Thank you to all who faved followed and reviewed.

Chapter 4

"You better watch out, you floozy. Do not for even a second think that you can beat me. I will make you pay. You better be ready for it." Tatia warned. Then pushed Caroline away and sauntered off.

As soon as Tatia left all the attention on Caroline also shifted away. Everyone in the cafe who was a minute ago very much interested in Caroline's life went back to ignoring her, much to her relief. She turned to leave but collided with Tatia? No she looked like Tatia but her hair was different a shade darker and more curly. She smiled at Caroline.

"Relax. I am her twin sister. Katherine."

"Oh. So do you also have to spout off some nonsense before I leave?" Caroline asked still feeling peeved.

"Oh no. Contrary to it in fact. Walk with me." she entangled her arm around Caroline's and before she could protest Katherine was pulling Caroline towards the hallways.

"Um wait." she extricated herself. "What do you want?" Caroline and Katherine now stood outside the cafeteria.

"Won't you ask me why haven't you seen me before?"

"I couldn't care less." Caroline gave a tight smile.

Katherine laughed now. "Nice. I like you. I just know we will be best friends."

"I doubt that…" Caroline muttered.

Katherine continued, "Actually my sister got my parents to send me away to boarding school some eight months ago. We actually take sibling rivalry to a new level. Yay us! Anyway now I am back and I need to show my DNA donors I am doing awesome in my studies. A stupid condition for me to stay here otherwise they will jet me back to London….."

"Look I am sure this leads to some amazing tearjerker where all the high school will feel sorry for you and think you are uber cool or something but I'm sorry I'm not interested." Caroline turned away but Katherine blocked her path.

"Look I just need your help. I heard you tutor and you are a straight A getting nerd.." Caroline lifted a brow when she used the word "nerd" .

"I mean a really cute one. Though your roots could use some work. And oh girl these nails. You need a mani asap." Katherine was inspecting Caroline's nails now.

"Hey my nails are fine." Caroline stated snatching away her hands but gave an inspecting look to her nails before letting go when she saw Katherine almost laughing. Caroline glared at her.

"Okay. Okay. Just please help me with my grades and I'll make sure my sister stays away from you."

"I'm not afraid of her. I can handle her."

"I know I saw. But you don't know Tatia she is a mean girl of a different and diabolical sort. And I know you'd rather that your time here in the school went by without any memorable events. I know you want to just focus on your studies. So we can mutually benefit each other." Katherine made a convincing argument. Caroline did not want any more drama. She just wanted to spend the rest of her time here focusing on her studies so she could apply to a well-reputed college in future.

"Uhhh. Fine. I'll think about it." Caroline acquiesced and Kat let out an excited sound.

"I told you I just knew we would be besties." and she again took Caroline's arm and began walking with her to the class.

:::::::::::;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

His hands crept beneath her skirt and she swatted it away but damn his mouth was something else. She moaned when he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. He groped her ass and her breath hitched. He murmured a very lewd suggestion in her ear and she giggled while panting.

"Tatia." Klaus's voice broke away the haze of lust clouding her mind. She immediately pushed him away. Mason saw Klaus standing in front of them looking bored and a little disgusted.

"Klaus. My man. We were just." Mason tried to explain why he had been groping Tatia but Klaus shut him up, "I don't care. I just need to talk to Tatia for a second."

Tatia had thought he might be furious or a bit jealous. Making out with Mason at the bleachers of football field was meant to do just that. But Klaus looked anything but jealous, she inwardly bristled at his indifference.

"Don't go anywhere Mas." she deliberately used a nickname. She climbed down two steps and stood level with Klaus. "What?"

"I heard what you did at lunch." he remarked, a muscle ticking in his jaw, let her know he was furious but for an entirely different reason.

"So?"

"So if you ever try to pull any other nasty thing like that with her. Trust me you'll regret it."

"By her you mean your blonde bitch?"

"Watch it." he took a menacing step forward and she had the brains to back away.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes. And you better heed it or.."

"Or what?"

"You haven't been on my bad side so do not take my threats lightly. I have better tricks up my sleeve than to throw your lunch and humiliate you in public." with the last word Klaus left.

Tatia huffed. Never had she felt more slighted or incensed. Klaus was now threatening her for that geek slut. She would never tolerate this. They will pay. Both of them, she decided and went back to Mason.

"Will you do something for me?" she bit her lower lip and pouted a little. All the while leaning forward so his eyes were fixed on her cleavage.

"Of course anything." she wasn't expecting any other answer from Mason because she knew he was obsessed with her.

"Good." a self satisfied smile took over her face.

A week had went by with Caroline's feelings in an emotional blender of misery and nervousness. Whenever she saw Klaus in school he would just look through her as if she did not exist and then the blender would run on misery mode. And whenever Joe took tutorials for the Quiz the blender would operate at agitation mode.

Caroline was now desperate to apologize to Klaus. She had been way out of line and being a person who loved walking the line it was messing up with her math mojo, as Lexi had so succinctly informed her that her Math mojo was off game.

She spotted Klaus heading for the school lockers as she entered the main hallways and followed him.

He stood with a friend of his. She knew he was Marcel. He was also on the team.

A young kid with glasses and a spiderman bag stood shaking in front of Klaus and his were laughing while the kid said something. Disgusting, so Klaus and his friend were bullying the poor kid. Teeth clenched and hands fisted she marched to them.

::::;;;;;;;;;;;;

"Look Lucas. We appreciate the offer but we don't need your help." Klaus remarked and Marcel laughed lightly.

"I.. I ….. just.." Poor Lucas was shaking like a leaf. Klaus was just about to reassure him when a familiar voice had him back away. The voice that was a sweet torment for him much like it's owner.

"What do you think you are doing?" she demanded.

Marcel saw Caroline charge at them like an avenging angel. He laughed again and coughed, "Missus" to Klaus. Klaus threw him a glare and elbowed his gut. Marcel "ow-ed" and rubbed his abdomen.

She looked so magnificent in a light pink shirt and a blue denim skirt with her golden curls tumbling over her shoulders. Klaus felt the usual punch of heat he always experienced in her presence. It both pleasured and annoyed him.

She appeared to be pissed off at him at the moment and it irritated Klaus too.

Gosh would he ever not look handsome. She just wished they would go back to being "friends" or whatever they were so could she see him smile at her and not glare at her angrily.

"What do you think we are doing?" his voice a little gruff. She hadn't talked to him for a week and when finally she was, she was yet again irate at him.

"Stop bullying him. Just because he is weaker than you, you think you can bully him?"

Klaus felt himself getting more aggravated and dejected, so that's what she actually thought of him. He swallowed his emotions and addressing Lucas he asked, "Lucas. Is that what we were doing?"

"Lucas. You don't have to be afraid of them." she glowered at Klaus and smiled at Lucas. While Marcel silently enjoyed the whole scenario.

"I...I was.. just asking … them to ...take … me on the...team. And they ..they said other players would … not like it, so I … I offered to help manage… team's schedule, sort of as an assistant." Lucas stammered.

"We were actually trying to let him down easy, so others on the team don't bully him." Marcel added when Klaus stubbornly refused to explain himself and continued to stare at Caroline. Caroline felt embarrassed now, her cheeks pink.

"Then why the hell were you shaking?" she asked Lucas. Lucas was even more frightful now, he actually jumped at Caroline's question. "Never mind." she rolled her eyes. She turned towards Klaus now wanting to apologize but he took his backpack from his locker and without a single glance at her, left. Marcel winked at her and followed his friend. Lucas left too leaving her standing alone, feeling like a fool.

;:;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Caroline was picking at her plate of spaghetti while Katherine gorged on hers like a beast, as they sat side by side in Caroline's living room.

"Mmm. This is so delish. I could inhale a whole bowl of it. Your mom is a cooking whiz. At first I used to come to your house because I actually wanted to study but now it's just cuz of your mom's cooking...Mmmmm…" Katherine exclaimed over a mouthful of spaghetti. "Hey! What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I don't feel like eating much."

Katherine made a greedy face. "Good. Can I have yours?"

"Sure." Caroline pushed her plate towards Katherine.

Katherine quickly gobbled it up then wiping her face with a napkin asked again, "What happened? Is it my sister? Did she do anything?"

"No. She didn't. Surprisingly she is staying away from me although she gives me killing looks whenever we cross each other." Caroline gathered the plates and went to the kitchen. Katherine took the glasses and followed her.

"You can trust me." Katherine offered.

Caroline remained mute for a few seconds as if debating whether she should tell Katherine or not then. Then sighed, "There is this guy…"

"Guy? What guy? You know if you ever want my attention you have to start your sentence just with that and I am all ears." Katherine sidled closer.

"It's just I misunderstood his intentions and I know I should say sorry and I actually went to him to do that exactly but I ended up making up an even a bigger mess. And now I am wondering maybe it's better this way."

"Why?"

"Because we are nothing alike and I think if we were meant to be ….. friends, things wouldn't be this hard."

"Do you like him?" Katherine asked when she saw Caroline was about to protest she added, "I meant not like like but is he a nice guy."

"He is. He has this tough exterior but he is a sweet and caring and…"

"And you love him?" Kat finished Caroline's sentence.

"What? No. No. I don't love him. I … just … we.."

When Caroline fumbled Katherine gave her a laughing look. "Oh for heaven's sake we have only talked to each other for a couple of times. And even when he came to my place…"

"Uhhh. You dirty girl. He was here?" Katherine wiggled her eyebrows.

"Yes. But it wasn't anything like that. I was helping him with studies just like…"

"Oooo. Naughty teacher. Rawr." Katherine mimicked a cat's purr at the end.

"Kat would you stop interrupting?" Caroline remarked.

"Sorry." Kat gave Caroline a sheepish look and then after a few seconds both began laughing.

"Honestly I don't know what we are. Are we friends or does he have feelings for me, I don't know. But I know I was completely out of line when I accused him wrongfully. And I want to apologize but it's just so hard. Pfft." she blew out a breath.

"Look in my opinion if you are sorry and want to apologize then you should. And as for the rest sometimes things aren't meant to be and sometimes they are, and if they are there is always a way." Katherine stated looking a little wistful.

"Why do I get the feeling this has more to do with you than me?" Caroline observed.

"Maybe it does." Kat smirked at her making her laugh.

"Thanks for the advice though. Also if you ever need me I'm here for you." Caroline offered now.

"I'll keep it in mind. But for now is there anymore spaghetti left?" Kat asked and Caroline laughed again.

"What hoe? I'm serious." Kat playfully smacked her and Caroline smacked her back, which caused them both to erupt in peels of laughter.

::::::::;;;:::;::::;;:::::::::::::

Klaus kicked off the ball, it hit the net and the coach's voice boomed, "Good job boy. Good job. Marcel, Lockwood, Donovan give me another ten laps and the rest of you hit the showers."

He took off his helmet and shook his head. He jogged off the field and was directed towards the gym when Caroline intercepted him.

He hid his surprise and lifted a brow. By now he was used to the way he felt lust churning inside him whenever she was close.

Caroline felt her confidence shaking a little, now that he stood in front of her. He waited for her say to something. The intensity of his blue eyes, did weird fluffy things inside her stomach.

"Uh. I want to talk to you." she stated.

"Okay." he replied. Still just staring at her.

"Someplace else please."

He nodded and led her to the yard behind the bleachers.

"Klaus I actually came to apologize. I am so sorry for hitting you and blaming you for bullying Lucas. I shouldn't have…"

"It's okay. You're forgiven." he interrupted her speech.

Klaus knew she was saying sorry because she was a good person at heart and also because she felt obliged to him for saving her. But he also knew what she thought of him. And he couldn't deal with her thinking less of him especially he had all these weird feelings for her. So he shall do what she had asked of him, stay away from her.

He stopped her in the middle of her apology and was about to leave. She blocked his path, "Are you still mad at me?"

"No. I am not." he looked away. Her flowery scent and her proximity was a bit too much for him. His hands itched to grab her close to him.

"Then why didn't you let me finish? I am sorry."

"Okay. I accept." he side stepped intending to leave. She grasped his arm. They stared at each other for a few seconds and then she did something that surprised the hell out of them both. She leaned up and kissed him. A gentle nudge of her lips with his at first but it turned volatile when he kissed her back. Her lips tingled and her body electrified as his arms closed around her waist. She moaned and he breathed her name. It was utter pleasure.

And just like that she pulled back and was about to walk away. This time he blocked her way.

She licked her lips, it shot a jolt of electricity through him. His heart beating in his head, the desire so potent. He whispered, "Caroline?"

She glanced at him, as if transfixed she caressed his jaw, and had him close his eyes and savor the moment. Then she pulled back again, she walked a few feet away then turned back and sighed, "I expect you'll be back for the tuition."

Klaus smiled and nodded at her before she turned around the corner and disappeared.
