Cassiopeia

Smells Like Teen Spirit

"Welcome back, seniors. Let's turn our brains back on, starting with this country's original founders Native Americans."

"What about the Vikings?"

"There's no evidence that Viking explorers actually settled in the United States. Who are you?"

"My name's Rebekah. I'm new, and history's my favorite subject."

"Yes, well next time show up to my class on time." Turning back to the board he wrote AP American History across it, "now let's get started." Twenty minutes into the period Alaric looked up from the history book in which he was lecturing from to see Cassie doodling in her notebook .

"Are we boring you Ms. Black?"

Cassie's head snapped up, "Never, Mr. Saltzman, on the contrary I've never heard a more riveting lecture."

"Ha, your funny I like funny just make sure you pay attention next time okay?" Not waiting for an answer he turned back to the book and continued his lecture. Taking her phone out Cassie texted her sister Luna, she had no reason to pay attention, anything they thought they could possibly teach her she already knows. Spending the rest of the class texting the rest of the time flew by. The bell ringing startled Cassie, looking around the class seeing everyone packing up, she grabbed her stuff hurried out of the class and out to her car deciding she didn't want to finish the school day. Cassie texted luna and told her to meet her by the car.

Hopping in her car, she didn't have to wait long for Luna to show up. Deciding to head over to the Grill, Cassie recounted what she saw in the gym the night before on Senior Prank night.

"I mean you should have seen it Luna. The way he executed the whole thing, turning Tyler, compelling Stefan to flip the switch, and to fracture Elena's spine if she runs, he was toying with them." hearing Cassie sigh Luna looks over and sees a dopey smile on her face and slightly psychotic look in her sisters eyes. Luna was well aware of her sister being slightly less sane than the rest of the world, save maybe Bellatrix, "it was a masterpiece truly."
"I'm sure it was sister" Luna replied not all completely there. Looking over at her sister Cassie could see that Luna was clearly seeing something. Just as they pulled up to the grill Luna seemed to snap out of it. She just tucked the information away, and made a mental note to ask Luna about what she saw later, they hopped out of the car and made their way into The Grill.

"I'll go grab us some drinks real quick, why don't you go grab a table" Cassie told Luna. On her way to the bar Cassie saw the Elder Salvatore, she remembered seeing him the night before fighting with the hybrid. She had been walking home after the whole gym debacle last night and past the hospital to see the eldest Salvatore with the hybrid. Cassie didn't know what it was about and didn't feel like finding out so she just continued on her way home, but now she was a little curious. For the time being though she would leave it alone, she walked up to the bar and quickly told the bartender what she wanted. While she was waiting she could feel eyes on her looking to her left a little she saw Damon staring at her.
"You look a little young to be drinking." Damon said as he kept staring at her.
"No different then Elena and her little group of friends, I see them drinking in here all the time," Cassie said with a little more attitude than probably necessary, "take a picture it'll last longer." she said after a minute of him still staring. He huffed a little laugh and turned back to his drink, the bar tender walked over with her drinks she grabbed them and left to find Luna. Looking around she saw Luna over in a booth in a corner, another blonde sitting at the table with her. Making her way over, she set the drinks on the table sat next to her sister and pushed Luna's over to her. Looking at the girl across the table Cassie recognized her from the gym last night and class this morning,she was Klaus' sister, Rebekah if she wasn't mistaken and she never is.
"Cassiopeia Leda Black at your service, pleasure to meet you." She introduced formally but with a small smile, "and this is my sister Luna Pandora Lovegood." She wasn't afraid of the girl in front of her, if anything she felt a connection. Almost felt like family, but she pushed it to the back of her mind not really concerned with it at the moment.
"Rebekah Mikaelson, pleasure I'm sure." She returned with a small smile as well.
"It is my pleasure, I assure you I've been wanting to meet you." Cassie said as Luna nodded in agreement.
"Why?" She asked with more than a little caution in her eyes, you didn't last a thousand years and not become a little cautious or paranoid in her brothers case. Cassie contemplated telling her the truth, once again she felt that connection, she could feel her and Luna would become really close with Rebekah. But for now she would err on the side of caution and tell her some and once she got to know her more they could then see if they should tell her the whole truth.
"First, we are aware of the supernatural. We being my entire family, Luna here and my three brothers, two of whom are here in Mystic Falls and are either at home or out doing who knows what. Second I really wanted to meet you because I was at the school last night, just to see what this whole senior prank night was. And I saw everything that happened last night and when I say everything, I mean everything. From Klaus in the gym to you in the classroom, and you were entertaining." Cassie explained to her quitely, aware of Damon still being at the bar and trying to listen in.
"So you know who and what I am, and you still wanted to befriend me?" Rebekah asked hesitantly.
"Of course, and maybe we should continue this at our house." Cassie said when she realized Damon had gotten up and was about to make his way over to their table. Throwing down a fifty dollar bill she threw back her drink and Luna's as well when she pushed it back toward he sister. Grabbing her bag and lunas hand she led them outside the bar quickly and to her car. "Did you drive here?" Luna asked her softly, Rebekah shook her head no and Luna let her get the passenger seat and hopped in the back. It took a total of about 30 minutes to get to the house but felt like some much less. They spent the whole time talking about little things and planning to hang out. They had a sleepover and a shopping planned for the next weekend. Rebekah was excited she had never had girlfriends before, and she was loving it, Cassie was snarky but funny and Luna was a sweet girl.
Pulling into the driveway Cassie kept going and pulled into the garage and parked next to an expensive red Ferrari, which was actually Luna's car she had a thing for red and blue, and obviously purple because red and blue make purple.
