Within the hour Caroline was at the Salvator Boarding House, "What's going on?" Damon asked, frustrated as he paced around the sitting room. He let a few unrepeatable cuss words out of his mouth as he once again poured a glass of blood.
Caroline shot him a glare, "I am not talking until Elena and Bonnie get here." She snapped, she wouldn't be incorporating him in this plan if it weren't for Elena.
"We're here." Elena said, out of breath as she and Bonnie sat next to Caroline.
Caroline paused, how should she go about explaining her plan? It wasn't exactly one which would be popular with her friends, but maybe they could understand. With one more deep breath she began to explain, "I am going to become friends with Klaus." She stated and at her friends' worried looks began to explain, "Well for some reason he is obsessed with me, so here is my plan: if he and I become friends he might grow to trust me. If he trusts me, maybe I can convince him to leave town or at least find a weakness of his." She stated.
Elena quickly protested, but Bonnie and Damon seemed to be considering her plan: they weren't going on much right now. Maybe, just maybe this could work. If worse came to worse then it was just another failed attempt and they were both sure that Klaus would not kill Caroline.
Elena eventually begrudgingly accepted the plan, although she was unhappy about it she knew that it was the best they had at the moment.
"Caroline," Klaus exclaimed in shock, "I wasn't expecting you to be here." He was still in the school, looking over any ideas for being a teacher for he was rather clueless when it came to teaching.
"I thought about your offer," She explained, slowly moving into the room, "I think that friends would be a good place to start."
Klaus was no idiot though, "Why are you suddenly agreeing?" He asked suspiciously.
With a deep breath Caroline got ready to present the lie which she had worked so hard on, "Honestly, I think this might be a good way to keep you from being any more of a creepy stalker. Besides, what's the harm in friendship?"
The much older vampire gave a smirk, "You are not a very good liar, Ms. Forbs. I will accept what you say though, we may be friends." He thought for a second, "Does friendship happen to entail you assisting me with my new job as a teacher?"
Caroline forced out a laugh, "Of course the big, bad original vampire needs help with teaching." She found herself teasing, "What can I help you with?" she sat on the teacher desk, pushing aside a few papers and sitting on the rest.
"Well, how does one go about teaching? Where do we start and what do we do?" He found that he enjoyed eliciting a laugh from the young vampire's lips and wished to do it just once more.
The blonde picked up his copy of the book and began to flip through the pages, "Really, all Mrs. Henry would do for us was ask us about the reading, simply questions like: what is the main characters name?" She tried to explain.
"Then, why, may I ask, were you requesting help from this teacher for such a simple class."
"College," Caroline felt ridiculous explaining, "with all this vampire stuff I haven't been taking any SAT classes, I was hoping she could help me prepare." Klaus gave a confused look, "The SAT is a required test for college." Was her short explanation.
"You have plenty of time in the future for college." Klaus explained, bored, "Right now you should be concentrating on getting used to the idea of eternity. It truly is terrifying if you think about it, that is unless you have someone you love to spend it with." He gave Caroline a pointed look which brought out another genuine laugh.
"Haven't you spent all of your eternity alone?"
"I've always had my family with me, no matter what. Fighting is common with siblings you know," he began to elaborate, "you see, what I did to my family is essentially the same as you giving your mother the silent treatment for a day. Time is different for us vampires, a few decades are but a day. Time no longer means anything."
At his words Caroline found herself holding back tears, "Is eternity truly that miserable?" She whimpered, "I should just die now if I will be miserable the entire timeā¦
