"Your sister seems to be my partner for this new witch project." Hope set her backpack down next to the blonde girl sitting at a table, seemingly sketching something on her tablet.

"Keep it in your pants Mikaelson." Lizzie teases, not even looking up from tablet.

"What- I wasn't even- you know what nevermind. I don't even know why I try with you." Hope huffed, plopping down in the chair next to her best friend.

"I was just messing, and plus Josie has a girlfriend in which you would never meddle in." Lizzie says in a matter-of-fact statement.

"Exactly, anyways so what do you want for lunch?" Hope pulls out her phone, ready to order.

Alaric obviously don't want strangers to see or come by the school, so to get lunch, you'd have to pick it up which it isn't a long walk if you deliver it near the school. A work around that Josie came up with in which Lizzie told the whole school.

"Craving a massive burrito right now." Lizzie sighed, imagining the delicacy as she speaks.

"Alright, order for me too. I'm going to go get water." Hope handed Lizzie her phone and Lizzie swiftly scooped it up from her best friend.

"Mhm." She shooed causing Hope to roll her eyes.

Hope made her way to the cafe looking where she almost bumps into someone then realized it was Josie.

"Oh hey Josie." She greeted while grabbing a bottle of water.

"Hi Hope." Josie didn't pay the girl any mind, her attention was definitely else where, which lowkey irritates the girl since they would have a project to work on in just a few hours.

"You eat a lot of vegetables, are you vegetarian or vegan?" Hope tried to spark up a conversation.

"Hm." Josie only hums and throw her salad away. "Do you need something?" She asks with a bit of an attitude which Hope didn't like one bit.

"What's your issue?" Hope crossed her arms.

"I'm just confused on what you want from me?" Josie squinted her eyes at the older girl.

"I don't want anything, just trying to be civil since we are going to be working on a project together." Hope rolled her eyes and huffed before walking away. As soon as she reached Lizzie, she sat down with an even more dramatic plop catching Lizzie's attention. "Your sister is a bitch." She crosses her arms again.

"I never thought I hear that sentence ever, I'm usually the bitchy sister." Lizzie jokes and Hope shakes her head with a small laugh.

"All I wanted was to be civil and she just became infuriating." Hope watched as Lizzie eyes trailed up and down the phone.

"Maybe she's just in a mood, it'll blow by." Lizzie shrugs then hand Hope her phone back.

"Hopefully." Hope groans and Lizzie laughs.

"I'm bipolar and you have anger issues, what a duo." Lizzie continues to laugh until Hope joins in.

Later in the evening, the three girls are in the twins room. Josie and Hope were working on their project while Lizzie was yet again on her tablet but while listening to music.

"You're wrong." Josie rolled her eyes for the twentieth time evening.

"How am I wrong when I know this is the correct way to do it?" Hope rhetorically asked.

"I'm a witch who can only utilize in using potions so I can't rely on magic, I know potions more than you and I'm saying that you're wrong." Josie crossed her arms.

"My aunt is the oldest living witch, I have more knowledge about this stuff than you so I know what I'm doing!" Hope gritted her teeth, growing more irritated.

"Fine, screw it up. As if I care!" Josie shoots up and leaves the room while Hope huffs.

"God she is so infuriating!" Hope removes herself from the floor and sat in the chair for the desk.

"Are the married couple fighting again?" Lizzie teases and Hope shoots her a look.

"Lizzie." Hope grumbles and Lizzie laughs.

"It was a joke!" She put up her hands in defense.

"How do you even deal with her?" Hope sighs.

"We have a system really, she does most the work while I do the planning. She is quiet and I'm obnoxious. Simple." Lizzie shrugs and Hope gets up then cuddles into her best friend.

"I'm not going to argue with her anymore, we are going to do this separate and pick which one is better." Hope muffled in Lizzie's stomach and Lizzie only shrugs.

As Josie roam the halls, she finally finds who she was looking. As soon as she reached the blonde, she pulled her into an empty classroom and locked their lips.

"Woah, hello to you too." Jade let her hands roam and Josie bit her lip with a smile.

"Hi, I'm in the mood so." Josie lip twitched into a smirk.

They lips locked again, heavily, and let clothes be taken off. As Jade began to trail her lips lower, the intercom goes off.

"Josie, Hope and Lizzie please report to my office." Her father blared through the empty room causing Josie to groan.

"Is the universe against me?" Josie mumbles as she fetch her shirt while Jade laughs.

"See you later tonight?" Jade wiggle her eyebrows with a bite of her bottom lip.

"Depends on what my father wants." Josie fixed her skirt.

"Awe man." Jade frowns and Josie wrap her arms around Jade's neck.

"See you later." Josie smiles and connect their lips for a few seconds before pulling away and making her away out the classroom and to her father's office.

When she opens the door, she is faced with everyone, including her mother.

"Shockingly, you're the last one here." Alaric spoke and Josie only roll her eyes when his trailed to the other two girls.

"Such a shock." Hope muttered and Josie squinted her eyes again.

"I'm sorry I have a life compared to you." She sassed and Hope gives her a glare.

"Enough girls, I thought you'd be more happy to see me." Caroline smiles at Josie who smiles softly.

"Of course I am, but I also want to get this over with so." Josie says after hugging her mom then sat down next to Lizzie.

"I need you three to help track down a new monster, whatever it is, is super fast and strong so be careful. It seems to reside in the forest, near the mill mostly so that area is restricted until you three figure out what that thing is." Alaric explained, opening a folder on his desk.

"How did you find out about it?" Hope questions.

"It injured one of the wolves, we are currently waiting for them to heal to get some more information." He sighs and they give each other a look before nodding.

"We'll go scope right now, it must be hunting right now." Hope suggest.

"So if it is hunting right now, why are we going into the den?" Josie rose an eyebrow.

"Fresher the tracks the better Josette." Hope rolled her eyes.

"Oh let me guess, your family has been hunting their whole life so you know what's best for that too?" Josie sassed and Hope shoots her a glare while the adults look between the two with confusion.

"Enough! My goodness you two are going to give me a headache. We'll go tomorrow and get prepared tonight, got it!" Lizzie huffed.

"Fine." Hope growls lowly.

"Whatever." Josie mutters.

"Jesus...Goodnight parents." Lizzie shoots and bid her farewells to her parents while dragging the other two to the gym.
