A frown was etched on her pink lips as she entered the high school, wrapping her denim jacket tighter around her body.
Her old, worn out combat boots echoed throughout the empty hallway as she made her way through the school. She jumped a little upon hearing a noise coming from a classroom and she quietly went to inspect what was happening.
Hope swung open the door, setting off a bunch of mousetraps that covered the floor, and consequently a bunch of groans came from the students inside.
"I'm sorry," she sighed.
"Forgot about senior prank night, huh?" Tyler questioned.
"Yeah, sorry. I was just looking for Matt. Have you guys seen him?"
"No, but I can help you find him if you want," Elena began to stand up, feeling sorry for Hope who looked beyond stressed.
"No, that's okay. I'll find him," the blonde denied, quickly exiting the classroom.
She closed the door behind her and walked down the hallway quickly, needing to get away from Elena. Hope couldn't bear to face her after she saw Stefan – knowing that he would always love the doppelgänger.
Hope collided with another body, stumbling a little but not enough to fall down. Strong hands steadied her, and she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Are you okay?" Matt looked down at her with worry.
"I – I don't know." A lump formed in her throats and it became harder to talk. "Can we talk?"
"Isn't that what we're doing right now?"
"Somewhere more private."
The pair made their way towards the gym where they sat on the bleachers, Matt taking her small hands in his.
"When I say what I'm about to tell you, promise me you won't get mad."
"I promise, Hope, what is it," he let out a light laugh.
She opened her mouth to tell him the words that had been weighing her down the last few days when the doors to the gym burst open and a man called out with a fake American accent.
"Attention seniors! You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home."
Hope looked closer, only to realise that it was the same man from the bar. It took her a few moments but she finally pieced it together – the man in front of her was Klaus.
