No, no, no. This is not happening, Caroline thought to herself.

What the hell is he doing here? Probably here to check up on his precious doppelganger, she assured herself, and was surprised at the anger she felt. She would never admit it, but she hated the thought of Klaus coming to see Elena at school and not her.

"Well I'm going to be late to class, so I'll talk to you later Matt," Caroline said trying to escape the situation.

"Leaving so soon? But I just got here." Klaus said with his classic cocky grin.

Caroline ignored him and tried to walk around Matt, but as soon as she took the first step, Klaus grabbed her by her forearm. Caroline whipped her head around and before she could say a word, Klaus gently let her go.

"Don't be rude love, I came all this way just to see you," Klaus said, staring right into Caroline's eyes. All though when he said it he sounded forceful and sarcastic, his eyes made Caroline feel calm. Klaus looked Caroline over quickly, and she felt naked under his gaze. He was staring so intently, like he was trying to burn a hole in her. All of a sudden his eyes turned cold. He was staring at her wrist.

"Was my gift not up to your standards?" He said trying to keep his voice level, but he couldn't hide the anger in his face.

"What gift?" Matt asked Caroline.

Caroline had forgotten he was even standing there; her eyes hadn't left Klaus since the moment he arrived.

"Hmm, what?" Caroline said, finally snapping out of it.

"The gift, Care, what is he talking about?" Matt asked, his voice raising. Klaus smirked, clearly amused with the whole situation. He was watching Caroline intently; curious as to what she was going to say. Klaus didn't like that this human boy called Caroline by a nickname, but he hid his distain and waited for her response.

Caroline stayed silent, and just looked at Matt. She wished that she were anywhere but here right now. She didn't know how to explain the situation to Matt, and she didn't know how to explain what she was feeling to herself. She decided that neither Klaus, nor Matt, were going anywhere until she addressed them.

"Matt, we'll talk later okay? Just trust me, please," Caroline said, staring at Matt with pleading eyes. She didn't want to talk to him about it with Klaus standing right there, but she knew she would have to tell Matt soon.

"You think I'm going to leave you alone with him?" Matt asked staring right at Klaus, and not backing down. Matt was a good friend, he really was. But, this was too much for Caroline to deal with right now, and she really just wanted him to go.

"Matt, I'm fine. You don't have to protect me; I can take care of myself," She said, raising her voice. She was fed up with everyone treating her like a baby. She was the vampire here, not Matt. If anything, he needed her to protect him!

"I assure you, Matt, I mean no harm," Klaus chimed in. He always sounded so sarcastic, it was hard to tell if he was being serious or not. He glared at Matt with a look that would have scared a vampire. Klaus was getting annoyed with this human. His patience only went so far.

Matt looked back at Caroline, searching her face. He couldn't tell how she was feeling, she was acting so weird. Usually he knew exactly what she was thinking, but not this time. He looked from Caroline, to Klaus, and then back to Caroline.

"Fine. I'll see you later," Matt said, his feelings obviously hurt. He wasn't going to let this go. He deserved answers. He walked away, shaking his head.

Caroline exhaled a sigh of relief. Then she turned to Klaus. One down, one to go, she thought to herself.

"What the hell are you doing here? This is my school; you can't just show up like it whenever you feel like it! What if Damon or Elena saw you?" Caroline shouted. Klaus's expression didn't change, which just made her angrier. He just continued to stare at her, like he was trying to read her face.

"Hello? Are you deaf?" She said, angrier this time. She didn't want to deal with his games, not here, not now.

Klaus let out a low chuckle, "Good to see you too, love."

Caroline couldn't help but roll her eyes. He had the cockiest demeanor she had ever seen in a person. But then again, he wasn't really a human. He was a cold, soul less vampire, whose only goal in life was to hurt the people she cared about.

"Listen, I don't have time for your little hybrid games, just tell me what you're doing here so I can get to class," Caroline said, trying to keep her composure. He made her feel so uneasy and nervous. She had no idea what he was going to do or say next, and she wasn't used to that. But for some reason, she didn't mind.

"I just wanted to check up on my favorite baby vampire," Klaus said, looking her over again, "However, I am disappointed you aren't wearing my gift," he added with mock sadness.

"Yeah well when I get home from school today, I'm going to give it back," Caroline said trying to seem as confident as she could.

"Keep it, it was a gift," Klaus said, slowly walking closer to her. "Besides, a bracelet as beautiful as that one deserves to be worn by someone equally beautiful," he added in a soft whisper. Something about the way he spoke made Caroline feel nervous. When he leaned in closer to her as he whispered, Caroline caught herself staring at his lips. They were so perfect, and so sensual as he spoke.

But what was his game? She knew Klaus's only concern was making hybrids and torturing her friends and family. So why was he being so nice to her? Why did he give her that bracelet? Why did he save her? And most importantly, why did she like all of it?

"Listen, thanks for the bracelet, it's beautiful. But, you're not exactly someone I should be accepting gifts from," Caroline said, trying to be as polite as possible.

"Is that anyway to treat someone who saved your life?" Klaus asked, his voice serious and his eyes angry.

"Excuse me? It's your fault I was dying! I wouldn't need to be saved if it wasn't for you in the first place!" Caroline yelled, in shock that he had the audacity to think she should be grateful.

"It was merely a part of the plan, I needed your mother on my side, nothing personal, darling," Klaus said stepping closer to Caroline. He could smell her perfume, and had to fight the urge to get closer.

Caroline tried not to show her disappointment on her face. She knew that he only saved her for his own personal motives, but she couldn't help but wish that there were something more. She quickly shook that thought out of her head, reminding herself that he was the enemy.

"Okay well if you're done with your master plan to use me, you can leave me alone and get out of my way," Caroline said looking him straight in the eyes. She wanted him to know that she wasn't scared of him, even though that wasn't the case.

"Oh, I'm no where near done," He said, clearly amused.

Caroline turned to walk away but before she could take a step, Klaus was suddenly in front of her again.

"By the way, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow," He said with a smirk before walking away.

"What's tomorrow?" Caroline shouted after him.

"You'll see," Klaus said with a wink, and then just like that, he was gone.
