Petey Parker texts a Mikaelson

It's Nothing

Hope POV

Idiot. She used compulsion right in front of MJ!

We arrived at a store and Rebekah dragged me and MJ halfway across the store, throwing random clothes into our arms. MJ looked weirder out but I was just used to it. She does this every time she takes me shopping.

"That should do it for this store. Now go try some stuff on." She demanded. Me and MJ turned and walked to the changing rooms.

"Wow. Just, Wow." Was all MJ could say. "I know." I sighed before walking into a changing room.

"Great. We look amazing. Let's go." I said quickly, turning back and entering g the changing room against to change back into my normal outfit.

"I don't understand why you had to end my shopping trip so short." Bekah said as we drove back to the School. 

"If you wanna go shopping, take Freya." I told her, annoyed.

She scoffed. "Freya won't go with me, She's just as uptight as you."

"Then take Davina or Kol for all I care." I threw my hands up in exasperation.

"See." Rebekah said, gesturing to my apparent 'uptightness'.

"Bye, Hope. I'm going to do more shopping." Rebekah called as me and MJ got out of the car.

"Have fun." I said carelessly.

"You can at least sound like you care." She grumbled. "I could die for all you know."

"Have fun." I said again. Bekah rolled her eyes but drove off.

"Your Aunt is nice." MJ told me. "Yeah. The others ones are less.. shall we say... dramatic and wild." I replied.

"Oh thank god." She sighed out in relief.

"I mean, no offense." She caught herself.

"None taken." I say truthfully, knowing my family is... different.

"Yeah. We are a dysfunctional but loving family." I smiled a fake smile.

"MJ!" Peter's voice rang out and we bother snapped our heads towards the School entrance to see him and Ned running this way. Peter was unusually fast for someone of his... fitness level.

"Where have you been?" Ned asked through his panting once they finally made it to us.

"Hope's Aunt Rebekah took us shopping." MJ answered nonchalantly.

Both boys furrowed their brows. "Since when do you shop?" Peter asked.

"Since my Aunt is one you don't want to mess with." I cut in.

"Well, Mr Harrison has been looking for you. We made up some excuses but he was getting suspicious." Ned spoke up, no longer panting.

"So, I'm gonna go." I said and started to walk off but a "wait." From MJ made me stop.

"Where are you going?"

"Well, tomorrow we have classes so I'm going to use this time to study." I explained.

"What if we came with you?" Ned offered.

"Yeah. You could teach us how this School works." Peter reasoned.

I honestly didn't know how to turn them down so I just shrugged and silently walked into the school, the three others following me. I walked up a number of stairs and down just as many hallways until I reached my dorm and unlocked it, walking in.

After a while of reading books or looking things up or explaining things as we lounged around my dorm, I got up to use the bathroom. Once I came back out, I saw Ned opening the grimoire and my eyes widened.

"What's this?" He asked, not noticing my presence as he opened it and I raced over, quickly ripping the book out of his hands and snapping it shut.

"It's nothing." I gripped it tightly.

They all looked at me curiously.

"Hope... are you okay?" Peter questioned. I turned away from them, taking a deep breath as I felt my eyes glow a golden hue. I snapped my eye lids shut, drawing in another breath before reopening them to their natural blue color.

"I'm brilliant." I said as I quickly moved and shoved the book in my burrow. "Look, it's getting later and I'm gonna get ready for bed soon." I said to them. They all shared glances and stood up.

"Hope.."

"Now." I snapped. The three flinched at my harsh tone but reluctantly file out of my room, shutting the door once again behind them. I let out a shaky breath and moved to sit down. That was close.

I don't know. Just be happy I gave you guys something at least. It's weird. Don't judge.
