Chapter 3

The next day as Caroline stopped off in a coffee shop, she saw two girls and a little boy. She walked over to them and smiled.

"I'm the new girl. Caroline Forbes." She told them with a smile on her face.

"Elena Gilbert and this is my little brother Jeremy." The brunette said with a smile at her.

"Bonnie Bennett and the blonde right behind you is Rebekah Mikaelson." Caroline turned to see a very gorgeous blonde girl walk towards them wearing the most expensive looking clothes and shoes.

"Caroline Forbes." Caroline choked. "New girl."

"Welcome to Mystic Caroline," Rebekah greeted.

"She hasn't met the others from school yet Bekah." Elena told her. "Especially Kat and your siblings." Caroline looked at her.

"Kat?" She asked.

"Katherine. My twin." Elena answered. "She's probably right now doing her hair. When I left she was still debating on her clothes and shoes."

"Oh well it's nice to meet you," Caroline smiled to the two of them.

"It's nice to meet you as well." Bonnie said warmly as she hugged her. Jeremy looked at her with these lovely dark eyes and a dimpled smile.

"Bye bye." He said waving. He seemed to cuddle up closer to Elena. She didn't think anything of it until she left the coffee house and bumped into someone with those same eyes.

"I'm Elijah Mikaelson." He said smiling at her lightly. "You are?"

"The new girl." Caroline said as she was wondering why Elena's baby brother had this man's eyes. "Caroline Forbes."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Caroline," Elijah smiled.

She nodded, smiling at him while trying to figure out why that boy and this man seem to have the same eye color. It wasn't genetics she believed.

Elijah paused and his focus was elsewhere. Caroline followed his gaze and saw that he was staring at Elena.

"You like her." Caroline whispered. "Why haven't you even asked her out yet? Someone stopping you?"

He gave a little chuckle.

"It appears that Matt Donovan also has feelings for her." He whispered. "Besides-what would she see in me?"

"What makes you think that there's nothing good in you? I think you should just give it a shot." She told him with a grin. "Besides-I could probably make whoever Matt Donovan think of wanting to be with someone else." She added.

"Maybe she wants to be with him and maybe that's for the best," Elijah replied.

Now Caroline had to snort.

"Then she's not all there in the head." Caroline was blunt. "Just go and ask her out already! What are you waiting for?" She subtly pushed him into the coffee shop and Jeremy ran to him. Caroline watched as Elena turned and looked ready to scold Jeremy only to see Elijah pick him up. The blonde noticed the smile on the brunette's face and a slight twinge of pink when Elijah stared at her.

I guess I get to play matchmaker! Caroline thought happily as she spied them through the window.
