Jericho Bennett was an only child.
It was just her and her father, Victor Bennett.
She preferred it that way, honestly.
Victor Bennett is the twin brother to Abby Bennett, Bonnie's absent mother.
Jericho and Bonnie were close growing up, until Bonnie preferred Elena's company to her own flesh and blood.
The seventeen year old girl looked in the mirror before grabbing her tote bag, filling it with necessities.
It was the first day of school and Jericho could not be more frustrated at the fact she had one more year before she travels the world— away from Mystic Falls.

The Bennett teenager arrived at school in her brand new car, her birthday was yesterday and her dad surprised her with the BMW.
She climbed out of her car and went towards the school entrance, her skin crawled seeing all the awkward people just smile at her.
As much as the Bennett girl wanted to be invisible, she was quite popular. "Richo," the blonde girl cheered bringing her into a quick but effective hug. "I missed you this summer, the pictures you sent in Spain, Greece and Italy were so cute!"
Jericho awkwardly pats Caroline on her back before she pulls away. The blonde looped her arm with Jericho's before approaching Bonnie and Elena.
Jericho hadn't spoken to Elena since last year, she really had nothing to say to the Gilbert girl. Until, her parents died and she missed the funeral because she was out of town. "Elena."
She then looks up at Elena, who sends her a soft glare. The Gilbert was aware that Jericho tolerated her because of Bonnie, but she wanted to get to know her. "I'm not good with condolences and I don't know how you feel so I'm not gonna lie and say I do. You have people that are here to help if you need it. Don't feel like you have to tell people you're okay if you're not."
Jericho finished speaking and Bonnie sent her a soft smile. She knew her cousin didn't consider Elena a friend, but was happy to hear her giving words of encouragement anyways. "Thank you, Jericho. Honestly that's the best condolence I've received."
Elena smiled slightly, studying the shorter girl's features. Caroline then goes on her way and drags the other Bennett along with her. "I hate it here."

Jericho was in class when she felt a chill go down her spine. She dropped her pen and looked around, what the hell? she thought.
