"Do you mind if I sit with you?"
I glanced up at the question and my eyebrows shot up as Rebekah looked down at me. "No of course not."
Picking up my bag from one of the empty chairs I watched her lower herself gracefully into the chair, her eyes flickering over to Caroline.
"Hi," Care said before she rose from her seat and picked up her lunch tray. "Tyler's waiting for me."
"Fine go off to lover boy ." I watched her leave, knowing that she was just using Tyler as an excuse to leave Rebekah's presence.
Rebekah watched the other blond leave before looking at me. "Tyler?"
"Her boyfriend."
She nodded and looked back down at her lunch tray, her mouth pursed.
"It's the most unappetising thing you've ever set eyes on, isn't it?" I asked
"It looks vile."
I smiled slightly and handed her a sandwich. "Take it, I always pack an extra one just in Caroline decides that she can't force that toxic sludge down her throat any longer."
She took it gratefully and sent me a genuine smile. "Thank you."
"No problem."
Slowly she began to speak more freely and for a small moment I forget her surname and the fact that she was a vampire, let alone an original. She just seemed so normal. She was a little bitchy, yes, but she was easy for me to get along with.
As she began to laugh her eyes narrowed slightly at a familiar voice. "Making new friends, sister."
My eyes met Kol's momentarily as he stood across from me. Sliding into the seat, he flashed me a smirk as she said, "Go away Kol."
"Why?" He raised an eyebrow challengingly. "You make it seem as if you and Julietta are having a conversation that is not meant for my ears."
"Is it so hard for you to just leave?"
He rolled his eyes and looked at me. "Whatever do you see in her? Surely the two of you aren't that similar? Unless of course you are a strumpet just like my dear sister."
"Kol."
"Hush now bekah." His eyes didn't stray from mine. "Tell me about yourself Julietta, do any of these boys here appeal to you?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
"He wants to know what your 'type' is," Rebekah added.
"Oh." I watched him carefully as his smirk grew progressively larger. "Not you." His smirk didn't falter.
"Oh really?" He leaned forward slightly. "I'm everyone's type."
"You're not mine."
"Well what is your type then darling?"
I don't know what had possessed me to do it and whether or not I has been compelled into doing it. Well compelling seemed impossible because of the vervain bracelet on my wrist but the word was out of my mouth before I could stop it.
"Human."
They stiffened drastically and I was subjected to a withering glare as Kol grasped my wrist firmly as he led me out of the cafeteria. His grip didn't use all of his supernatural strength but displaying enough to tell me that a pesky human would not be able to out do an original. Let alone two.
I watched his jar clench repeatedly as we left the building and Rebekah trailed after us. He tossed my wrist away from him.
"What do you know?"
I raised an eyebrow as he lowered his head and locked his eyes onto mine.
"If you're trying to compel me, it's not going to work."
He gripped my shoulders and I winced slightly. "What do you know?"
"I know about the originals," I began quietly, catching the minute glance they shared. "I know about vampires, werewolves, Elena. The list is endless."
He leaned in close, baring his fangs. "Don't act smart darling." He hissed maliciously. "How do you know this stuff?"
"Why don't you ask Klaus?"
I pulled myself out of his grasp and walked back into the school building. Catching sight of a familiar head of bronze hair, I rushed forward and caught his arm. "Stefan."
He looked down at me, his eyes showing his concern. "Jules?"
I bit my bottom lip. "I may have severely pissed off an original or two."
