Something about Hope

Josie POV

Me and Jed were chilling in the library when she walked in. Hope Mikaelson. The whole school was in awe of her. Hope kept mostly to herself but that didn't help that everyone was captivated by her. I mean I know she is the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson but he was in far away in New Orleans at the minute with his wife Hayley. 

Still people rarely approached her to talk or ask her out. She was something of a mystery and one I was intending on solving. I was too busy staring at Hope I had forgot about my best friend Jed who had come here to help me study.

"Hey, dork. If you could stop drooling for a moment and maybe we can finish our work."

"Sorry, Jed. I just got distracted. I'll try to keep my focus on this. I promise."

Jed took a glance over at the other side of the room were Hope was currently sitting by herself. She was writing in a book and was usually not bothered by anyone else in the room. He looked at me with a knowing smile.

"Well we both know that isn't going to happen with Hope in the room. You have had a crush on her for as long as I can remember. Why don't you just go up and talk to her. You helped me get Alyssa to go out with me. The least I can do is repay the favour and set up Hosie."

"What is Hosie?"

"Josie and Hope combined together. I know. You don't have to thank me. I came up with it for your benefit as well as Hope's."

"I would love to go up to Hope and talk to her but I just can't. I wouldn't even know what I would say to her. Hey Hope, how is it going?"

"That is exactly what you would do. It is a conversation starter at least. Most people in this school are scared to go up to her because they are afraid Klaus will rip their head off. I mean no one wants to get to the meeting the parents part of the relationship with her. You will though. You are the most fearless person I know Josie Saltzman. If anyone can ask Hope out, it's you. I would do it before someone plucks up the courage to do so. Now if you will excuse me I have a hot date with Alyssa. If you could just ask Hope then we could go on double dates."

"Thanks Jed. I will talk to you later."

"See you then Josie."

He walked out the room but not before pointing to Hope and making kissie faces as he left the room. I hated him sometimes but he was still my best friend even if he is a complete doofus. 

Hope had got up and was now heading out the door. She never did stay for long. I guess my chance was ended and I also got up to head back to my room to complete my homework.

Lizzie POV

I was in the woods sitting at one of the trees. I liked to come out here to clear my head. Sometimes all the people got too much. I also loved to just chill and smoke weed where no-one would find me. That's what I was doing now as I puffed a long drag and let it go through my body. This was way better than the pills I was currently taking to make me calm down. 

I was brought out of my thoughts by a rustling behind me. At first I didn't see anyone. Then I turned around when I heard a noise beside me. It was Hope. 

"Hope, what are you doing here?"

"I was on my way deeper into the woods to wolf out when I smelt that lovely smell of weed and wanted some. If you don't mind."

I was going to say no but I was too high to care right now. So I handed it over and Hope took it gladly and put it too her lips and inhaled deeply. It must have been the drugs but my eyes stayed on her lips for a lot longer than necessary. When I looked up at her eyes she was looking at me weirdly.

I had no real control as I leaned forward and my lips collided with hers. I expected her to pull back but she pulled me closer to deepen the kiss and slip her tongue in my mouth. I will probably blame it on the weed later but right now I didn't care right now as I got lost in the kiss and it completely washed over all my other emotions that I was feeling.

I was putting my hand under her shirt when she finally pulled back.

"I have to go wolf out. I will see you around, Lizzie."

Hope got up and handed me the weed. She left in a hurry as I fell back against the trees and tried to catch my breathe. I took another couple of drags and then put the weed out and headed back to school. 

"Hey Lizzie, what is going on?"

"Not now, MG. I have somewhere to be."

I didn't stop until I got back to my room and went in and closed the door behind me. Josie was sitting on the bed doing some work. She seemed surprised to see me and smiled when she did. 

"Hey Lizzie, did you finish your make out session in the woods?"

"What did you say?"

"Did you finish your weed session out in the woods? I know you like to go out there to get away."

"Yeah. It was amazing. I mean good, just good. I am going to have a shower to get her smell of me. I mean the smell of weed. So Dad doesn't smell it."

"Okay.... Yeah, you would need to fix your makeup."

"What do you mean?"

Josie pointed to her lips and motioned to mine.

"Your lipstick is all over the place. Did you smoke a bit too hard this time?"

"Oh right. Must have. I fix it when I get my shower."

I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower while I got undressed. I looked in the mirror and my lipstick looked like I made out with a wall. Even though it wasn't a wall.

It was Hope Mikaelson.

What the fuck have I just done?
