''Morning. What are you doing here so early?'' I asked Jeremy.
''Hello. I'm going to go help find Betty.''
''Um... I forgot to mention,'' I told him and he turned to me with a question written all over his face. And since Elena was in the room or in the bathroom, we went down to the kitchen. He started making me breakfast and I briefly explained what happened. I also told him that if someone tried to compel him, then let him pretend that it works.
''I want to help find her anyway,'' he countered.
''Because you want to skip school or be a good boy?''
"Um...um...both?" and scratched the back of his neck.

Bonnie opened the bag Caroline had given her and pulled out a costume. Witch costume. ''Seriously?''

''Deal.''
''You're expensive.''
"I gave a special friend discount for you."
"I would never want to end up on your bad side."
''Let's hope you never find out. Although it would be a good experience not to cross me. And -''
''Hey girls, I'm here too,'' Bonnie interrupted our argument and we both turned to her with a dead look on our faces. She stepped back a little and raised her hands in peace. "Cookies?" she offered. We nodded and took some cookies. Bonnie looked into her bag and she pulled out a crystal necklace. ''What is this?''
