Chapter 11- Graduation

It was nearing the end of summer, and still all Caroline could think of was what happened at graduation. It still felt as though it was all a dream, maybe it never really happened! But Caroline knew it did, and thinking about it only confused her. One night, as she struggled to drift asleep, she played through the entire thing in her head...


*Flashback*

Caroline had just gotten off the phone with the school's principle. He had told her that they had chosen her to be this year's valedictorian! Caroline was so excited, she decided to rub it in Klaus's face. She flashed to his door, and barged into his room. Klaus was working on a sketch, AS USUAL.

"Guess whose Mystic fall's high's valedictorian!?" Caroline asked excitedly.

Klaus turned around to face her.

"If you say it's you, the school has really dropped their standards" replied Klaus.

Caroline huffed.

"I really hate you, you know" she said.

"Oh really now love? I do remember you writing me a little love letter, how did it go again? I guess this letter's kind of cheesy, but you're kind of old fashioned so I thought you would like it. I know you don't know me very well, but I've like you for such a long time..." Klaus continued to state.

Caroline flashed over to him, and put her hand over his mouth.

"You memorized it?!" She asked, angrily.

"Wait love I haven't even gotten to my favorite parts. My heart feels like it could explode, I want you to whisper my name to me in your little cute accent; maybe I'm just a silly girl falling for Mr. popular! I really do like you, hell Klaus I might even be in love with you! Shall I continue love?" Klaus asked.

Caroline was so angry she could of burst into a million pieces.

"Well, I was stupid, and wrong!" she yelled.

Klaus laughed.

"You said yourself love, it's pointless to try and get over me" replied Klaus.

"Well I am!" she yelled.

"What ever makes you sleep at night love, and if you're wondering, I will also be making a speech at the graduation. I won artist of the year award not surprisingly!" said Klaus.

Right then Esther came in holding a phone in her hands.

"The school just called... looks like they don't have enough time to fit both your speeches into the ceremony. I told the principle about everything that had happened, and how you two live in the same house now, and he was so touched! He said he would love if you two could write the speech together, Isn't that wonderful!" Esther said.

Klaus stood up.

"You have got to be joking! No! I refuse to have to write a speech with her" Klaus yelled.

"Esther, I did already plan my speech if I would ever become valedictorian..." said Caroline.

Esther looked from Klaus to Caroline.

"You will write it together, and that is final" Esther said before turning and leaving.

Klaus turned to face Caroline.

"Now listen here love, I will not be made of fool of. We are going to sit down and actually write a bloody amazing speech that will have all the little teachers teary eyed, you hear me?" Klaus said.

Caroline nodded her head. The two set to work on the speech for hours. It took the entire night. By the time they were finished Caroline was half asleep.

"Finally, were done now, right?" asked Caroline.

"No, we still have to practise reading it" replied Klaus.

Caroline sighed.

"I can't believe you got chosen to say a speech, you don't even show up to half a day's classes" Caroline said.

"I told you, I was chosen because I'm a talented artist" replied Klaus.

"Anyone can draw" said Caroline.

"Oh really? Let's see what you got then" replied Klaus, handing Caroline a pencil, and piece of paper.

Caroline accepted the challenged. She grabbed the pencil from Klaus and began to draw; when she was done she revealed it to him.

"What the hell is that, a rat? Klaus asked, examining the drawing.

Caroline let out a giggle.

"No but close, it's you!" she said.

Klaus scowled.

"Alright so I can't draw, but who cares" said Caroline.

Klaus got up from his seat, and escorted Caroline to the door.

"Never mind the practising, I'm too tired" he said.

Caroline left Klaus's room and walked back to hers. She went into her closet and pulled out her dress. It was baby pink with a tight corset style top, and a long flowing skirt. She tried it on, and twirled in the mirror. She truly looked like a princess in this ball gown. Her waist looked petite, and the flowing skirt, was elegant. The top of the dress sparkled, while the bottom was plain, and evened it out.

She placed the dress back in her closet, and changed into her pajamas. Tomorrow would be absolutely perfect, maybe even magical, she thought to herself. She got into bed and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.


The next morning Caroline awoke to Esther, tapping on her shoulder.

"Caroline hun, I'll help you get ready" she said.

Caroline yawned and stepped out of bed. Esther helped her into her dress, and tied the back up. Elena and Bonnie were getting their hair done professionally, but Esther was a miracle worker. She was amazing at doing hair! She Curled Caroline's hair as usual, and grabbed two sections of hair from the top. She connected the hair to make a breathtaking braid at the back, and then she used some scissors to make a side bang at the front. Esther ran her fingers through Caroline's curls to give them a more wavy effect. Her hair looked perfect with the elegancy of the dress.

For the finishing touches, Esther added on a very light pink color to Caroline's lips, and put lip gloss on top. She added sparkling silver eye shadow to her eyes, and curled her eye lashes. Once she was done, she added mascara, eyeliner, and then pink blush to her cheeks.

Once Esther was completely done she stood back and admired her work.

"Oh Caroline, you look stunning!" she said, looking as though she could cry.

"Thank you so much Esther!" replied Caroline, giving Esther a hug.

"I have one quick surprise" said Esther running out the room.

Esther returned a minute or so later, holding a pair of light pink high heels. They matched her dress with pink floral lace, and a sparkling silver lining.

"Esther, they're gorgeous!" Caroline cried.

"I saw them at the store, and I knew they would be perfect!" replied Esther.

Esther handed the shoes to Caroline, and she slipped into them.

"All done" she said, looking in the mirror.

Caroline had never seen herself looking as pretty as she did in that moment.

There was a knock at Caroline's door, and Kol walked in. Kol glanced up at Caroline in awe, WOW.

"What is it Kol?" asked Esther.

"I'm here to escort Caroline downstairs" he replied.

Kol walked in, and Caroline hooked his arm with his. The two walked down the grand staircase together. As they walked down, Caroline noticed Klaus at the bottom of the stairs, in a black suit and tie. He glanced up at her and their eyes locked for a moment, till he looked away. Caroline blushed, at the way Klaus's eyes had gone wide at the sight of her. She wished her arm was locked with his.

When the two got downstairs, Klaus said he wanted to leave. Esther ran downstairs with her camera. She told Klaus to stay, and put his arm around Caroline for a picture. Klaus glared at Esther, and then did as she said.

"Alright, we better hurry and get to the school now!" said Esther heading out the door with her camera.

When they reached the school Caroline jumped out of the car and ran to hug her friends.

"You both look gorgeous!" she said smiling, at Elena and Bonnie.

"Not as gorgeous as you!" replied Elena.

"Yeah, you'll have Klaus drooling" laughed Bonnie.

"I can't believe it, were finally graduating" said Caroline, filled with excitement.

The girls walked inside, and changed into their black silky gowns, and caps.

The teachers ushered everyone into two lines for girls, and boys, and the graduation music begun. Esther was sitting in the front row with her camera, snapping as many pictures as possible. Caroline made her way to her chair, and listened to speech, after speech, until finally it was her turn to go up.

Klaus met Caroline on stage.

"Where's the speech?" he asked.

"I thought you had it!" yelled Caroline.

"Are you bloody kidding me!" yelled Klaus angrily.

"Whatever, I'll just wing it" whispered Caroline.

Klaus sighed.

"Fellow classmates, teachers, parents, who would have thought we would all be standing here so soon? Ready to go off to college or university; make a life for ourselves... It all came so quickly, except if you had to live with Klaus, Caroline laughed. Then the year went by, gruellingly slow for you. "

The crowd laughed.

Klaus elbowed Caroline.

"You're acting foolishly" he whispered.

Caroline turned to face Klaus.

"Really I'm the one making a fool of myself? You forgot the freaking speech that we spent ALL night on!" Caroline yelled.

"You're the one at fault!" Klaus replied.

Caroline and Klaus stood there bickering, as the Audience watched.

"Would you quit thinking so highly of yourself!" yelled Caroline.

"You obviously think highly of me too, if you're in love with me!" Klaus replied.

Caroline had enough, she lunged at Klaus, and the two fell on the ground.

"You're such an ass!" Caroline screamed, swinging a punch.

Klaus fought back with Caroline, turning her over onto her back, and grabbing her wrists, with a bone snapping grip. The parents in the audience watched with horror, and the students with amusement.

Elena, Bonnie, and Kol, ran onto the stage, and pulled them away from each other.

Caroline fixed her hair, and returned to the microphone.

"In conclusion I would just like to say good luck to everyone! And have an awesome night!" Caroline said, running off the stage in tears.


She hadn't been so embarrassed since when Klaus had found her letter. Bonnie and Elena ran to her side. They wrapped her in a hug, and wiped her tears.

"That was so embarrassing!" cried Caroline.

"It was actually more funny than embarrassing" said Bonnie.

"Caroline don't let Klaus ruin the best night of our lives. Walk in there with you head held high!" said Elena.

"I love you guys!" Caroline said happily.

"Thank god your makeup's waterproof!" laughed Bonnie.

The girls went in and when their names were called, headed on stage to receive their diplomas. The principle congratulated the class, and everyone threw their hats in the air.

Caroline went out for lunch with Elena and Bonnie, and returned to school for a dance. Their graduation and prom were on the same day that year, because the school was so tightly booked with events.

Caroline didn't have to change because she was already ready from that morning. The girls headed to the dance, and entered. On Caroline's way to find a table, one of Klaus's friends put out his foot and tripped her. Caroline fell onto the floor, and Bonnie and Elena helped her up.

"Isn't that the girl who's obsessed with Klaus? A girl at the table said with a laugh.

"Obsessed? I don't even like him!" said Caroline.

"Really love, you said you loved me in that letter of yours" said Klaus.

Caroline froze.

"Klaus don't" she mouthed.

"How did it go again, dear Klaus, I guess a letters kind of cheesy..." Klaus said as he begun to recite Caroline's letter.

Caroline thought back to the day Klaus had kissed her. The day, Esther told Caroline Klaus has never had barely even had a girlfriend.

"While Klaus hasn't had a girlfriend, I bet he's a virgin!" yelled Caroline.

There was a pause, and then the entire table erupted with laughter.

Klaus stood up and grabbed Caroline's arm tightly pulling her towards the door.

"We're leaving" he said.

"Let go of me!" Caroline yelled, but Klaus was much too strong.

Klaus dragged Caroline to behind the school, nobody was there. He slammed Caroline forcefully against the wall.

Caroline was petrified.

"How could you we made a deal, you little b*tch!"

Caroline opened her mouth in shock.

"Did you really just call me that?" she asked.

Klaus rolled his eyes.

"What the hell did I ever see in you!" yelled Caroline.

"You think you can do better than me?" he asked arrogantly.

"Way better, I'll meet the love of my life in college, and turn him so we can live the rest of our lives together away from YOU! Caroline replied.

"I'll forget about you in college" she added.

Klaus moved closer to Caroline's face.

"Really love, you think you can just forget about me?" he asked.

Caroline couldn't even speak, she nodded her head.

And then, out of no where, Klaus leaned in, and his lips crashed into Caroline's. Shock filled Caroline, but then her lips melted into his, and it was like the whole world went away. It was just her and Klaus, KISSING. It was slow, and perfect, and Caroline felt like she was in a movie. And then it ended, and Klaus pulled his lips from Caroline's.

"Now try and forget me" he said, walking away.

Caroline just stood in shock. She fell back onto the wall, and put her hand to her lips.

"What if I can't" she whispered.
