September 7th, 2009I wake up with a jump. Just having the craziest dream, I dreamt of me dying. It was strange because it had all felt so real, but disregarding the thoughts of my death I sit up to start my day. I look around my room realizing that this isn't mine, yet it seems so familiar to me but I can't think of where I am. Slowly I move out of the bed, looking around and trying not to make too much noise. Checking out the room I spot the mirror and to see if I have any marks on me I walk towards it. I see my reflection and yelp from the confusion of what I was seeing.
What I see peering back at me is Caroline Forbes. I glance down towards my body and see that it is not mine. My skin is pale compared to before, my limbs seem slender and long, feeling my hair it is longer than before. How did I not notice all the differences before I left the bed? I don't know how this is possible. Does that mean my dream was real? That semi really did hit me. Who is going to feed my cats now? I hope they are okay.
I hear someone walking towards the room and lay back down.
Someone knocks on the door *Knock~ Knock~*
"Care, it's time to wake up you'll be late for school if you don't get ready soon." I heard Liz say. There is an audible sigh through the door " I have to go to work, just try to get there on time. I'll try and be home early maybe we can watch that new romance movie you've been wanting to see." Foot steps are heard going the opposite direction of the door.
I sigh. I'll need to play along till I know what's happening and what episode I've shown up in.
After raiding the original Caroline's closet I finally found an outfit more my style. A two layer dark red shirt with a fitted waist and a black spaghetti strap crop top.
Okay now I'm ready to go, I walk out of Caroline's room and grab the only other car keys on the rack and pick up the backpack near the door. Getting to the car I realized I have no clue how to get to school. Opening the door I was able to see there was a screen. I'm so glad the original Caroline had one of those cars with the built in navigation devices. After driving for about 15-20 minutes I arrived at Mystic Falls High School. I take a couple minutes to breathe before I get out of my car and prep for seeing everyone at the school.
Slowly I get out of the car looking around to see if anyone was looking or walking towards me. I'm walking towards the doors and i feel a chill going up my spine the second my hand reaches the door to push it open. Knowing that whatever I say or do today might give me up already if people figure out I'm not the real one. The sun shining down gives no warmth to me and without realizing I opened the door the atmosphere of school washed over me.
I think to myself 'I can do this, no one will know that I am not who I'm pretending to be'
"Caroline" I hear a high pitch voice say. Following the sound I see Dana, she was a background character in a couple of the episodes. I'm lucky I actually know her name. A large fake smile appears on my face as I said " Hey, Dana". She smiles motioning for me to come over to her. I walk with a small bounce in my step to give off the bubbly feeling we have seen of Caroline. Reaching where she was, she wraps an arm around one of mine dragging me towards a larger group of girls. All were the same just thin girls with slightly forced smiles and lots of makeup. The version of Caroline I am looks out of place some of my attributes from before altered the shape of the body unlike these girls my hips are a bit wider and a little more junk in the trunk than before my face isn't as slim but regardless I feel pretty in this body. Personally I feel the mix between my body and hers was a good match. Anyways this whole time of me thinking the girls have been talking, now coming back to reality I had no clue what was being talked about. Deciding to continue being quiet I was able to figure out they were talking about cheer practice after school. Hopefully Caroline's muscle memory will happen because I loosely remember the routine they had been working on.
Glancing around the hallways I see Elena and Bonnie for the first time in person and momentarily froze in awe I know I am one of the more important characters but seeing the others was so surreal to me. I say bye to Dana and the girls I make my way over to our golden girl Elena Gilbert.
Upon arriving to them I base what i say off the original lines.
"Elena, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay Care"
"Bonnie is she okay?"
Elena replies " Caroline i'm okay really, I'm not gonna let what happened ruin my school year"
Bonnie looks between us unlike in the show I didn't leave when my name was called I stayed with them so I could see the infamous Stefan Salvatore. We walked down the hall till bonnie stopped. She looked over and said "look at that".
Elena sighs "Bonnie all I see is back".
Bonnie rolls her eyes "Its a hot back and i'm sensing Seattle and he plays guitar"
Elena giggles " You're gonna run this whole physic thing into the ground aren't you"
Laughing bonnie says "yeah pretty much"Elena looks over down the hall and sees Jeremy walking into the bathroom and storms off towards him. I stay with Bonnie for a minute waiting for Stefan to turn around. Right as he started to turn I glanced over and walked towards the boys room and went to take Elena back out because I wanted to meet cute with Stefan. It had always been a weird dream of mine for it to happen even if he wasn't my first choice.....
