"You're like the shiny new toy. Once you learn how to use that gift, you won't need to compulsion to control the minds of love-struck human boys, speaking from experience" Rebekah taught Mia as they walked side by side down the long corridor of the high school. Mia was eye candy and boys practically drooled as she walked by.
They walked over to the front office where a short old woman sat in a chair in front of a computer, "how may I help you young ladies?" the woman asked them.
Rebekah handed the woman Mia's papers after compelling the woman to find Mia a slot in all of her own classes. As the woman typed on the keyboard Rebekah turned around to give a wicked smile, not directed to Mia but the group of girls standing by the lockers not too far away. It was Elena, Bonnie and Caroline. Both friends stood in front of Elena as to shield her from the original and the new girl next to her. "Who's that?" Bonnie whispered.
"I can't remember her name I met her last night. She was in one of Klaus' coffins" Elena replied while stuffing books into her locker with no sense of fear or nervousness. She knew Rebekah couldn't hurt her or anyone else on her mother's terms. Esther made it clear last night at the ball that she was looking for peace within her family and this town, where they were planning to stay.
"What's she doing with the she-devil?" Caroline asked with her arms folded across her chest. "For your information she happens to be my BFF no compulsion necessary. Sorry girls we must be moving along, we have lessons to attend" Rebekah answered. Her words were tense and became harsh in tone in the presence of Elena which Mia couldn't understand why, and she didn't ask why.
Again they walked down the corridor to their first class. The teacher had not arrived in the class just yet and only two seats were free and spaced out across the room. "Move over there" Rebekah compelled a young boy with a head of brown curls and large glasses on his face that slowly kept sliding down.
His departure made room for Rebekah and Mia to sit beside each other, and near some boys in varsity jackets who made loud childish sounds and whistles as the two girls approached them.
"Is high school always like this?" Mia asked Rebekah.
"Just wait until the back to the falls party tonight. You ladies care to join us?" a human boy asked. He looked at Mia with a flirtatious smirk.
This human boy had the lightest green eyes and short dark brown hair spiked up in several areas of his head. The strong smell of hair product and body deodorant stung Mia's nostrils.
"Do you care to join us?" Rebekah answered for them by redirecting the question to the boys just as the bell rang.
"So what is this back to the falls exactly?" Mia asked.
"It's the human's back to school party. Sound like fun doesn't it" Rebekah said.
"What the party or the boys Rebekah?" Mia joked lightly.
"Both" Rebekah replied.
Kol slouched on the leather sofa in front of the widescreen T.V. with his feet rested on the wood of the coffee table. He was bored out of his mind as he flicked through the channels with the remote in his hand and a half empty bottle of beer in his other hand. With no one to kill and no girl to amuse him, life for him was completely laid back and lazy.
"My son don't you have somewhere to be?" Esther asked her young son who somehow managed to get properly dressed today. Kol only shrugged in reply.
"Where's that friend of yours, why don't you spend the day with her" his mother asked, bugging him about Mia Bella.
"Well she's away at some school with Bekah and my charm has proven useless against the beauty that is Mia Bella. Why are you bothering me?" Kol nagged like a human would when their mother keeps nagging them to clean their room.
"I will bother you because you need to be active. I can't have you alone here and intoxicated. You'll break things" Esther assumed. As a human when Kol was drinking he did stupid things especially when bored."That's your fault for declaring peace, meaning no killing" Kol said boldly with a cunning smile on his face.
"I will not have any of you murdering anyone in this town. You will behave like the clever boy that you are and you will go outside and act sensibly" his mother ordered him. Kol let out a loud sigh as he switched off the T.V. and made his way to the coat hanger before making his way out the door.
If his mother wanted him to interact with people then he would. He still had one thing forgotten on his to-do list; to visit the Salvatore house.
After school, Rebekah dragged Mia along with her to the street lined with clothing stores. They walked into a small boutique. The walls were painted a light blue colour and the floor was of medium brown wood flooring. Along the walls and in the centre were clothing rails lined with items of clothing in various colours.
They couldn't help but feel excited and they both let out a short giggle like normal teenage girls would. "The dress code is casual but sexy" Rebekah reminded her from the opposite side of the room and she strutted towards the long mirror in a short purple dress with spaghetti straps.
"I'll have to get shoes to go with this" Rebekah thought aloud to herself. Her ballet flats didn't go nicely with the dress, and they were heel-less. "Come on out I won't bite" Rebekah enticed her new found friend who walked out cautiously from the dressing room in a pale pink chiffon maxi skirt with a short white crop top over it. It looked cute and sensible for Mia.
"I like it" Rebekah complimented. After paying with Klaus' credit card (which Rebekah discreetly stole) they made their way to the next shop, and the one after that, and the one after that until they stopped for a short break at the Mystic Grill.
"Don't order their coffee, it has vervain in it" Rebekah warned as they sat down opposite each other in an inside booth. "Don't worry about it, I hate coffee" Mia told her. They ordered two ice teas and quickly downed it. They had to hurry back over to the mansion to prepare for the party later that night. Mia found it strange how she enjoyed her time with Rebekah.
She assumed that the original was like her brothers, her arrogant cheeky brothers. It wasn't long until the girls found themselves behaving like the typical human girls; fun, laughter, shopping. It was a friendship in the making or a friendship already begun.
"There are our girls" Klaus greeted once Rebekah and Mia walked into the living room filled with vampire men.
Rebekah's brothers were alarmed at the number of large shopping bags in their hands.
"what have you two been up to?" Klaus asked them, now realising what happened to his missing credit card.
"Getting away from the likes of you, brother. now please excuse us we have a party to attend" Rebekah bragged with an excited grin before turning away and heading up the stairs to her room; Mia following behind her with the same level of excitement as her BFF.
