Elena is in love with Stefan. Stefan is cheating on Elena with Rebekah. Rebekah has a thing for Matt, and will do anything to catch his attention even if it means sleeping with his best friends. Matt is still hung up on Elena but is dating Caroline so that he can get close to Elena again. Caroline really does like Matt and is clueless that he still loves Elena, and has no clue that Tyler and Klaus both fight for her affection. Haley is new and has a thing for both Klaus and Tyler. She just isn't sure who she likes more. Tyler likes to flirt with April and Haley when Caroline is around so that she won't find out about he feels. Kol loves April even if she can be childish enough to fall for Tyler's cheep charm. Lexi has a huge crush on Kol, and tags around with her brother Stefan everywhere just because Kol might be there. Jeremy delegates his friends all being in love or crushing on the other even though his own relationship with Anna is on the rocks with Bonnie back in town. Bonnie came back because she did love Jeremy, but now she is out for blood because of Anna, and if that means flirting with Damon Salvatore then that's what she'll do. Damon is madly in love with Elena but he doesn't have the heart to break hers, and to tell her about Stefan and Rebekah. Damon broke up with Caroline over Elena but ended up with a string of Mrs. Definitely Not Right. Damon hides his love with a series of passing ships: Vicki the druggie, Andie the drama queen, and even Rose his best friend who broke up with Klaus because he was never in love with her, but with Caroline. Katherine, Elena and Jeremy's older sister and is the one to take care of them after their parents death along side Jenna. Elijah is the school's principle who gets his collage buddy Alaric a job as the new history teacher. They might not be vampires, but that doesn't mean that they escaped the drama.
Caroline was planning the second to last dance of her junior year. The year had taken a toll on her, with her parents divorce finalizing, her father moving out, and dealing with all Matt's family drama she just wanted the night to be perfect. She was going for the seventies but Rebekah wouldn't shut up about the twenties, so she agreed to go with that instead. Rebekah had joined the cheer teem at the beginning of the year and had been a pain in Rebekah's side ever since. As much as Caroline hated to admit it Rebekah was actually a huge help even if she was taking away some of Caroline's spotlight. Rebekah had managed to convince Elena to stay on the squad, managed a lot of the little things that Caroline couldn't, and had the funds to throw a lot of the kick ass parties that other wise would have just been lame.
It helped that she could order Rebekah around with helping Matt set up things. The only downside of being able to order Rebekah around when there was heavy lifting was that she would bring her brother Klaus. Sure Klaus was cute, but he was also a major flirt who only liked to run around chasing pretty things just like Damon her ex, and she seriously did not want to be that girl again.
Caroline had started to date Matt back in October, and she had been happy with him ever since. Of coarse it was awkward on the first few double dates with Elena and Stefan, but it soon became a fun monthly thing for everyone. She may just be in love with Matt. He always would listen, he was kind, close to her, and sweet. Damon had been distant for most of the relationship, and cold whenever she wanted to know why.
So Caroline was running the cheerleaders and the football team around to set up. Rebekah was at her side taking orders like she was her secretary, and Elena was head of decorations. "Alright Elena I like were your going with the streamers."
"Thanks Care, you know I try." She smiled as Stefan helped her down from the latter she was on.
"Now try and get the others to do it like that and we won't be here all night." She ordered. "Oh and try not to sneak off to make out again." She warned.
"No promises." Elena turned around to give Stefan a passionate kiss. God was she head over heels for him. He was just so cute, and a good kisser, and just everything she ever thought she wanted. He was sweet, passionate, and so cute.
"Rebekah." Caroline turned to the blond next to her not noticing Rebekah's longing looks at Matt. "Take Stefan and have him unload the extra tables."
"But we decided that we didn't-" Rebekah wanted to gaze at Matt even longer instead of sneaking off with Stefan. They would be the ones to make out secretly. Ever since she had a small crush on him she had been his secret girl on the side. Rebekah didn't mind as long as he put in a good word to Matt. Stefan was just a way to pass time.
"You can just pile them in the back." Caroline cut her off. Rebekah sighed wondering how much bigger the stick up Caroline's behind could get.
Rebekah clicked her heels over to Stefan and Elena. "Um Stefan." The kissing couple broke apart. "Caroline wants you to help me move the tables."
Stefan looked from Rebekah to Elena grinning. "I'll be back soon Lena." He gave her a quick kiss to the cheek and followed Rebekah to the back outside the gym.
"Nice thinking Mikaelson." Stefan pinned Rebekah up against the brick wall and started to kiss her neck. "I needed an escape." He left a trail of kisses up Rebekah's neck, and then forcefully shoved his tongue into Rebekah's mouth out of hunger. "She want's to plan every damn moment and make it into some chick flick." Stefan said breaking the kiss.
"Ya chick flick." She moaned. Then she broke the kiss again thinking of Matt. "You know this all ends as soon as I get Matt right?" She questioned.
"Yeah.. sure." He said just before reconnecting his mouth to hers. They just stood back there for minutes making out in a primitive way before the back door swung open and someone stepped out into the light.
"Brother." Damon greeted Stefan. Stefan could clearly see Damon's judgmental look, where as Rebekah kept her head turned.
"Damon, I thought that you couldn't make it from soccer practice." Stefan repositioned his jacket and ran his fingers through his hair to make sure that it was up right. Rebekah buttoned her shirt back up and fixed her hair.
"And I thought you were going to end this a month ago." It hadn't been the first time that Damon had caught Stefan with Rebekah. First there was homecoming in September when Stefan had just started dating Elena. Damon thought that they had broken up because Rebekah did the walk of shame out of their house the morning after. Damon that day went over to Elena in the parking lot of the football game and tried to comfort her. He thought that she and Stefan had broken up. When Elena freaked out thinking that Stefan wanted to end it with her, and that got Damon a huge smack across the face when he covered for his brother saying that it was all a joke. Then he caught them making out in the boys bathroom at the Grill, Rebekah coming out of a janitors closet with Stefan inside, the founders party, the bleachers of a football game a few times, and most recently on the hood of Stefan's car. It was just his luck that Elena would always send Damon to find Stefan and Damon couldn't refuse her. Otherwise Stefan would have been caught a long time ago.
"Right, well, things don't always go as expected." Stefan grinned at Damon.
"So you two got this. I'm going to go see what else Caroline needs." Rebekah quickly scampered back inside after reapplying lipstick.
Damon looked over to Stefan. "Caroline said you were taking to long so her highness ordered me out here to help and Elena wanted you back inside to help her."
"Let's just move the tables. I wouldn't want to keep Elena waiting." Stefan grinned knowing that his brother wouldn't tell Elena. Once he grew tired of her then Damon could have her. He could never get tired of messing around with Rebekah, she was a girl that liked to have fun, he could never get tired of fun.
Damon didn't even began to touch the tables. "Why do you have to do this to Elena? She's an amazing girl, how can you not see that?
"I do, she's just not my type of amazing girl like her sister, or Rebekah." He shrugged.
Damon scoffed and started to move tables. "You're an idiot."
Stefan's eye brow rose. "Really? I'd think you would be the idiot. You could have had Elena if you told her when everything began...confessed your feelings...been there. But now she'll hate you if she found out you knew for this long."
"You can be a real dick sometimes." Damon mumbled.
Stefan shrugged again. "I know." He paused feeling a tingle of remorse, or maybe a tingle of something else. "But Elena thinks I'm charming...I'll let you take care of the tables, Elena's waiting." He grinned and walked in leaving his brother behind to do his job for him.
So what did you think? I know I made Stefan into an ass, but he won't always be, and Damon won't be all nice. Poor naive Elena, and Rebekah too, to an extent. See you loves next time.
