A/N: Hey guys! I am truly sorry I'm a day late. I'm in summer camp and I went to a waterpark, so I was really tired and went to sleep early forgetting about posting a new chapter. But I'm posting one now so enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TVD OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS!
It's been a weeks since the party and Caroline hasn't talked to Stefan. She wants to, she just doesn't know how. Elena told her that Stefan feels really bad for how he talked to her, he also doesn't know how to approach her or what to say. Stefan doesn't really believe in apologies when it comes to arguing about bug things. He thinks that people should do something to prove they're sorry, not just say it. It's also been a week since she's talked to Klaus. In all honesty, she sort of liked him, she just feels like she's not ready for a relationship just yet.
Caroline was on her way to drama class when she was bumped by Marcel and her books went flying.
"Oh, Caroline! I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." He said picking up her books and handing them to her.
"It's ok Marcel. Where are you headed thats got you all distracted?"
"Drama class. I'm majoring in that and computer science and I've heard the teachers a total dick."
"No way! Me too. Well not the computer science, I'm majoring in drama and minoring in psychology. But computer science sounds really cool. Do you like it?"
"Yeah, its pretty interesting. Do you wanna walk together to class?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Hey Caroline. Is Stefan ok?" Marcel asked trying to change the subject.
"I don't know. Why do ask?" Caroline said suddenly feeling very guilty.
"Because he's been looking depressed and I don't really know him that well, so I didn't want to seem nosy."
"Well- um- we haven't really talked."
"Oh, Ok." They finally got to class and sat down. A few minutes later, the drama teacher got there and immediately started talking about method acting.

"Stefan, ahh, stop."Bonnie heard Elena say laughing while Stefan ticked her as she went into their room.
"You two are so cute!" Stefan stopped at the sound of their best friend.
"Hey Bon."
"Hey Bonnie. Have you seen Caroline, I though her class ended like 15 minutes ago." Elena asked.
"She texted me to say that she was gonna walk around campus."
"Why?" Stefan asked curiously. He couldn't help but think she was still mad at him. They never fought, so this was very new to Stefan.
"She has to take a meaningful picture for her photography class which is due tomorrow and she has no idea what to take it of." Bonnie said.
"She can take one of us, we are her best friends." Elena told Bonnie.
"Nope, her teacher said no friends or family. She wants them to take a picture of a place.
"That sucks." Stefan said.
"Yeah, it does. Have you talked to her though?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"No… I was planning on doing it when I came but she's not here and I still don't know what to do."
"You'll figure something out Stef, You always do." Elena said rubbing her boyfriends back.
"I hope so. I have to go to my room, my class starts in 30 minutes and I have to walk a lot."
He kissed Elena's check and left.

Klaus just got out of his art class and was taking a small walk when he bumped into someone.
"Seriously, whats with me today! Sorry…" It was Caroline's voice and she sounded very annoyed. She looked up and looked at Klaus apologetically.
"Klaus. Sorry- I… um, Bumped into you."
"Its quite alright, love." Klaus said awkwardly. He hasn't seen her since last weeks party. He was at least hoping to see her in his dorm talking to Stefan, but she hasn't gone. Maybe she was avoiding him, he thought. He was also thinking about her non-stop. So much he was sketching what was going to be a lake with many trees and bushes, came out to be Caroline at the party. He immediately put the sketch in his drawer hoping Stefan wouldn't find it and question him. And even though she rejected him, he was very determined to get her to go out with him.
"Well, I have a picture to take so I'll um- see you around, I guess. Bye Klaus." With that she turned and left him with many questions.

Caroline was walking. To where? She didn't know. All she did was walk to where her feet led her. She looked around and smiled. There were a few trees and bushes and a lot of grass and it looked peaceful and Caroline loved it. She sat on the grass and let the sun hit her face. She immediately thought of Mystic Falls when things were right in her life. When she was just a little girl and her mom and dad were still together even though she loves Steven, when she was friends with Elena, Bonnie, and Stefan, when she wasn't hurt by Damon, when she didn't know Klaus and he didn't change her thoughts or believes. This place was nice and peaceful. The she remembered what she was doing. Caroline sighed, got up, took out her camera and snapped a picture. She took out her index cards and starting writing what this place meant to her with a tiny smile on her face.

"I hope Care is ok. She's seemed tense since the party." Bonnie said after she finished typing her essay saying why she chose to be a teaching major.
"Yeah, I mean I know she's sad about Stefan and she feels bad the she denied Klaus and now school. College isn't supposed to this stressful. Its supposed to be fun," Elena said while she put her highlighter down and sat up.
"Speaking of, is it just me or would you totally love her and Klaus together?" Bonnie said excitedly.
"OMG. Yeah, I really thought that was just me. And she's totally thinking about him sometimes."
"Yeah. I think we should get her and him to get together. She's just too stubborn to admit that she likes him."
"Yeah. And I can call Stefan to encourage Klaus to try and persuade her mom. Stef did say he knew Klaus years ago." Elena told Bonnie.
"Alright, Its a plan."

Caroline was walking to her dorm building, when she saw Stefan's building. She decided to stop stressing about at least one thing and finally talk to Stefan. So she walked in, found his dorm and knocked. Stefan opened the door and looked surprised.
"Oh… Care, um- what are you doing here?" She looked over his shoulder and saw that Marcel and Klaus were talking.
"Can we talk? Privately?" He turned around to look at Marcel and Klaus then turned back to Caroline.
"Sure." He closed the door and there was an awkward silence.
"I'm so sorry." They both blunted out at the same time.
"You don't have to apologize Care, I was the one who was being a jerk and said those awful things."
"Yeah, but it was me who avoided you for the past week. And I wasn't mad of what you said. Your right I should move on, I just- I don't know how. And to be honest, I don't know what a real relationship is. What if this new guy hurts me like Damon?"
"He won't. I promise you this."
"You cant promise something you have no control over Stef."
"But I will have control over it. Because is he hurts you, I'll kill him."
"Aww. Thats sweet. Even though there is no guy."
They hugged and Caroline was the one who pulled away.
"We're good now?"
"Of course we are."
"Good. I have to go to my dorm. I haven't been there since 3 and its almost 9. Bye Stef. Love You!"
"Love you too, Care." With that, Stefan opened his door and went to his room to see Klaus.
"Who was that mate?"
"Caroline, we had a little fight, but we're over it now." Stefan looked at his phone and he saw he got a text from Elena. He instantly smiled.
Klaus was thinking about his conversation with Marcel earlier about getting Caroline and he had an idea.
"Stefan would you do me a favor?"
"Depends on the favor."
"Would you give me Caroline's phone number?"
"Why would you need it?" Stefan asked with a small smile since he knew why, but tried to look serious.
Klaus smirked "I'm gonna get Caroline to go on a date with me."
A/N: Anyone else loving how Elena, Bonnie, and Stefan are tying to get Caroline with Klaus? Or how He's so determined to date Caroline?
