xxvi. false accusations

________

Eleanora had made up with Stephanie and Evelyn and they were all good. The whole group was hanging out and it was not awkward at all. Atlas and Nate had sorted things out. Everything was good.

Hope was ecstatic. She immediately told Sadie and Vanessa who arrived at her house, and they planned things. It was related to how Hope would get Nate Salvatore. However, their main focus was Eleanora. She was still 'Mystic Falls Sweetheart'. She had a good reputation and was loved by everyone. They had planned something that would make Eleanora look bad and get people annoyed with her.

Hope had also told her Aunt Rebekah and mother about the breakup between Nate and Eleanora. They encouraged Hope to use this as an opportunity to get Nate which she was going to do. However, she just had an obstacle that she has to get rid of before she got with Nate. The obstacle was Eleanora.

________

Eleanora was sitting with her friends on the couch at the Salvatore Boarding School. It was currently their break, and they were just sitting around and laughing around.

"I can't believe that happened." Stephanie laughed with the others whilst Evelyn pouted with her arms crossed.

"You guys are so mean," Evelyn whined.

"Quit being-" Nate spoke but got cut off.

"Eleanora Sheila Bennett-St John!" Alaric yelled as he walked into the living room with slime all over himself, gathering the attention of the people in the area including Hope, Sadie, and Vanessa who secretly joined.

"Gosh, what happened to you?" Eleanora laughed.

"I've told you what would happen if you did another prank." Alaric scolded with an angry expression.

Eleanora looked confused. "Yeah, but this wasn't me."

"Eleanora, we understand if you did it, but you got to understand that there are limits." Cassandra softly spoke as her presence became known.

"I don't think you heard me, but I didn't do that prank." Eleanora insisted.

"Eleanora." Stefan sighed. Eleanora had a reputation for pranks, but it reached the limit that she received a warning. The warning was that if she did another prank, she would get suspended. It wasn't that she wasn't allowed to do pranks, she was, but just not at the school.

Alaric deeply sighed and shut his eyes tightly. "Eleanora Bennett- St John, you are suspended as of now."

"Suspended?!" Eleanora yelled and stood up in protest. "For what?"

"For doing a prank evening after getting a warning. You knew the consequences, but you still did it." Alaric explained as he wiped himself with the tissues that Cassandra was passing to him.

"But like I said I didn't do it." Eleanora exclaimed, annoyed. She was being accused of something she did not do.

Hope smirked at the whole situation unfolding ahead of her.

"How about we calm down?" Stephanie said, trying to control the situation. She could feel the rising blood pressure of Eleanora and Alaric. She could feel Eleanora getting annoyed which was affecting her magic.

"What's happening here?" Bonnie asked as she entered the room after her class just finished. She was confused about what was happening. From the way it looked, Eleanora and Alaric were arguing but Bonnie didn't know why.

"Eleanora did a prank on Alaric and is denying that she did." Stefan informed Bonnie.

"Mom, I didn't do it. Trust me, I'm not lying." Eleanora pleaded, hoping her mother would believe her. She knew that she had a reputation for pranks, but she didn't do this one. There's no way she had time to do this prank.
