"Brea, look some asshole parked in our driveway!" Jenna snapped angrily.

"No way!" Brea gasped as she jumped up from the couch to look out the window. "Oh, that car?" Brea asked as Jeremy came to stand next to her.

"Yeah," Jenna scowled, hands on hips. "I swear if I see who did it, I'm going to go full crazy on them."

"Um, I didn't tell you Jenna, but that's my car," Brea laughed nervously and Jenna just rolled her eyes. "No, I'm serious! I won a competition."

"What kind of competition?" Jenna asked sceptically.

"Poetry," Brea lied.

"No way!" Jenna clapped excitedly. "That is so cool! I have to head to school but when I get home I want to read it! Well done sweetie," she smiled as she kissed her niece's head and ran out the door.

"Poetry?" Jeremy laughed. He knew she'd gotten the car as a gift from Katherine.

"I know," she groaned. "Now I have to write a poem."

"You're an idiot," he laughed.

"Run, run, run, run," Brea said quickly as she ran up to Stefan and Jeremy, who were leaning against the lockers.

Stefan smiled, as if he knew what she meant, before continuing his chat with Jeremy. "Well, today we have a nice little distraction courtesy of slave driver Elena. Hello, Elena," Stefan said swinging an arm around Elena.

"I warned you," Brea said with a look at the boys. "Trust me though, she's nowhere near as bad as Caroline," Brea joked. "I called Caroline earlier to ask a question about tipping the workers and she said I should dye my hair blonde and walk into a brick wall. Because then I'd have an excuse for asking something so dumb. I still don't know the answer either."

"Hey. Um, do you..." Elena started to ask Jeremy.

"Yeah, yeah, I set up the goldfish toss, all 300 goldfish. It's gonna be epic," Jeremy said cutting off Elena with attitude before slamming his locker and walking off.

Brea turned to look at Elena only to see her staring at her. "What?" she asked

"Go."

"Where. Why?"

"Go with him."

"With Jeremy?"

"Yes obviously," Elena scowled. "He'll talk to you not me, so go."

"Ok, psychopath. Wow. If you two wanted to be alone, all you had to do was ask. Everyone is so mean to me today," Brea huffed as she walked off after her brother. "Yo, yo, you, yo," Brea sang to Jeremy as she caught up with him.

"Really? Scooby Doo?" Jeremy asked.

"It's best Jer. You know it."

"It's not the best. Bambi is," he countered.

"Oh my god, you're totally right. I can't believe I suggested otherwise," she gasped. "We should watch that tonight."

"Maybe. What are you following me for?"

"Elena wanted time alone with Stefan. So I got kicked out."

"I'm not surprised."

"Why?"

"You're annoying."

"Jer. You are like my only friend left here today. Don't abandon me, my friend," Brea said loudly. Jeremy's eyes went wide as people looked, making Brea laugh.
