A/N:

I think each episode will be a 3 parter. I like each of my chapters to be around 2,000 words, and that seems to be the right amount, so yeah.

[I'd like to thank a guest reviewer for pointing out the fact I never got around to fixing the whole Matt and Elena relationship. At first I had them break up in the beginning, but I changed my mind. During my hiatus I totally forgot about fixing it, and the whole thing got screwed up. I believe I fixed everything now, although. I made it so Elena broke up with Matt during the party the night Vicki got bitten, before she got in the accident.]

Anyways, enjoy part 2!

"Klaus Mikaelson." a smirk drifted over her face. "Yes, he's in college, he's hot, I know, and yes, he's brand spanking new."

She turned and watched him drive away.

Another car drove up a moment later, and I saw Damon in the driver seat. He had his shades on, trying to be 'cool'. Probably more like the sun hurt his eyes. I hope he burned his retinas out. An irritated smirk appeared on my face, and it grew as he drove slowly by, waving at us. He drove away, headed towards the football field. Part of me wondered where he was going, while another part of me didn't care. At all.

"Okay girls! Let's start with the double pike herkey hurdler, what do you say?" Alyssa flipped her light brown pony over her shoulder and adjusted her booty shorts. She reminded me of myself freshman year. I'd just grown out of all my 'baby-fat' and I was a bit of a narcissistic diva, always trying to be the best cheerleader. Ah, who am I kidding, I'm still a narcissistic diva...just...not as bad as her.

"And..." Alyssa started to count, and I kept up, only faltering a few times. I hadn't practiced in months, I lost my flexiblity, and my mind kept wandering, so by the end of the routine, I was just standing there stretching, trying to not get too frusterated.

"Caroline, sweetie, why don't you just observe today?" Alyssa simpering voice broke me out of my thoughts.

I huffed in frustration and nodded. I walked over to the football field, following Elena, who also announced she wanted to take a quick breather.

"Hey." I said, trying to be friendly.

"Hi." she replied. "Oh. My. Goodness." she clapped her hands together. "I knew Stefan would try out for the team!" she beamed and waved at him. While he was distracted, Tyler threw the ball, and him and Matt collide. They both fall to the ground.

Elena gasps and starts to run over, only to be blocked by Coach Tanner.

"Was he alright?" I asked as she came back over.

She shrugged. "Dunno, the jerk wouldn't let me see him."

I glanced at my phone. Cheer practice was over now, or would be in five minutes. "Hey, I'm going to head home, okay?"

She waved once. "Alright. And don't forget. Dinner. My house. 8 p.m."

I grinned a bit and nodded before jogging to my car, only to find Klaus leaning against his own, which was parked next to mine.

"Love." he nodded once at me, a smirk on his face.

"Klaus." I said back, studying him uncertainly. I wanted to say, I'd appreciate if you didn't use my friend as a blood-bag, but it was then I remembered Klaus thought he compelled me to forget him jumping the both of us onto the roof the night after.

Thank god for vervain.

"What are you doing here?" I said instead.

He shrugged. "Just waiting for my girlfriend." He gauged my reaction and unlocked my car door.

"Oh." I smiled at him and waved once before climbing into my car. "See you around."

I shut my door, and could of sworn I heard him say, "Yes, yes you will." but I wasn't sure due to the door being a sound barrier.

I drove home to find Stefan and Damon talking – er Damon talking, Stefan irritatedly listening.

"I gotta run. I have a date. Sweaty palms." he shook his hands, then smiled cheekily at me as he noticed my presence. "Wish me luck." he winked at me and I raised an eyebrow.

"Damon has a date?' I asked in disbelief and heard him yell.

"I DO INDEED!" he reappeared in the living-room, right in front of me, causing me to jump. "Be jealous." he poked my collar bone. "Because. It's not. With. You." he smirked down at me and disappeared again, the front door slamming a sign of his departure.

I rolled my eyes. "I pity the girl who has to deal with him all day."

Stefan laughed. "I think the world does." he plopped down on the sofa. "So. Are you going to Elena's dinner party tonight?"

I sighed and shrugged. "I guess. I don't know what she's trying to prove to me. I know all about you and I like you well enough. As a brother, of course." I added the last part, shrugging.

He smiled and shrugged as well. "I think you should go." he picked up a journal, shutting it. "But that's just me."

I nodded thoughtfully. "I dunno. I'm going to head up to my room. C'ya around."

I headed upstairs and into my room. After I changed into a potential outfit for Elena's I sat down on my window seat, staring out the window for a moment before starting to journal.

Dear Diary,

So, Elena wants me to go to this dinner party at her house with Stefan, Bonnie and her. I don't know what she's trying to prove to me. I live with Stefan and know all about him. I might go, I might not. Don't know yet.

I haven't talked to you in a while, which is bad because Zach would throw a fit if he found out.

A certain hybrid-vampire tried to compel me, but I finally got my hands on some more vervain and Stefan informed me that if I put it in a necklace or wear it on my person, I can't be compelled. I've been wearing my necklace, even in the shower. I'm going to start putting some more in my tea or drinks too. I'm afraid of being compelled...by anyone. Damon or Klaus the most...

Well, I better get going.

Caroline

I shut my journal and glanced at the clock. It was only 7 p.m. My decision on whether or not to go over to Elena's was still up in the air, so I decided to take a quick shower. If I did end up going over, I didn't want to be all sweaty and stinky. I got a quick shower and hopped out, taking my time with makeup and hair. I left it down in it's usual curls, and applied a bit of powder, mascara, and lipgloss. I flicked the eyeliner on my eyes quickly before getting dressed. By this time, it was already 8 p.m. My stomach growled, and I finally decided. Elena's it was.

I smoothed out my simple dark wash jeans and pink blouse, before jogging downstairs and into the study, where Zach spent most of his time.

"Zach?" I called knocking lightlly on the door.

"Caroline?" I heard his muffled response. "C'mon in."

I stepped in, a small smile on my face. "Hey. Er – I was going to head over to Elena's for dinner. We're having a little dinner party. Stefan, Elena, Bonnie and I." I nodded once. "Wait. Is that okay?"

Zach finally turned around from the bookshelf and smiled slightly. "That's fine Caroline. Go on ahead."

I thanked him and quickly headed to my car. The drive into town was quick, and I reached Elena's around 8:20.

Elena greeted me, stating that they were all in the dining room eating. I got my plate quickly and sat down next to Bonnie.

"Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" Elena broke the uneasy silence that had settled over the room. Bonnie and Stefan were both at loss for what to say before Elena spoke up. I was a bit at loss too. I wanted them to be friends, but I didn't know how to make that happen.

Stefan chewed thoughtfully for a moment. "Well," he swallowed, and a brief look of unease passed over his face, so fast that I almost didn't catch it.

He must not like human food. I'll have to ask him later. I made a mental note and he continued.

"He let me on the team, so I must have did something right."

Elena's face lit up. "Bonnie, you should have seen Stefan today." she bragged, batting her long – probably fake – lashes at him as she talked. "Tyler threw a ball right at him and..."

Bonnie smiled uneasily. "Yeah, I heard." I raised an eyebrow at her. She practically cut her friend off.

"Um, Bonnie, why don't you tell Stefan about yourself?" I suggested, finally speaking up.

She furrowed her brows. "Uh, I don't know what to say..."

"Tell him about your family?" Elena put in, and Stefan's face grew curious.

"Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad..." she explained trailing off.

"No, silly." Elena giggled. "About the witches!"

Stefan didn't look surprised. "Your family is a lineage of witches, right Bonnie?" I asked.

She nodded, not saying anything.

"It's so cool." Elena gushed, sounding like a typical school girl.

Her friend visibly stiffened. "That's not the word I'd use."

Stefan set down his fork, his plate empty. "Well, it's certainly interesting. I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that-"

I cut him off. "Migrated here in the 1800's right?" everyone looked a bit shocked.

Yeah, I'm not as dumb as I can act sometimes.

I smirked. "Our teacher talked about it freshman year. That was the one thing I was interested in."

"My family came by way of Salem." a dark look passed over her eyes and we continued to chat about the witches history and Bonnie slowly got to know Stefan better. I could tell by the time we were sitting in the living-room that they were going to be friends. We were still on the topic when the door rang. Elena, Bonnie, and Stefan were still deep in conversation.

"I'll get it." I offered. I got up off my seat and walked to the door, swinging it open to reveal someone whom I was not pleased to see.

"Alyssa, hi?" I said uncertainly. I could see another figure's outline, but I couldn't make out who it was.

"Klaus, love, come on and say Hi!" she chirped at him and he slowly turned around a wolfish grin on his face.

"Hello, I'm Klaus." the wolfish grin stayed on as I nodded at him, sticking my hand out to shake his hand.

"I'm Caroline." I said through my teeth. "It's g-great to finally meet you." I so very badly wanted to scream at him and tell him to go die in a hole, but I didn't. His blue-green eyes sparkled at me, and my stomach flipped.

What?! Why did that happen?

I heard Elena's footsteps and I turned to look at her.

Oh, please. Do not invite that monster inside.

TBC...
