If only, Damon Salvatore

037. MAKE THEM BELIEVE YOU'RE ON THEIR SIDE

Chapter seven

"Make them believe you're on their side."

The next morning, Beatrix got ready for school, wearing her black skirt and turtle neck, she was sitting downstairs, eating breakfast with her mother and grandmother where they all were perfectly happy, where when Beatrix finished her breakfast, she stood up, kissing her mother and grandmother on the cheek as she turned walking to the door, grabbing her school bag and heading out.

Making it to school, Beatrix had a smile on her face as she walked down the hallway, and into the classroom, Stefan, Elena and Bonnie all looked at her with furrowed brows, wondering why she seemed so happy after being doom and gloom for awhile, as she sat in her seat, Alaric walked in only minutes after her "hello, class." he told them, as he cleared his throat "what..are we learning today.." he told them, flipping through his papers "with the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week." Dana shared "right. The 60's." Alaric told them, as Beatrix dropped her pen off of her desk, she looked around her and noticed nobody watching as she brought her hand down and lifted it up toward's her hand.

Which Stefan noticed as he looked at her with wide eyes, knowing she wasn't the type to just use magic out in the open like that "the, uh.." Alaric said as he began writing on the chalkboard "the 60's..wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but" he shared, turning to face them, Beatrix furrowed her brows at the way he wrote on the board, it was different then Alaric did, as Alaric turned to them "uh, actually, they kind of sucked. Except for the Beatles of course, they made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The cuban missile thing, the, uh, we walked on the moon. There was watergate." he shared.

"Watergate was actually in the 70's." Beatrix corrected him, and when she did, everyone turned and looked at her "what? Missed the smartest person in the class?" she asked, raising her brows and smirking "right, it, uh, kind of mushes all together, up here, the 60's, 70's. Thank you, Beatrix." Alaric told her, as he turned around, Beatrix felt eyes on her still, as she turned seeing Stefan smirked at her, in which her smirk fell and turned into a glare, as she turned away from him.

Standing in line for lunch, Elena was right behind her "you seem happier." she shared, as Beatrix shrugged grabbing an apple "well, I can't be sad girl forever. Beside's I don't have a bone to pick with Bonnie or Caroline or I guess even you, it's just Stefan and Damon who killed the one guy who actually liked me and wanted to be with me." she shared, putting the apple on her tray, Elena sighed "he was gonna hurt me, Beatrix." she told her "no, he wasn't. At least not until Damon stabbed him and killed him. I mean Elijah warned him by stabbing a pencil in his neck, guess he didn't get the message." Beatrix shared, as the two paid for their lunch and turned walking off to the table Bonnie was sitting at with Jermey.

Where Beatrix dropped her tray down next to Bonnie as she sat next to her "hey, Jer. How you doing? Are you okay alone at the house with John?" Elena asked Jermey "it's not ideal." Jermey told her, as he stood up, Beatrix furorwed her brows "what's his problem?" she asked, biting into her apple, as Bonnie turned to her "he's mad because he found that if we use the power of the witches that it could kill us." she shared, as Beatrix hummed "he knows me and my family have the power of resurrection, right?" she asked, as Bonnie sighed "yeah, but you know, people who aren't like us don't understand. And I mean like your grandma tried to explain to me, witchcraft isn't a joke, it takes more then just practice and a few spells and now that i finally get to do something with mine, he's scared." she shared.

As Beatrix shook her head "well don't look at me, my track record with men is awful. My grandma says our family's cursed." she shared, taking another bite out of her apple, Bonnie raised her brows "I'd take hot dead vampire over clingy worried boyfriend any day." she shared, as her and Beatrix chuckled, Elena sat down "what's going on?" she asked, as Beatrix felt this weird taste in her mouth and spit out her apple, and when she did, Bonnie turned back to her "oh my god, is that rotten?" she asked "it wasn't before." Beatrix told her, as her, Bonnie and Elena grimaced, Beatrix shook her head "that's it, I'm throwing my lunch away." she told them, grabbing her tray and standing up, walking off to the garbage can.
