The bell rings signaling the end of class. Students get up from their desks and start to leave the classroom. Jeremy is packing up his stuff when a paper is thrown down onto his desk by Alaric. Jeremy looks down at the paper and picks it up. A giant red "A" is marked on the paper. Jeremy smiles, stunned by his grade.

Kaeden got an "A" too. He heads out to his truck and gets a text from Bonnie.

Bonnie: Hey I'm heading to the 50s dance. You wanna come?

To be honest, Kaeden doesn't want to dress up like he's in the 50s, cause last he check, it wasn't a good time for black people in those days. They were still second class citizens. But considering that Bonnie is going, he'll go with her. Not only to spend time with her, but protect her should Damon come near her.

Anyways he's gonna to head to the grill and work.

————————Mystic Grill

Kaeden was working in the back cleaning the cups when he smelled a vampire. Only it wasn't Damon, it was another dude. One he knows.

Benjamin McKittrick. Or Ben. A lifelong resident of Mystic Falls, and a former star of the local football team. After high school, his friends moved away to go to college, but he didn't, so he became a washed-up jock and began working as a bartender at the Mystic Grill.

He and Kaeden are cool and all. But he wondered at first as to how he became a vampire and why is he working night shifts instead of morning or afternoon shifts. It was only when he looked at his fingers or neck did he noticed that he's not wearing one of those Daylight Amulets.

He acts cool towards him so he can figure out who turned him.

Down in the restaurant, Elena and Bonnie are having dinner at a table. Kaeden uses his enhanced hearing to listen in them. "I can't believe you're adopted. I never saw that coming." Now that interested Kaeden. Elena being adopted. Weirdly enough.

"And it gets weirder. I looked at my birth certificate. It lists Miranda and Grayson Gilbert as my birthparents. None of it makes any sense." Kaeden is thinking of asking his mom about Miranda and Greyson Gilbert adopting Elena. Maybe she might know something.

"Which is why you should ask Jenna." Bonnie suggested, causing Elena to groan. "First of all, the Elena I know would always want the real truth, good or bad."

"And second of all?"

"You just found out your boyfriend is a [whispers] vampire, so unless your birthparents are aliens...[Elena laughs.] How bad could it be?"
