The five of them finally arrive at the Salvatore School, where they are immediately greeted by Alaric's daughters and Callie's best friends, Josie and Lizzie, both of whom are wearing their school uniforms and look happy to see them. Callie was quick to speak, "Girls, this is Rafael Waithe." Lizzie smiled, "Welcome to the Salvatore School. We're your tour guides." "I'm Josie." Josie said. "I'm Lizzie. Sisters." Josie looked at Lizzie with an annoyed look, "Twins." Lizzie smiled and giggled, "Fraternal, obvs." Rafael and Landon both looked at the twins confused and apprehensive about what is happening just as Alaric steps in.
"Rafael, Callie, why don't you go ahead with the girls while I talk with Landon?" Alaric told them. The twins lock arms with Rafael and Callie, leading them towards the school. Before they leave, the two sarcastically greet Hope. "Morning Hope." The twins greeted. Hope rolled her eyes before responding in a feigned kind tone of voice. Callie smiled at the girls, "Morning, girls." Hope said. Lizzie leaned in towards Callie, "More like despair." the two girls giggled. "I heard that." Hope told her. Lizzie was quick to say, "No you didn't." "didn't have too." Hope argued back. Alaric groans exasperatedly, "Everyone, behave." "Love you, dad" The twins both said.
The four of them walk away and walk around the campus. "Everybody gets along with everybody here, for the most part." Callie explained as the four of them walked down the hall. "The wolves are pretty cliquey. They like to hang with their own." Lizzie said looking at the wolves. "In defiance of the school's commitment to inclusiveness." Josie told him. "That is why we volunteered to be your tour guides to give you a good witch welcome before your hairier brethren corrupt you." Lizzie stated. They stop when they reach a classroom. Inside, Dorian Williams was subbing the class. "That's our librarian, Dorian Williams. He's subbing for our Chemistry of Magic teacher, who accidentally incinerated himself last week in hellfire." Callie explained laughing a little bit. Rafael smiled at her, "It was great by the way." Callie said. "Burned all the hair off his body, but didn't leave a scar." Lizzie said. All of them pause to listen to the class for a few moments.
"Now, this language has been carefully crafted over centuries. So, you may think you can play fast and loose with the syllables, but you'd be very wrong about that. Because otherwise, a love charm becomes a what?" Dorian looks at the students before calling on a young girl in the back. "Penelope, show us." Dorian told her. Penelope turns in her desk, so that everyone can see her, Callie groans and rolls her eyes out in the hallway. Callie and Penelope never really got along because Penelope broke Josie's heart. "She who shall not be named." Lizzie told Rafael. Josie leaned in closer towards the three, "Talking about her gives her powers." "And then she's the bitch of all evil." Callie interpreted. Rafael looks at the three girls in confusion, "Who are you talking about?" Callie pointed at Penelope, "That's Josie's evil ass ex."
Penelope is over hearing the fours conversation, as she looks back at them for a moment, winking at Josie playfully before holding up her hands to cast the spell. Josie was staring at her angrily, her lip twitching in response to her attempts to rile her up. "Phesmatos is lucas odoray." Penelope said. The spell initially creates a gold orb that hovers in the air above her opened hands, but after a moment, it pops like a bubble and causes a large cloud of smoke to burst out of it. Everyone begins coughing and covering their mouths as a result of a stink bomb. "Its a stink spell." Callie said plugging her nose. "That's right! A stink spell. Yes!" Dorian laughed.
Callie coughs and turns towards Rafael, "I can handle this from here, I'll show you the turret. It's where all the seniors go to smoke." "What do they smoke? Eye of newt?" Rafael chuckled. Callie looked at him, "Weed." Josie and Lizzie go there separate ways from Callie and Rafael.
"You've never told me anything about you." Rafael told her. "Well, I'm an only child, grew up in New Orleans, went to school here my whole life. My dad recreated New Orleans in his imagine after the Mikaelsons fled from it." Callie explained. "What are you?" He asked her. "Hybrid. Grandmothers a witch and my parents are both vampires. Hope and I both got our witch genes from our grandmother. Let's go meet up with Josie and Lizzie." Callie said grabbing Rafael's hand.
Callie and Rafael meet up with the twins at the Ball Field. The witch players conjure rings and use their telekinesis to make them hover in the air while the vampires and werewolves use their superhuman physical attributes to score goals by throwing the ball through their rings. "Whoa, move." One of the players yelled. Half of the crowd watching the match are booing while the other half are cheering. The four walk toward the stands and explain the game to Rafael. "Callie made a broom fly in physics last year, but Rick Rodgers fell thirty feet during practice, so real-life Qudditch remains an exclusive pipe dream. It's called Wickery. My parents invented it when we were ten." Lizzie explained. Josie split up from the group to sit with her friend MG.
"There version is a little less violent then ours." Lizzie explained. Callie looked at Rafael, "I'll see you later." "You leaving already?" He asked her. She nodded, "Yeah, but Lizzie's here she's your company." Callie walked over to MG and Josie, "Hey." "Yo, giving up on the new guy so quickly?" He asked. Callie sat down by them, "It's not a competition, and plus I gotta nurse my girl's wounded soul." She explained putting her arm around Josie's shoulders. "Hmmm... Penelope Park?" MG hummed. Josie smiles, "We don't mention her name anymore, remember?" Callie and MG chuckle, "Sorry."
The trio look over at Lizzie and Rafael, Rafael is watching the game with interest while Lizzie, looking nervous, sits beside him. MG does not seem very happy about the sight of them. "Do you think he'll go for her?" MG asked still looking at them. "Probably. They always do." Josie said. "Yep." Callie agreed. "He's leaving." Callie said quick to rise to her feet to follow after him. "And there she goes." MG joked watching Callie follow Rafael.
"Raf, what happened?" Callie asked catching up to him. "Nothing. Me and Landon will go and leave you alone." Rafael angrily replyed. Callie grabbed his arm to stop him, "What happened?" She asked calmly. He stopped and looked at her in her eyes, "I killed her." He said sadly. Her face fell into a sad expression, "Who?" she asked him sympathetically. "Cassie, my girlfriend." Callie felt her heart break, "How?" she asked him. "Car accident." He started sobbing. Callie hugged him as he hugged her back.
