It Happened - Menage a Trois

Chapter 3

I don't know what is going on with everyone today.

Seriously.

It has been a week since the Halloween party and I was surprised by how slow things were happening. In the show they skipped all the events that were of no great importance to the plot, and so one would think that everything was developing in the span of days. The reality I came to know was different. I had been here in the fictional Mystic Falls for almost two months and shockingly I was getting pretty used to it.

This thought shocked me one morning when I was getting ready for school. I was making breakfast, vegan yes, and surprisingly all the Gilbert's were present for it. What was even more shocking was how Jeremy was actually talking about Lucy, his newfound girlfriend, Elena was giving him advice for their next date and Jenna was gushing over how normal all of this was. Beluga had been following me around and he was growing bigger and bigger with each passing day.

Alaric had come in to town too, he had been kicking Jer's ass with so many projects and homework that I had to give it to him. None the less everyone loved the new teacher and for the time being he was keeping a low profile.

Me, being the 'cool sister' that I was, tried my best to ignore Elena and Jeremy subtle schemes to wrap me into doing something together. It was funny actually, the younger one, one day asked me if I wanted to play on the console with him and because I love video games I was all for it. I expected him to start bitching like the brat I knew him to be but he was trying to have a normal, very awkward conversation with me. He went as far as to ask me what was I thinking of Lucy.

Wasn't Elena enough? Why rope me into all of it too?

Understanding that he was searching consciously or not for his second big sis's approval, I stopped myself from answering with the bitchy response I had on the tip of my tongue. He was shocked. I was shocked.

The worst part ever?

It wasn't such a bad thing. But after that he came more often to my room, just asking random and totally unnecessary questions, seeking my opinion or just wanting to see the new photos I had made.

Elena on the other hand became even more invasive with wanting to know what I was doing with all of my free time. Like I would actually tell her that I was reading every book that I got my hands on or information on how I got here or why.

Yes, let's tell her that she is my dear not-sister-but-sister-from-this-show-that-now-is-somehow-a-reality...she would totally get it.

And let's not forget about how she was as clueless as ever about the existence of vampires.

How did she get it so fast in the series, again? Ah, yes! She was actually together with one blood sucker and he wasn't so good at keeping his secret... secret. Now they were just friends and didn't talk outside of the classes they had or whenever the whole group got together.

It was such a strange sight to be seen, like seriously, those two were definition of a perfect dream couple the first three seasons of the show. Now...they were just friends...

Mind blowing.

I was slowly, even thoughI wasn't sure if I wanted to, becoming close with everyone of the crew. In the beginning it was so easy to see them as those fictional characters that had made mistakes or were just interesting to observe as they ponder on their problems, but now I was part of their problems. I was actually put numerous times in the position to give advises too...me!

And just like that the witch that I was fangirling over for being so strong and cool, became my friend that came to me to show me what knew she learned from her Grams or just to talk.
