My Favorite Student
(Chapter 14)
[Caroline's POV]
Since yesterday all I could think about was what Nik had told me about Ciara's mother and his brother. How could his own brother get into bed with his brother's wife?!
"Care? Care? What fo you think? Are you even listening to me?" Elena said with her hands on her hips and looking away from her locker's mirror to me.
Rubbing my face i nod "Ofcourse im listening, you should totally do that" i say without thinking and Elena notices it.
"Oh so i should dye my hair blue and get a tatto on my chest?" she said and my eyes widened. Did i agreed to that?!
"No no no, ofcourse not! Your skin is flawless and your hair is perfect brown"
"I know that, i just wanted to confirm that you were not listening to me!" she said; talking about modest...
"Okay okay im sorry, what was it that you were asking me?" i try again and she sighs pinching the bridge of her nose.
"I was talking about the party-" "Carolina!" a squealing voice cut Elena off and she groaned "Seriously?!" she said pissed off and confused as a little brunette girl launched herself at me.
"Hey there" i say as i hug her back "Its Caroline, by the way" i corrected her and she giggled covering her mouth.
"I know but you make a funny face when i call you that" she said and Elena cleared her throat.
"Sorry to interrupt this-akward-moment but who the hell is she?" she said pointing at Ciara and i blurt.
"She is Nik's daughter" What?! Did i just told her that?! Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God.
"Who is Nik?" she asked with her arms crossed over her chest and raising an eyebrow at me.
"Nik is my daddy" Ciara said holding the hem of her pink shirt and twirling around like a princess. "My name is Ciara" she said stretching her hand towards Elena and Elena shook it slightly.
"Yeah whatever" she muttered and glared at me "Is this 'Nik' the reason why you have been ditching us lately? Hence why in hell is his daughter at school?"
"Elena-" i tried to explain but a voice interrupted us.
"Ciara what did i told you about wandering off like that" Klaus scolded his daughter as he made his way over to us and i could feel myself panicking already.
"Im sorry daddy..." she said with her head looking down and went to take his father's hand.
"Sorry that she was bothering you. Have a good day Miss Gilbert, Miss Forbes" he nodded politely at both girls but his eyes lingered a few more seconds on me before Ciara tugged his hand.
"Daddy where is your classroom?" she said already bored of our talk.
"Down the hall sweetheart" he said before they walk to the classroom and Elena and I were alone again.
"Oh. My. God" was all she said as she stare at me with widened eyes. "Mr. Mikaelson's kid is too fond of you Caroline...is there something you would like to tell your best friend? The one that has always been there for you? The one that always lets you know first?" she said tapping her foot annoyed and i giver her a weak smile.
"No" i reply and leave the lockers' area as fast as possible to my Calculus classroom.
"This is not over yet" Elena said with her narrowed eyes before slamming her locker door shut and walking away.
•~•~•~•~•~•
All day i have been imagining what will happen once i crossed Nik's classroom door and all kind of scenarios crossed my mind. But Elena also crossed my mind and i was scare of her reaction. What will she say or do now that she has find out about our secret?
"Caroline?" a voice startled me and i looked down at Ciara that smiled up at me "Can i sit with you?" she asked with her puppy face and i smiled.
"If its okay with Mr. Mikaelson then yes" i say and she burst out laughing.
"You call my daddy Mr. Mikaelson? That is so funny" she said and went to ask her dad which made him sighed before he nodded giving her permission.
"He said yes!" she said and pulled his dad's chair over to my desk and sat there next to me.
Nik was leaning against the chalkboard since his daughter had borrowed his chair.
"So to begin the class with i want to know if there are any questions about your group assigment?" he said and i gasped. Shit i forgot about that, im suppose to work that asshole Tyler.
A girl named Claire rose her hand and Klaus nodded at her to speak out loud.
"Why is there a little girl sitting there?" she said pointing her thumb at Ciara which looked at the girl offended.
"I am not a little girl, I'll be 4 in a month!" she said holding up four fingers making the whola class laugh.
"Ciara" Klaus said glaring at her and she sighed nodding. Their connection was amazing, she knows exactly what he means by just saying her name and vice versa.
"That is off topic Miss Stevens but to answer your answer your question, Ciara is my daughter and i have no one to take care of her so i had to bring her to work. Now back to the group assigment, any doubts?"
Everyone shook their heads and began talking amongst themselves before Klaus wrote on the board the pages we had to read.
Ciara was engrossed painting on some coloring book she had pulled out of her backpack and i take out my history textbook.
"I cant believe you!" i hear someone whispering on my ear. Elena.
"Elena i am trying to concentrate here so could you please stop talking?" i say annoyed but she kept poking my shoulder.
"So it is true?" she kept insisting "You and Mr. Mikaelson sleeping around? Are you really that screwed on this class that you have to ruin your good girl facade?" she said in my ear and i swing around in my seat to glare at her.
"Shut the fuck up!" i scream at her face which only made her smirk wider:
"Miss Forbes, see you in detention" Klaus scolded me. Seriously?! This bitch is calling shit on me and i am the one to get detention?!
"Whatever" i muttered scribbling on my book.
"Who knows, maybe Mr. Hottie will bend you over his desk and teach you how to behave..." she said in my ear and with that I grabbed my things and stormed out of the classroom.
Ciara lifted her head from her coloring book after i left and looked back at Elena. "You are mean"
"And you are a pipsqueak"Elena said before leaning back on her chair twirling her red pen in her right hand.

I've been crying my eyes out for the last 30 minutes in the school bathroom. I locked myself in one of the cubicles and sat agaianst the wall.
How could she have done that to me? I know she sometimes acts too dramatic and all that but what she did today...is far away from forgiveness.
The sound of my phone receiving a message echoed in the empty bathroom, i pull it out of my back pocket and unlocked the screen.
'Caroline where are you?!' -K
'Come back to the classroom' -K
'Tell me where you are' -K
'Please Caroline dont ignore me, what happened?' -K
Reading through the texts i wipe the tears that were on my cheeks and types a quick response.
'We need to talk. She knows' -C
A/N:
