So, um, I thought you were going to be busy tonight?" Bonnie asked her blonde friend, who was currently walking past her, having just arrived. She a little more than surprised to see her since she hasn't been over in a while.

"I was," She confirms, taking off her jacket and tossing it onto the couch, "but Tyler and the stupid football team is having some gay sleepover or something so I decided we could..." She trailed off, finally taking notice of Bonnie's attire. Her hair was curled perfectly and she had on a cute outfit with light makeup. She raised a brow. "Are you going somewhere?"

Bonnie played with her hands. "Um, yeah. I have a date."

Caroline looked taken back. "Oh."

"Yeah." Bonnie says awkwardly, looking around.

"Who is it?" She asked tensely with sharp eyes.

"Devon."

Her eyes widened. "From our Algebra class!?"

Bonnie fluffed out her curls a little. "Yep."

Caroline looked conflicted, biting her lip. "I don't know if this is a good idea..."

The witch furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

"It's just, do you really know him? He could be a creep." Caroline said, while trying to think up other excuses to keep Bonnie from going on this date.

Bonnie rolled her eyes while walking into the kitchen. "He's not a creep, Care. He's really sweet and nice, plus this isn't our first date."

"Um, I'm sorry what did you just say?" She asked following Bonnie into the kitchen with an alarmed expression on her face.

"This isn't our first date." The small witch repeated from inside the refrigerator. She came out with a small bottle of water.

Caroline crossed her arms, feeling an attitude coming on strong. "So you've been going out with random guys behind my back?"

"Really? It's not random guys. It's one guy. Devon. And it wasn't behind your back. You've been so busy with Tyler lately, it never came up."

Not faltering her stance, "does Elena know about him?"

The witch looked dumbfounded. "Well, of course-"

"See!" She interrupted with accusatory eyes. "You told Elena and not me. You were intentionally trying to keep this from me."

Throwing her hands up, Bonnie huffed loudly. "I don't know why this even matters." She put her bottle on the counter top, looking back up at her. "Isn't this what you wanted anyway?"

Caroline's face scrunched up. "What I wanted? Why would I want this?"

"You obviously don't want me to want you." Bonnie said bitterly looking away from her. The blonde was slowly ruining her previous good mood.

"When did I say that?"

"You didn't have to. You've made it very clear, especially lately." The brunette mumbled, walking back into the living room with her water. She leaned down, picking her earrings up off the coffee table to put them on. The blonde followed her with wide eyes.

"So you're just gonna date him!?"

"It's like you've always said, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone new." She said casually picking up get water and and drinking it.
