Caroline woke bright and early the next morning, her alarm going off at 6:30am, just like always. No matter how late she was out, she still made sure she was always up early. There was always too much to do throughout the day, why would she waste it with sleeping? Especially when she had packing left to do, and she had decided as she was dozing off the night before that she should at least get all of the assignments she had due next week done before she had to leave. At least that way she would e able to enjoy her time in New Orleans, not have to worry about if she was going to have time to get her work done. She didn't want her work to suffer because she wanted to go exploring. She was Valedictorian after all, just because she was in college didn't mean she could slip.

As quietly as she could Caroline grabbed her towel and walked towards the bathroom, snatching up her clothes for the day from where she had laid them on her dresser the night before. Since she knew Elena wasn't going to be up for another hour Caroline liked to take her time in the shower. The temperature of the water never mattered, she just liked to feel the spray hitting her and the clean feeling when she washed her hair and the soap ran down her body. It was such a human sensation and it helped Caroline forget about all the supernatural problems in her life.

Once she had decided that she was sufficiently clean and relaxed Caroline shut off the water and wrapped her towel around her. She plugged the hairdryer in as she pressed the button on her phone to unlock it and check if she had missed any calls or text messages; it was mostly out of habit. It was still only 7:15am and she didn't expect there to be anyone really awake, let alone texting her.

Caroline's eyebrows rose a little when she noticed that there was a text message on her phone. Once she had swiped the screen she was even more surprised that it was Klaus who had been texting her, especially since the text had been sent almost half an hour ago. He went months without contacting her and now he's texting her two days in a row? What was he up to? The text was innocent enough, all it said was you're basic, 'Good morning, love.' The only problem was, Caroline wasn't really sure how to respond to the message, or if she should. Who knew what he was up to and Caroline didn't have time to deal with it. Shaking it off for the time being Caroline just put her phone back down on the bathroom counter and turned the hairdryer on and proceeded to do her hair. She could worry about Klaus later, when Elena was awake and they could figure out if it was better to ignore him or not.

By the time Caroline had finished drying her hair and getting dressed, Elena was up and sitting in bed, blood bag in hand. "Morning," Caroline greeted her friend as she walked past Elena and to the mini fridge where she snatched up her own vampire juice box. "Morning," Elena greeted back as she finished off her breakfast and disposed of it on her way to the shower.

With nothing better to do until Elena got out of the shower Caroline finished rummaging through her dresser. Now that she was well rested she didn't think she really needed Elena to help her pick out what to take. It wasn't like her friend dressed her in the morning; she was more than capable of packing everything she wanted to take with her. Besides, she could always bring another bag if she wanted, she could just keep it on her lap or something. Or she could Google the best way to pack everything you wanted in a little bag.

With that final plan in mind Caroline opened a search on her phone and replaced her suitcase on her bed so she could pack. Once she knew the best way to pack it only took about 20 minutes for her to get everything she wanted packed and her suitcase was zipped up and sitting at the foot of her bed, ready to be snatched up first thing in the morning and taken to the bus she would be taking with the other members of her class.

Since she had everything done, Caroline took the opportunity to get to class early and get a good seat in the front. Klaus' text now totally forgotten to Caroline. Since Elena didn't have class until later Caroline merely knocked on the door and yelled through, letting Elena know she was heading out and then closed the dorm room door behind her. The halls were less than crowded, but by no means empty. There weren't many people who were willing to take early morning classes so the only people who were really awake were the few who were. Caroline was actually surprised the first day she showed up in class and noticed how many people were actually in her class. She would have figured most would have passed up the early class, especially first year students. Then again, it was still only the first week, plenty of time for people to drop the class.

When Caroline got to the classroom she was surprised to see there were a few people there, scattered about. She had half expected the place to be empty, but then again, it was only about 10 minutes before class, it would make sense for there to be a few early birds. She was pleased to see there were quite a few seats left in the front of the room and she chose a seat near the middle and pulled out a clip board and her pen. Why the professor didn't let them bring their laptop was beyond ridiculous to her.

Within minutes the classroom was filing up with more and more students. It was almost funny to Caroline, you could tell most o the people in the room had only just recently woken up and had dragged themselves to class. Yes, there was a good chance the room was going to thin out more and more throughout the year. Some people just weren't made to be inn class this early, especially when there were so many parties to attend at night.

After the first night Caroline and Elena had thought it best to pass on the parties, it was too risky and most of the frat houses had owners. It wasn't like they were going to be able to get in without coming off as weird or setting off alarms for people. They couldn't be sure that there weren't other people who knew about vampires on a campus of hundreds.

Finally the classroom quieted down as the Professor made her entrance and began the class. Caroline settled in for a boring lecture as the Professor started and found her mind wandering back to the text from that morning, her mind turning into a whirlwind of indecision again.

Did she text him back or not?
