Chapter 2
(Klaus has his back towards his sister. He was a little surprised, to say the least, at what she suggested. He scoffs lightly, but continues to stay quiet. Rebekah notices this and speaks after a minute)
Rebekah: "You're quiet."
Klaus: "What the hell do you expect me to say?"
Rebekah: (shrugs) "For starters, you can admit that she's been on your mind for awhile now, months actually."
(Klaus slowly turns around to face Rebekah and leans against his desk, crossing his arms)
Klaus: (stares at her) "I admit nothing. I have not talked to her in months, I have not thought about her, and I have no intention of seeing her." (shrugs) "Just because I'm having a bad day doesn't mean it's because of her."
Rebekah: (raises her eyebrows) "Oh, no?"
(Rebekah walks slowly to her brother)
Rebekah: "Granted, you've been your usual bad self, but for the most part, you're pleasant." (tilts her head) "But since you left Mystic Falls, no one has wanted to be around you."
Klaus: (tilts his head & shrugs) "You're here, aren't you?"
Rebekah: "True." (raises her eyebrows) "But I'm also the one that has always called you out on your crap."
(Klaus glares at her before walking away from her)
Klaus: "I don't know what you think you know, Rebekah, but I have no intentions whatsoever of speaking to Caroline Forbes. She means nothing to me."
(Klaus goes to his liquor table and pours himself a drink. Rebekah turns around and rests her hands on the edge of the desk, leaning against it)
Rebekah: "Really? Are you saying you have no feelings for her? Because, right now, I find that hard to believe."
(Klaus quickly looks at his drink before taking a drink. Afterwards, he rests the glass on the table in front of him)
Klaus: (angrily) "I don't give a rat's ass what you believe, dear sister. You've always had a tendency of letting your mind wander and you're doing that right now. Why don't you go pry into someone else's mind and leave me the hell alone?"
(Rebekah walks slowly to Klaus while he takes another drink)
Rebekah: (smirks) "Oh, come on, brother. It's always been so much fun getting into your head." (sighs) "Besides, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out she's in your head." (squints her eyes) "Which I find weird considering you have your pick at all sorts of women." (tilts her head) "After all, how many have you bedded so far?" (chuckles softly) "I've lost count."
Klaus: (rolls his eyes) "Why don't you worry about your own sex life and quit worrying about mine?"
Rebekah: (nodding) "Oh, trust me, I have." (smirks) "But it doesn't mean I can't tease you."
(Rebekah pats Klaus on the back)
Rebekah: "Oh, come on, brother. You know perfectly well I could care less about who you sleep with. But what I do wonder about is whose face you picture when you're with them."
(Rebekah turns her brother so he's facing her and she looks at him seriously)
Rebekah: "And you and I both know whose face you imagine it being...even if you won't admit it."
(Klaus looks at Rebekah in the face angrily)
Klaus: "I will say it one more time and then I want the subject dropped. Got it?"
(Klaus roughly takes her chin into his hand to show her he means business. Rebekah is surprised by his roughness but doesn't let it show)
Klaus: "I have no desire for Caroline Forbes. I brought Lockwood back to her for a reason and that reason is because she loves him and he her. It's not my fault he chose revenge over her. If he were smart, he would realize his mistake before she truly does move on...and no, it won't be with me."
(Klaus rudely lets go of Rebekah's chin)
Klaus: "Now, get the hell out of here before I really do want to hurt you."
(Rebekah is tempted to respond to his violent threats, but decides against it as she's seen that look, that deadly look, before. One time she's seen it was when he allowed Tyler Lockwood to go back to Caroline and even though he refuses to admit it, he kept him away from her for a number of reasons, but one of those was that Klaus had feelings for the woman he claimed he wanted nothing to do with)
(Meanwhile, at the party on the college campus, Elena and Caroline are dancing with two guys. The ladies can't resist the urge to dance flirtatiously with their respected dates. After what seemed like hours, the girls are ready to take a break and get something to drink. After walking to the punch bowl, they each pick up a glass with punch in it and take a drink)
Caroline: (smiles) "This has got to be the most fun I've had in...I don't even know how long."
Elena: (giggles) "This has definitely been a night to remember." (smirks) "Not to mention how hot those guys were."
(Caroline gives Elena a look)
Caroline: "Gilbert, get your mind out of the gutter."
Elena: (laughs) "Oh, come off it, Car. Are you telling me you weren't thinking the exact same thing?"
(Caroline takes a pause from her drink and can't help but look at Elena with a guilty face, causing her friend to smirk)
Elena: "Now who has their mind in the gutter?"
(Caroline playfully scoffs and pushes Elena, causing her to look at her in slight shock. Caroline tilts her head and raises her eyebrows)
Caroline: "Now, who's creating trouble?"
(The ladies can't help but giggle as they continue to drink their beverage. All of a sudden, Caroline's mini purse starts vibrating. Caroline looks at her purse weirdly before putting her drink down on the table. Elena looks at her with a questionable look before speaking)
Elena: "What's wrong?"
Caroline: "I think someone is trying to call me. I put my phone on vibrate before we left."
Elena: (dryly) "Why did you even bring it?"
(Caroline gives Elena a look)
Caroline: "In case someone needed to get a hold of me if it was important."
(As Caroline gets her phone out of her purse, Elena tries to see who it is but can't tell)
Elena: "Who is it?"
Caroline: (shakes her head, confused) "I don't know. It says 'blocked number'. I don't get too many of those."
Elena: "Well, you won't know who it is until you answer it."
(Caroline presses the 'talk' button on her phone before putting it to her ear)
Caroline: "Hello?"
Person: "Caroline?"
Caroline: (puzzled) "T-Tyler? Is-Is that you?"
Tyler: "Yeah, it is. I need to talk to you."
