The Other Forbes

Chapter 23: Miss Mystic Falls

3rd person POV:

Piper and Caroline were finally back in Mystic Falls after they had stayed with their father for a while, much to Grayson's relief. He promised Piper that he would meet her at the usual place, which was by her locker, before first period. Grayson just wanted to make sure that Stefan was alright with coming back to school before he left him with Elena.

As soon as Piper and Caroline made it to school they saw that they had announced who made it on to the founders court and the twins were ecstatic that they both made it. After they had agreed to go shopping together to find the perfect dresses Piper parted ways with Caroline so she could meet up with Grayson.

A smile instantly made its way onto her face as soon as she saw her boyfriend waiting for her next to her locker, an identical smile was also on his face. Not wanting to wait any longer, Piper ran down the school corridor and when she was in front of Grayson she dropped her bag onto the floor and jumped into his open arms. Her arms wrapped around his neck whilst her legs clung onto his waist.

Foreheads touching, they both closed their eyes relaxing in each other's embrace. "I missed you." Piper whispered before gently kissing her boyfriend.

Returning the kiss, Grayson reluctantly put Piper's feet back on the ground. "I missed you too. So much. Stefan and Damon have been driving me up the wall." He says as he wraps his arm over Piper's shoulders and they begin to walk to history.

"Oh, by the way I kind of need a teeny tiny favour." Piper mentions with a sly smirk on his face which Grayson notices.

"What have you done, or what do you need me to do?" Grayson reluctantly asks wondering whether he wants to know or not.

"I got into the founders court for Miss Mystic Falls, so did Care, and I need an escort." She explains. After seeing the hesitance she begins to beg and pull out the puppy eyes. "Please. For me?"

Grayson groans at the fact that Piper has him wrapped around her finger but none the less, he agrees causing Piper to let out a small cheer and hug him. If it made Piper happy he knew he would do pretty much anything for the girl.

Thankfully, the pair had managed to make it in time to their history class, right before Ric had walked in. "Okay." Ric says announcing his presence. "This week we're going to set aside our regular curriculum for a lesson in local history as we approach Founder's Day." Hearing this Grayson lets his head drop onto his desk making a loud thud noise. The entire class including Piper laughed at his actions. "Apparently, the community feel that's more important than World War II. But hey, what do I know?" He asks rhetorically.

Before anything else could be said the door to the classroom opened and Piper was shocked and greatly surprised to see that it was Bonnie who had walked through the door. Even though both she, her and Caroline called and talked everyday she still missed one of her best friends.

Piper also saw that Elena was shocked at the fact that Bonnie was back.

After history class had finished Piper said goodbye to Grayson and she quickly caught up with Caroline in the halls. After telling her sister that Bonnie was back, Caroline wanted to find Bonnie and greet her in person.

Walking out of the school they found Bonnie and Elena talking near the benches. Quickly making their way over Caroline calls out to the girl who she's not seen in person for a while. "Bonnie! Bonnie, thank God you're home. Pipes told me you were back." Caroline says as she pulls the Bennett girl into a hug. "I know me, you and Pipes talked every day, but we missed you."

Moving to the side Caroline let Piper now hug Bonnie since she wasn't able to greet her earlier in history. From the corner of her eye Piper noticed that Elena looked at Caroline confused after hearing her words. "How are you?" Piper asks referring to how she feels after her Grams' death.
