✔️The Woods (Stefan Salvatore)

N I N E T E E N - "Isobel"

"So here is the History departments specs for the Founders day float" Alaric Saltzman announced, Eudora sighed, looking over the piece of paper she had just been handed as she sat between Matt and Tyler, suddenly knowing how Switzerland felt... You could almost taste the tension. If she could be sure they wouldn't kill each other, she would go off and help Miss Mystic Falls build their portion of the float. She was unsure about how that parade would go, seeing as she entered the dance with Stefan but was supposed to be with Tyler and Elena entered with Damon but was supposed to be with Stefan. Stefan was apparently standing alongside his girlfriend once more, that coming from the reliable mouth of that girlfriend herself and Tyler had his heart set on going on the float with the history department... Just as a bid to up his grade in that lesson so it would seem Eudora would be alone.

"We're going to be recreating 'The Battle of Willow Creek'" Alaric informed them sounding completely bored by the whole topic but an undertone in his voice and the flitting motion of his eyes suggested he was uncomfortable... Perhaps it was because Eudora was staring so intently at him, her brain still conflicted as only a few days ago they killed Henry the handsome vampire together. "Tyler's been nominated head of the production design"

Eudora was proud of him for this, he had a slight obsession with art but it was his little secret, he didn't want anyone to know that he had a passion other than football and being an asshole. But she knew that this was something he had been dreaming about, he would once draw pictures of Audra and slip them into the girls locker. Thankfully she found it touching rather than bizarre.

"By who?" Tyler wondered and Eudora rolled her eyes, knowing he just wanted to get out of doing extra work.

"By me... I've seem your sketches and they're good" The history teacher informed in his no-nonsense tone and Eudora nodded in respect for it.

"Look, I'm not really into the whole--" he shook his head, gesturing to the sheets in front of him and acting ever the arrogant bastard that Eudora knew he could be.

"Yeah, well, you just pick your team, be creative, and... " Alaric rattled off, not really caring for the excuses the tanned boy made. That was until his gaze caught something- or someone- in the doorway and his jaw tensed slightly, Eudora was the only one who seemed to notice. The blonde girl whipped around and saw his gaze was landed upon none other than Elena Gilbert who was chatting to someone the witch had never had the pleasure of meeting. "And don't screw up" he marched off toward said door, leaving them to fend for themselves. Of course, if drama unfolded, the Allegra daughter could just leave seeing as though she wasn't supposed to be there anyway.

"Great" Tyler mumbled.

"At least you get to boss people around? Your favourite thing in the world" Eudora smirked sarcastically and he rolled his eyes, looking annoyed just being there.

"You wanna help me out with this?" Tyler wondered to his- once- best friend Matt, his voice sounding rather hopeful.

"Not really, no" Matt returned, looking him dead in the eyes in all seriousness. Bored of the tension, Eudora chose to join her actual department and sat beside Bonnie and Caroline at an otherwise empty table. Miss Mystic Falls herself had restricted the size of her design team to only a few trusted individuals.

"Eudora, thanks for finally joining us" Caroline stated snippily and the two cousins exchanged side eye glances with one another, silently reconsidering whether they wanted to spend the remainder of their week in the Blonde cheerleaders company. But, good friends as they were, they relented. "Right, let's reference last year's Miss Mystic float... This is what they did last year." Caroline clapped, typing away eagerly on her little laptop before turning it to them to portray an image of an average looking parade float. It seemed perfect to Eudora, who had actually helped to design it with her sisters, Audra had been adamant on not overdoing it, Caroline didn't seem to have the same concern.
