Just as Caroline announced, there came Elena and Stefan walking together down the hall towards them.

Bonnie looked at her friend.

"What?" she asked.

Bonnie just looked at her. "How- How did you do did you do that?" she finally asked.

She shrugged.

Bonnie sighed and tried to look preoccupied with her food.

Caroline bit her carrot, it tasted bitter so she put the rest of it down, and tried to swallow.

Elena was wearing one of the biggest smiles she'd ever worn on her face and her cheeks were flushed a simple pink.

Bonnie hadn't seen Elena this happy since she was with Matt; she bumped Caroline's shoulder. "Looks like someone likes someone..." she smirked.

Caroline giggled and tried forcing herself to eat a whole carrot, ignoring the bitterness.

Stefan forced a smile as he set Elena's bag down on the table and grinned at Bonnie and Caroline. "Ladies."

Bonnie ate her grilled cheese and ignored him, while Caroline attempted to eat her soup with her fork.

Stefan sighed and sat down.

"Hey guys!" Elena greeted her friends and sat down next to him.

Bonnie looked up and smiled. "Hey, Elena. How's your day so far?" she asked.

Elena shrugged. "Same old..." she turned to Stefan. "Want to get some lunch?"

He frowned. "I don't mind getting in line with you, but I'm not eating...Today."

"Hmm..." Caroline sighed.

Stefan smiled. "Want me to get you a spoon?" he asked her.

Caroline nodded. "Thanks, Stef."

He got up and patted her head. "No problem. Cousin..."

She rolled her eyes and stabbed her soup once more.

Bonnie laughed.


Caroline's POV

Elena and Uncle Stefan finally came out of the lunch line.

This is too weird seeing Uncle Stefan with Elena, who looks so much like my mom, and flirting with her. He seems like he hates my mom so how can he handle liking someone who looks exactly like her? I mean the only difference is... her hair!

I rolled my eyes when Stefan threw a plastic spoon at me and smiled.

Bonnie gave me a look; she didn't seem to like my Uncle very much and neither did I at the moment.

I unwrapped the spoon from it's plastic wrapping and tried to eat the rest of my soup.

School lunch isn't as good as the stuff at home...

Stefan looked up and me and nodded.

I rolled my eyes.

Ugh, I hate when you read my thoughts... stop it Uncle Stefan!

I looked back up at him and he was trying not to laugh or smile.


(FYI: Still Caroline's POV)

After lunch I left the flirtatious new couple, as it seemed, and even Bonnie, and ran to my next class.

That was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!

That's when I saw him again; I still have yet to learn his name, but I saw him again and he smiled at me.

I guess it's because I'm new that he's doing this, but... he sure isn't bad looking... I'll give him that.

"Going somewhere?" his brown eyes eyed me.

I looked up at him. "Yeah. Class... right here in fact."

He smirked. "Same class with the new girl..."

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"What's your name?" he asked me.

"What's yours?" I asked, sitting down in a desk.

He smirked once again and opened his mouth to tell me.

The bell rang before he could answer and the teacher right came in.

The jock still stood there, right in front of my seat, and the teacher looked at him annoyed.

"Leave the new girl alone Lockwood!" the teacher yelled at him.

He sighed and walked back to a desk in the back and sat down slowly.

I smiled.

Lockwood... His last name is Lockwood. There's a start.
