CHAPTER #3

KLAUS' P.O.V.

I stayed after school for a little while finishing up some extra homework. Kind of procrastinated, to avoid seeing Caroline and avoid the awkward silence that is coming ahead. Of course I got the disturbing text Kol sent me about how sexy she was etc..that just made me want to stay here even more. But all good things must come to an end. I slowly begin to walk to my car. I start to drive, it takes all my strength to go straight home.

Once I get there I hear Kol and Rebekah barking at each other. I wonder if Caroline and Rebekah have ever met each other. They are alot alike, they would probably be great friends

I take off my shoes and quickly run up to my room. I stop about five feet away and catch my breath. I walk in with as much "coolness as possible".

When I walk in I see her watching my art, blocking out any other noise, almost as if she was in a trance. She looks so focused as your eyebrows furrow together. I did not want to disturb her but I knew I had to. I clear my throat to get her attention.

"I was wondering when you would make your presence known to me" she says

Wait, did she know I was here the whole time?

"Well, uh-uh I was g-going" I was about to continue when she put her hand up signalling for me to shut up. I shut my mouth quickly

She began to walk toward me, and my body stiffened. She grabbed my chin as if I was a child, and says "If this is going to work, you're going to have to grow some balls and stop stuttering when you are around girls."

She said it so bluntly, I was left shocked. I think that is what I needed because a boost of confidence spiralled through my body. I sat on the floor and began to open my math text book hoping she will pick up the signal.

CAROLINE'S P.O.V.

I feel Klaus walk into the room, and I can feel his tension from a mile away. When he makes his presence known, he is completely nervous and a mess. That cannot work, hopefully what I said will knock some sense into him. I walk towards him, and sit down beside him on the floor. He begins to flip papers frustratedly, and continues to huff and puff.

I look at him annoyed and say "Is there a problem?"

"Nope I am just fine"

Ugh, was he really going to play this childish game with me, I invented that game for god's sake!

"Great, so what are you teaching me today?"

"I do not know love, what do you need help in?" He says with a surprise burst of confidence and a smug smirk.

It throws me off guard at first, but I realize he was beginning to be a bit more comfortable which was surprising considering how he was about 5 minutes ago. I shake off the shock relatively fast, and reply.

"It is good to know you are not supremely awkward anymore, and are these nicknames an English thing? I did not even know know you were English until about half an hour ago." I face palm myself, as I realize I am rambling, I guess to avoid the boredom of math.

"Yes, well let's take a look at trigonometric functions." He begins to explain, obviously avoiding the subject. Anyway I pretend to listen.. Really I can pass math class, I just don't care too. I have been alive for 250 years, math are the least of my problem. I begin to daze off into thought.

"Caroline, Caroline!"

"Wh-what?"

"Are you even bloody listening? I mean ar-are you listening?"

"Ugh, please stop hiding under that shy shell, get loose, be free. Although I can't gurantee people would love you." I say, trying to reason with him to be free, have some courage. It probably was not the best speech out there but it was something

"Yes, well people get creeped out with the English ways, you know like nicknames and what not. Now please focus." he says with half stern in his voice and half joke.

But really if he thought I was actually going to sit down and learn he is mad.

I get up and walkout the door.

KLAUS P.O.V.

I was really trying to stay focus,but this bloody woman was so distracted like a bee with honey. I tell her to focus, and she just gets up and walks out of the room. WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?! This is my house, is it not? She is quite infuriating!

I decide to walk and when I do she is not even outside the door. So, I do the logical thing and begin to walk downstairs. I check the living room, the library, each and every bedroom, then I go to the kitchen. To my surprise, I see her talking to... MY BLOODY BROTHER! No, no both of my bloody brothers, Elijah and Kol who are talking and looking at her intensely with googly eyes.

I cough awkwardly, and open my eyes widely.

"Yes." All three of them say at the same time.

I give my brothers a death glare while they smirk at me amused but thank god they walk out of the kitchen.

I see her pout slightly.

"Caroline, a-are you g-going to study?" I ask hoping she hears the lack of patience in my voice.

"Not if you are stuttering like that, I told you to stop." She replies, with a smug smirk.

'Fine love, would you like the nickname too, NOW ARE YOU GOING TO BLOODY LEARN OR NOT?" I snap, allowing my rage to get the best of me. I knew I shouldn't let her get under my skin like this, but she challenges me and I do not stand down to a challenge. I begin to look up slowly..what the hell? Why is she smiling so bright that the sun is jealous.

"There you go, you are finally sounding like a man but no I am not studying." She says with no sound of amusement in her voice.

"What do you mean you are not studying?"

"I told you I can pass math, but since Professor Shane is a dipshit and won't let either of us off the chain, then we will just have to hang out for a couple mondays, alright?"

Did she just say hang out? As in hangout with me? No one hangs out with me, I only study, study, then eat, study, then sleep. Why would I even want to hang out with her, I am just an embarrassment. But somehow, the words spill out of my mouth.

"What do you have in mind love?" I face palm my self in my mind. I am so stupid.

She smiles brightly, and says "Where's the booze?"

I look up at her wide eyed, but she already finds her way to the dining room where we keep all of our alcohol. These are going to be some long Mondays.
