The next day came upon Mystic Falls, meaning a new school day.
Hope and Natalie were walking down the hall, to go to Alaric's speech.
The auburn haired tribrid heard about what happened the night before, so she didn't ask Natalie questions.
But she needed to know one thing.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Hope asked, genuinely concerned.
Natalie shook her head, and shrugged.
"No. But it's whatever." Natalie assured.
Hope nodded, and stopped.
"You have Raf and I. Always and forever." Hope promised, and kissed her two fingers.
Natalie did the same, and smiled.
"Always and forever." Natalie repeated, and out their fingers together.
Both girls laughed, and continued walking to the grand hall.
But they ran into two people. Twins.
Josie looked at Natalie, and Hope looked at Lizzie.
"Hope and I need to sit, Josette." Natalie sadly said, and walked right by the two.
Natalie and Hope sat down, and Lizzie and Josie looked at the two.
Rafael walked over to Natalie and Hope, pushing past Lizzie and Josie.
Both tribrids smiled at Rafael, as he sat down next to his girlfriend.
"Hey." Rafael whispered, and kissed Natalie.
"Hey." Natalie whispered back.
Lizzie and Josie walked away, and sat down.
Honestly, Josie felt bad for going off on her best friend.
Lizzie just missed Natalie's company, and also her best friend.
Alaric walked up to the podium, and smiled at everyone.
"Given recent events, some students have expressed concern that I am not allowing you to have a say in the decisions that affect your future." Alaric began.
"And I agree. If you are expected to abide by this school's policies, it's only fair that you have a voice in how those rules are made. So, I am forming an honor council." Alaric confessed.
Everyone gasped, and looked at each other.
Rafael looked at Natalie, and grabbed her small hand.
Hope looked over at her sister, and looked at Alaric.
"One vampire, one witch and one werewolf, each elected by their peers. Along with our school counselor Emma, whose vote will represent the younger students." The headmaster continued.
