Friday Morning

Mystic Falls High School

"I can't believe I have to do this," Connor muttered as he got out of the SUV. The last thing he wanted to do was apologize to that idiot Ronald for bullying him. But he had promised Klaus he would talk to the kid about pushing him.

"Hey, want me to come? If he gets mouthy, we'll kick his ass. You can trigger your curse on him," Tyler laughed.

"Jesus, do you ever stop, Ty? We know you're a big bad wolf now. You don't have to keep bragging," Matt said slamming the door.

Jeremy and Tyler looked at each other in confusion. Tyler stayed to get out his backpack and lock up the car.

"You alright, Matt?" Jeremy asked quietly.

"Yeah, it's just he goes out of his way to be a dick sometimes about...I don't know. Erik doesn't act like that," Matt ranted.

"You mean, about being stronger and having werewolf abilities?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why it irritates me. Actually, I do know. This whole thing with the car and Tyler blackmailing me...I told him I'm over it, but every time I think of it, it pisses me off more," Matt confided.

"I think Ty just shows off for Connor and Erik. Ironically, they are not the kind to push other people around without being taunted first, I just hope they don't take a cue from Ty and start," Jeremy said glancing back at Tyler, Connor, and Erik.

"Me, too, man," Matt agreed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Connor spotted Ronald from across the parking lot.

"I better do this alone, I reckon," Connor said to his brother and Tyler.

Ronald saw him coming and looked around nervously.

"I ain't going to do nothin'. Just coming over to talk," Connor said with his hands up.

"What do you want?" Ronald sneered. His red hair was sticking up and he looked a little wild.

"Look, I'm sorry about pushing you on Wednesday. I shouldn't have put my hands on you. I apologize," Connor said plainly.

"Yeah, you shouldn't have. You're lucky I wasn't injured. My uncle is a lawyer and he would sue your ass," Ronald threatened.

"Okay, you're pissed. I get it. Can you get that I don't like being fucking laughed at all the time for shit I can't rightly control?" Connor asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, fine," Ronald said walking away.

"Good," Connor said standing there watching him. That actually went better than he imagined.

"Better?" Davina asked, coming from behind him.

"You didn't do a spell on him did you?" Connor asked suspiciously.

"I did a calming spell on both of you. Did it work?" Davina inquired.

"Yeah, I think that went real good. I still don't like the guy, but I ain't gonna rip his head off today," Connor smiled.

"Well, that is a start," Davina laughed.

Mikaelson Mansion

Friday mid-morning

"I'm not making excuses for Kol, but it just strikes me as odd that the maids were on vervain. I mean how many people have tried to infiltrate our security to get to us?" Klaus postulated.
