{Skyler's POV}
{Home}
Jermey came into my room and woke me up. I got a shower and got dressed (up top^). Then brought Wolfe out and and feed him.

{School}
I walked in to school and went to English. Mr. Parker was talking about all the stuff that we learned last year. So I started to do my 12th grade work sheets.

Just then Mr. Parker said, " Miss. Gilbert are you paying attention?"

I look up at Mr.Parker and say innocently, "I'm sorry Mr. Parker but we are learning about something that we already learned and half of us didn't forget the stuff of the summer. So shouldn't we be doing some new things?"

He just looked at me and said "Just pay attention Miss.Gilbert." That said "Okay class you guys. You going to get partners to work with all year on all your assignments but I'm going to be picking them." All the class groaned except Stefan and me. "Austin and Ally. Ben and Alice. Stefan and Skyler. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

Just then the bell rang and we all started to leave. I then went to history.

"The battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?" Mr. Tanner called on Bonnie.

"Um... a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot." She said. 'That is just plan stupid!'

"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett." He told her. I smirked. 'I love this jackass.' "Mr. Donovan. Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" Mr. Tanner asks calling him at this time.

"It's okay Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it ." And most of the class laughed.

"Hm... Ms. Gilbert?" He called but quickly fixed his mistake. "Sorry about that Ms. Elena Gilbert." He clarified. "Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significant historical events." Mr. Tanner said.

"i'm sorry, I-- I don't know." She said.

"I was going to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses this ended with summer break." Mr. Tanner said.

"There were 346 casualties, unless you're counting local civilians." Stefan and I say together.

"That's correct. Ms. Gilbert and Mister...." Mr. Tanner said unsure of Stefan name.

"Salvatore." Stefan told him.

"Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" He asked.

"Distant." Stefan told him.

"Well, very good. Except for course there were no civilian casualties in this battle." Mr.Tanner told the class.

"Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss." Stefan and I say but Stefan added " The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts, Mr.Tanner." the class chuckled.

" Hmm." Me Tanner said.

{At home that night}
Wolfe and me sat on our bed studying. Then my phone started to ring.

"Skyler you have to go to the Grill and take care of Caroline." Bonnie told me throw the phone.

"Can you do that I don't have car? I also have to study." I tried to reason.

"I have strict parents I need to go home. So you can leave her here if you want." Bonnie told me. Then hung up.

The next thing I do is call Billy.

Ring ring ring ri- "Hey baby girl! What do you need?"Billy asked.

"Daddy I need to go get Caroline at The Grill. I need you to watch her and make shore she doesn't leave." I asked.

"Okay baby but bring Wolfe with you when you come."He demands me. Then hangs up.

I got up out of my comfortable bed and got dressed. I than text Jenna saying that I was going to pick up Caroline. I walked down stairs and open the and yelled "WOLFE!" He comes right down.

We start walking to 'The Grill'. On the way I start singing(up top ^). I open the door to the 'Grill' as Wolfe ran in. I start step walking to get to him when I hear a drunk girls voice saying "Wolfe!" really loudly, that caused everyone to look even thought there was a small amount of people in the 'Grill' at the time.

I put my head down and quickly walk over to my drunk best friend.

"Staaaaaaaaar!" Caroline sang trying to stand but failing. I shake my head at my drunk bestie.

I walk over a sit down. "Caroline are you drinking your coffee?" I question. She shakes her head rather childishly. "Care, Honey please drink your coffee. If you do we can have a sleepover at my house an watch funny Youtube videos."

She starts drinking her coffee easily after that. I look down and see that my dog is not there. So I start panicky looking around the 'Grill' for my dog. I find a blue eyed stranger start petting my dog. 'Crap he doesn't like strange but he lets him pet him.'

I look at Caroline and say "Stay here I'll be right back."but before I could stand said "Why didn't he go for me. I'm normal, I put my self out there. But they always go for Elena." I sit back down and sigh she is right everyone goes for her.

"Caroline," I sternly say. She looked at me with big eyes because I only call you that when I'm mad. "You are buy far prettier then Elena maybe even Beyonce. An even if a guy doesn't like you your Caroline Forbes you get the guy to like you. Every if you get married and I'm a lonely old grama I'm here for you!"

Caroline looked like she was going to cry. I stand up and go over to Caroline and hug her as she cried. When she's done I stand up and say "You good?" She nods her head laughing. "Wolfe!" my dog comes running over to us.

I walk over to Billy to see him wiping down the bar. "Hey dad. I think me and Baba are going to go back to my house."

Billy smiled at me and says "I'm off in 15 minutes I'll drive you and Caroline home." I smiled and nodded.

As promised Billy dropped me and Caroline off at my house. I support Caroline as we walk in to the house were Elena and Stefano were talking.

They look at us but i ignored them and put Care in my bed. I then call Wolfe and we walked down stair and we go to the kitchen I get Wolfe his food and water then sat on a chair waiting for Wolfe to finish. When he did I brought him outside to pee. While he was doing that I went up stair to chance into my pjs. Then open the door and let Wolfe back in. I laid in my bed by Caroline and let sleep take over me.
