✔️| Gilbert (K.M. Love Story)

~••♪6♪••~

Ariana sat at the back of Alaric's classroom, her hands trailing gently against her book which had been specifically made from brail for her. The ex vampire hunter ranted at the front of the classroom and occasionally, the new student Rebekah would cut in.

Ariana recognized the girls beautiful British accent but she couldn't place where it was from, she was also very aware of the fact that Stefan sat beside her...with no emotions. But she decided that she wouldn't ponder too far and instead focused in the lesson.

"Aria" Stefan whispered to her when the lesson was over and the girl jolted gently at the sudden sound, she felt his hand place over hers and was slightly fearful.

"Stef?"

"I'm not gonna hurt you" he promised and his words were entirely true, he couldn't explain why but he had no desire to hurt the blind girl, instead he was drawn to her, her emotionless eyes sparked something in him that he slightly wished to push away, guilt.

He felt guilt that he'd left her and went with Klaus, she was Stefan's sister now and he refused to deny that, the fact that he had caused her pain was sparked when he saw the familiarity of her hollow gaze. 

"Why not?"

''I don't know" he coughed gently "would you like me to take you to the football pitch? Caroline said she was going to meet you there right?"

"Yes, thank you" she took his hand and he guided her down the hallways and onto the pitch, he did however make sure she didn't step in mud as she still wore her pristine white heels.

"Here we go" he grinned and looked over at Elena who was running in the track, in doing so his emotions flickered away, leaving him with only darkness within. "I'm leaving now"

"Thanks again" she giggled and sat on the nearest metal bench she could find, listening as the cheerleaders exited the gym.

"Aria!" Caroline squealed and ran to her "I'm so sorry! I left you all alone in history! I had to be quick because we need to replace Dana and ....I'm just so sorry!"

"It's fine Care, go and cheer." She beamed and was gifted a hug before the preppy Cheerleaders presence vanished.

"Hello?" She tilted her head at the new voice which graced her ears, she could tell distinctly that the person sat to her right and so she turned slightly. It was clearly the new girl, Rebekah, by the beautiful accent.

"Rebekah?"

"How did you know who I was?"

"Your voice gave it away, you have a beautiful accent" she complimented and Rebekah grinned, Klaus wasn't lying when he said that the blind Gilbert girl was much nicer than her selfish twin.

"Thank you, your voice is also very beautiful"

"Thank you, I go to Julliard music school"

"Wow, that's amazing, what are you doing here?"

"I'm taking a break, I only had a term of tuition left and they said I could do it from home"

"Well, I'm glad you are here, you seem to be the only decent person around here" the blonde original sighed.

"Are you related to Niklaus?"

"Yes"

"I knew I recognized your voice from someone" Ariana giggles. "Nik is very kind to me."

"He Is?" Rebekah was shocked yet pleased.

"Yes, but he might just be taking pity on me"

"Why would he do that?"
