Chapter 26:
When I got to the grill I spotted Caroline and sat with her. "Sorry im late, so what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, Bonnie's birthday is coming up, and we have to plan her a party!" She said.
I sighed. "Is this what all this is about? Caroline, the whole party planning thing is your thing, not mine." I said flatly trying to get out of this mess. She just rolled her eyes at me, "Come on Elena, you and I are her best friends. Now what kind of friend would you be if you didn't help plan the party?" she persuaded.
I hesitated before giving my answer, "Fine." I sighed. "But only because this is Bonnie we are talking about here."
Caroline just shrieked with joy, "Great! So when should it be? I was thinking this Saturday, but the party will take us much longer than 4 days to plan, plus we have the Founders Ball. So how about two weeks after?"
"Sure no problem, I'm free then."
"Also, I would talk about where to have it, but what better place than the Grill?" she added.
"That works too." I added. This whole party planning thing with Caroline was actually easier than I thought. All I had to do was agree with all of Caroline's suggestions.
"It also has to be a surprise because Bonnie would kill us both with one of her witchy spells."
"But what about when she finds out we hosted a party for her without consulting her. Won't she kill us then?" I asked.
"No, the party will already be going on! Bonnie has way more manners than that, and plus after its all over she'll see how awesome party planners we are and decide not to kill us." She said.
"I guess, but im just saying, Bonnie really hates birthday parties…especially for her." And on that note Bonnie walked into the Grill. She saw us and sat with us.
"Hey, so what are you guys talking about?" she asked.
"Nothing, just the Founders Ball this weekend." Caroline lied.
"Cool, what about it?" she asked.
"Well, for starters, I finally found the perfect dress! It's purple, and strapless, and- Oh I can't wait for you to see it!"
"Well that's nice. Bonnie have you found a dress yet?" I asked.
"No." she said.
"Why not!" Caroline whined. "It's in 4 days! Your running out of time!"
"I don't need to buy a dress cause im not going." She said.
"Why not!" Caroline whined again.
"Because, you guys ditched me for Damon and Tyler." She explained. "And I don't wanna walk in there without a date."
"Well, I can't argue with that excuse."
"Caroline!" I said through my teeth.
"What?" she asked dumbfounded and looked at me. I gave her a look that said 'be nice!' then I said, "Don't be ridiculous, Bonnie, you could carpool with me and Caroline and we can meet Damon and Tyler there. Right Caroline?" I said giving her another look that said 'You better agree with me or ill rip your head off' even though I couldn't considering she's a vampire and im just a….human.
"Fine." She gave in.
"Ok then in that case, I'll go dress shopping later today. You guys wanna come?"
"Sorry, I can't im hanging out with Tyler." Caroline said.
"Oh well, Elena, how about you?" she asked me.
"Sure, im free today." I said. "But first I have to go check on Jeremy and Alaric, I spent the night at Damon's and forgot to tell them, Jeremy must be really worried. Come with me Bonnie? Then we could go shopping." I said. "I promise."
"Ok, sounds good."
"Well, I better get going guys, see you later." Caroline left.
"Well that's our cue." I said. "Let's go."
