'Have you even talked to Bonnie?' I ask Caroline as Elena we walk towards the entrance
'No I'm mad at her. She needs to make the first move'
'Be the Bigger Person' Elena adds
'Impossible in her presence'
'Why are ou so pissed at her, anyway?' Elena asks confused
'She's a thief. That's why' Caroline snaps
'She gave Bonnie her necklace, and she refuses to give it back. It's matter of principle' I continue to fill my sister inn
'All right.Well, I tried. I'm officially out of it'
'Good. Where's Stefan?' Caroline moves on quickly causing Elena to look at me and I shrug. I din't know what I could say. We could really say his brother killed his best friend now could we.
'He's avoiding me' Elena finally answers and it seems like Caroline didn't notice
'Why?'
'Its complicated. We'll see you later' Elena says before grabbing my arm and dragging me away from the scene.
'Ow! What the hell Elena!'
'Have you heard from Bonnie?'
'No why?' I ask confused
Elena gives me a look and purses her lips
'Elena, what did Bonnie tell you?'
Elena contemplated it for a moment before she whispers to me
'Bonnie's a witch'
'What?!' I whisper shout back to her
'Yeah, she raised feathers up into the hair from my pillow, they were flying around my bedroom'
'Wow....' I gasp. What other magical creatures were real? We already had vampires, witches what's next, werewolves?
'Yeah, it's crazy, our best friend'
'YOUR best friend' I correct her

RING RING

Elena and I head inside at the sound of the bell and as I check my schedule I see history. I slightly smile as I can't wait for Stefan to grill the history teacher again.
As I enter the room I see Elena sitting in her usual seat but I furrow my eyebrows when I see Bonnie's empty chair. I take my seat and after a moment a random man walks into the classroom and starts to write something on the board. Then the second bell goes and Bonnie comes rushing in looking incredibly flustered. She sits behind Elena and I and we both turn to face her
'Are you alright?' I mouth and I'm assuming Elena did too but Bonnie just nods
'Good Morning everyone' the teacher says grabbing everyone's attention.
'Alrighty. I'm Alaric Saltzman. It's mouthful.I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family emigrated here in 1755 to Texas. I, however,was born and raised in Boston. Now the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grand-father I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronouce"Alarac" but it's ..."Alaric", okay. So you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher'

'Ok that's it for this lesson, make sure you complete your homework' Mr Saltzman says as we pack up our stuff and head for the door.
'Oh Miss Gilbert'
Elena and I turn around to face him
'Oh sorry ummm, Georgia Gilbert'
I look back at Elena who waves goodbye, I had no idea what this teacher wanted me to talk to her about.
'Hello Ms Gilbert just give me a minute to get your file' he says and I see him pull my file out of a draw.
'So, your old teacher says your ok at school but you do have a problem with that mouth of yours'
'I don't know what your talking about' I say acting dumb
'Very funny because according to your file you've had a pretty hard time since your parents deaths, talking back to teachers, having this idea that you can do whatever you like that sort of thing'
'And why are you telling me this' I say rudely
'I believe that your just having a hard time adjusting and that's totally normal and as your new teacher I think I should give you the chance to turn yourself around a little, you have good grades for the most part so I want to see if your willing to change your attitude, I can help you do that if you want' he tells me and I couldn't help but feel a little comforted but I quickly shoved it down
'What makes you think I want to change'
'Because you were a different student when your parents were around, from what Ms Gold has told me. She also says you were looking at colleges in New York is that correct?' He asks and I reluctantly nod my head
'What for?'
'My artworks' I mumble
'Why so far?, there are plenty of really good art schools closer to Mystic Falls' he says
I clench my jaw as I look at my new history teacher, this was getting way to personal for me and Ms Gold betrayed me after promising our sessions were confidential
'That's not your business Mr Alarac, if your THAT interested in a 17 year old's life, firstly are you sure that your not a creep and second, why don't you go take Ms Golds job since you have no problem asking for a students information that's legally confidential' I snap purposely saying his name wrong before giving him a fake smile and then heading out of the classroom without another word. He had no right to say those things to me. I wasn't going to have him treat me that way.
