02. This Year Will Be Different

Asher walked in the woods, when his eyes suddenly landed on a purple goo on a fallen branch, without wasting anytime he followed the traces of the goo which led him right towards Mystic Falls High School, he entered the school and started following the trails of the goo which led him right towards the janitor's room, he used her magic to open the door, he waited a moment for someone to come out but when no one did, he took a step towards the room, someone walked over to him.

"Aren't you a little short for a janitor? It's nice to know I'm not the only one trying to hide out on the first day of school".

"I wasn't hiding" Asher stated, kind of offended anyone would think that about him, "I was looking for the principal's office".

"Well, you're in luck, I'm new to but I'm pretty sure that's him right behind him".

"Hi", after hearing the familiar voice of his former headmaster, Asher immediately turned around and his eyes went wide seeing Alaric walking over to him, "I'm principal Saltzman", Alaric looked at Asher and immediately a confused expression formed on his face, "Who are you?".

Hope entered her dorm room and immediately she was confused seeing her two best friends doing yoga.

"What the hell is happening here?" an extremely confused Hope asked.

"What does it look like, Hope?" Nova asked.

"We're doing yoga" Mia informed.

"I thought you both hated yoga" Hope remembered.

"We do" Mia said.

"We did" Nova corrected, "But since Alec and Mia can't use the ascendant to find more about the merge, both of them have agreed to stop worrying about that and instead focus on the present".

"What does that have to do with you two doing yoga?" Hope wondered.

"Nova doesn't trust us to keep to our word so she's making us do different activities that would keep us distracted" Mia revealed.

Nova looked at Hope, "Smart, right?".

"Very" an amused Hope said.

"Thank you" a smug Nova said, "This semester is the semester that both Mia and Alec are going to be open to any and every opportunity that comes their way, this is the semester that all these two say is yes, no is no longer part of their dictionary".

"Yeah, you might be able to get Mia on board but good luck getting Alec to say yes to anything" Hope said.

Nova shrugged, "Something tells me Alec will listen to me".

Mia looked at Nova in confusion, "Why's that?".

"Because I have very persuasive eyes" Nova lied, not knowing how to tell her best friends the change in her and Alec's relationship.

Alec entered the common room and immediately his eyes landed on Nova who was talking to a witch, the moment her eyes landed on Alec, a huge smile formed on Nova's face and she excused herself from the witch and walked over to the Salvatore boy, "Hey stranger".
