"No, Damon. I don't want a Bloody Mary." Elizabeth mumbled to Damon. She was at the Mystic Grill with Alaric and Damon, and Damon has been attempting to convince her to drink with him for the last half an hour.

"I thought you were supposed to be the fun one?" He argued back, taking another shot of Bourbon. He had compelled the Bartender give him a tray of different drinks and juices.

"I haven't even had lunch yet. I'm not getting drunk!" She moaned to him, taking out her phone and reading her latest notifications.

Elizabeth's phone had been bombarded with texts from Klaus, asking if she knew where Stefan was.

She found out that Stefan had taken the Hybrids coffins, which contained his daggered family members.

She had ignored his texts seeing as she actually had no clue where Stefan was. He seemed to be on full Revenge mode, so she hasn't really been talking to him recently.

Damon rolled his eyes at her and turned fully to face Alaric, who was ignoring Damon and trying to concentrate on a test papers that were laid out in front of him.

"Come on, Ric. I can't drink all this by myself. I mean, I can, but then, somebody's getting naked." Damon said as he gave a flirtatious look towards the Female Bartender who was serving him drinks.

Elizabeth scoffed at her friends behaviour, and plugged in her earphones into her phone, only putting one of the buds into her ear so she could listen to her drunken friend annoy Ric.

"Oh man, I can't believe you and Eliza are making me drink alone." He continues to moan.

"Then don't drink." Elizabeth mumbled to herself, knowing that he could fully hear her remark with his Vampire hearing.

"I'm busy." Ric stated, still staring at the papers below him.

"It's the Eve of Klausageddon and your doing Homework?"

"This may come as a shock, but I am not here to hang out with you. I'm here to see Jeremy." Alaric told Damon and then glanced up at the clock above them. "Who is an hour late for his work shift."

"Kids today. Where are their values." Damon sighed and looked down as Alaric showed him a marked paper with a large red F printed on to front.

"That's his midterm paper. Copied it straight of the internet. Didn't even try to hide it." Alaric told him.

Damon faked a shocked face and pretended to be disappointed. "Ooh, somebody's going to get grounded."
