Hey Fammmmmmm! Sooooooooo...Dont Kill us! I know we haven't posted in forever but we have a valid reason...Fanfiction hates us! It keeps deleting our saved documents and copy and pasting docs from pages is a struggle but I think we've figured it out...hopefully (If anyone knows how to fix this please let us know!) School has also been crazy but we've re-written almost everything we lost so we should be able to post at least twice a week now! On a happier note thanks for all the lovely reviews! They really do motivate us and we take all your comments into consideration while writing. You all seem to like the Kol/Bonnie/Kai idea so we've added it in and hope you'll all enjoy it! Besides that we're gonna work out other ships as we go but expect some major Klaroline obv ;) Also...Don't hate us but no Klaroline interaction this chapter! Next chapter will be their first meeting and about 95% Klaroline, but on the bright side this chapter you'll see Damon meeting our Mystic Falls gang as well as the first Kol and Bonnie meting! Now enough of us blabbering, hope you'll enjoy and be sure to let us know what you think!
"Oh my god where is he!" Caroline yelled as she sat in the waiting room of the main office. She had arrived in England only an hour ago and was already counting down the seconds until Christmas where she would be back in Mystic Falls.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon." Bonnie assured her.
Caroline merely stood and began to pace the office ignoring the looks she was receiving from the secretary.
"What if his plane crashed? Or his car crashed on the way here! Or he tripped on a rock while walking to the entrance!" Caroline worried as she walked from one side of the office to the other.
"Care, relax." Bonnie said while laughing softly.
Caroline sighed and sat back in her seat. They were waiting for Stefan who was supposed to be arriving at the academy at eight the latest. It was now 8:13 which was enough reason to worry in Caroline's view.
The door to the office opened and Caroline quickly jumped up from her seat, "Stefan!"
Instead of being greeted by Stefan, Elena walked over with an amused smile, "Sorry to disappoint but it's just me."
Caroline smiled brightly and pulled her friend into a hug.
While Bonnie and Caroline had traveled together Elena had gotten an earlier flight, leading her to arrive at the academy before the others. Caroline personally thought it was unfair that Elena would get to see the place they'd be spending the next few months first because of the lack of plane tickets.
"Did you see your dorm yet? How's your roommate? How big are the closets? Does your roommate have an accent? Have you spoken to Stefan? Ugh this is so exciting!" Caroline rambled out all without taking a breath.
Bonnie and Elena both laughed and Elena pulled away from the hug smiling to her friend.
"I was only in my dorm for five minutes before you guys called so I didn't get to see much of it. My roommate is very much American and she's...interesting, I guess. And no last time I spoke to Stefan was before I left." Elena explained.
Caroline sighed slightly at the Stefan part then realized something, "Interesting how?"
"Well..when I walked in she was sleeping. I accidentally woke her I guess. Anyway, I introduced myself and she threatened to cut off my tongue and personally feed it to me if I spoke to her again."
Bonnie groaned, "Perfect. We've got a psycho roommate."
Caroline couldn't help but feel slightly content at this news. She'd been a bit hurt when Bonnie and Elena had announced they would be sharing a room without consulting her first. The two of them had always been closer with each other, that's why she had Stefan, but still a little consideration would have been nice. Caroline tried not to let it bother her and instead focused all her attention on complaining and trying to convince the school board to let her and Stefan be roommates. Sadly there were unavoidable policies against it so she would be stuck with some random stranger. At least hearing that Elena and Bonnie wouldn't be living it up in there dorm together made her feel slightly better about this.
"She might not be that bad, I may have just caught her at a bad time." Elena shrugged.
Caroline nodded in agreement, "That's probably it! I mean have you seen Stefan in the morning? When he's woken up he gets all homicidal."
Bonnie and Elena both giggle at this before Bonnie voices, "Well you do tend to wake him very violently Care."
"Do not!" Caroline argued even though she knew it was true. She quickly averted the topic by turning to Elena with another question, "Meet anyone else? Any cute British boys?"
Elena laughed slightly, "No, not really. There was this one guy but..." she trailed off.
"Well come on, spill the details." Caroline grinned teasingly.
"There's not much to say really. We barely talked." Elena retorted.
Bonnie and Caroline laughed slightly, "Last time you said that you 'barely talked' with someone was last year when you went to Matt's house on New Years and the next day we found out you broke up" Bonnie pointed out.
Elena rolled her eyes but blushed slightly. "Different circumstances Bon. Anyway I met this guy while looking for my dorm room. He bumped into me and helped me pick up my books, but sort of went back and forward from being a jerk after that. And before you ask, to answer your question Caroline, yes he was extremely hot."
The three of them laughed slightly before Caroline questioned, "So, how jerky was he?"
Elena who was still giggling lowly said, "Well let's just say his first response when I asked him where the girl's dorm is was 'Do I look like a map?'."
Elena laughed as if it were funny and not a big deal but Caroline didn't think so. "Oh my god! What a jerk! What did you do? You have to point him out to me next time we see him, he's probably one of those stuck up privileged British brats that Im sure this school is full of! Uh! Life here is gonna suck! All the kids are gonna be snobby jerks and they'll make us eat our lunch in the bathroom and sit in the broken desks at class! Then we'll eventually become depressed start turning on each other, eventually grow to hate life, and then commit suicide!"
Elena and Bonnie exchanged a look before bursting into laughter. If it weren't for Mr. Salvatore's connections with the school board it was unlikely they would have been accepted into the academy. The ridiculous tuition was far too high, and although they should be considered lucky, Caroline's biggest fear was the school would be full of elite snobs who considered themselves above the three friends. Elena and Bonnie didn't share the same worries.
"I think you may be exaggerating a bit Caroline." Bonnie reasoned once she was able to stop laughing.
Caroline simply sighed, "I hate England."
"That makes two of us."
The comment came from the one and only Stefan Salvatore who had just walked into the office unnoticeably.
"STEFAN!" Caroline yelled before running over and hugging him tightly. It had been exactly 10 hours since they had last seen each other-or maybe only 8, Caroline was still confused by how Time Zones worked-but it had felt like an eternity to her.
Stefan chuckled while hugging Caroline back.
"Trying to suffocate me so soon? And to think I thought you were happy to see me." Stefan said while smiling teasingly.
"Shut up you hag!" Caroline replied while giggling and shoving him playfully.
Stefan rolled his eyes and turned to Bonnie and Elena, quickly hugging the both of them before looking back to Caroline.
"So why exactly are you already hating on the homeland of all things British?" He asked curious as to what already had his friend in such a 'The world sucks' mood.
"Because Elena already had a terrible encounter with some hot British jerk." Caroline explained, pouting as she sat back down.
Stefan shrugged, "At least he was hot."
All three girls laughed at this comment.
Caroline couldn't help but think that having her three best friends with her would manage to make the experience bearable.
"Oh. My. God."
The words were muttered by Caroline as she stared in awe at the boy who approached.
"Is that him?"
Elena looked to Stefan quizzically, a similar expression to Caroline's pasted on her face.
"He is much hotter than anticipated." Bonnie decided as she studied the boy.
Caroline nodded in agreement, "Especially considering he's related to Stefan."
Stefan rolled his eyes at his star struck friends as he watched Damon approach.
"Hello Brother." Damon stated with a slight smirk.
"Damon." Stefan said in response offering his brother a smile.
Caroline quickly stepped forward and held out a hand for Damon to shake. "Caroline Forbes."
Damon looked her over quickly before taking her hand and raising it to his lips, laying a gentle kiss on her knuckles and smiling, "Nice to meet you, Caroline."
Caroline could already feel herself blushing. She had met Damon plenty of time before but she wasnt surprised that he had forgotten. The last time they saw each other they had been around 5 or 6. Caroline of course remembered this as she did most events from her childhood.
She finally pulled her hand back and flashed him a bright smile, "Nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about the mischievous Damon Salvatore."
"Spreading rumors about me baby brother?" Damon said, smirking teasingly at Stefan who merely rolled his eyes.
Caroline giggled slightly at the comment.
"And who might these two lovely ladies be?" Damon questioned while glancing towards Bonnie and Elena.
Caroline quickly noticed that his gaze lingered on Elena. She couldn't help but internally groan. Just about every attractive boy she'd ever met had been interested in her only up until they saw Elena. Then they seemed to completely forget about her existence.
She watched as her friend smiled brightly, "I'm Elena. Elena Gilbert to be exact."
Elena then giggled slightly and Caroline frowned as Damon smiled at this.
"Elena." Damon repeated, grinning, "Lovely name."
"Thank you." Elena replied offering him a warm smile.
"And you are?" Damon questioned finally turning to the last of the girls.
"Bonnie." Said girl answered, smiling slightly.
"Where's Clyde?" Damon said with a trademark smirk.
All three girls laughed at this joke though it was obvious none of them found it funny. Especially considering this wasn't the first time they heard it.
Stefan rolled his eyes and looked to his brother, "Mind showing Caroline and I to our dorms?"
"Sure, what about you two?" Damon questioned referring to Bonnie and Elena, but with his gaze was once again focused solely on Elena.
"Elena already found her dorm, no thanks to you. Remember when I called you asking that you help her get there and you assured me that you would?" Stefan stated giving Damon a knowing look.
Damon sighed dramatically, "Wow. That slipped my mind completely. I am so sorry Elena, perhaps I can find some way to repay you."
Elena smiled shaking her head slightly, "Its fine, really."
"Damon? Come on, Care and I need to unpack." Stefan said growing fairly tired of his brother's constant flirting.
"Relax brother." Damon chided before flashing Elena and Bonnie one last smile, "You girls let me know if you need anything. I'm in dorm 235, so you know where to find me."
With that he winked-something Caroline found to be both incredibly hot and annoying at the same time- and turned to Stefan and Caroline.
"Let's go." Damon stated before starting to lead them down the hall.
Caroline glanced back at Bonnie and Elena, giving them a small wave before looking to Damon.
"So, what do you think of Kingston?" She asked slightly curious but mostly just wanting to keep a conversation going.
Damon laughed as if Caroline had just said the joke of the year.
"What's so funny?" Caroline questioned feeling fairly defensive.
"Everybody here thinks the same thing of Kingston: it sucks." Damon stated bluntly while leading Caroline and Stefan down another hall.
"Oh." Caroline said not sure how else to respond.
"I suppose it's not that terrible though." Damon decided.
Caroline smiled slightly at this.
"Well, that's good. You're definitely going to have to give me a tour of the school later." Caroline proclaimed.
"Will do, Blondie." Damon replied with a smirk.
He finally stopped in front of a door and knocked.
"Your roommate is great. You're going to love her." He said with a mischievous grin on his face.
Before the door could open he grabbed Stefan's arm and started leading him down the hall, calling out a simple, "Later Blondie."
Caroline rolled her eyes at the new nickname and turned to the door just as it opened.
"She can't be that bad." Bonnie decided as she walked towards her new dorm, Elena by her side. Her friend had just given her a full fledge warning about their new roommate and Bonnie wasn't sure whether to be worried or scared or maybe a bit of both. But nonetheless she did her best to appear positive.
"She's terrible!" Elena assured her.
This coming from Elena see-the-good-in-everyone Gilbert definitely added to the nervous pit in Bonnie's stomach.
"Well, no matter what Lena we have each other. We'll find a way to get through it, or better yet find a way to switch out roommates." Bonnie vowed, flashing her friend a reassuring smile.
"Right. You're right, I'm sorry for being so negative, the stress of everything is just getting to me." Elena admitted with a sigh.
Bonnie glanced to her friend about to say something else bound to lighten her mood, but that was the moment when her eyes landed on a boy who stood just down the hall.
There was something about him that caught Bonnie's attention. It didn't hurt that he was extremely good looking, but it was more than that.
Bonnie just could't place what it was.
Before she got the chance to look away he turned his head to the side laughing off a joke that the girl who stood beside him had said, and their eyes suddenly locked. His eyes quickly took her in without moving and Bonnie just knew that behind those soft brown iris's there were calculations going on. He was studying her. And when a light smile formed on his face, she suddenly felt out of place.
She wasn't the one people noticed.
She was't the one boys checked out.
She wasn't the one that boys smiled at like that.
Like she had managed to bring him such joy from a single shared look.
"Bon?" Elena called, snapping Bonnie right back into reality.
"Hmm?" Bonnie questioned, finally tearing her gaze away from the mystery boy.
"I asked what you thought of Damon." Elena recalled causing her to realize just how much she had blanked out.
She forced all thoughts of the boy away and considered Elena's question.
Damon was attractive, charming, and appeared to be fairly popular based on his confidence level.
It wouldn't exactly be a leap to assume that most girls fawned over him. But from the moment she had met him, Bonnie had recalled something her Grams had told her oh so many times.
The eyes are the windows to the soul
And there was something in Damon's gorgeous blue eyes that just screamed trouble.
"He's alright I guess." Bonnie finally answered, shrugging lightly.
Elena nodded in agreement and fell back into silence. Silence which allowed even more thoughts of the boy to come flooding in.
His eyes had't been dangerous. They had been...intriguing.
It was at that moment that Bonnie made a decision.
She turned to Elena and with a quick "I'll be right back."
"Excuse me?!"
Caroline had just introduced herself to her new roommate. She suddenly had a feeling that Elena and Bonnie weren't the only ones with...interesting roommates.
"You're Hayley right?" Caroline questioned stepping past the girl and walking into the room.
The girl frowned and closed the door, "Yes, that's what it says on my birth certificate. Now can you please explain to me why you're in my room."
"I already told you, I'm your new roommate." Caroline explained as she began to study the room, shaking her head in disapproval.
"That's not possible. I haven't heard anything about getting a new roommate."
"Well, that's not my fault." Caroline stated shrugging. She began to look at some of the various items scattered across the dresser and nightstand.
"Don't touch my stuff!" Hayley demanded while walking over and grabbing Caroline's arm to stop her from picking up a picture frame of Hayley posing with a tall dark-haired boy.
"Well don't touch me." Caroline fired back before yanking her arm away. "I get that you obviously weren't aware I was coming, but we're gonna have to find some way to make this work."
Hayley glared at Caroline for a minute before storming off, to what Caroline assumed was the bathroom, and slamming the door shut.
Caroline sighed and set her bags onto the neatly made bed that she assumed was for her. As she began to unpack she heard portions of her new roommate's conversation that she assumed was taking place over the phone. Either that, or there was somebody named Nik hiding in their bathroom.
"No Nik, I'm going to kill her!"
Caroline frowned at this comment while continuing to place her stuff on the bed.
"I don't care! Remember what happened with the last one?"
Caroline wondered what exactly did happen to the last one.
"She's even worst. She looks like she stepped out of a Barbie commercial or something."
Caroline couldn't tell whether this was a compliment or insult, but she decided on compliment.
"You're not funny Nik!"
Carline wondered if this Nik person was actually not funny, or if Hayley was just mean.
"I'm going to kill you! Then I'll bury you and Barbie 100 feet underground where no one will ever think to find you."
Caroline contemplated whether burying somebody 100 feet underground was actually possible.
"Ugh, you're disgusting. Sure, I'll just bury you two alive so that way you can make out with your last few dying breaths."
Caroline considered if making out with someone was a good way to use your last few dying breaths.
"I swear to God Nik!"
Caroline thought that swearing was improper but didn't voice this opinion. Instead she took out her iPod and headphones, deciding listening to music was much better than listening to the disturbing conversation her roommate was carrying out. She put on the first song in her playlist which happened to be 'Blank Space' by Taylor Swift. Despite what some said about Taylor, Caroline still cherished her music.
"Got a long list of ex lovers! They'll tell you I'm insane! But I've got a blank space baby! And I'll write your name!" Caroline sang along out of habit while she continued to unpack her things.
Hayley, who had just stepped out of the bathroom, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Caroline's loud singing. None the less she pulled out her phone and began to record the Blonde's performance, figuring it would be great for future blackmail.
Caroline was oblivious to this and continued singing along with Taylor.
That is until she heard Hayley's laughing.
Caroline quickly pulled off the headphones and turned to face Hayley who was grinning while recording the whole event.
"What are you doing!" Caroline shrieked.
"Recording you while you act like a freak." Hayley explained bluntly before finally lowering her phone.
"Why?" Caroline questioned astonished.
"That's for my own knowledge, not yours." Hayley decided before laying down in her bed. "Hurry up with your unpacking, I can't sleep when you're being so loud."
Caroline was shocked and not really sure how to react. So, she eventually settled on leaving the room muttering that she was going for a walk.
She wasn't really sure where she was going, so she walked around blindly, having no specific destination in mind.
"Care?"
Caroline turned and sighed relieved when she saw Stefan.
"Hey Stef. What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in your dorm?" She questioned.
"Didn't exactly make it to my dorm. Damon brought me to the girls bathroom instead, claiming it was my dorm then ran off after shoving me in there. I have to say these British girls are very aggressive."
Caroline couldn't help but laugh at the thought of multiple angry british girls ganging up on her friend.
"I doubt any of them are as aggressive as my roommate. She's plotting out my death, Stef!" Caroline complained while slumping against the wall.
"Wow. Maybe I can help her." Stefan said with a teasing smirk.
Caroline glared at him but couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Alright, well how about this: We go find my idiotic brother and have him take me to my dorm. If my roommate is decent then I'll let you stay in my room for the night. Sound good?"
Carolines smile became wider and brighter at this idea and nodded eagerly, "Sounds perfect."
"Shut up you bloody wanker!" Rebekah yelled as Kol laughed off the comment he had just made.
"Don't act like it's not true Bekah. We all know you've had your fair share of boys." Kol replied, leaning against the vending machine, and shooting his little sister a pointed look.
"None of which have been Nik!" She exclaimed obviously annoyed by the topic of this conversation.
In all fairness, Kol felt that Rebekah and Klaus had always been much too close for siblings, therefore the investigation was very important.
"How sure are you of that?" Kol questioned, smirking slightly at the way his sister was blushing bright red.
"I am done with this conversation." She decided before marching off past him, being sure to shove him a bit in the process.
Kol chuckled and called over his shoulder, "That wasn't an answer!"
Rebekah flashed him a gesture that he was sure many school faculty members would not approve of and he simply laughed it off.
"Excuse me?"
Kol turned his head to the sound of the voice and his eyes landed on her.
"Well, hello Darling." He replied, flashing her one of his signature smiles.
The girl smiled lightly and looked at him expectantly.
"Right, where are my manners, I'm Kol Mikaelson, you are?" He added causing the girl to laugh slightly.
"I am the girl who came here to get a snack, but found that Kol Mikaelson was blocking the vending machine." She explained.
He mentally face palmed as he realized that the girl who he had been admiring from a far a few minutes earlier had no hopes of engaging in conversation with him, but rather just wanted to get to the vending machine that he was leaning against.
"My apologies, Darling." He said, stepping aside so that she had access to the large variety of snacks.
He watched as she grinned, walking over to it and studying the contents. "My name's Bonnie Bennet by the way."
"Bonnie." He repeated testing the name out before smirking, "You know the name is derived from Scotland. It means beautiful, which is definitely fitting."
The girl, Bonnie, blushed lightly, while inserting a dollar into the machine, "And how exactly do you know that?"
"What can I say, I have a thing for lovely names." Kol replied.
In reality Elijah had once gotten him a book filled with name meanings and origins for his birthday.
This had been the main reason why Kol never invited Elijah to his birthday parties anymore.
Bonnie laughed and it was such a beautiful sound, "That's a pretty unique fetish to have."
"Well, I suppose I'm a pretty unique person." Kol decided watching her intently as she clicked the A then the 4 then the 6 causing a package of Sour patch to fall from the machine.
"I'm sure you are." She finally stated, a playful tone seeping into her voice as she bent down and grabbed the package of candy.
Kol watched as she opened up the pack and effortlessly placed a red sour patch in her mouth.
He smirked slightly before commenting, "I hope that you like your men the same way you like your candy."
"Excuse me?" She questioned looking to him slightly confused.
"Oh you know, sour, sweet then gone."
And with that Kol winked at her before walking off towards his dorm room. He couldn't wait to tell his roommate and best friend, Kai Pierce, all about the beautiful and mysterious Bonnie Bennet.
"Blondie?" Damon muttered as he stood in the doorway of his dorm, looking fairly confused as to why Caroline was standing in front of him.
Caroline quickly took in the fact that he was shirtless. The next thing she noticed was the girl who sat on his bed, studying her nails, looking fairly bored.
"Hey, Stefan was just wondering if you could show him to his dorm." Caroline said, a bright smile on her face.
"And why exactly did he send you to ask me? I mean, not that I'm arguing." Damon replied, a smirk appearing on his face as he looked her up and down.
Caroline felt a light blush rise to her cheeks as she smiled nervously, "Stefan, is right down the hall. Your dad called to check in, so he's just talking to him."
Damon nodded in understanding, but Caroline couldn't help but notice something flash through his eyes. Something she had seen so many times, and she was sure had flashed through her own eyes even more. Jealousy.
"So, who's that?" Caroline couldn't help but ask, referring to the girl who still hadn't bothered glancing up.
She had a fairly familiar look to her, yet Caroline knew she had never met her. She had curly dark brown hair that ended a bit past her shoulders. Her eyes were barely visible from where Caroline stood but she could still recognize their soft brown color. Caroline frowned trying to place what made this girl look so familiar and she finally connected it. The girl seemed to resemble Elena.
"Damon." The girl called still looking at her nails as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.
Damon sighed slightly as if he already knew what was coming. "Yes Kitty-Kat?"
"Can you please tell it to not refer to me as a 'That'."
Caroline frowned at the girl's comment quickly picking up on the fact that she was 'it'.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." Caroline tried, offering the girl a smile.
"Great and now it's talking to me." She replied before standing and walking over, "What's going on?"
The questioned was obviously meant for Damon but Caroline took over, "My friends and I are new here."
"And I'm slowly becoming more and more bored with this conversation."
Caroline tried to refrain from rolling her eyes before replying, "Look, I just need Damon to show my friend, his brother, to his dorm room."
"Damon, please tell it that you are not a tour guide and that she should run along to be with the other unimportant people so we can finish up with our very important conversation before I become even more bored and leave."
Caroline couldn't help but grow angry at being referred to as an it again and that was most likely the reason for the next words that came out of her mouth, "Okay, listen up, I don't know who you think you are and quite frankly I don't care, but let me re-introduce myself. My name is Caroline Forbes, I am a person not an it, and if you're too high and mighty to know what an actual person is then go grab a dictionary and figure it out. But what you're not going to do is stand there using Damon as a puppet because you're too stuck up and childish to talk to me! Now I don't care if I just bored you to death and you leave because honestly that's fine by me, just be sure to remember next time we have the luck to interact that I am an actual human being and you should treat me as such!"
By the time she finished her rant Damon looked completely shocked and slightly impressed at her. The other girl remained expressionless and quiet for a few moment as if thinking before responding.
"Well if you're not an it just remember I'm not a that. Katherine Pierce, by the way. I suppose it's nice to meet you Caroline Forbes, good to know you're not a door mat like the other two idiots that have joined us here."
Katherine gave her a small smile that seemed surprisingly genuine and Damon seemed even more shocked by this.
"Oh um" Caroline was slightly surprised but quickly brushed it off with an award wining smile, "Nice to meet you too then Katherine. Sorry if I interrupted you two"
Katherine laughed slightly then scoffed as if that thought was amusing, "More like you saved me from having to deal with this any longer." Katherine motioned to Damon before turning to him, "Damon, be a dear and show Caroline and her friend to his room. I have two psychos to deal with, I still expect you to fix that" With that Katherine brushed past Damon kissing him on the cheek before sauntering down the hall, her heels clicking loudly as she disappeared down a corridor. Caroline turned to see Damon looked completely stunned, but was smiling like an idiot.
"Hey guys, everything okay?"
The questioned was asked by Stefan who walked over looking a bit upset. Caroline immediately made a mental note to ask what exactly his father had said.
"Everything is perfect. Now come on little bro, time to show you to your room." Damon said flashing Stefan a smile before closing the door to his dorm and walking down the hallway.
Stefan and Caroline exchanged a look before following after the older Salvatore brother.
"So Blondie, what'd you think of your roommate?" Damon questioned while leading them to where Caroline hoped Stefan's dorm was.
"She's sort of exactly what I imagine the spawn of satan to be like, but she's cool I guess." Caroline decided with a shrug.
Damon chuckled, "The spawn of satan? Guess you haven't met Klaus yet."
"Klaus? As in Stefan's roommate? " Caroline questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep. Klaus Mikaelson. He's the school's biggest jerk yet he still manages to get all the girls to hook up with him. Pretty impressive. He's one of my role models." Damon explained, a smirk playing on his lips.
Stefan merely rolled his eyes but Caroline right away scoffed.
"Seriously? He sounds like a complete and total loser. Guys that just use girls and then toss them to the side like that get nowhere in life! They eventually end up as old lonely people with no one by their side and it's only then that they realize how wrong they used to be."
Both Damon and Stefan looked to Caroline surprised by her words. Caroline accounted her rant as a result of being used by several guys just like 'Klaus'. The three stood in silence for a minute before Damon motioned to the dorm they had stopped in front of.
"We're here."
Caroline couldn't help but blush at the ramble she had just given and just nodded to Damon before turning to Stefan and giving him a quick hug.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow okay? Good luck with your roommate."
Caroline hadn't forgotten that the original plan was for her to meet Stefan's roommate and then hopefully stay in their dorm. But after the events that had just occurred she figured her and Klaus wouldn't get off to a very good start and she didn't want to be the reason that Stefan and his roommate ended up fighting.
Stefan, who had most likely figured out what his friend's motives were, simply nodded before pulling back and kissing her cheek.
"Try to get some sleep okay Care?"
"You too. Call me if you need anything." Caroline replied with a warm smile.
Stefan smiled back before glancing to Damon, "Thanks for the help."
Damon simply smirked, "That's what brothers are for, right?"
Stefan rolled his eyes slightly before turning to the door and knocking.
Caroline turned around right away starting to walk back towards her dorm, not wanting to be there when the jerk opened the door.
"Mind if I walk you to your dorm?" Damon questioned, suddenly appearing by the blonde's side.
"You don't have to." Caroline commented not wanting to inconvenience him any further and mostly wanting to get to her dorm and go to sleep.
It had certainly been a long day for her. She had spent most of the morning in tears while bidding some last minute goodbyes to her friends. She had even cried while saying goodbye to Tyler who, despite being incredibly annoying, had become a part of her life. The hardest goodbye was not surprisingly her mother. Despite the complicated relationship they had Caroline still loved her greatly, and the thought that she wouldn't see her again until Christmas was completely heartbreaking.
"Hello? Earth to Blondie." Damon stated pulling Caroline out of her thoughts.
"Sorry what?" Caroline asked, feeling embarrassed that she had just missed what he said.
"I asked if you and Stefan had a thing." Damon explained.
Caroline looked to him with complete disgust.
"Excuse me while I go vomit. Ugh! He's practically like my brother. More a brother to me than he is to you." She explained while still cringing at the idea of being anything more than Stefan's friend.
Damon chuckled and looked to her, "So you two have never kissed or well, you know."
Caroline looked to him confused, "No I don't."
"You know," Damon repeated giving her a knowing look.
Caroline groaned and shoved him while he laughed.
"God Damon, seriously?" Caroline said rolling her eyes.
"I'm just curious. I mean I don't see how someone can be just friends with a girl as stunning as you." He stated while smirking.
Caroline rolled her eyes again but couldn't help but grin at the compliment, "Well, Stefan and I are exactly that. Just friends. And thats all we'll ever be."
Damon nodded in understanding as they finally reached her door, "I'll take that as a good sign."
"And why is that?" she asked leaning against the door and turning to face him. She suddenly didn't feel in the mood to deal with her homicidal roommate so any distraction was welcome.
"Well, I might feel just a tad jealous if my brother was hooking up with the new prettiest girl in school before I even got my chance at winning her affections." Caroline tried to seem annoyed by this but she immediately felt her cheeks heat up as she blushed brightly.
"Lucky you then, considering Stefan and I are nothing more then friends." She finally said, a grin playing on her lips.
"Lucky me." Damon repeated with a smirk that suited him undeniably well.
They stood there in a silence that fell on the line between awkward and comfortable. Caroline could not deny that Damon was incredibly good looking. She looked down at his lips for just a split second before glancing back to his eyes. His eyes seemed to be an endless ocean of blue that held a tint of danger in them.
Damon took a few steps closer until he had Caroline pinned to the door.
She could already see where this was headed and the first thought that ran through her mind was I can't wait to tell Bonnie and Elena.
The thought that immediately followed was Stefan is totally going to kill me.
None the less Caroline didn't hesitate when Damon's lips met hers, pulling her into a slow passionate kiss. She placed her hands on the back of his neck, pulling him closer to her as they kissed carelessly. She knew it was wrong to be kissing her best friend's brother who she had only just been reacquainted with, but it certainly didn't feel wrong as Damon's hands slid down the side of her body, resting at her waist.
And as much as she didn't want the moment to end, she soon felt Damon pulling away.
Their eyes met for a brief second and he smirked, "Welcome to Kingston."
And with that he was walking away leaving Caroline both speechless and giddy as his words repeated through her head.
Welcome to Kingston.
