Caroline was shaken from her newly established staring contest with Klaus when Elijah cleared his throat. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of my siblings, Klaus." He said introducing Klaus. Caroline looked down as she realized everyone was looking at her. She had just been so used to her usual banter with Klaus, and when that happened she was usually alone or with her friends.

As Klaus looked up to look around at all the people who were now saying hello and other greeting his way, and to grin at all the girls who clearly were enjoying his looks. She rolled her eyes as he grinned at the girls, slowly bringing his glass to his mouth. He was really drinking in all this female attention.

Caroline was already preparing a snide comment when she felt movement on her side; she turned to see Jesse leaning in towards her. "That's the guy you were talking to yesterday on the phone? Your boyfriend Klaus?" he whispered to her, thinking that he was going to be able to get away with speaking without Elijah or Klaus, or anyone else for that matter hearing. Caroline's eyes grew wide and her mouth opened in mortification. She had totally forgotten that he had assumed Klaus was her boyfriend yesterday and she had yet to set him straight.

She was about to say something when suddenly Klaus was laughing. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy; they clearly hadn't heard what Jesse had said. Caroline turned to look at him, narrowing her eyes at him as she noticed that giant grin on his face. Even Elijah was looking at her, however his expression was much more confusion than anything else. Most likely because she had just moment before pleaded with him to keep her being there a secret.

"Something you aren't telling me, love?" asked Klaus, clearly enjoying putting her on the spot. She glared and gave him a warning look. "Don't start," she warned.

Klaus looked like he was ready to really dig into a fight, but Elijah clearly had other plans on his mind. "Niklaus," he warned lowly, his authoritative brother voice at work. Klaus just smirked and moved to sit on the arm of the couch, taking the advantage to lay his hand, rather possessively on her opposite shoulder, next to where Jesse's head had been when he whispered to Caroline.

Caroline found her hands curling into fists, an attempt to hold down her rage. She didn't need to be making a scene and she doubted that Elijah would be too happy with her if she spoke out now. Especially after he had settled Klaus down and he had taken the floor bad. "Now that introductions are over, I think I'll get a little something together for you all before you go to bed. Our maid will help you find your rooms," he offered as he gestured to an older woman standing in the corner. Now that she had been informed she could move, she walked out and stood in the doorway, waiting for everyone to gather their belongings and get ready to move.

"Niklaus, why don't you help me?" he said, giving Klaus a pointed look. Klaus gave a dramatic sigh and knocked back the rest of her drink before standing up, placing his glass on the coffee table in front of him. "Actually, Elijah? I have a few things in my suitcase that should probably be put in a freezer. Would you mind?" she asked, jumping up as the two Originals started to make their way out of the room. Elijah seemed to understand what she was talking about and nodded, before moving ahead again, Klaus waited for her to catch up.

"I'll explain when I get back," she told Jesse, grabbing her suitcase and walking forward to meet Klaus in the doorway. Klaus gestured for Caroline to go ahead of him down the hall, and she raised her head, still angry with him as she went. Apparently he was going to take his chances while she was in the lime light and took no time waiting before placing his hand on the small of her back to guide her to the kitchen.

She allowed it to stay there until she was directed through a door near the end of the hall. As soon as she passed into the kitchen and saw that the only other person was there was Elijah she turned on Klaus, moving away from his grasp in seconds. "What the Hell? Do you mind? You're acting like we're actually dating or something. Jesse made an assumption. Lay off," she said, pushing her hand on his shoulder as hard as she could, finishing her speech.

"Calm down, sweetheart. I'm only helping you to repel that human boy," he told her, moving to the snag a grape off the tray Elijah was making, pointedly not listening to their argument. "Look, I don't need your help. I can keep you away, I think I can handle a human," she ranted as she finally dug into her suitcase and pulled out a much needed blood bag. She ripped off the top and took a long swig, drinking almost half of it in one go.

Now that she finally had the edge off her cravings, she started pulling out her other blood bags, holding them up as she looked back and forth. "Where can I keep these?" she asked.

"How about my mini fridge?" Klaus asked, winking. Caroline gave him an exasperated look. "Did we not just discuss this?" she asked angrily. Oh how she wished she could slap the smile right off his stupidly handsome face.

"Don't get excited. I merely meant it's safer than the freezer in here, where the other students may come for a midnight snack," he explained, moving to wipe a line of blood from her chin, licking it off his finger with a wink. "Oh," was all Caroline was able to offer. She uncomfortably moved to sit at a chair in the kitchen and brought her bag back up to her mouth, staying silent as she watched Klaus and Elijah finish their snack tray.

Tossing her blood bags into her suitcase to give to Klaus later, Caroline followed the two men out of the kitchen and back to the parlour where everyone else had returned to. She resumed her seat next to Jesse and grabbed a piece a cheese of the plate, chewing on it.

"Looks like everyone has to share a room. There's only 13 rooms though, so we figured you were just going to sleep in your boyfriends room," he told her, not looking too happy with the way the turn of events had come about. This of course just made Caroline chock on her cheese.

"Excuse me? I'm supposed to be sharing a room with Klaus?" she asked for clarification. How had this happened? How had her plan to come explore New Orleans turn into sleeping in the same room with Klaus? Caroline looked about the room, attempting to find Elijah, who apparently had heard the whole thing.

"My apologies Caroline. I hadn't taken into account the bus driver. I'm sure Rebe-" before the name was even out of his mouth, Klaus had his hand on his brother's shoulder, cutting him off. "Nonsense brother, what's mine is hers. I'm more than happy to share. I'll go put your suitcase in my room," he told the two before he turned away and walked out of the parlour before there was any chance for argument.

Caroline looked to Elijah, her eyes begging him to do something to fix this, but Elijah just gave a sad shake of his head and moved away to speak with one of the students who had come over to ask him something.

"Did I miss something?" Jesse asked, unsure as to why Caroline was so upset. Caroline decided she was just too tired to explain. Maybe she would take care of it tomorrow, but for right now, she just didn't want to explain. Instead she pulled out her phone, pulling up Elena's number and typed out a quick text.

'Staying at Klaus' house, and I'm stuck staying in his room. Why did I think this was a good idea?'

She wasn't sure when Elena would get back to her, but she did know that if there was anyone who was going to be able to make light of this, or talk her out of killing Klaus in his sleep, it would be her best friend.
