The Last Dance

Estella Mikaelson strutted into Mystic Falls High School.

She was posing as a high school student while Klaus Mikaelson jumped into the body of Alaric Saltzman, the history teacher.

She hated school. In her thousand years of living, she never wanted to go to school again, but if the plan was to work, she needed to blend in.

As she walked the halls, people stared at her figure. She could make out some people's conversations.

"She's hot." "Hopefully she's not taken." "Who's the new chick?"

She smirked as she continued to walk to her first class: History.

As Estella walked in, all eyes fell to her. In Mystic Falls, everybody knew everybody, but no one knew who she was.

Stefan Salvatore looked away from his girlfriend, Elena Gilbert, to see who everyone was looking at. He was surprised when he saw a beautiful black-haired girl standing in the doorway. As she walked to her seat, Stefan couldn't help but stare. He had never seen someone as beautiful as her. He couldn't even say Elena was more beautiful. And, for some reason, she looked slightly familiar.

Estella felt Stefan's eyes on her. She kept her back to him but smirked nonetheless. She had seen Stefan in the '20s, but Klaus had wiped his memory away. Nothing had happened between the two. Stefan fell in love with Rebekah, while Estella watched her sister fall in love with the Salvatore, and so did she. She was happy for her, but when they heard gunshots and had seen the wooden bullets, Klaus compelled the man, daggered Rebekah, and ran away, knowing Stefan would be in danger if they came back.

Elena saw how Stefan was staring at Estella, and she was jealous. Estella was absolutely beautiful and if she wanted she could get any guy in the school, girlfriend or not. As Klaus came into the classroom as Alaric, she quickly smiled, thinking it was Alaric and he would ask her if she was okay if he saw her face.

Stefan quickly sat straight in his seat, taking his eyes away from the black-haired beaut, but Klaus saw him gawking at Estella, and his brotherly protectiveness soared. He knew Estella had had a crush on the Salvatore man in the 20's, but so did Rebekah, so Estella kept her mouth shut. He had comforted her as she had watched the two kiss and dance together. He quickly forgot about the act, remembering he was Alaric the history teacher, not Klaus the big bad hybrid.

"As everyone can see, we have a new student. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class? You can come up to the front." Klaus asked as he gestured with his hands at all the students. Estella discreetly rolled her eyes before walking up to where Klaus was standing.

Estella got out of her seat and walked towards the front of the classroom. As she got closer to Klaus, she subtly flipped him off before looking up at everyone in the room.

"I'm Stella Martin. New girl. I'm 18. I don't like people so we probably won't be friends. If any of you guys were staring at my ass in the hall..." Estella trailed off as she flipped everyone off before walking back to her seat. As she did, she saw the girls' faces that were filled with shock and bright smiles at her bluntness and at how she could so easily stick up for herself. The guys' faces were filled with embarrassment and shock for her being able to call them out. Before she sat down she noticed Stefan's eyes staring at her with amusement. She smiled and winked at him before sitting in her seat. Klaus sighed and shook his head, pretending to be disappointed in what she did, but really he was grinning on the inside.
