Allison walked into the Grill in a nice blue tanktop, black pants, and black heels... since Jenna told her to look nice, and this was her attempt at it. She looked around the Bachelor ever, before walking over to where Caroline was since Matt and Elena had just left. "Alli?"
"Hey, Care." Allison pulled up the chair next to her, but then the blonde sighed. "She hates me."
"Okay.." Allison chuckled, "You're gonna have to be more specific."
"Matt's mom." She states, handing someone else a ticket and putting the money away. Allison gave the blonde a sympathetic smile, before adding. "Want me to sneak you okay a drink?"
"Really?" She lights up, but then they both watched Sheriff Forbes walk in. "Nevermind. Probably should stay sober while my mom is here."
"Good luck." Allison patted her shoulder, standing up but then she watched Damon head over to the sheriff. Ignoring the two, Allison walked over, giving Scott a look. "Pleeaassee." Scott sighed, before passing the brunette a glass, which she chugged but then saw Jenna come over. "That better be Pepsi."
"Uh, yeah, totally." Allison and Scott shared a look, the boy quickly moving away, not wanting to go down with Allison. But Allison just stood up, "You know, I actually see... someone and I'll be right back."

"And what do you do, Bachelor #3?" Carol Lockwood asked the man who she was next to on the stage. He speaks into the microphone she put in front of his face, "I'm a plumber."
"Isn't that wonderful." Carol says a little too happy. "We could always use more plumbers." She then pulls out another card, and moved to the next guy. "Moving on. Number 4, Alaric Saltzman- whoa, that's quit a mouthful. What do you do Alaric?"
"I'm a teacher at Mystic Falls High." He answers, causing Carol to look around the crowd with a smile. "Ooh, beauty and brains. Ladies, this ones a keeper. What do you teach?"
"History." He answers, and she smiles. "Oh, well, give us a fun fact about Mystic Falls. Something..." She shrugs, "crazy."
Allison actually stood up straighter when she saw him and Damon make eye contact. "Um, well..."
"He's probably saving the best stories for his date." Carol saves him, causing the young brunette to let out a breath of relief of there not being any conflict between the two. But that feeling quickly vanished when Carol moved on to Damon. "And last but not least, Damon Salvatore. We don't have much on you?"
"Well, I'm tough to fit on a card." He smirks, causing Allison to roll her eyes as Carol then asks. "Do you have any hobbies? Do you like to travel?"
"Oh, yeah. LA, New York..." His smirk then widened. "Couple years ago I was in North Carolina. Near the Duke campus, actually. I think... I think Alaric went to school there."
