You're Not A Gilbert

Inanna POV

Hey. I said to Jer

What's up?

Do you have some time to talk?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Not here. Come on. Let's get out of the house.

X

I just can't believe mom and dad never told you that you were adopted.

I'm sure they would have eventually.

Why were you worried about what I thought?

Because...I don't know. It's weird. Going you're whole life thinking you're related by blood to someone.

Does it bug you that we're not?

No, Jer...you're my brother, that's all that matters.

He smiled

So, Mr. Saltzman said you've been doing great in history now.

Yeah, yeah he's really been helping me out. He gave me some extra credit and stuff.

He loved your vampire paper.

He thought I had a clever angle.

What drew you to that subject matter?

I don't know, boredom or maybe I'm just as nuts as the long line of Gilbert crazies.

Gilberts aren't crazy.

Easy for you to say, you're not one.

I stopped

Ouch.

I hit him with my shoulder and ran after him.

After catching him

I think you should talk to Lena about this too

Yeah, I will

X At the founders day 150-anniversary kick-off party

Stefan was at the bar drinking when Elena and I arrived.

He saw us, put the glass on the bar and waved at us

Hey!

Hey. How are you?

He kissed her on the cheek.

Are you drunk?

Okay, I know it's a little weird but it's really helping me. The alcohol takes the edge off.

You're totally that drunk high school guy at parties sneaking booze.

I totally am, yeah.

How worried do I need to be?

Oh no! You don't need to be worried. It's just until the cravings go away. Listen, I think we should enjoy it while it lasts. Would you like to dance with me?

You hate dancing. I usually have to beg you.

No, no, no you have to beg the sober me. The drunk me there is no begging necessary.

She looked at the dance floor.

There's really no one dancing.

That's because they need something better to dance to. I'll be right back.

He leaves

Elena and I looked at Stefan as He was compelling the DJ.

Yeah thats not gonna work I tried to bribe the DJ and it didnt work he said carol has total control over the music
