Friends

In the Mystic Grill

"Hey Vick." Jeremy Gilbert greets the elder girl.

"Working." She replies without sparing him a glance as she arrives at Matt and Tyler's table.

"Thanks, Vick." Matt smiles at his sister as she places their drinks onto their table.

"Do you need another refill?" Vicki smiles flirtatiously at Tyler Lockwood.

"I'd love one." Tyler replies, checking out the waitress.

When Vicki leaves the table, Matt stares at his best friend, "Please tell me you're not hooking up with my sister."

"I'm not hooking up with your sister." Tyler lies to his friend without even flinching.

Matt shakes his head, "You're such a dick."

Jeremy rushes to catch up with Vicki, "Hey, what's your deal? I mean, summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered."

"Look, Jeremy, I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals, but you can't keep following me around like a lost puppy." Vicki shakes her head at the young teen's behaviour.

Jeremy looks at her hurt, "When's the last time you had sex with a puppy?"

Vicki panics and looks around, "Hey, keep it down. I don't want to tell the whole world I deflowered Elena's kid brother."

"Yeah, and deflowered and deflowered." Jeremy moans.

Vicki huffs, "We hooked up a few times in a drug haze. It's over. You gotta back off before you ruin things between me and Tyler."

Jeremy rolls his eyes but he couldn't deny that it didn't hurt a bit, "Oh, come on, the guy's a total douche. He only wants you for your ass."

Vicki looked at Jeremy straight in the face, suddenly very serious, "Yeah? What do you want me for?"

Jeremy looks at her dumbfounded then Caroline and Bonnie enter.

"His name is Kol Mikaelson. He lives with his family up at the old Mikaelson Mansion. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. His dad's some big lawyer, so they moved around a lot. He has three older brothers and a sister. He's a Capricorn and his favourite colour is red." Caroline listed off, a wide smile on her face.

Bonnie stared at her in disbelief, "You got all of that in one day?"

Caroline rolled her eyes at her friend's naivety, "Oh, please, I got all that between third and fourth period. We're planning a June wedding."

Gilbert Residence

Elena walked around grabbing the things that she needed, "I'm meeting Bonnie at the grill." She shouted to her aunt.

"Okay, have fun. Wait, I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night." Jenna replied, smiling playfully.

Elena returned her smile, "Well done, Aunt Jenna." She opened the door but was quickly stopped from leaving as the boy of her nightmares blocked her way, "Oh" She muttered in surprise.

"Sorry, I was about to knock. I wanted to apologize for lying to you earlier, I didn't want you to think that I was that type of person." Kol spoke awkwardly as he scratched the back of his neck, guilt had been eating him up since earlier, it was something he had barely felt before.

"Well I would've preferred that you told the truth. Especially seeing as you were getting high with my little brother." She remained offensive.

"Um, I'm sorry again. How are you feeling after earlier?" He decided to change the subject.

"Oh, I'm fine. How did you know where I lived?" She eyes him suspiciously.

"It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw." He shrugged. "Um, I thought you might want this back." He held out her diary.

"Oh, I must have dropped it. I--thank you." She smiled lightly at him as she took the diary from him.

"Don't worry, I didn't...read it." He rushed to say.

"No? Why not? Most people would have."

"I didn't want to breach your privacy." His stance remained awkward

Elena saw him in a bit of a different light, she didn't know him so she shouldn't judge him. "Yeah. I'm just gonna...umm, you don't have to stay out there." She put her journal in the house.

Kol remained still, "I'm fine. Sorry, were you going somewhere?"

Elena smiled, shutting the door behind her, "Yeah, I'm meeting a friend. Do you want to come?"

They smiled at each other and left.
