Rebekah showed up to school to discover everyone was in an uproar. Elena ran up to her. "Did you know he was going to do this?"

"Do what?" Rebekah asked confused.

"Don't play dumb with me, Blondie," Elena said. "Klaus posting pictures all over the school?"

"Posting pictures of what?" Rebekah asked. She had helped her brother sneak into the computer lab, but she had no idea what he had done once he was there. She was starting to suspect it was something very bad.

Elena pulled a folded up picture out of her pocket and showed it to Rebekah. "Oh, God. I had no idea he was going to do that when I let him into the computer lab."

"You let him into the computer lab to print this?" Elena said disgustedly.

"I had no idea that's what he was doing," Rebekah said in an attempt to defend herself.

"Yeah, well you know your brother, and you should have checked what he was doing," Elena said, walking away.

"Elena, wait!" Rebekah said, but Elena was already gone.


Kol sat down next to Damon in math class. The class was supposed to work quietly on their homework, but Kol had other plans.

"I'm so sorry about my brother," he said to Damon.

"Well, that's really not good enough," Damon said angrily.

"If I had any idea what kind of crap he was going to pull, I would have put a stop to it," Kol said.

"I would have put a stop to his life," Damon said.

"Are we cool?" Kol asked.

"Of course we're cool," Damon said. "It's not your fault you're brother's a douche."

The girl behind Kol passed him a note. Did you know? -Elena

Of course not, I have more class than my asshole brother, Kol wrote back.

I'm worried about Jeremy, Elena wrote.

He's a tough kid. He'll be alright, Kol sent back

I hope you're right, Elena sent back.

Damon figured Jeremy must have gotten into some kind of trouble, because he did not show up to the lunch table that day. He hoped Jeremy had not been kicked out of school. Damon had been trying not to look clingy, so he hadn't texted Jeremy yet, but he did after a few minutes of waiting for him and the lunch table. What happened?

Suspended, Jeremy sent back.

"Are you texting Jeremy?" Stefan asked. Damon nodded. "Is he okay?"

"Would you be okay?" Damon asked.

"I would never get myself into a situation like that," Stefan said.

"No, you're too good to do anything wrong. Oh, wait. What about your serious drug problem?" Damon asked.

Elena sat down next to Stefan. "Serious drug problem?" she asked. "He's joking, right?"

"Yes, I'm joking," Damon said. "Stefan's absolutely perfect."

"I had a minor drug problem last year, but I've been clean for three months," Stefan said.

"Yeah, a minor heroin addiction," Damon said sarcastically.

"Heroin?" Elena said. Damon enjoyed hearing the shock in her voice.

"Yes, but I'm fine now," Stefan said.

"How can you be fine?" Elena asked. "Heroin is much worse than pot. You could have died."

"Yeah, well I'm fine," Stefan said.

"We can all tell how wonderfully you're doing," Damon said.

"Do I have to worry about you hanging out with my brother?" Elena asked Stefan.

Damon shook his head. "No, Stefan was never into doing drugs with other people, he was more like alone in his room his face soaked with tears."

"Damon, that's enough," Stefan said.

"You're high right now," Damon said. "And you haven't been clean for months. Do you think I'm mentally challenged?"

Stefan gets up out the table. "You have no idea what you're talking about."

"I know exactly what I'm talking about," Damon said, getting up and staring Stefan right in the face. "You need help Stefan. This isn't okay."

Stefan punched Damon in the jaw hard. Damon stood there for a minute staring with wide eyes, before he threw a punch himself. Before it got too heated, Alaric came and separated them. "Boys that's enough. I'm going to take you to the office."


Jeremy sat in the suspension room doodling in a notebook and trying to pretend he didn't notice Klaus was staring at him. Alaric walked in, dragging Stefan and Damon with him. "What did you do?" Jeremy asked Damon.

Damon just shrugged with a boyish grin. "We got into a fight," Stefan clarified.

"Why?" Jeremy asked.

Alaric sighed. "Can you all just sit down and shut up?"

"Stefan's high," Damon whispered loudly into Jeremy's ear.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that," Alaric announced.

"You know what, Damon you can just shut up already, we're all sick of listening to you," Stefan said.

"You need to chill yourself," Jeremy said, standing up.

"I swear to God, Jeremy I will get you kicked out of this school if you touch him," Alaric said.

Jeremy sat back down. "I wasn't going to do anything."

"You know what, I don't want to deal with you, two," Stefan said taking a seat next to Klaus. "What's up new best friend?"

"You've got to be kidding me," Damon said. "You have the worst taste in men, Stefan. No offence, Jeremy."

"None taken," Jeremy said amiably.

"So you're a stoner friend of Jeremy's," Klaus said to Stefan.

"No, he's a heroin addict that's too good for Jeremy," Damon said.

"Classy," Klaus said.

"Like you're so perfect," Jeremy said angrily.

"Him?" Klaus said pointing at Stefan. "You like this guy?"

"Oh, please," Damon said. "Jeremy doesn't like Stefan. Right, Jer?"

"Well were supposed to be friends," Jeremy said. "But apparently he'd rather be friends with Mr. Minute Man over there."

"Well then," Damon said, mildly dazed.

"Jeremy, you know that's rude," Stefan said. "You can't just call a guy out on that."

"Well if I was calling him out on things I would tell you that he was too afraid to ever be bottom or perform oral sex," Jeremy said.

"Jeremy..." Alaric said. "Nobody needed to know that."

"I did," Stefan said.

Damon shot his brother a questioning glance. "Well this isn't awkward at all."

"What kind of hair product do you use?" Stefan asked Klaus. "It's way better than mine." He felt Klaus's fluffy hair.

"You think that's funny, making fun of gay people?" Damon asked.

Stefan looked confused. "Who's making fun of anyone?"

"Cut the crap, Stefan," Damon said. "I'm going to give you a pass because you're super high, but when you sober up I'm going to beat the shit out of you."

"Make sure to do that off school property," Alaric said helpfully.

"You're on," Stefan said.


A/N: I'm not going to apologize for this being short because I updated two chapters today. This story is like my whole life and I try to update every day, so try not to focus on chapter length and think that you get to read something new everyday.
