Charlotte's POV

2 and ½ Months Later

After three months of living in Mystic Falls again, I was starting to get attached. Not a very good idea. But anyway for the past two and a half months I been mainly hanging out with Alaric (my new BFF), practicing for the Founders Party, and meeting with Carol and the band that she hired to play with me during the party. I am currently in my room making my final corrections on my songs.

My phone rang loudly interrupting me." The number you have dialed is currently busy, so don't waste her time." I answered without looking at the caller id.

"That's the weirdest greeting I've ever heard." Alaric's voice said laughing through my phone.

"Now your life is complete." I said sarcastically.

"Whoa, okay. You feeling okay today?" he asked worried.

"Yeah, sorry. It's this stupid Founders Party today. I'm worried that I will totally suck." I said groaning.

"You worry too much, Char." He said to me.

"I know. So, what were you going to ask me?" I asked him remembering that he called me.

"Oh, yeah. Will you be my date to the Founders Party? The Council is required to have dates and I can only turn down Creepy Hanna so many times." He asked desperately.

"Sure, Alaric. Pick me up at seven. But I'm going to be away from you for half the night." I told him.

"I'll take you gone for half the night over Creepy Hanna any day." He said in relief.

"Alright, Ric. No need to sound so desperate." I teased.

"I will have you know-" he started but I cut him off.

"Sorry, Ric. Gotta go! Caroline's here. See you later." I told him quickly before he could start ranting and hung up.

I laughed to myself as I got up to get ready for the party.I was ready a few minutes before seven. I had on a strapless goldish-cream dress that landed just above my knee, gold peep-toe pumps that showed my light pink toes. My hair was straightened and half up in a clip. I put on my locket followed by mascara, light pink lipstick, and my Wonderstruck perfume. I grabbed my cell phone and my keys and put them in my gold clutch.

I picked up my guitar case and walked downstairs."So, how do I look?" I asked Damon and Stefan as I descended the stairs.

Stefan smiled and grabbed my guitar case from me so I could walk down easier."You look amazing, Charlotte." Stefan complimented.

"Thank you, Stefan. You look quite spiffy yourself." I teased him.

I looked over at Damon and saw that he had a half dreamy like look and a half angry look on his face."You alright there Damon?" I asked him.

He seemed to snap out of his phase and cleared all the emotion from his face."I'm fine and you look very nice, Charlotte." He told me quickly.

"Thanks, Damon." I said softly. Then the bell rang loudly breaking the tension in the room. The three of us walked to the door.
