Here we are, Chapter 4! Elena is still stuck in the never ending monday. ;)

At least this time she can talk with our favorite blonde vampire (no, it's not Rebekah ;))

Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries.


Stefan insisted on walking Elena to her next class, literature. It was Elena's favorite one, so this time she could really follow what Mrs. Johnson was saying without being distracted by Kol. This was the first class, that Elena was without any of her friends and she didn't want Kol to talk to her.

Mrs. Johnson told them about a great project that they would be working on for the rest of the semester, but she would explain the specifics tomorrow and Elena was really curious about it. When the class was over, she wanted to hurry to meet with Caroline for Study Hall.

"Finally, you're alone." Elena sighed as she realized that it was Kol.

"Unfortunately not." She spat and took her bag. She walked around him and heard him laugh.

"Oh come on, darling. I don't know anyone here. Do you want me to spend the break all alone?" He pouted.

"Why don't you compel yourself a friend?" She smiled bittersweetly at him and left a smirking Kol behind.

Elena called Caroline and asked her, where she was. They met by the lockers and Bonnie joined them a little later. "So, was he there?" Bonnie asked.

Elena nodded and both of her best friends sighed. Just as Caroline wanted to say something, probably find a logical explanation that it was just a coincidence, an angry looking Stefan pressed a sheet of paper at Elena's hand.

Elena frowned and started reading.

"Oh, my god." She breathed.

"What is it?" Bonnie asked and Stefan scoffed, "It's Kol's schedule or should I say Elena's."

"Crap." Caroline muttered looking alarmed.

Elena still looked at her, no Kol's schedule and tried to hide the fear that was creeping up inside of her. It had been enough that one original was controlling her life. But now here she was, somehow she had managed to be the in the focus of another original with stalker tendencies. She felt like she had no privacy anymore, every part of her life was dominated by this damned family.

"Elena, sweety?" She heard Caroline's soft voice and snapped out of her dark thoughts. "Hm?"

"You're going to be fine. We won't let him hurt you." She said.

"Besides there are only two classes that you have alone with him, so don't worry." Bonnie added in a confident voice. Elena nodded at them, but didn't really process their words.

"Come on, let's go." Caroline's arm slipped into Elena's and they left to sit in their usual table in the library.

"Excuse me, ladies. Do you mind if I join you?"

Elena groaned and Caroline used her best mean girl voice to reply. "Actually, yes, we would very much mind it. Why don't you go over there." She pointed at the far end. "And try not to eavesdrop on our conversation. Or don't even look our way."

Kol just smirked and cocked his head to the side. "Now I understand what my brother sees in you. You're feisty. We all love a challenge, don't we." He winked at Elena, who rolled her eyes. She was so fed up with the arrogance of vampires. Caroline opened her mouth to give a witty response but nothing came out, so she closed it again and snorted. Kol just laughed and walked over to the table that Caroline had pointed at.

"Gosh, he's so damn arrogant." Caroline muttered. "Compared to him, you could call Damon modest."

Elena laughed. "I think, that's a little bit too much, Care. Even compared to the huge egos of the originals, Damon is hardly anywhere near modest." She thought about all the times Damon tried to convince her that she desired him and she was just scared to admit it. No, it didn't matter to whom you compared him, he would never be the modest one.

Caroline shrugged. "Yeah, you're probably right, but that guy is bad news. He tried to kill Matt."

Elena nodded, but then she frowned. "Do you know why he did it?"

Caroline seemed confused. "He's a vampire, he doesn't need a reason to hurt people."

Elena laughed at the hypocrisy in her words but didn't say anything. Caroline was nothing like the others, yes when she first turned she killed someone, but now she was able to control the urges better than Stefan. Elena was proud of her, she had never thought that Caroline had so much strength in her.

"Yeah, you're right. He is Klaus' and Rebekah's brother." Elena muttered.

Caroline smiled at her. "What?" Elena asked.

"It's so funny how you leave Elijah out, every time." She just said.

Elena took a deep breath. "Well, Elijah is nothing like them. He is good."

Caroline rolled her eyes. "He betrayed you. He promised to kill Klaus, but he saved him. If he was really good, then Klaus would be dead for months now."

Elena shook her head. "No. It's not that easy. He wanted revenge on Klaus because he thought the rest of his family was gone for good. But when Klaus told him that they were safe and that he would return them to Elijah, he couldn't just kill the only person that knew where they were. I understand him and I would have done the exact same thing, if the roles were reversed. You would, too. There is nothing more important than family."

Caroline looked taken a back from Elena's speech. "Yeah, I know that. But he is still an original. Just because he is noble and loves his family, doesn't mean you have to trust him unconditionally."

"Why are we even talking about this?" Elena said shaking her head. "I would much rather talk about you dancing with Klaus."

Caroline blushed and looked down at her book. "So?" Elena asked curiously. She had wanted to ask her that since this morning. "What's the deal with you and him?"

"There is no deal, ok?!" Caroline burst out. "He sent me an invitation and the dress, we danced, he showed me his own paintings and I accused him of being an ass for siring hybrids. That's all. There is nothing going on between him and me. There can't be. He is the bad guy, the one who is tormenting every single one of us, especially my boyfriend and my best friend."

Elena smiled warmly at her. "Hey, calm down." And Caroline took a deep breath. She reached into her back and handed Elena a small piece of yellowish paper. There was a drawing of Caroline's face and a horse. It looked really beautiful. But then Elena saw a writing on the corner. 'Thank you for your honesty, Klaus'

"Wow, that's.." Elena started. "Creepy." Caroline ended the sentence for her and put the drawing back into her bag.

"Don't worry about it, Care." Elena said calmly. "Anyway, I have to do the calculus homework that was due today."

Caroline laughed and they both got to work.


Next Chapter, 6. Period : Creative Writing.. do you think that one of Elena's friends will be there? Or will Kol finally get his chance to talk to her alone?
