"It's alright Kol, playing sports just doesn't run in our family" I say trying to comfort my younger brother who just glares at me in response.
"My life is ruined, I'm literally talking to you right now. That's how bad my social status is" he argues.
I glare at him in response but don't comment anything. I grab my bags out of my locker, handing a few to Kol, before slamming the door shut and turning around the corner towards Alaric's classroom. Today is the day of the school camping trip, which will be chaperoned by 'Mr. Saltzman' , Mr. Gregory, and Mrs. Morgan, the other history teachers. The trip was suppose to be seniors only but of course Kol managed to weasel his way onto our bus.
"Step aside everyone, Kol Mikaelsson, future NFL all star, has entered the building" Damon comments the moment we step into the room.
Kol glares at him and deciding to defend him before he does something stupid I say, "Oh shut up Damon, as if you could do any better"
"Rebekah! Respect your classmates!" Alaric scolds me the moment the words are out of my mouth.
"But-" I cut myself short when I see the look on his face, "Yes sir" I mutter with a sigh.
"Watch that tone of yours, we don't need any of your attitude ruining our first class trip!" He adds
"I don't have attitude" I argue trying to remain calm.
"Stop talking back, I'm running out of detention slips!" He says handing one of the yellow pieces of paper to me. I begin to wonder if he has a stamp with my name and student ID number to save time when writing these.
I take my seat deciding its probably best to stay silent and not risk adding another detention to the pile. Bonnie sits across from me and I notice her scribbling in a notebook, practically oblivious to all the conversations going on around her.
"What are you writing?" I question, leaning over to try and get a better look.
She quickly closes the book and mummers, "Nothing."
"Well, you're putting a lot of effort into nothing." I point out contemplating whether I should risk grabbing the book and earning myself a suspension for 'Touching items that do not belong to you' or 'bullying my classmate'.
"She is isn't she." Kol says, coming up from behind Bonnie and grabbing the book. He sits down in the seat behind me and begins flipping through the pages as Bonnie attempts to take it back. I lean over the back of my chair and read along with Kol.
"The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II..."
After reading the first line I turn to Bonnie and say "Are you honestly doing your History Essay right now?"
Alaric assigned an essay on The Great Depression about a week ago and the deadline is today. I worked the whole weekend on my essay being sure that it was perfect. Chances are Alaric will start grading me from 80 so the better my essay, the better the chances I won't end up with a 33 like last time.
"I had it done but Kol wrote 'I love Kol' in Sharpie all over it yesterday night." Bonnie defends looking towards Alaric's desk to make sure he hasn't heard. Damon is talking to him and Alaric seems pretty intrigued in the conversation.
"And why exactly were you with Kol yesterday night?" I question with a smile.
Bonnie blushes and grabs the journal out of Kol's hands before saying, "I was at the grill and he showed up."
"Is that the cover story we're going with?" Kol asks shooting Bonnie a wink. She rolls her eyes but I notice a slight smile on her face.
"Alright everyone, take out your essays. I'm collecting them, then we're going to go over the rules for this trip" Alaric announces.
Bonnie rushes her writing and begins writing a bunch of rubbish that sounds like Great depression facts. I pull out my essay which is written neatly in black pen, print not script, just like Alaric asked. When he walks by my row I hand him my paper and he grabs it in disgust, but doesn't say anything. Finally, he reaches Bonnie who looks up at him nervously.
"Bonnie, where's your essay?" he asks
Bonnie sighs, "It's a really long story but-"
"Oh it's right here" Alaric says holding up a piece of paper. Bonnie and Kol look just as confused as I am, and I raise my head a little so I can see who's paper Alaric is holding.
"You forgot to write your name Bonnie" Alaric says handing the paper back to her.
"Wait, that's mine!" I say recognizing the paper I spent hours of hard work on.
"Where's your proof?" Alaric says turning to me with a glare.
I sigh, I can't believe I forgot to write my name after all the work I put into it. I look between Bonnie and Alaric before saying, "It's mine you can check the hand writing, it's mine! Bonnie doesn't have hers because Kol ruined it!"
"That story may sound some what true considering Kol is related to you, but unless you give me solid evidence that this paper is yours, it's Bonnie's" Alaric counters
"How can Bonnie prove it's hers!" I object
"Bonnie, is it yours" he asks simply turning to her.
Bonnie pauses as if deep in thought, looking between me, Alaric, and the paper in his hand. After a few moments she sighs before nodding saying, "Yah, it's mine"
"WHAT!" I argue
"No yelling in class Rebekah! If Bonnie says it's hers, I believe her. She's much more recordable then you" he says with a glare as he hands Bonnie the paper back and she scribbles her name on top.
"I swear Bonnie-" I start but am cut off by Ric who says,
"Rebekah! No swearing in class! One more strike and you're out!"
I remain completely silent not wanting to risk even an apology. I chose to glare silently at Bonnie who mutters a 'sorry' and I make sure to tune out Alaric as he goes over the rules for this trip. I silently begin to wonder what possessed me to chose to come.
Damon
"Remind me again what on Earth possessed you to get back with her" Katherine says for what must be the millionth time this week.
"Because, Katherine, I love Elena, and if you have a problem with her then our friendship can easily be terminated" I say. The line sounds rehearsed considering how many times I've had to say it to her.
"I can still call her Satan sometimes, right?" she asks
I sigh turning to see Elena boarding the bus along side Caroline. "Only when she can't hear you" I decide.
She laughs slightly before replying, "Is that the rule you live by? Only insult her when she can't hear you?"
"I would answer that question but" I turn to look at the bus once again before leaning in closer to her whispering sarcastically, "She can hear us"
"Right." Katherine responds with an eye roll before pushing past me to get on the bus. I'm about to follow her, but I see Alaric discussing something on the phone. I walk over and listen in on the conversation.
"Yes, Everything should work out perfectly." A female voice that I can't seem to place says.
"Are you sure? The last thing I need is the bus breaking down on us." Alaric responds just as I approach him.
I raise an eyebrow and he brushes me off just as the lady assures him, "The bus will safely transport you and your students to your destination."
Alaric glances towards the bus as if contemplating this and then says, "Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Dervan."
"Goodbye. Have a wonderful trip." The lady says before the line goes dead. Alaric puts the phone away and turns to me sighing.
"Whats wrong?" I question.
"The bus was having some issues yesterday but the company claims all the problems were fixed." He explains.
"And you think otherwise?" I ask looking towards the giant yellow bus.
Alaric goes quiet for a few seconds before deciding, "It'll be fine. Now lets go. We don't want to be late!"
He ushers me onto the bus and the second I get on I have a feeling this is going to be a long trip.
Caroline
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin? Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in. You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night, like the fourth of July"
"Yep, but he said it'll probably be another week at least" I explain to Elena who nods in understanding.
"Well I hope Lexi's doing okay. It must be hard losing the person you're in love with like that" she replies.
I can't help but let my gaze drift to Klaus when she says this, and sure enough his eyes are already on me. I hold his gaze for a few moments before forcing myself to look away. It's so hard to just ignore him, but being near him knowing we can't be together is even harder.
"Hey Elena, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?" Kol asks turning towards us. He sits in the seat behind us with Bonnie trapped in the window seat, although I doubt she minds all that much.
"What?" Elena replies, just as confused as I am.
"You get it, because you're Satan" Kol says before bursting into laughter along with Katherine who sits in the seat across from him.
Elena rolls her eyes at their joke and at this moment Damon enters the bus along with Alaric. "What did I say about the satan jokes?" he mutters in a scolding tone as he slides into the seat next to Katherine. I notice Elena looks slightly bothered by this, but doesn't say anything.
"You said I couldn't call her Satan, you mentioned nothing of Kol" Katherine corrects him. Damon rolls his eyes but doesn't object any further.
"Is that everyone?" Alaric asks looking up and down the rows. He's about to close the doors when Matt bursts through followed by a boy who I recognize from the football team, Dan, I think.
"Sorry Mr. Saltzman" the boy apologizes.
"It's okay Drew" Alaric replies closing the door as Matt and Drew take the front seat that no one else wanted, which happens to be right in front of Elena and I.
"We had to make a food run" Matt adds before pulling a pack of Oreos from his bag and tossing them to Katherine.
She catches the bag with ease and flashes Matt a smile, "Thanks Matty, you're the best"
"What about me?" Drew says shooting Katherine a flirtatious smile.
Katherine gives him a look of disgust before saying, "Matty, did I give your friend permission to talk to me?"
"I don't recall that" Matt replies sounding amused by the tone of Katherine's voice and the look on Drew's face.
"Be sure to remind him of that" She decides with one last eye roll.
"Rejected" Kol sings causing Damon and Matt to laugh while Bonnie mutters, "Why me?"
"She likes me" Drew whispers to Matt shooting Katherine a wink.
"You're a brave man Drew" Kol says with a chuckle.
"Thanks, Klaus is it?" Drew replies turning to Kol with a look of confusion.
"Kol" he corrects him not seeming amused by the mistake of identity.
"Oh right, the one who can't play football" Drew says with a chuckle. Bonnie seems to find this quite amusing and even Elena and I spare a laugh.
"You know what, I'm taking a page from Katherine's book. You, are no longer aloud to talk to me" Kol decides
"There goes my day! Now I'm going to be stuck talking to these two beautiful girls" Drew replies, turning his attention to me and Elena, "I didn't quite catch your names" he says with a bright smile.
"Elena" she says introducing herself first.
"Caroline" I add with a smile just as bright as the one he gave us.
"And I'm Damon, the boyfriend" Damon says breaking in with a not so friendly smile.
"Of both of them? Wow, you guys are a weird bunch" Drew replies earning a few chuckles while Damon looks unamused.
"He's my boyfriend" Elena clarifies.
"Right, and may I safely assume that you're single?" Drew says turing his full attention on me. I can't help but look at Klaus from the corner of my eye when he asks this question. He appears to be listening in on our conversation and doesn't look to happy about it. I once again remind myself we're done, he has no right to be mad about anything.
"Perfectly single at the moment" I reply
"Then it must be my lucky day"
Klaus
"And then he gave the paper to Bonnie! Can you believe that? My paper, which I worked Very hard on, to stupid Bonnie Bennet! He's so bloody unfair!" Rebekah complains. I roll my eyes and ignore her once again, listening to the conversation going on in the front of the bus which is far more interesting.
"So you moved here from Tennessee?" Caroline says with interest flashing in her eyes, "That's so cool! Explains the accent I guess"
"You're in luck, Caroline has a major thing for accents" Katherine adds causing Caroline to blush. This only makes me far more angry then I already was.
"Oh, so you're talking to me now?" Drew replies in a manner that manages to do something never before achieved by anyone else. He gets Katherine to shut up.
"So, you're on the football team, right?" Caroline asks
"Yep, I mean, I'm not as good as Kol but I am on the team" He replies causing the majority of the group, minus Kol, to laugh.
"I swear I'm going to kill him." Kol mutters under his breath which only seems to amplify the laughter.
"Well, I'm a cheerleader." Caroline says as the laughter dies down. I roll my eyes at this statement, just as Rebekah hits my shoulder. I turn away from the front of the bus and give her a look that suggests she should leave me alone. Being Rebekah, she doesn't take the hint.
"Are you even listening to me?" She questions.
"No, now for the love of god, shut up." I respond before attempting to tune back into the conversation.
"Elijah!" Rebekah whines turning to our brother who sighs and puts his book down.
"Niklaus, perhaps you could just ask Rebekah to give you a moment to.. um.. process this lovely information she has shared with us." Elijah says shooting me a 'you're only going to make her worst' look.
"You see I would do that, but that would be lying, and considering you told me just last week that lying is wrong." I point out giving him a smug look before turning back to the front of the bus.
"That must have been so hard for you. My parents are divorced too." I catch Caroline saying looking concerned and placing a hand on Drew's arm.
"My parents are both dead." Damon comments which causes both Elena and Katherine to echo 'same'.
Caroline shoots Damon a look and he rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, I guess I've gotten over it. That's when my mom packed us up and brought my sister and I here. Mystic Falls, Virgina. I have to say, I wasn't exactly too happy about coming here, but suddenly I've had a change of heart." Drew explains giving Caroline a smile that only infuriates me more.
"So let me get this straight, you lived in Baileyton,Tennessee, and your father cheated on your mother with the town doctor, a.k.a. your moms best friend?" Bonnie asks, recapping what I must have missed. Perfect. The southern football player comes with a sad sob story.
"Yep." Drew clarifies causing Bonnie to nod.
"What's it like there?" Caroline questions her gaze not leaving Drew's for a minute.
"It's a small little town. Real nice though. Type of place where everybody seems to know everybody." Drew explains smiling fondly.
"I guess that backfired considering just how well your dad got to know the Doctor." Kol says with a smirk causing Katherine to high five him and Bonnie to hit his shoulder.
"What Kol meant to say is that it sounds like a great place." Caroline says shooting Kol a look.
"That is exactly what I mean to say, thank you for clarifying Caroline." Kol says giving her a smile.
"You should visit there some time. You would like it a lot." Drew decides.
"Maybe you could take me." Caroline responds with a flirty smile that makes it extremely hard not to jump up and snap Drew neck right then and there.
"Oh yes, and then you and Caroline can visit your dad, and your new mom!" Kol says with a bright smile that causes Drew's smile to falter for a moment. I remind myself to thank him for this later.
"Wait, I think I see what's going on here. You have a crush on Caroline don't you Kol" Drew says causing Katherine and Damon to laugh. I can't help but noticed an annoyed look pass over Bonnie's face, one that Kol seems to notice as well.
He smirks before saying, "You caught me. Caroline, I have been secretly in love with you for years, please make my day by agreeing to be my girlfriend"
Caroline giggles at this before saying, "Sorry Kol, but no thanks"
"We all know Caroline prefers another Mikaelson brother" Katherine adds.
Kol holds a hand over his heart feigning hurt, "I am truly heartbroken, Bonnie hold me" Kol then leans into Bonnie who rolls her eyes pushing him away.
"Wow, I have terrible luck with girls today" Kol says with disbelief.
"You've probably been spending too much time with Rebekah" Damon decides, causing Kol and Katherine to chuckle.
"Nik!" Rebekah whines shoving me so hard I almost fall out of my seat.
"Rebekah I swear" I say trying to keep my temper in check
"Instead of staring at her like an idiot why don't you go talk to her" She suggests.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I say with a shrug.
"Right, you weren't just staring at Caroline Forbes. I'm imagining things" She mumbles rolling her eyes.
"I'm sure Alaric will have no problem dropping you off at a mental institution" I offer.
She shoves me once again before turning to Elijah, "Elijah! Tell Nik if he won't engage in conversation he has to go!"
Elijah sighs, far too polite to tell Rebekah how annoying she is to her face. "Niklaus, perhaps Rebekah is right, you should go talk to Caroline"
I roll my eyes at his comment but allow my gaze to drift back to Caroline who is laughing at something Drew said which was more than likely not funny at all. "Actually, there is someone I want to talk to" I decide before getting out of my seat and heading to the front of the bus before I can lose my courage
Elena
"Oh, so you want to be a dentist, that's so cool!" Caroline says in response to Drew's explanation of his dream job
"You'd think he would want to steer clear of any job in the medical field considering his bad luck with doctors" Kol remarks causing Katherine and Damon to laugh. The three of them had remained out of the conversation, for the most part, when they weren't insulting Drew. I shoot Damon a look and he mouths back "I love you"
"Thanks, what about you? Given any thought to what you want to be when you grow up?" Drew returns with a smile
Before Caroline can respond we are interrupted by Klaus who walks down the aisle until he stands right in front of Caroline. "Hello Elena" he greets with a smile.
"Um, hey" I say confused at why he only addressed me.
"Move" Klaus instructs Kol who looks as if he is going to object, but thinks better of it.
"Thank you" Bonnie mutters in relief when Kol stands up and Klaus slips into the seat next to her.
"Scoot over" Kol instructs Katherine who rolls her eyes but complies with his request. She moves over so that she is so close to Damon she's practically sitting on his lap and I try my best not to let this bother me.
"Making new friends are we?" Klaus says turning to me with a smile, motioning to Drew with a not so happy expression.
"Right, Klaus, this is Drew" I say
Drew extends his hand for Klaus to shake but Klaus just rolls his eyes and looks at Drew's hand with disgust, "Why have I not seen you before?" he questions.
"Drew just moved here from Tennessee" Caroline breaks in to explain.
"Caroline! Didn't see you there" Klaus replies with a mocking smile which causes Caroline to roll her eyes. She looks a mixture of annoyed and hurt and I can't help but wonder why considering she always complains about how Klaus never leaves her alone.
"Perhaps your love for her blinded you" Kol suggests causing the trio to burst into laughter once again.
Klaus glares at Kol but doesn't say anything regarding his comment, "So what are you all talking about?" he asks
"Future jobs" I explain, doubting any answer from Caroline, Drew, or Kol would have been as pleasant.
"Interesting. Well, Elena here happens to have quite the future as a painter" He replies with a chuckle.
I roll my eyes and blush in embarrassment knowing the reality is quite the opposite, "Maybe in a hundred years or so" I reply.
"Well we have all the time in the world, trust me I'll have you painting like a professional in no time" He promises with a light smile.
"You're teaching her how to paint?" Caroline asks before I can say anything.
Klaus looks at her as if he's surprised she said anything. "Trying my best to" he replies with a chuckle shooting me a knowing look.
"I'm not that bad!" I argue
"Of course not Luv, those stick figures you drew have a lot of potential" he replies sarcastically
I sigh shaking my head holding back my laughter "I guess Jer's the one who got the art skills in the family"
"Yes well, skill can be learned" he decides
"Hopefully" I mutter with a giggle
"So, how come you never taught me to paint?" Caroline asks Klaus with a smile that seems more fake then real.
"You never asked" Klaus replies simply with a shrug.
"Hey Caroline, maybe Drew can teach you to paint" Kol suggests sarcastically.
"Or he could teach you how to cheat on people with a doctor, since that skill runs in his family" Katherine suggests and the two burst out laughing.
Drew is obviously bothered by the comment but simply says, "Actually my aunt is an artist. She owns an art gallery up in New York City, I've been drawing and painting since I was a kid"
"Then maybe you can teach me" Caroline says shooting him a flirtatious smile.
"Probabaly better that way, teaching Elena can be a full time job" Klaus decides and I notice Caroline frown at this.
"I'm not that bad!" I point out once again, "And you know, you're not exactly the best teacher in the world"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Draw some lines Elena, no no not like that, longer. And you're shading is so off and the texture is all wrong and the lighting is terrible and the color scheme makes no sense!" I say mockingly in an impression of his voice.
I expect him to get somewhat angry at the criticism but he just laughs it off, "Well to be honest I've always known I'm not meant to be a teacher"
"The why'd you offer?" I reply.
"Maybe I just wanted to spend time with you" he says, his voice low as he smiles at me yet again. I feel my cheeks get red and I;m left completely confused at why he's so obviously flirting with me. I'm not sure how to respond, so I don't.
"Damon, I think Klaus is attempting to flirt with your girlfriend" I hear Katherine say as she nudges him. I turn to see he is playing some game on Kol's phone and seems oblivious to what's going on.
"Elena, you good?"
"I'm fine" I reply, unsure of how else to answer that question.
"She's fine" he says, barely sparing Katherine a glance, as he shoves her back playfully.
"I think I'm turning him into Jeremy" Kol whispers to her and I notice Bonnie roll her eyes at this.
"We should hang out some time" Klaus says out of nowhere.
"What?" I reply confused.
"You and I, we should go somewhere, do something minus the easel and the paint brush" he says, his gaze not leaving mine.
"She has a boyfriend!" Caroline says shoving him before I can bring up the point myself.
"I wasn't asking you Caroline" he replies in a tone that suddenly makes it quite obvious why he decided to start flirting with me.
"I don't care who you were asking! What's wrong with you?! Can you not see she has a boyfriend, who is sitting less than five feet away? Are you so full of yourself that you have no regard for others and there feelings! This is exactly why I-"
All of the sudden the bus stops violently, throwing a few people out of their seats. Alaric sighs waiting till the motion has completely stopped before getting up and saying, "We're having some... difficulties. I need you all to stay seated and remain calm. With any luck we'll be back on the road soon"
Katherine
"What did you do Ric?" Damon questions as we stand outside with Alaric who ordered all of us to just stay in our seats which very few people obliged to.
"Damon, can you please get back on the bus. You too Katherine." He says with a sigh walking around with his phone held high trying to get signal.
"Oh come on Ric. I can help. Do we need to change a tire or something?" I plead, kicking the tire with my foot.
"Nope, and stop saying that." He states simply, finally giving up and placing the phone in his pocket.
"What?" I ask, turning to him with a questioning look.
"You guys have to start calling me Mr. Saltzman." He explains simply.
"I thought we were closer than that Ric." I say making a point to emphazize his name.
He rolls his eyes and then hands me his phone and a business card. "You want to help, find some connection and call this number. Tell them the bus broke down, and we need someone to come as soon as possible."
I flash him a smile and take the phone and business card. I begin to walk away, but Damon stops me grabbing my arm. "I'll help." He decides taking the phone out of my hand and walking ahead of me.
"So, are you not bothered at all by Klaus flirting with your girlfriend?" I question as we fall into a slow pace together.
"No. I trust Elena." He responds simply.
"Really? You honestly still trust her after she literally cheated on you with your best friend?" I laugh lightly before saying "Its kind of sad how she has you wrapped around her finger. "
"Katherine, I'm really getting tired of hearing you complain about Elena, so I suggest you either shut up or-"
"Our friendship can be easily terminated." I finish for him with a bright smile before rolling my eyes.
"Exactly." He confirms holding the phone up and stopping.
"There's a bar. Give me the number." He holds a hand out expectantly and turns to me when I am still yet to hand it over. He raises an eyebrow and I smile in return.
"Do we really want to call the number? Then the bus gets fixed or we get saved, and the adventure is over. What if we were just unable to find signal, or perhaps I dropped the phone right into a puddle." I say slowly, hitting the phone out of his hand and watching it fall to the ground, cracking in the process. "Whoops."
"Katherine what is wrong with you!" Damon yells.
"You'll thank me later." I decide before turning around and heading towards the bus.
"You've been spending too much time with Kol you're starting to go crazy" he decides quickening his pace to catch up to me
"Jealous" I say in a taunting tone.
"Yes, it breaks my heart watching the two of you together" he says sarcastically.
I roll my eyes at this and we board the bus where everybody seems to have piled up in the first few rows of seats. "Katerina, you're just in time! It's Bonnie's turn!" Kol says with a bright smile.
"Bonnie's turn?" Damon questions
"We're playing a game, two truths and a lie" Caroline explains.
"And apparently it's my turn" Bonnie mutters, not sounding too excited about it.
"Let the games begin" I decide with a smile. I'm about to grab a seat next to Kol, but think better of it, sliding in the seat next to Damon muttering, "Wouldn't want to break your heart any further"
"You're so generous" he replies with one of his signature smirks and I laugh lightly in response. I notice Elena watching this exchange, not looking too pleased, but ignore it as usual.
"Okay, I hate Kol Mikaelsson, I love Kol Mikaelson, and I'm currently banned from stepping foot in my house" Bonnie decides
Kol bursts into laughter at this and I notice a few others smile as well, "Wow Bonnie, finally admitting your feelings, I can't say I'm not surprised." Kol says with a victorious smile.
"Just play the game Kol" She replies with an eye roll.
"Um, is the lie you're banned from your home and you just have a really weird relationship with Kol?" Drew tries
Bonnie rolls her eyes but can't manage to stay mad at Drew, most likely because he doesn't know her or Kol very well, "No, I actually was banned from my house, because of Kol" she states simply.
"Would you be mad if I say you hate Kol is the lie?" Caroline asks, immediately receiving a glare from Bonnie
"I love Kol, is the lie" she states simply looking annoyed that no one else pointed this out.
"That was my next guess" she responds with a shrug.
"You know Bonnie, lying during the game is cheating" Kol points out
"Then it's a good thing I'm being 100 percent truthful" she replies not breaking eye contact with him.
"Matter of opinion" I mutter to Damon who nods in agreement, "Who's next?"
"Elena" Kol decides
Elena sighs before saying, "I own a journal, I've kissed every guy on this bus except Drew, and I've never been out of the country before"
"We know which one isn't a lie" I chorus causing Kol to laugh and Damon to shoot me a dissaproving look.
"You've never been out of the county is a lie" Caroline decides
"Nope, that's true" Elena says disproving her. I can't help but laugh at how even her friend knew she had more then likely kissed every guy on this bus.
"Didn't you go to Hawaii Freshman year?" she asks confused.
"Hawaii is technically part of the U.S. Care" Bonnie clarifies.
"Someone needs to pay more attention in history class" Damon decides causing Caroline to roll her eyes.
"Second one's a lie" I answer simply.
"Yep" Elena says Poping the p sound
Just then Alaric boards the bus saying, "I could use some help if one of you don't mind..."
"Drew will go" Klaus decides grabbing the boy by the collar and shoving him towards the door before anyone else can even blink.
"I guess I will" Drew mutters as he follows Alaric out the door.
"It's funny that you were the person to bring that lie to light, Katherine" Kol remarks with a smirk, once Ric and Drew are out of sight.
"I'm betting she secretly kissed Drew behind the dumpster before we boarded the bus" I reply with a shrug.
Kol laughs at this while Elena rolls her eyes saying, "I haven't kissed Drew, or Kol, or Klaus"
"Lying in the game is cheating Elena" I scold her.
"Why don't you go next Katherine" Damon suggests before Elena nor I could get another word out.
"Anxious to hear all my secrets" I reply with a smirk patting his shoulder before saying, "I've never had my humanity off, I've only been in love once, and I've kissed every guy on this bus" I pause for a second before adding "in the pass two months"
"You've had your humanity off?" Damon guesses.
"Nope, unlike some people on this bus, when life is tuff I don't run away scared and hide my emotions, I deal with it" I respond simply.
I notice the other vampires in the room go quiet at this and it's Bonnie who breaks the silence saying, "You haven't kissed every guy then"
"Each and every one of them" I say holding my hands up in a 'what can you do' fashion.
"You've kissed Klaus?" Caroline says sounding both angry and shocked.
"And Kol?" Bonnie adds.
"and Damon?" Elena says turning to give him a look.
"And Matt" he adds turning the attention to him before it goes back to me.
"I've kissed Elijah obviously because we were dating, I kissed Matt three weeks ago to make Rebekah angry, I kissed Damon the night of homecoming, and I kissed Kol and Klaus during that terrible spin the bottle game" I explain simply. Everyone nods in understanding and all the girls seem a little less bothered now that they have my explination.
"So you've only been in love once is a lie" Caroline reasons
"First truthful thing you've said all day" I mutter causing her to glare at me.
"Let me guess, Katherine Pierce has never met a guy truly worthy of her love" Damon states.
"Or maybe back in 1864 I was in love with more then one Salvatore" I say in an innocent tone placing a hand on his chest and shooting him a flirtatious smile. He shoots me a disapproving look but he doesn't say anything and he doesn't push my hand away as he holds my gaze.
"Awkward" Kol sings before saying, "Why don't you go Caroline"
Damon
"My worst subject is Chemistry, I've never really been in love, and I've kissed every guy on this bus at least once"
The room is silent for a moment while everyone tries to figure out which of these statements is a lie. In the moment of silence that follows I find my gaze drifting to Katherine. She is no longer focused on me and she has kept her hands to herself, but still sits a bit too close for comfort.
"You've been in love before" Bonnie guesses.
"Nope, never" she says simply. I notice her gaze lock with Klaus as she says this and a flash of pain and anger cross his eyes. I begin to wonder how bad their break up really was.
"Somebody go give poor Matty a hug, he's obviously heartbroken" Katherine says chuckling.
Both Matt and Caroline roll their eyes at this before Caroline says, "Don't get me wrong Matt, I really did care about you, and Tyler for that matter. I just don't think it was the real thing"
"It's okay Care" Matt says with a smile.
"Good thing Tyler isn't here, I'm sure we'd be drowning in his tears" Kol decides causing Katherine to chuckle. It was now a very well known fact that Tyler had officially broken up with Caroline the night of homecoming.
"Your worst subject isn't chemistry" I say simply before Kol can make another ex joke or we wind up in another discussion about how every guy on the bus had kissed her.
"Yes, thank you" Caroline says looking relieved. The truth was I only knew this because we were partners in Chemistry and, surprisingly, she was almost better at it then me.
"Now there's a shocker. Well, since you guessed it, I suppose it's your turn" Kol says turning to me.
I sigh thinking for a moment before saying, "I've never seen the movie Titanic, All my friends have died at least once, and my longest relationship is with Elena"
"The first one" Kol guesses. I shake my head no.
Caroline gasps before saying, "Oh my god! You've never seen Titanic! How is that possible, you've been alive for 170 something years and you've never seen one of the best movies ever?!"
"There's no point in seeing the movie when I was on the actual boat" I say with a shrug.
"Oh my god, you were on the Titanic!" she replies shocked.
"Yep"
"Were not" Katherine says with an eye roll.
"Yes I was" I argue.
"Then how come I didn't see you?" she replies challengingly.
"You were on the titanic?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Of course, who do you think stole the necklace" she replies sarcastically.
"You know, now that I think of it, I was probably there too" Kol says with a nod as if the memory is just flying back to him.
"You weren't on the titanic!" Bonnie immediately interrupts.
"Who do you think kicked Jack off that piece of drift wood?" Kol replies winking at her as she rolls her eyes in disgust.
"Can you guys stop! You're ruining my favorite movie for me!" Caroline objects.
"Fine, did you see it or not?" Katherine asks turning to me.
"No, I have not seen the movie" I explain slowly.
"How have you not seen the Titanic?" Elena asks me shaking her head.
I shrug in response, "Guess it was never on my list of priorities"
"Can we please stop talking about Damon's poor unfulfilled life having not seen one of the best movies of all time and get back to the game?" Kol questions
"You're longest relationship wasn't Elena" Elijah decides. I nod and mutter a 'yes' finding myself annoyed that he was the one to point this out.
"I guess I hold that special place in your heart" Katherine says placing a hand over my heart. I see the look on Elena's face and push her hand away quickly regretting bringing up this point.
"Actually, we dated for about 2 years, the same amount of time as me and Elena. What I was referring to was the girlfriend I had before you and Elena" I say simply wondering what possessed me to bring this up.
"You had a girlfriend before Katherine?" Elena asks curiously.
"I was never exactly a nun, when I was 16, there was this girl..." I say trailing off.
"Oh my god! I remember now! Your father and Stefan mentioned her, what was her name.." Katherine says trailing off as if thinking
"Don't say it" I mutter through gritted teeth.
"Wait a second, I think I remember" she says shooting me a look that could only mean she remembered quite clearly.
"Katherine I swear-"
"Margret Forbes!" Katherine says with a victorious smile and a chuckle.
I sigh in defeat, "Madison" I correct her.
"Forbes?" Elena asks shooting a look to Caroline.
"Yes, alright. I dated Madison Forbes, daughter of the Original Forbes founding family. We dated for a few years and when my dad sent me off to university she died" I explain.
"That's terrible" Elena replies sounding genuinely concerned, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Didn't seem important" I mutter eager for a change of conversation topics
"How'd she die?" Bonnie asks
I sigh, "Scarlet fever"
"Sounds awfully suspicious, how sure are you that Katherine wasn't responsible for this?" Kol asks raising an eyebrow.
I roll my eyes, "doubtful"
"Yah, if I killed his first girlfriend I'd totally brag about it" Katherine responds with a shrug
"Wait, so you dated like my great times a lot grandmother?" Caroline asks looking as if she's still trying to process this all.
"Yep, things worked out differently I might be your great times a lot grandfather" I explain sarcastically.
"That's too weird to think about" she mutters shaking her head.
Just then Alaric steps back on to the bus "Okay everyone, we can't seem to get a signle, but it turns out we're not too far from the camping site. How do you guys feel about walking?"
A./N. Hope you enjoyed! Here's a few questions to answer in the reviews that we hope you will take the time to leave:
What do you think will happen in the woods? Did you see the movie into the woods, because as stated there anything can happen in the woods. Does the previous statement scare you? Us too. Who do you think will be the first to die? Will they eat Matt? Will Katherine walk in heels? Will Katherine make Matt get her Oreo's even though they are in the middle of nowhere? Is Klaus jealous? Is Klaus going to kill Drew? Do you want Klaus to kill Drew? Is Caroline trying to make Klaus jealous? Or does she just have bad taste in guys? Probably both. Wait, so Damon dated Carolines great ancestor? And she died? Like every other single person who made him happy? Was Katherine responsible for the death?...Probably. Does Bonnie love Kol? Does Kol love Bonnie? Does everyone love Konnie/Kennet? DUH! And lastly this chapters big question...
Will Alaric kill Rebekah?
