Bonnie's P.O.V

On Friday, my first hour went by very quickly. I made my way to my seat in my second hour. Caroline was already seated and talking to Sue next to her. She noticed me and gave me a big smile, which I returned. "Hey girly."

"Hey Caroline."

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to a party this week."

"Party?"

"Matt and Tyler are throwing it, it's their 'victory party'."

"Victory for what?"

"Winning the last game."

"Right." I nodded.

"So are you in?"

"When is it?"

Caroline smiled, sensing my answer. "It's tonight, I can pick you up and we can go together."

"Okay, I go."

"Awesome."

I laughed as Caroline then turned around and told Sue I would be joining them.

I smiled to myself, getting excited about the party. This was not the first party I had been to, but I would actually have friends here. Caroline and I were spending a lot of time together, I had also started hanging out with Matt and Tyler.

I gave my address to Caroline after class and made my way to history. I took my seat and started to prepare for class. I noticed Meredith and Sage walk in together. They both had failed to make an appearance since my first day. I was beginning to think they had a problem with me.

Sage had noticed my eyes on them and gave me a gentle smile. "Hello Bonnie."

"Hi." I said, giving a small wave.

Meredith's attention had turned to me. I noticed the dark look that she wore wasn't present today, she was more stoic. Sage nudged her arm, and she gave a small smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Hey." She said before taking her seat across from me.

Sage followed her actions as he took his seat behind her and beside me. "How have you been?" He asked

"I'm fine."

"You like Fell's Church?"

"Yeah, it's pretty great."

"What are you crazy?" Meredith turned around, facing me. "You could do so much better than Fell's Church."

"No…I really do like it here." I said, nervously.

"Even with Tanner?" Sage said, jokingly.

I laughed as I nodded. "You got a point there."

"I'm sorry about the seat thing on your first day. I was having a bad day." Meredith apologized

I shook my head. "No, it's fine."

She gave me an apologetic smile before Tanner came in. Everyone's attention went to him as he started to write today's topic on the board. My gaze turned back to Meredith, whose eyes were trained on the board, and her face had went back stoic. I started to wonder what caused the change in her. She really didn't seem to like me when we met, and now she's just different. I shook my head free of the thoughts as I turned back to Mr. Tanner.

After my third hour I met up with Caroline at lunch again. I sat down next to Matt, who was talking the party with Tyler. He noticed me and smiled. "What's up Bon?"

"Hey."

"So, Care told me you're coming to the party tonight."

"Yeah, what time does the party start?"

"Around 8, but there's no need to rush, Tyler's parties usually don't end until late."

Tyler heard us talking and turned towards us. "It's true."

"Your parents don't mind?"

Matt and Tyler looked to each other, then laughed at my statement. "My parents don't know, even if they did they probably wouldn't care."

I nodded as Caroline turned away from Sue and Dick. "What are you wearing?" I looked down at my outfit thoughtlessly and back to Caroline. "You're not wearing that to the party are you? No offense but those aren't party clothes." I stared back at her silent to her statements. She then impassively waved her hand. "It's fine, that's why I'm here, I'll help you pick something out."

"Thanks." I said, nonchalantly staring ahead.

Elena's P.O.V

Stefan and I made our way to our usual table and met Damon, Sage, and Meredith. We took our seats, before I noticed the uncomfortable expression on Meredith's face. "You okay?"

She looked at me and gave an unsure nod. "Yeah, I just don't like playing nice with the witch."

My gaze traveled over to Bonnie, who was talking to Caroline, Matt, and Tyler. "I know…but we agreed-"

She raised a hand to cut me off. "I know, I didn't say I would like it." She said, darkly.

Sage reached over and took Meredith's hand in his own. She visibly relaxed under his touch. Since Meredith became a vampire, it seems the only thing that would calm her down was Sage. My thoughts then wandered back to the conversation we all had yesterday about Bonnie.

We all had been hanging at the boarding house, deciding what was the best course of action with Bonnie…again.

"I'm sorry Elena, but your plan to do nothing isn't gonna work." Meredith said, pacing back and forth.

"She's done nothing wrong."

"Try saying that when we're all up in flames." Damon said, sarcastically, leaning on the wall.

"We don't know if she's like Emily." Stefan stepped in. "We don't even know if she has her powers." I smiled at Stefan for the support, which he returned.

"Every with in the McCullough line has powers." Damon argued back.

"And we thought Emily was harmless to us…Elena do you remember how she betrayed us? How she betrayed me?" Meredith said, her voice faulting a little.

I set forth to go to her, but Sage beat me to it. He wrapped his arms around her, and she leaned into his calming touch. I looked to Sage, not wanting to bring him into this, but his opinion was needed. "What do you think?"

He looked at all of us individually, trying to decide which side to take. We were all like a family and we all loved and would die for each other. Despite our closeness, choosing sides was still very difficult. "She's not Emily. I think she can be trusted."

Stefan and I nodded in agreement, Damon remained indifferent, and Meredith's expression changed to disbelief. "Sage?"

"Well, what else should we do about her, Mere. We can't kill her."

"Meredith…" Stefan said, gently. "You've met her, do you think she's a threat?" She remained silent as she thought about his question.

"We love you Mere, and if you don't want to face this again, we'll leave Fell's Church." I said, hoping my solution soothed her.

"We'll go back to Paris." Sage added

"Or Florence." Stefan said, smiling at the thought.

Meredith gave us a grateful smile. "You would do that?"

"Of course."

She gave a reluctant sigh. "We shouldn't have to leave because of me." She looked around the room. "I can deal with Bonnie."

I nodded, unsurely. "Are you sure?"

"After we make sure she's not a threat to us."

We all nodded, except Damon, who snorted at us. "The McCullough witches don't fully come into their powers until they become 18." He stated

"So?" I asked, wondering where this was going.

"We might wanna hurry if we're gonna make nice with her."

"I think we should try getting to know about her." I suggested "So if she does get her powers, she will we aren't the enemy."

Everyone looked to Meredith, who had still been in deep thought. She looked up and our eyes met. She didn't say anything, but we had a sister like bond that told me she agreed, even before she nodded.

"So, party tonight are we going?" Sage asked

"Why would we go to a party?"

"Bonnie's going."

"She is?"

"Weren't you listening?"

I shook my head. "No, not really."

"I think we should go." Meredith added

I looked to Stefan, and he just nodded. "Okay."

"Guess it's party time." Damon said, looking in Bonnie's direction.

Bonnie's P.O.V

I rode home with Caroline after school. When we got to my house we brushed passed my mom to go to my room, leaving her with a confused expression on her face. I saw that Caroline liked my room, and a part of me was glad. "Not bad, McCullough." She said, approvingly.

I smiled as I made my way over to my closet. "What are you wearing to this party?"

She shrugged as she made her way over to me. "I don't know, I think Matt likes me in blue."

I nodded nonchalantly, until her statement dawned on me. "Matt? You and Matt?"

She dreamingly sighed before picking out a red dress of mine. "No, well, at least not yet." She hung the outfit back up and went to search for another one. "But soon." She then picked out a black knee length dress I had only worn once. "This is perfect." I took the dress from her grasp and went to put it on. When changing, I heard Caroline's voice through the door. "So, is there any guys you think are cute?"

I chuckled to myself. "Not really, I'm not looking."

"I bet you and Tyler would make the best couple. Besides me and Matt."

"Tyler?" I asked, disbelievingly as I stepped back in.

"Yeah…" She trailed off as she took in my appearance. "You look hot, Bon." I blushed at the compliment and turned to look at myself in the mirror. "Okay, let's go." She said before leaving out of my room. I said a quick bye to my mom before leaving with Caroline. We spent time at her house while she decided what she wanted to wear. She held up two similar dresses for me to view. "Dark blue or light blue?"

I stared at the two dresses. "I like the dark blue." I answered.

"Me too, it matches his eyes." I laughed, amused at Caroline's antics. She quickly put on the dress and rearranged her hair. "We have to hurry, we're picking up Sue and Vicki."

I nodded as I followed her back to her car. After picking them two up, we all made our way to Tyler's party. We were immediately greeted by Tyler and Matt. "Hey guys." Caroline said, flashing a flirtatious smile at Matt.

They both looked us over before looks of approval crossed their faces. "You girls look good." Matt said

"Thanks." Caroline and I replied in unison.

Caroline looked around the party, taking in the scene. "Looks like the whole school showed up."

Matt nodded, his eyes trailing around. "Yeah, it's a great turnout. Can you believe that even Elena Gilbert came?"

Caroline's face became somewhat bitter at the mention of Elena. "Elena's here?"

"Yeah, and the Salvatores, Sage, and the dark haired girl."

"Meredith." I supplied.

"Yeah, they're all here."

"Why?" Caroline asked, annoyed.

"The party is open to everyone, Care." Tyler said, his lips curved into a smirk. "You're not still mad about Salvatore choosing Elena over you, right?"

Her expression became angry as Matt and Tyler began to laugh, and I barely held back my chuckle. "Whatever Tyler, come on Bonnie." She said, walking off.

"I'll see you later." I said to them before following after her. "What was that all about?" I asked when I caught up to her.

"Nothing." She muttered

I grabbed her arm, stopping her. "You can tell me. We're friends right?"

She sighed, "Last year I started liking Stefan and…he made it clear that he would rather be with Elena."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine, he was not who I thought he was." We stayed in silence until she spoke back up. "This is a party, we're supposed to be having fun."

"Okay."

"I'm going to go find Sue. I'll be back." I nodded as she walked off. I stood around listening the music that was playing.

"Leaving you here alone, that was rude." I spun around to be met with Stefan's brother. I applauded myself for not staring or drooling at the sight of him. "Then again it's Caroline so no surprises there."

His words sunk in, and I found my voice. "S-she's coming back."

"That's unfortunate." He flashed a smile at me before sticking out a hand. "We haven't officially met, Damon Salvatore."

I took his hand in my own, ignoring the feeling I got when I took it. "Bonnie McCullough."

"Want to go somewhere in talk?"

I was about to respond when another voice cut in. "Damon?"

"Elena."

"What are you doing?"

"Getting to know Bonnie here." He said, gesturing to me.

She looked between us before smiling at me. "Hi, I'm Elena."

"I know, from the office."

"Right."

"Elena if you don't mind, Bonnie and I were busy."

Elena was about to retort when Caroline walked back up to us. "What are you doing here?" She asked, not bothering to hide the bitterness from her voice.

"Caroline…" Elena started, "How are you?"

"Up until this point I was fine."

I watched the three with curious eyes. I couldn't shake the feeling that the drama between them was way more the a love triangle.

Elena's smile faulted a little. "Caroline, I want us to be friends again."

"I don't." Damon cut in.

"That's never gonna happen." Caroline's eyes flickered to me. " Do me a favor: stay away from my friends."

"Bonnie can make her own decisions." He said

She smiled sarcastically before turning to me. "Matt got us some drinks, everyone's waiting."

I turned to Elena and Damon, who both seemed to be glaring at Caroline. My curiosity about them made me want to stay a while longer, but I decided to go with Caroline. "Bye." I said, giving a small wave to them.

We started to walk off. I took another glance back at them. I saw the polite smile Elena gave me and the smirk from Damon. I also heard the last words he said, "Be seeing you, Bonnie."
