The students all chatted amongst themselves in shock, "no wonder why she's so gorgeous. She's a Salvatore" a blonde headed girl in the class said aloud. It was only Stefan, Elena, Bonnie and Caroline who shot each other confused and worried looks. How could she be a Salvatore?

"How is she related to you Stefan?" Elena asked during lunchtime when both she and her friends gathered in Alaric's classroom for another meeting.

"I have no idea; we had no other relatives who lived in Mystic Falls. And the family we had hardly even knew about vampires, even then" Stefan said.

"We need to speak with her maybe she'll tell us" Elena suggested.

"Elena I doubt she'll be willing" Stefan said.

"Stefan's right, besides she's with the she-devil every second of the day. You can't get near her without getting killed" Caroline told her. it was true, Mia never left Rebekah's side mainly because they were always busy doing girl things or the fact that Rebekah knew that Elena would want to speak with Mia, so Rebekah was merely trying to protect her friend from Elena or the Salvatores. Rebekah didn't trust Elena.

"How in the hell can you be a Salvatore? That's disgusting" Rebekah judged Mia.

"I'm a distant relative of the two beautiful vampire men wound up with-" Mia answered.

"But how..." Rebekah started, "can we please leave this in the do not discuss pile?" Mia asked.

"But then what gossip is there?" Rebekah asked, more or less whined.

"We can...talk about last night" Mia said.

"What happened last night?" Rebekah asked curiously.

"Can you keep a secret?" Mia asked.

"Duh!" Rebekah said loudly.

"I kissed a boy...and I liked it" Mia whispered.

"Omg Mia! You dog. Who's the lucky boy?" Rebekah congratulated.

"I don't remember him, I was wasted remember?" Mia lied straight to her best friend.

"Won't Kol be angry when he finds out" Rebekah guessed. Kol would be red with fury if he found out she kissed someone else, but he wouldn't; he was the boy she kissed.

"Yeah totally" Mia replied in an uneasy tone.

Kol looked out of the open window with a glum expression, the rays of sun hot to his skin and bright to his eyes. His skin started sizzling as he slid his day ring off his index right hand ring finger onto the small table in the living room. He groaned slightly from the pain of burning flesh; his bare muscular body having to suffer for his games.

"Kol put some clothes on" Klaus demanded and threw the pair of jeans in Kol's direction at the floor. Kol couldn't be lazier, too lazy to even bother slipping on a pair of jeans. He had been wondering around the large house all morning wearing nothing but his underwear.

"You're moping brother, it's not a good look on you" Klaus chuckled at how miserable he could act after being rejected by Mia, well half rejected for now. Ever since the night before he had not been himself; a true vampire turned to ice cream and whiskey to drown his sorrows.

"Shut up Nik, you're no better what with the blonde girl you've been chasing after ever since the ball" Kol said angrily to him in return to his brother's mockery. He quickly poured himself another whiskey, filling the glass to the brim until it leaked onto the wood of the coffee table.

"Hey I might not have the girl I want either but do you see me acting emo and burning my flesh just because I'm bored?" Klaus argued mockingly and not seriously. He had never seen his younger brother in such a dark corner.

The dark corner known as being in love, and Klaus was halfway there himself. He watched Kol stumble from the table where he then slouched himself down onto the couch with his feet up, and his day ring returned in its rightful place on his finger.

"I don't know why I even bother with love or whatever you call it. Emotional entanglements can lead us down dangerous paths with no return" Kol said, starting to sound like his old self again. The one who hardly cared for love, friendship, anything to do with relationships; that were why he was terrible with relationships he didn't know the first thing about them; hence why it ended quickly with him and Mia.

Later on that night at the grill...

Mia sat opposite Rebekah in a booth in the far corner of the Mystic Grill with a plate filled with greens, reds, and yellows in a colourful salad. Occasionally she would nibble on a French fry from the bowl shared between them while they both munched on salads as if obsessed with weight issues, but as a vampire this was not necessary.

You couldn't gain or lose weight once you're turned. The Grill was full with students from their high school. It was a Friday night and all were happy to be over with another week of school.

"I don't understand how men can be such pigs" Mia insulted as she monitored a few of teen boys stuffing their faces with round juicy burgers and fries, not exactly a pleasant sight. She lived in a time where men were a lot more polite with manners and decency.

"Speaking of pigs, look whose come to pay us a visit" Rebekah looked at the door as they were pushed open and her brothers walked in and over to their table. "Evening Rebekah, Mia" Elijah greeted and took a seat beside Rebekah in the booth.

Kol climbed in next to Mia with a devilish smile on his face; this time clothed in jeans and a long sleeved grey shirt with a black coat over it. "Good evening ladies" he greeted and raised the tall glass of Mia's ice tea to his lips for a sip.

Soon they were joined by both Klaus and Finn, who wasn't rather pleased with being forced to tag along. But the man needed to get out and have some fun; he was daggered for centuries and it was time to adapt. "So how was school?" Kol asked Mia as he started his own separate conversation with her, splitting from his brothers.

"Fine...just fine" she replied. His arm rested around her shoulders as he cocked his head to the side to look at her with his brown eyes, his gaze purposefully placed on her lips, which were covered with a red coloured lipstick. Mia knew he was watching her, trying to get her attention with his too cute grin which she couldn't resist looking at.

"You're blushing Mia" Kol whispered as a soft pink colour flushed across her cheeks, "if I didn't know any better, I'd be starting to think that you're warming up to me" he finished. She exhaled deeply in frustration and turned her head to hide a smile.

She wouldn't dare give in to the charming man known as Kol Mikaelson, whether she liked that kiss or not. "Don't push it Kol" Mia warned in a soft voice, Kol raised a finger to his lips with a smile before replying "Shh it's our little secret".

At this moment Kol couldn't be more adorable. He was a stubborn little boy. He really wouldn't give up on her.

"Quit it Kol!" Mia said loudly alerting the others of their conversation, but they had already heard some of what they were talking of, "how can I quit myself?" Kol asked.

"Move aside" Mia ordered and Kol slid across the seat to let her exit.

"Where are you going?" he asked her.

"To the bathroom" she responded hurriedly and made her way through the people to the door.

"She's heading to the bathroom. Are you sure you have to do this?" Bonnie asked from there table across the room from the originals. Earlier they had devised a plan to contact Mia, the new Salvatore.

"We can't get to her any other way" Elena told Bonnie.

"I don't understand why we're doing this anyway. It's not like she can help us kill them" Bonnie said. It was clear that Mia wasn't an original vampire, just a friend of them.

"I'm not just doing it for me. Damon and Stefan are going to want to know her, and Klaus hates them. I have to go through with it" Elena convinced herself.

"Fine...but you're crazy Elena" Bonnie said. She watched as Elena slid the vervain filled syringe up the sleeve of her jacket. She held it carefully and made her way over to the girl's bathroom where Mia just entered. She was crazy for what she was doing. She would be at the wrath of the Mikaelsons for this.
