Henrik Hadrian Gilbert

VIII

I get woken up by several texts

Aunt Jenna: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU

lil sister: I know your fine but Aunt Jenna is freaking so call, jackass

Jerm: hey, could you call Aunt Jenna dick

paulo pythonissam: my dead ancestor is haunting me

Caroline: Bonnie wont give me back my crystal

gees I go to sleep and the world goes tits up

I jump down and call Aunt Jenna

"where are you" is the first thing she says

"I fell asleep in a tree sorry" I sigh

she scoffs "fine, see you later"

then I go to school, if I hurry I could make it to see who the new history teacher is

I walk in and glance at bonnie

she nods understanding

"good morning everyone. Alrighty." this new dude says, I can tell he's gonna be fun

"Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful, I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family emigrated here in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grandfather I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce 'Alaric' but it's "Alaric' okay? So, you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher" the dude says

everyone looks at me, they all know that I will have a say whether he stays or goes

I stand up "It's nice to meet you Rick, I am Hades Gilbert.....I'm on your chart as Henrik though. I feel like this year is gonna be fun, you will come to know me as the smartass genius. 9 times out of 10 you will grow to hate me" then I sit down

after class I follow Bonnie and Elena around

"Bonnie spill paulo pythonissam" I say

she goes on to tell me how she is being haunted by her very dead ancestor Emily

"well it's probably because of the creepy as necklace your wearing" I point out followed by "what does Gram's say"

"didn't tell her she is gonna tell me to embrace it" bonnie says

"she would be right" I put in

"Jeremy and Henrik Gilbert please report to Mr. Saltzman's classroom" is said over the intercom

I roll my eyes and walk to the classroom

I sit on one of the desk's

Rick turn around and jumps when he sees me

Jerm laughs

"you wanted to see us" I ask

"You know your old teacher had a jackass file? No hoke. It's typed on a label. it has all the troublemakers in it. But really it's just an opus-- to you two." he says

"I already knew, he showed me freshman year" I state with a chuckle

"don't worry about it, I'm not him clean slate. let's talk grades" he says throwing the file in the trash

"um my grades are perfect" I comment

he smiles at me "I know, you can go"

I nod and turn to Jerm "you know where to find me"

I don't know how this happened but I find myself in Bonnie's car with her and Elena discussing Damon and this ghost

she stops the car and throws it In a field
