Hi! I decided (*coughwasforcedto*) write a Kennett story. Hopefully all goes well. Anyway, I named it after Neopolitan Dreams by Lisa Mitchell. Enjoy!
What started out as a peaceful morning quickly turned into something a little more demanding. Bonnie had been beyond happy to be spending her Sunday alone (she never thought she'd think that), but it was interrupted by a call from the Mystic High administration. The foreign exchange students had arrived a day early, and she needed to pick up her new house guest for the next six months. It seemed the caramel skinned beauty would never be allowed more than an hour of relaxation before she was thrust into action. With a begrudged sigh, she pulled herself out of bed to slink off to have a shower and compose her suddenly grumpy state.
An hour later, Bonnie was pulling up to the school with a grim look set into her features. As the car came to a stop, she breathed in deeply, quelling her inner frustrations. After a few thoughtless moments, Bonnie dragged herself from the safety of her car and out into the world that was Mystic Falls High. She draped her bag over her shoulder and almost fled towards the familiar blonde locks she'd caught sight of.
"Bonnie!" Caroline chirped, a cheery grin spreading when she noticed her friend coming towards her hurriedly.
"Hey, Care," she replied, throwing her a tight smile. She looked to the person standing beside Caroline. The girl was also blonde, wearing a fairly happy expression.
"Oh!" she realised, noticing her friend's questioning gaze. She briskly began to ramble in her usual excited tone. "This is Lexi, my exchange student. She's really cool. I'm sure yours is too, though. Speaking of, Lexi, do you know where hers is? What was her name again, Bonnie?"
The shorter girl let out a laugh at Caroline's sudden burst of speech. "Rebekah," she informed, shifting her eyes to the one called Lexi.
Lexi nodded, trying to push away a distasteful appearance at the mention of the youngest Mikaelson. "I know her, unfortunately. She's my friend's sister. Quite the, uh, interesting one."
"She's not going to make me her servant, is she?" Bonnie swiftly questioned, her face hopeful.
"I wouldn't be surprised if she tried," Lexi snorted. She groaned at that reply. Great. Another round of orders she'd have to follow; another pile to add to her already massive list.
"Anyways..." The joyous blonde began, giving the green-eyed female a shoulder pat of comfort, "Where might we find her?"
"Probably arguing with someone."
Bonnie's eyes trailed, wandering over the thinning crowd with some curiousity. She noticed a bunch of cute males, although they already seemed to be flocked by desperate, giggling girls. What a delight. She breathed in measurably. Finally, she eyed Tyler and Matt, as well as a stranger. She was about to walk over to them to ask if they'd met the ever so mysterious Rebekah but they didn't seem in the mood for further chatter. The three of them were amiably strolling towards Tyler's sleek sports car.
"Why does everything have to be so difficult," a shrill voice sounded. Bonnie turned to see yet another blonde coming up to their little group.
"Well," Lexi said, looking at Bonnie temporarily before rolling her eyes at the newcomer, "I found your guest."
"You're Rebekah?" Caroline got out before she could. A nod was received.
"You are?"
"I'm Caroline, and that's Bonnie," she continued, pointing a finger in Bonnie's direction.
Bonnie gave a short lived smile, "Hi."
"Ah. Hello," Rebekah greeted, remembering the name of her new housemate. "Could you please take me back to yours soon? The flight was absolutely awful. Having to listen to Kol and Riley banter will be the death of me." She whipped around to face Lexi as a laugh escaped her. "Don't think I forgot about you, Branson! You were fighting with them too."
"Okay. Come on, Rebekah," Bonnie said, defeated, already turning away from the mass of blondes. All she wanted to do was go home and sleep off her exhaustion. She heard the quick spin of wheels against the ground as she figured Rebekah was strolling along with her suitcases. She caught the holler of 'goodbye' from Caroline, but she only lifted a hand in the air with a shake.
"Thank god you didn't do the whole kiss-and-hug-call-me-later crap," Rebekah exclaimed as they finally fell into the seats of her car. Bonnie raised her eyebrows at the girl. "I just thought it was an American thing..."
"Oh, it is. Don't worry, you'll probably be seeing it soon." Bonnie glanced sideways as they were pulling out of the parking lot. "So, who's Kol?"
"An ugly jerk," she scoffed, crossing her arms.
"Do you have a thing for him?"
A look of horror descended upon Rebekah's perfect features. "Never, ever, suggest that again, and we'll be on fine terms!"
Her blonde roommate had fallen asleep the moment she'd hit the pillow. Bonnie was thankful that she wasn't a noisy (or particularly light) sleeper. It was quite late by now, and she couldn't seem to enter a slumber, only fidget among the covers of her bed. Her unease was interrupted by a loud buzzing from her bed side table. She sat up, instantly reaching for her phone. "Caroline?" she answered, hoping not to wake the girl whom slept in the guest bedroom next to her own.
"Hey," she heard from the other end. "How's the queen?"
"She's fine. Hasn't been a trouble."
"Good. I would've whooped her ass otherwise," Caroline continued, her tone also quite hushed, "Lexi was telling me about her friends earlier."
"Yeah?"
"Okay, so Lexi chose to come to Mystic Falls 'cos Hayley lives here. They're friends. And then all her friends from England wanted to come too, so they did, which she's happy about. Most of them are guys- really hot guys."
Bonnie softly giggled at her antics. "What about Rebekah?"
"She came to annoy her twin. It starts with a K or something. Lex said they're all fun."
"We've never had twins in Mystic before..." she noted.
"Right? So it should be cool. As long as they're not completely rude." Caroline sighed, "I just wanted to tell you. I'm going to bed now. Night Bonnie!"
"Thanks. Bye, Care," she murmured into the microphone before hanging up.
After a long time of tossing and turning in the heat of her duvet, she finally ceased her agitated movements.
Bonnie jumped awake at the sound of the doorbell ringing. She looked over to her alarm clock, noting the time. 7 am. She wanted to scream at whomever was at the door. Very tiredly, Bonnie slipped out of her bed. After a moment of trying to mentally prepare herself, she unhurriedly stalked down the stairs, making her way to the front door. The person out front wouldn't give up on the buzzer. "I'm coming," she said, loud enough for them to hear. With a glare, she opened it, her eyes coming to rest upon a tall stranger.
"Brother?" came Rebekah's voice from the stairs, sounding as annoyed as she felt.
Bonnie's eyes shifted from Rebekah to the man, wide with utter surprise. "You're male..." she said slowly, almost disbelieving as she took in the boy in front of her. As a smirk curled his lips, she couldn't help but notice he was the furthest adjective from ugly.
