A/N: So, I had this idea and I wanted to try it out. Hope you enjoy it!

my world is turning upside down,
My sense of direction's been gone."

Caroline.
A person full of light. A person full of positive energy. A person that would turn a bad situation upside down and look at it in a whole new perspective. A person that can look on the bright side of everything. A person that is always cheerful. A person that is optimistic that makes pessimists think twice about being negative.
I was named these things because that's what I was. I was a happy person, until he came along and ruined my life! He made me change for the worst and I hate it. How could I let him get under my skin so easily? Usually it takes various people to bring me down, but with him it was different. He had this horrific gift that you would kill to just not be by his side.
The guy that I speak of is Niklaus Mikaelson. The sun of a bitch that turned my life upside down and I can't look at a bright side of anything. It has been two weeks since I have met this guy and he has become my worst nightmare.
Right now I am walking, well it's more of a run, towards the bathroom because that bastard decided to pull a "prank" on me, which in my opinion, is not a prank! He painted my hair blood red and left some on my tee shirt for me to wake up and get panicked, thinking that I had killed someone. I hate him with a soaring passion.
This all started when I decided to go to University and stay in the dorms instead of getting my very own apartment. Why did I have to go to the dorms?

No One's POV
"Are you finished honey?" Caroline's mom asked as she entered her room. She was finishing on packing her last box. She turned to look at her, she was resting her shoulder against the doorframe with her arms crossed against her chest.
"Yep!" Caroline exclaimed. "I just need to write what this box is and then we can put it in the car and get going." She added as she grabbed her black sharpie and labeled the box 'Memories'.
"This house will surely feel like a mansion without you here." Her mom commented as she looked around the empty room. Caroline sadly smiled at her.
"I'm not that far." She stated while walking towards her, giving her a tight hug.
"I know honey but just the thought of you going off to College brings me this idea that you are not my little girl anymore." She told her.
"Of course I'm still your little girl mom!" Caroline expressed. "I'll just be your little girl that went to College."
"I'm proud of you." She then added.
"Don't say that yet." Caroline chuckled. "I still need my College diploma for you to actually be proud of me." Elizabeth shook her head.
"No, not necessarily because right now, I feel very proud of you. You aren't staying here, you are going out to explore more, to see where life takes you."
"I promise I will always visit." She hugged her again. "I love you mom."
"I love you too honey." And with that last I love you, Caroline went to grab her last box to place it in her car. After it was nicely in, she closed her trunk and she turned to see her mom waving good-bye at her. She waved back before blowing a kiss her way. Her mom smiled happily with tears running down her face. Caroline decided to leave before she regretted leaving her mother alone and she would want to stay.
She went in her car and she made her way to her new life. A life where she will be able to party and get her education finished to become a famous pianist slash singer and/or a fashion designer. She would be doing a double-major, let's just see how much work she will really have.
After sometime, she finally arrived to her new school. She got off her car to go and meet up with her long time best friends, Bonnie and Elena.
"Ladies and Gentleman! I announce the Queen of Tardiness from Mystic Falls, Virginia!" Bonnie exclaimed once she noticed Caroline coming their way. She made the sound of people cheering.
"It was about damn time you got here." Elena added. "What took you so long?"
"I had some trouble packing." She replied. "I couldn't decide what I should leave and what I should take."
"I bet she took everything." Another voice came to the group. It was Katherine, Elena's twin sister. "'Cause that little car of yours looks like it's about to explode!"
"I did not bring everything, alright?" Caroline defended as she crossed her arms against her chest, glancing at her car. "I left my bed and my winter clothes."
"Wow! That's a lot to leave Care because we do not get a bed here and it's freezing outside at 100 degrees. Are you sure you can handle being away from them?" Katherine teased before she started to laugh.
"You know what, I think we should just go and get our dorm rooms and stop talking about my life." Caroline replied as she began to walk away from them. Katherine ran up to her, placing her arm around her shoulder.
"You know I just kid Carebear!" She told her. "You are so easy to tease and make fun of!"
"Yeah, whatever." Caroline responded as she stopped in front of the booth where she will be getting her dorm room.
"Full name please?" The girl asked her.
"Caroline Forbes." She replied and the girl began to look at the papers that she had displayed on the table. She grabbed one and then she grabbed a key.
"Here is your paperwork and your key." She said as she handed everything to Caroline. "Your room will be found on the west wing of the dormitory."
"Alright thank you." Caroline replied with a joyful smile. She went to stand on the side to see where the girls were enlisted. While she waited, she looked at her paper. It told her that her room number is 347 and the that it's a shared room. 'Well there goes my dream of having my own room.' She then looked at the name of her roommate.
Nicole Mikaelson, British
Well at least she had a roommate that's from another country. She was a little bit more happy as to having a roommate that she has never met before. She does hope that she can confide with this foreign exchange student or have at least one of the girls close to her or else she will lose it.
"So, who starts telling their info?" Elena asked when they were all finished and standing in a circle.
"I'm in the Northern wing." Bonnie went first, looking at all the girl with hope in her eyes.
"Sorry Bon-Bon but I'm in the Western." Katherine added. Caroline turned to look at her.
"Thank goodness, I'm also in the Western!"
"Really?" Katherine questioned, Caroline gave her a bored stare.
"No, I just wanted to see your reaction." She replied sarcastically. "Of course I am."
"Good, now I won't get lost." Katherine responded. "How about you Lena?"
"I'm in the Southern." She pouted. "So very far away from Bon but close to you two."
"Don't worry Lena, we can all just meet up at Care's room or Kat's to hang out." Bonnie commented. "That will be the only way to see each other without too much hassle."
"I'm okay with that arrangement!" Caroline stated.
"Me too, I guess." Katherine added. "Now can we please just go and see the rooms?" They all nodded before they began to walk towards their dorms. Bonnie went North, Elena went South and Katherine went West with Caroline by her side.
"What room number is yours?" Caroline asked her as they began to ascend the stairs. Katherine looked at her paper, making a confused look before she looked up and at Caroline.
"Number 340." She replied. "And yours?"
"347."
"At least we are down the hall, not like Bon Bon and Lena." She added while laughing.
"I guess." Caroline shrugged. "Is your roommate from another country?"
"Uh, no. Her name is Olivia Parker and she is from the US." Katherine replied. "Why? Yours is?"
"Yeah, she's from the UK. Her name is Nicole Mikaelson."
"Wow, that's interesting." She commented with a nod. "Maybe she has a hot older brother."
Caroline rolled her eyes. "Of course, that's what you first think about anyone."
"Hey, british dudes are known for being hella sexy." She defended. "If she does have a brother, I call dibs!"
"You can't call dibs on my roommate's brother! If she does have one, it's only fair if I get to date him."Caroline responded. Katherine laughed obnoxiously as she stopped in front of her dorm.
"I can so call dibs! I just did it and you must respect it. It's the rules." Caroline scoffed as she walked away.
"I'll meet you back at your room when I finishing unpacking so we can all go out and eat!"
"Fine by me."
Caroline kept walking until she came face to face with the room number 347. She bit her bottom lip, taking in a deep breath, mentally preparing herself to meet her roommate that she will be living with for a year. With her smile on, showing all of her teeth, she enters the room just to find a guy there, hanging up a painting with music blasting off the walls. She made a confused look as she set down her bag on the other bed.
"Uhm-" Caroline coughed, but that didn't catch his attention. His music was too loud for him to hear anything at all. She then went to the small box that was on the nightstand, turning it off. The guy quickly turned around; he seemed annoyed.
"Why in the world did you just do that? That is invading my privacy." He chastised. He's british! Realization then hit Caroline in the face. He must be Nicole's brother, boy was Katherine going to hate her for not respecting the dibs rule but she was almost tempted to leaving him to her since he was being so rude to her.
"I, uh, who you are?" She asked.
"I'm Niklaus but you can call me Klaus." He replied.
"You must be Nicole's brother. I'm her roommate Caroline, nice to meet you." She extended her hand for him to shake. Klaus began to laugh, not even bothering on shaking her hand. Caroline looked at her hand before she dropped it. She didn't know what was so funny about shaking someone's hand. Was that not allowed in the UK? Was she insulting him? Or was she making a joke?
"Oh sweetheart, I'm not "Nicole's" brother." He answered, using air quotations around Nicole. Caroline took a step back from him. Was he going to kill her? Obviously, she was exaggerating but still, what could a guy possibly be doing here if he is not related to her roommate?
"Then-then who are you? What are you doing here?" She began to ask. Klaus fell down on the bed, he positioned himself so that his head was on the pillow and then he placed both of his hands behind his head.
"I'm Niklaus, I already told you." He replied in a frustrated tone.
"I know that!" Caroline expressed. "I'm asking what are you doing here if you aren't Nicole's brother?" He turned to his side to look at her, letting his head rest on his hand.
"I'm your new roommate love." He answered.
"Wha-what?" She stammered. "You...no."
"I what sweetheart?" Klaus asked, sitting up with a smirk on his face. "I can't be your roommate because I'm a guy?" Caroline had to sit down to process this information. She can not be having a guy as a roommate! It's not possible, she wouldn't be able to handle it. Guys are horrible to live with and unless you are married and madly in love with him, you won't survive a week. Not even as siblings could she handle living with a guy. She's a control freak, a neat freak, an organizer that never stops, how could she cope with this?
"I am going to speak with the School council this minute!" She exclaimed, taking a stand. "There must be a mistake! There has to!"
"Yeah, good luck with that love." Klaus breathed out. "I have already made myself comfortable here and I really would dislike to redo this in another dorm and away from beautiful ladies such as yourself." He smiled at her, showing off his dimples.
"You are disgusting!" She expressed before she stormed out of her room. Klaus laughed to himself as he turned his music back on. She is just going to waste her time going to claim that he is there. No one is moving him and that's for sure.

"Excuse me! Secretary!" Caroline stated as she entered the school's front office.
"Is there a problem miss?" She questioned.
"Is there a problem? Is there a-" She inhaled a deep breath. "-yes! There is a problem and a big one! I have a guy as a roommate!" The secretary looked at Caroline strangely before she placed on her glasses.
"Are you sure?" She inquired.
"Yes I'm sure!" Caroline exclaimed. "I entered my dorm and there he was! Hanging up paintings and listening to incredibly loud music!"
"Oh, no." The Secretary replied. "He can not be having loud music. During the day it might be tolerable but later on, when it gets dark-"
"Lady! Can we focus on the real issue please!?"
"That was rude of your part." She told her.
"I'm sorry Miss, but I'm stressing here. I do not want a guy as a roommate." Caroline apologized.
"What is your name and dorm room number?" She then asked. Caroline gave out her information and the secretary went on her computer to give the problem a look. She took a minute or two before she looked back at Caroline.
"Your roommate's name is Nicole Mikaelson honey. It is rude to assume that just because a lady looks different that she might be a boy."
"No! You don't understand me. His name is Niklaus, he was wearing boy clothes, he looks manly and he has a man's voice. I don't think he is a girl dressed up like a boy, I'm sure." Caroline replied. The Secretary stared at her for a second before she went back on her computer.
"Well, if he is a boy or not, I'm sorry but he must stay with you." She responded and Caroline felt like her world was falling apart.
"But-but why?" She stuttered.
"Because all the guy dorms are full already." She answered. Caroline crossed her arms against her chest.
"So you are going to allow me to live with a guy for a year? What type of school is this?" Caroline questioned.
"Public; now go on and settle in." The secretary replied before standing up and moving to the back. Caroline huffed as she walked out of the front office and towards her car. How could the school allow them to be roommates? She should share rooms with a girl, one whom she could share makeup tips with or clothing or even shoes! How could a guy be good for a roommate to a girl like her?
She will need all the luck in the world to be able to stand Klaus.
