A dance in the moonlight

Chapter 10

Caroline let out a nervous breath and held out a bouquet of flowers focusing at the task at hand. She had set up the plan perfectly. Katherine had talked to Damon about getting Enzo to the school and Rebekah had helped her set up the balloons and banner that had said "Will you be my Valentine" on it. She knew it was cheesy but if anything Enzo at least had to acknowledge how much work Caroline had put into it to make an impression on him.

The bell rang as students came out of their classrooms with curious expressions on their face passed by her. Caroline smiled like she didn't care what they thought or how desperate she must have looked as she saw Enzo round the corner with Damon. His eyes widened as he went to talk to her.

"What's this about Caroline?"

Enzo did not seem too happy.

"I was wondering if maybe you would go out with me on Valentine's day."

Enzo bulked and then laughed as if this was some kind of joke. That wasn't the reaction she was looking for. Not even by a long shot.

"Really Caroline this is pathetic even for a stuck up bitch like you. Do me a favor and shove your offer up your ass. I'm done with this shit and I'm not interested in dating you so do yourself a favor and don't ask me again."

The crowd gasped as she dropped the flowers in shock. Enzo shook his head and walked away. Damon gave Caroline what looked like an apologetic smile and went after Enzo.

The crowd dispersed noticing the debacle was over and went in search for more juicy gossip to spread. Caroline went to her locker shoving the flowers into it. She would not let these people hear or see her cry. Especially not about Enzo the snuggled tooth loser.

Stefan appeared by Caroline's locker waving off Lexie and Elena as if he understood that she didn't want the company right now.

"Hey I'm sorry about Enzo. That was all sorts of brutal and he was an asshole for saying those things to you." He said offering her a smile.

Caroline shrugged and got a book out of her locker as if she couldn't care less .

"How about you go to dinner with me instead? It'll help you take your mind off of things."

Caroline looked at him smiling. "That would be nice. Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

She smiled as she saw Stefan walk down the hall. Maybe Valentine's day wouldn't be that bad after all.
