Who Would Have Thought | J. Saltzman [1]

↳ 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐞

"Given recent events, some students have expressed concerns that I am not allowing you to have a say in the decisions that affect your future. And I agree. If you are expected to abide by this school's policies, it's only fair that you have a voice in how those rules are made." Alaric stood behind the podium making announcements. Y/N sat next to her sister and the saltzman twins. Y/N saw as the twins high-fived each other. Focusing her attention back Alaric, whilst smiling at the thought that the girls were happy.

"So, I am forming an honor council. One vampire, one witch and one werewolf, each elected by, their peers. Along with our school counselor Emma, whose vote will represent the younger students." Alaric continued.

Y/N looked at her sister, "a council? what is this junior politics?" she asked the girl, hope let out a chuckle. Y/N looked over at the blonde Saltzman. She saw the smirk that grew on her face.

Y/N playfully rolled her eyes causing a slight chuckle to come from Josie as she watched the two interact.

"Now I have to go off campus. In the meantime, I expect you to make good decisions and to vote wisely. That's all. You're dismissed." Alaric finished.

Everyone rose from their chairs.

Y/N and Josie examined the poster. "Guys, focus." Lizzie said. Josie and Y/N were both on the ground, Y/N sitting and Josie laying down. "None of this is working." Lizzie said as she changed the outfit color to blue with a simple spell in the mirror. "I think the white one looks classy," Y/N pitched in, "You know, you're aren't going to lose the election because of an outfit." Josie told her sister, Lizzie turned around facing the two. "Yes, but you have to look good for the it," Y/N said, Lizzie pointed to Y/N. "Exactly." Lizzie said. "Plus, I'm not worried about losing the election. I'm worried about what to wear to the victory rally. The outfit makes the speech." Lizzie changed the color to pink. "How do I look?" Lizzie asked. "Maybe you should wear something that shows your fellow witches you're gonna take this seriously. It's a big responsibility." Josie said. "That is why I am perfect for this job. I'm a tastemaker. And influencer. People don't really know what they want until I tell them that they want it. They need me." Lizzie said, Y/N rose her eyebrows. Lizzie smiled at the girl.

"This is such an honor. It's so nice to know that you all love me as much as I thought you did." Lizzie practiced her speech for when she won. "Hey, Lizzie, before you go too far down the road of victory speeches, I talked to Serena and her goth coven. She said that they would vote for you, but they just wanted to make sure that you would allow time off for pagan holidays." Josie explained. "Right." Lizzie said. Quickly she stood up. Y/N and Josie turned around. There stood Rafael at the door. "Hey, Raf." Y/N said. "Hey, Y/N!" Rafael said, he walked into the room. "Welcome to the winner's circle." Lizzie said from behind Y/N. "How's it going with Jackass Jed?" Josie asked him. "That's actually why I'm here," He walked past Josie and Y/N and went to Lizzie. "Lizzie, you got a sec?" Rafael asked. "I have a lot of secs." Lizzie said although it sounded more like she said sex.

Y/N couldn't help laugh. Lizzie looked over at the girl, with a straight face. Y/N quickly stopped laughing putting on her own straight face. "I mean..time." Lizzie corrected herself. "The honor council gets to decide if Landon gets to say. Emma won't say how she's gonna vote, but I talked to MG, and he's the only vampire running and he's on board. And because everybody knows that you're gonna get the witch vote," Lizzie cut in, "Say no more, I know how much Landon means to you and I would be happy to help." Lizzie said. "I'm mean alright. Thank you." Rafael thanked. "Oh, if-if you would, um, be happy to be my date to my birthday on Friday?" Lizzie said before Josie dropped things.

They looked over to Josie. Y/N stepped infront of her to cover her up. "Thank you." Josie whispered to the Y/N.

"Are you blackmailing me?" Rafael asked. Lizzie chuckled. "No silly, I'm black-tie'ing you. It's totally different." Lizzie said.

Y/N helped Josie up, and picked up the books.

"Sure." Rafael agreed to be Lizzie's date.

Rafael walked out of the room. Lizzie looked over to the girls. Hugging them both.

"Alright. Voting is now closed. Let's get started." Emma announced. A piece of paper flew up from the box. "The werewolf representative will be... Rafael!" Emma called out. Everyone applauded. "So much for not wanting anything to do with the pack." Josie mumbled. "I've always wanted to be apart of a power couple." Lizzie practically squealed. "Alright, and the witch representative will be...Josie!" Emma said, Lizzie's happy face dropped. Josie looked over to Penelope.

~~

Y/N sat next to Lizzie in front of the fireplace in silence. Josie sat on the bed behind him. "Can I...get you anything?" Josie paused as Lizzie shushed her. "I said, "shh."Lizzie told the girl. "I'm trying to... rise above it. So let me freaking rise." Lizzie said, Y/N sent Lizzie a smile trying to reassure the girl. "Ok, I don't know why Penelope had them vote for me. It doesn't make sense." Josie kneeled in front of Lizzie. "What's done is done, Jo." Lizzie said. "Well, I can step down and then they'd have to go with runner-up." Josie suggested. "Great minds think alike. I already asked Emma if we could do that." Lizzie told the girl, she had yet to look at Josie. "And Emma said no?" Josie asked. "No, runner-up was Y/N.." Lizzie explained. "What? I didn't even- Penelope made sure you wouldn't win the election by having me, your best friend be runner-up.." Y/N put the puzzle pieces together.

"What's got you all giddy?" Y/N asked Hope. "Me and Landon kissed today.."Hope confessed. "Wait but don't you.." Y/N paused trying to think. "I think Landon will be able to help me move on from Lizzie, I've been crushing on her for the longest and I think it's time to move on," Hope said, sitting on Y/N's bed. "You should try too" Hope told her. "Yeah can't, I've been dragged down deeper in my undying love for Josie," Y/N said playfully. "What do you mean, sister?" Hope said intrigued. "Josie kissed me back with the spider thing. It was nothing, she just need to get magic so..sadly for y/n mikaelson, I don't think Josie likes me back." Y/N said as she looked down. "You're a Mikaelson and you're scared to tell Josie you have feelings for her? Pussy." Hope joked. "Not funny, Hope!" Y/N called out. Hope began laughing hysterically. "Actually it's very funny!" Hope disagreed. "I hate you sometimes." Y/N told her.

Hope gasped playfully, her laughs calmed down, and she playfully slapped Y/N's shoulder before walking over to her own bed.

"Goodnight, Hope." Y/N said.

"Goodnight, Y/N" and that was the last thing she heard before falling asleep.
