Chapter 2 : Classes In Session
Rebekah pulled the curtains open , the sunlight bounced on Hayley closed eyelids . She opened them and squinted alittle ,she pushed up her body and groaned . Her head was killing her from all those drinks
"Wakeup wolf...your late for Art Class and I'm late for Biology..." Rebekah said hustling and grabbing her duffle bag
Hayley rubbed her eyes and pushed her feet in her flipflops ,she dragged herself into the bathroom . She decided to take a quick shower , Rebekah was busy shouting and bickering about clothes . Hayley was too busy soaking her body in warm water and bodywash ,she grabbed her favorite towel and stepped out .
"Look Rebekah..."Hayley said frozen looking around the room...the blonde seemed to have left without her , Hayley pouted as she got more comfy in flipflops , skinny jeans and her My Chemical Romance tee shirt . The ruffled her dark hair ,grabbed her sketch pad and shoulder-bag and exit the dorm . Hayley hurriedly ran down the hallways and down the stairs ,she managed to catch up with the girls who were gossiping about the party last night and obviously Rebekah's brothers
"I'm soooo tired...6hours sleep isn't for a witch" Sophie said leaning her head on Bonnie's shoulder
"No more drinking until I'm 30" Bonnie said laughing
"Ugh great I have Dr Maxfield class now..that man is so annoying...I just wanna drain him" Rebekah said waving us goodbye.
"Well Bonnie and I decided to start Miss Iris ..Mythology class today" Sophie said hooking her arm with Bonnie's own
"Whoa ! Wait! You guys give up on Maxfield for creepy Iris" Caroline choked with laughter
"Well she isn't as creepy as Maxfield..he's all shades of creepy ..and besides ...everyone on campus knows she's secretly a witch" Bonnie whispered
Caroline laughed "fine I have Literature now...don't Romeo and Juliet ever get tired of each other" walking away
"Ley? Are you okay? You're awfully quiet" Sophie asked the wolf who was gripping her sketch pad
"Yeah I'm fine...I actually have Art class now" she said forcing herself to smile
"Okay we'll see you at lunch then.." Bonnie said exchanging looks with Sophie
Hayley nodded and walked away
"That kid get weirder by the day" Sophie laughed
Bonnie and Sophie walked into mythology class for the first time , the class wasn't as small as they would of thought mostly geeks and hippies
"Well atleast we aren't the only curious ones" Sophie said standing looking at the busy class take their seats
Bonnie held back Sophie from walking
"Oh my Gucci Shoes...why is Elijah Mikaelson in Mythology class?" Bonnie whispered
Sophie looked around frantically , until Bonnie fixed her head to him
"Sweet jesus let's go back to Maxfield ..I'm not sitting here" Sophie said beginning to freak out
"Shh! No No Devereaux breath..remember we need to get closer to Iris so she can help us with our magic control..let's go be nice and sit" Bonnie said pushing Sophie who had a stiff smile
Sophie sat next to Elijah with a fake smile
"Miss Sophie...? I didn't know you take Mythology" Elijah said smiling
"We started today...we got fed up of Biology" she said smiling
"Okay class hello welcome...I'm your...Mythology teacher Iris Martina...but I'm a cool teacher so just call me Iris" Iris said pausing at Elijah's presence in the classroom . Bonnie and Sophie exchanged looks.
"So let's get right to it...can anyone tell me who was the Voodoo Queen?" She asked
Bonnie raised her hand
"Marie Laveau" she said smiling
"Exactly Bonnie...very good now Marie was the founder and frequent practitioner of Voodoo...which is dark magic ...and what do we know of the history of Voodoo?"She asked
"Its so called forbidden magic...its evil" one girl said
"Close enough Katie...but Marie was like
Us...normal...she had a husband...children..but Marie wasn't just a Voodo practitioner ,she was a feminist , a revolutionary leader...fight for what she believed...even though ..most people think this Voodoo Queen is a myth , folklore..she was more than that...in history it was said she had the power of healing people through special herbs that she messed or helping someone find a lover , keep a lover or get rid of a lover" Iris explained smiling
Everyone in the class mumbled
Sophie laughed and looked over at Bonnie with raising eyebrows
"Miss Devereaux would you like to find a lover ," Iris asked jokingly
"I just think its kinda manipulating for someone to make someone fall in love because some witch decide to put a Voodoo spell on someone...why can't people fall in love naturally" Sophie said smiling
Elijah glanced at the witch with a warm smile
"Interesting ..and very true but let's not make this literature class but let's just say for the first couple weeks we as a class would be studying the History Of Voodoo , I want you all to go find out what's voodoo ,where it started , everything you can find" Iris said flickering her pen in her hand
Bonnie was staring outside at Stefan playing football ,she hadn't seen Elena's ex-boyfriend in awhile ,he looked much better than the last time in Mystic Falls ,he decided to come to Tulsane because his bestfriend Caroline begged him . Stefan looked over and saw Bonnie looking at him and waved alittle with a slight smile , Bonnie blushed alittle and smiled
"Miss Bennett did the Voodoo Queen get your eyes" Iris asked jokingly
"No...just wondering where she was buried?" Bonnie asked smirking
"That's why everyone we're going on alittle adventure this weekend to St Louis Cemetery ...visit the Voodoo Queen tombstone ,its very magical experience" Iris said smiling
"Get ready for creep ville this weekend guys" Sophie whispered
"St. Louis cemetery isn't that bad" Elijah whispered and smiling
"Mr Mikaelson...since your new to this campus and class...would you like to add anything about the Voodoo Queen" Iris asked with a shallow tone
"Its said her spirit still fills the New Orleans river...maybe its a silly myth..or some sad ghost story ..mothers tell their children to keep them from playing there" he said bravely
Iris chuckled and clasped her hands to the lips
Hayley sat by the window with her huge empty canvas infront of her , different shades of paint and pencils in her hand , her very attractive Art teacher "Eric" he liked to be called . Tall ,dark haired and beautiful deep green eyes almost like the forest ,his smile was amazingly gorgeous . He caused her to blush alittle ,she stared at him as he was explaining something that she clearly didn't hear.
Klaus cleared his throat next to her , she jumped alittle
"Very interesting class isn't it " he asked smiling
"Yeah sorry drooling obvious"she said alittle embarrassed
"Fine ,by me ,love"he winked sitting down next to her with his canvas
"Creepy"she thought with a slight smile
"Not much of a talker are you,?"Klaus asked picking up his brush
"Just not use to certain things..."She said shallow
"But you are use to our Art Teacher" he teased
She laughed ,her laughter made him feel warm inside
"I didn't know you're an artist"he said looking at her sketch pad sticking out her bad
"Ugh no I'm not..just silly drawings "she shrugged
He pulled out the drawings out the bag , and flipped through them ,she felt a bit embarrassed
"These are wonderful ...I think you should be teaching the class" he said smiling
She blushed alittle
"I try..."She said
He dipped the brush in paint and began painting a favorite place in New Orleans . , just like the teacher said "Paint a Favorite place in your life". Hayley painted her time in the mountains ,she remember vividly her quality time with Tyler and helping him breaking the hybrid curse. She felt a heap of sadness came across her as she finished her painting
Klaus looked over at her "are you okay,love?"
"I'm fine..bad memories..."She said
"Interesting peace..very bold piece"he said smiling
"Thanks..you like the French Quarter Pier?" Hayley asked smiling
"Why yes its beautiful at nights especially around Town Day"he said smiling remembering the 1800's festivals
"Funny I go there to clear my mind..that's my second fave place" Hayley said in an excited tone
He smiled at how excited she got
"Well that's one thing we have in common " he said
"I guess"she blushed alittle
After the girls had their classes , they decide to meet at there favorite place in the cafe across the road , Elijah and Klaus tagged along . Elijah seemed to have taken a steady interest in Sophie's conversation about the Voodoo Queen all the way in the cafe . They all sat down , Caroline invited to Stefan who could keep his eyes off Bonnie
"Great to see you again Stef" Hayley said smiling
"Thank you...you look great too Ley "he said smiling
"Great enough of the emotional memory lane...let's all order...let's see what's on the menu" Caroline said flipping open the menu card
"Definitely not blood" Rebekah whispered
Bonnie slapped her shoulder as they both giggled
Sophie had strange feeling come upon her body , chills from head to toe ,she hugged herself
"Whoa sophie your Ora is crazy...are you okay?" Bonnie asked
"I don't know...I have this strangest feeling..like something is watching me" She said looking around
"Maybe its the Mythology class..." Elijah said smiling widely
"I'm not freaked out about some dead Voodoo queen" she snapped
"Hey your the one that said you didn't believe in finding love because of Voodoo...so sorry Marie Laveau...she didn't mean it" Bonnie said laughing
"Since no one is ordering I'll just have a chicken burger" Caroline said closing her menu
"Sorry Care, I'm in the salad mood" Sophie said smiling
"Hayley and will both have that chicken burger" Rebekah said smiling over at the quiet brunette
"Tacos for me " Bonnie said
"Tacos ? Now that's a lunch I'll have the same"Stefan said smiling
"What about you rippers?" Caroline asked looking at Elijah and Klaus who clearly seemed to be lost in the menu
"We'll have that waitress over there "he said glancing at a strawberry bubbly blonde
"Of course you are" Caroline said sarcastically
The blonde came over to there table with her notepad and pen
"So what's the order? If its gumbo we're all out" she said smiling
"Oh my god Camille hi...I didn't know you work here" Sophie said smiling at the blonde
"Soph . Good to see you...I just start ugh it isn't that bad" she said smiling at Klaus ,who obviously caught her eye
"Guys this is Camille...she's in my Culinary Arts class ..Camille this is Caroline , Hayley , Rebekah ,Bonnie , Elijah , Stefan , Niklaus" Sophie pointed introducing them
"Wait? Rebekah aren't you in my Fashion Designing class?" Camille asked
"Yeah you were the blonde that spilled grape juice on my $700 Banana Republic jeans...even though there's a no eating or drinking policy in the classroom" Rebekah said with a stiff smile
"I'm sorry again "she laughed
"Can we just get down to the order..?" Caroline said in a bitchy tone realizing the blonde was too busy glancing at Klaus
"Right Go ahead Caroline"she said
"Okay a salad with French dressing , 3 chicken burgers , 2 Tacos ...and ..." Caroline said looking over at Klaus
"My brother and I will just have 2 glasses of Bourbon..your finest in the house" Klaus said smiling
"Okay heavy drinkers ...I'll be right back" Camille said smiling and walking away
"God I hate her" Caroline said leaning over the table to Rebekah whispering
"You just met her..she seems nice " Klaus said
"Right! My $700 jeans were nice...I hated her from the moment she walked into our class" Rebekah said folding her arms and leaning back on her chair
"She not that bad...she's an interesting " Sophie said getting that weird feeling again
"Sophie are you sure you're okay?" Elijah asked
"I...I ...I need fresh air excuse me everyone" she said getting up from the table
Sophie pushed open the door and bump into her old flame , an ex- boyfriend that caused pain to her emotionally ; Marcel Gerard . She hadn't seen him in 2 years , the two stared at each other , into each other's each for some seconds
Her friends could of seen all of this through the glass window
"And who's that?" Stefan asked
"That's Sophie's ex boyfriend , Marcel...real jerk to her" Bonnie said shaking her head
Rebekah noticed how Elijah and Klaus looked at each other in a strange way
"Yeah but why is he back after 2 years?" Caroline asked puzzled
Bonnie shrugged her shoulder .
Hayley kept staring at Marcel as he and Sophie were arguing
Marcel Gerard , his past in this town has been more deadly than anyone else , here's the thing , he use to be the some called King of the Town ,Klaus and his battled daily ,until one day something or someone ran them out of the town , to this day , they have no idea . Maybe Marcel had return to New Orleans for the same reason like Klaus and Elijah, to find out what sort of force ran them out of the town or maybe Marcel has his own dark plan , either way Sophie hated it ,especially knowing what he's capable of, the thing about Marcel is he doesn't like wolves and he's envious of The Originals.
