"Blue or pink?" I held up the highlight examples and swiveled around in the hair stylists chair.

"My honest opinion? Purple." I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"I'm so glad I married you." An affectionate smile crossed my face.

Caroline's POV

I hadn't been ready the day that I had met him. It was weird. His dirty blonde hair, his dark blue eyes staring at me from the back of the classroom. He was intimidating, he was unexplainable.

"Care. Care!"My bestfriend in front of me snapped her fingers close to my eyes.

"O-oh sorry. He just won't stop staring at me."

My best friend's name is Elena. She has dark brown hair and eyes to match. She has fair skin, a slim body, and long legs. She's into cheerleading and having fun.

Me? I'm into having fun, cheerleading, and being the best I can be.

This was our first day as juniors.

"Just ignore him, yeah?"I nodded and opened my book. In an instant, I journeyed to a different world.

Caroline's POV

"Ms. Forbes." I felt a slight tap on my shoulder as my teacher spoke.

"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I- I didnt mean to fall asleep. How long have I been asleep?"

My teacher looked hopelessly at his watch,"According to my watch--since 4th block."

Fourth block?! After fourth was fifth and each lasted an hour.

"Did you let me fall asleep?"

"No,no. You fell asleep I assume, in fourth, and I went to a meeting during fifth. Its alright, I notified your teacher. " I nodded and remembering I'm a drooler, I wiped my face.

I left his classroom with my things and walked outside to my car.

Caroline's POV

The next day I had caught up with the work I missed for last block the day before.

"Hey heavy sleeper."A laid-back Elena hit me in the shoulder as her steps fell in sync with mine.

"Shut up. I hope no one noticed."I was utterly embarrassed. Knowing that at some point in my day, someone could bring it up, was awful.

"Hey, don't look now. Mister tall and handsome has his eyes all over you."My eyes flashed over the mysterious boy and I continued walking, ignoring him.

"Come on Care, you can't just brush him off the whole time."

"Can and will."I just wanted him off of my case.

"He seems alright."

"No Elena, he seems like a crazy nut-job."Elena rolled her eyes and walked ahead of me.

I looked at the picnic table that he sat at. I looked over in that direction and saw that he was gone.

"Oh, so you decided to catch up?"Elena gave me a malicious look as she nodded her head towards the dark figure in the back of the room.

How did he get here so quickly? Gosh, he's freaky.

"Alright class, have a seat."Our teacher sat us down with a gesture of his hand. I leaned back in my seat and felt his eyes bore into the back of my head.

Attempting to ignore that feeling, I opened my book and started reading.

"Ms. Forbes, if you please, don't fall asleep?"My face flushed bright pink and I began to sweat horrendously.

"Calm down Care."Elena must have noticed my anxiety as everyone stared at me. I listened as whispers crossed the room, ending with a small chuckle.

My head turned to watch as my stalker laughed at me. How embarrassing.

"Look, he's even cuter when he laughs. "Elena spoke into my ear as I watched the boy laugh. A grin crossed his face and he put his feet on his desk.

"First school event is today! Please, join us for a bonfire and school celebration!"

Did I mention I'm into every single extracurricular at my school? I help set up rallies, parties, prom, and help with almost anything else.

I've put the whole school into my hands for three years now. I've helped set up all the events we've had whilst keeping my grades up, being head cheerleader, and becoming Miss Mystic Falls. By the way, Mystic Falls is where I live.

We had just finished setting up the banner for the rally. The bonfire was prepared and the hidden keg was in order.

Elena placed the very last nail into a tree, signifying that the banner was securely hung.

"You should have asked whats his name to be your date for the bonfire."

"No thank you. I don't even know who he is."Elena laughed a bit and pulled me over towards the keg. Her brother was handing drinks out to people and taking some for his own.

Elena gave her brother a stern talking to about alcohol and how he was under age limit.

"Elena, we're all under age."She didn't speak for a moment and then tilt her head up, chugging a cup of beer.

As our friend Matt started to walk towards us, I felt a huge chill come over me. I looked around in search for someone watching me. I scanned around until finally--I saw him.

"I'll be back."Without thinking, my feet began to march towards him and stop right infront of him.

"Why do you keep staring at me!?"I didn't mean to sound harsh, but it just kind of happened.

He gave me a distant look and held his hand out.

"My name is Mikaelson. Niklaus Mikaelson."Again, without thinking, I took his hand in mine and smiled.

"Caroline Forbes."Up close he was overwhelmingly handsome. His warmth projected out to my body and his smile made my heart flutter.
