hollywood life' isn't that great. My research involved reading gossip magazines and online columns lol :P
You have one new text message.
Elijah 14:30 hrs, 15th September
Brother, did you consider my offer?
Klaus 14:30 hrs, 15th September
I did, 'brother'. I liked the script. Just what I needed to reinvent my image. But I have a problem with my proposed co-star.
Elijah 14:31 hrs, 15th September
Why what's wrong with Tatia? I thought you'd be the most comfortable working with her.
Klaus 14:31 hrs, 15th September
I am. But the last movie I did with her bombed at the box-office. I don't think off-screen chemistry translates well on-screen. Plus the audience wants a fresh pairing.
Elijah 14:33 hrs, 15th September
Point. What about, and this is just off the top of my head, Elena Gilbert?
Klaus 14:34 hrs, 15th September
Blah. Too boring. I'm sure everyone's already tired of her damsel-in-distress role in EVERY movie.
Klaus 14:40 hrs, 15th September
Uh Elijah?
Klaus 14:45 hrs, 15th September
Elijah! I have a photo shoot in 10.
Klaus 14:48 hrs, 15th September
Okay fine your girlfriend ISN'T boring.
Klaus 14:49 hrs, 15th September
I meant ex-girlfriend. Can we move on please?
Elijah 14:49 hrs, 15th September
Alright.
Klaus 14:49 hrs, 15th September
Arse.
Elijah 14:50 hrs, 15th September
So. Hayley Marshall?
Klaus 14:50 hrs, 15th September
Nah. She's too…you know.
Elijah 14:50 hrs, 15th September
Forward? Ah I remember the Salvatore party last year.
Klaus 14:51 hrs, 15th September
Everyone does, Elijah. Not to mention Tatia's nail marks all over her face. She'll have a problem.
Elijah 14:51 hrs, 15th September
Since when do you listen to Tatia?
Klaus 14:51 hrs, 15th September
Since she once withheld sex for a week. Next.
Elijah 14:53 hrs, 15th September
Okay. Um what about Caroline Forbes?
Klaus 14:54 hrs, 15th September
Hmm. I've met her once at the People's Choice awards. And she's supposed to be good.
Elijah 14:54 hrs, 15th September
Very good. Her latest made a new opening-day record. Plus rom-coms are her forte. You'll do well starring opposite her.
Klaus 14:57 hrs, 15th September
Fine. Contact her agent and let me know.
Elijah 14:57 hrs, 15th September
Will do, brother.
Klaus 14:57 hrs, 15th September
Really? Again with the 'brother'? You're not thousand years old. Just call me Klaus like every normal, hot-blooded female.
Klaus 15:03 hrs, 15th September
Hello? Elijah?

Care, you better make sure your next shooting's in London. I swear the guys here are gorgeous! And their accents? Yum. Plus you'll also be able to attend the unveiling of my fall collection. Please please tell Tyler to shoot a scene or two here. I miss you like you'd never believe.
Love,
Kat.
P. S. I may have clicked some pictures of a few random hot guys. Discreetly, of course.

Seriously Kat? What are you, sixteen?
Oh my, that guy in red IS hot.
Haha anyway, I'm not doing Tyler's movie. He postponed it indefinitely because his dad's really ill. He's at home visiting.
But I DO have another offer for a light, fluffy movie: Our Strange Love Story opposite Klaus Mikaelson. Never worked with him before. So I don't know. The script's really good though.
Reply ASAP and tell me what you think okay?
Love,
Caroline.

Woman are you out of your bloody mind!? (Yes, bloody. See? I'm picking up some of that delicious accent.)
Klaus Mikaelson is fucking HOT! Not only is he in possession of the aforementioned delicious accent, he is a VERY talented, award-winning actor. I did the costumes of his movie once. He's a bloody perfectionist. Say yes. It's going to be great.
Why is he doing a rom-com though? Doesn't he always do those heavy, serious types of movies where he always dies in the end?

Yes but he's looking to try something new. He wants to take a break from those kinds of movies. And yes, Kat I know he's a really good actor. I met him once before and he was nice. Kind of. His girlfriend was a bitch though. She said something nasty about my dress. But of course, I was the one to win the Best Actress award. Hah. Take that.
Anyway I'll talk to Camille. Then I'll go through the script again. I don't know, maybe I'll say yes. I turned down Stefan's movie for Tyler's, but now that Tyler shelved his, I don't have anything else to do.
I'll Skype you tomorrow alright?
STARS MAGAZINE EXCLUSIVE 17th September
Has Caroline replaced Tatia in Klaus Mikaelson's next?
- Vicki Donovan
Rumor has it that Klaus's next, a light-hearted comedy directed by his brother Elijah, has had a change in casting. Klaus's girlfriend of two years and model-cum-actress Tatia Petrova has been replaced by 'Queen of Hearts' Caroline Forbes. Is this true?
"Yes," confirms Marcel Gerard, Klaus's manager, "Tatia opted out because there was a problem with dates. So we signed in Caroline, who'll star opposite Klaus in this fun story about two individuals who overcome their hatred of each other to find love. Shooting commences next month".
Hmm seems like an interesting pair. Everyone knows that Klaus is an Oscar-winning 'character actor' and a blue-blood, his family being Hollywood royalty, while Caroline is relatively an outsider who started her career with a string of flops but gained a foothold after meeting top director Tyler Lockwood and has steadily been winning hearts with her ability to light up the screen and charm the audience. Let's see if Klaus finds a winner in Caroline after the Tatia fiasco that was Blue.

Hey this is Tyler Lockwood. Leave a message after the beep.
Hey Tyler, Caroline here. Some random guy turned up at our doorstep a while ago. Said you'd bumped his car a few days back and exchanged insurance details with him, promising to reimburse him. But you didn't. God how many times do I have to tell you- ugh never mind. I paid him. Just, just be careful next time okay? Yeah. That's it. How is your dad doing? When will you be back? I miss you. Sigh. Well gotta go now. Stefan's taking me out for dinner. Love you.
21:00 hrs, 19th September
Hi you've reached Caroline Forbes! Do leave a message and I'll get back to you if life isn't being a bitch.
Care, Tyler here. Sorry about that. It must've completely slipped my mind. I'll make it up to you. Promise. As for my dad, honestly he's not doing well. I wish you were here. I'll keep you updated, though. Oh and I heard you signed that movie with Klaus? Personally I'm not too fond of him but oh well he has a good reputation. Bye now uh…Mom wants me for dinner. Have fun with Stefan! Well not too much fun haha. Love you too.
Let me know your opinions/thoughts and whether I should continue or not.
Until then,
S.
