"Nik, no!" Rebekah complained.

"Give me one good reason why not," Klaus challenged her.

"Because it's a terrible idea… Because I don't want our house filled with people that I don't even like… Because I don't want to end up having to clean up after people I hate... Because we don't need girls showing up here looking for you all the time... Because I made a point of not having everybody know where we live…" Rebekah trailed off as she crossed her arms.

"I said one reason," He pointed out. "Not a list."

"I thought that maybe you would actually listen if I gave you a list," Rebekah responded unhappily.

"Well clearly you thought wrong," Klaus told her. "It's just a party. Don't you think that I deserve to have you throw me a welcome to town party? …And who knows, maybe I'll find a different girl to chase after instead of your mortal enemy, Caroline Forbes."

"Right," Rebekah replied in disbelief. "So I guess that means that I don't have to invite Caroline."

"Well if you want to be rude and invite everyone else except for her…" Klaus trailed off. "But who knows, maybe if she shows up she'll reject me so badly that I'll end up shaken to my core and completely give up all hope of anything ever happening with her."

Rebekah rolled her eyes dramatically and sighed before saying, "Fine. But you owe me… And if a bunch of girls start showing up at her door all the time then I will beat you to a pulp for it."

Klaus ignored his sister's threat as he began to grin wildly.

By lunch time of school the next day, the hallways were filled with talk about Rebekah's party and people wondering whether Klaus Morgan would be there or not.

Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie were all surprised when Rebekah came and approached them while they were standing next to Caroline's locker.

"Hey, did you three hear about my party?" Rebekah asked with the friendliest smile that she could muster towards her three least favourite people in the school.

"Yeah, I think we heard something about it," Bonnie answered for the other girls.

"Well it's on Saturday, and I'd like if you all came," Rebekah told them as she pulled a piece of paper out of her bag. "Here's the address."

"Really?" Caroline asked with an arched eyebrow. "You want all of us to come? …Why? We don't even get along with each other."

"Well without you Nik won't have anyone to follow around like a little lost puppy," Rebekah said as all pretenses of friendliness disappeared from her tone.

Caroline practically rolled her eyes at the bitterness coming from the other blonde. It wasn't like Caroline wanted his attention, she would gladly hand it over to Rebekah in a heartbeat if she could.

She still had no clue how Rebekah supposedly knew Klaus or if she even really did, maybe she didn't and had just chosen to throw herself at him, but Caroline was beginning to get more curious about what the answer could be.

"Did you hear about Rebekah's party?" Tyler asked Caroline during their last class of the day.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the whole school has," Caroline responded.

"Well are you going to go?" Tyler asked her.

"I don't know," Caroline told him. "I mean she invited me, but…"

"Why not? It's not like you even have to be around her, the whole school is going to be there," Tyler pointed out. "Come on, it'll be fun."

"It's not Rebekah that I'm worried about being stuck around," Caroline replied.

Sure, she didn't want to have to put up with Rebekah, but that wasn't the biggest of her concerns.

"What does that mean?" Tyler asked as his brow furrowed in confusion.

"It means that I'm positive that Klaus is going, it's the only reason that she invited me. And I'm also just as sure that he'll continue annoying me like he has been since he got to town," Caroline explained.

"I'm sure that me and Matt could scare him away if we need to," Tyler told her, causing her to smile. "Why is he bothering you anyways?"

"Apparently he likes me," Caroline responded. "Which somehow means that he has to be a totally annoying jerk all the time."

"Are you really going to miss a party just to try and avoid some jerk?" Tyler asked. "Or are you going to come have fun with your friends and let me handle it if the guy starts harassing you?"

"I guess you have a point," Caroline agreed. "I'll go."

"Good," Tyler said with a big smile.

Even if she didn't want to have to deal with Klaus, Caroline did have to admit that the idea of going to a party with all of her friends did appeal to her. They hadn't gone to a proper party in too long and Caroline was sure that with Rebekah's over the top attitude that it would be a good one.
