Three's a crowd.

"See you around, Hope Mikaelson."

Lizzie POV

I was currently sitting in class. It was a potion class and I was with Josie who was looking over ingredients before setting them aside before we put them in. She had been pretty silent as of late but still going to classes. I don't know how Josie kept her perfect attendance record at all with everything going on. 

"So I think that is everything we need for it. Do you want to start?"

I smiled at Josie and grabbed the first ingredient before handing it to her.

"No. You can Jo. I will do the mixing." 

Josie took it and started breaking it up to be added. I went to check the textbook to see what way it had to be done. Josie was busy working on the ingredients as she made sure they were cut up exactly right and had a look at the clock to see that class was on for another 20 minutes. 

I was having a look around the class kind of in a daydream when I caught someone watching me. It was a girl with green eyes and and long brown hair. They were smiling at me so I thought since I'm trying to be nicer I should smile back so I did. I glanced away and Josie was still putting them in so I began stirring as the potion turned from a shade of blue to emerald green.

The book said that should be happening so I was pleased with the results.

"It seems to be going well." Josie said as she smiled at me.

"I'm glad. I have been having a hard time in history of magic and I needed a good result in this."

I looked up again and the girl was still looking at me. When our eyes connected she smiled at me again. This time with here bright white teeth showing. I looked away and tried to get Josie's attention. 

"Hey Josie. Do you know who that girl is over there?"

Josie looked over but after a brief glance at her the girl went back to checking her book. Josie then looked back at me and shook her head. 

"I don't know her personally but she takes my french class. She came in late but I haven't really had the chance. I don't know why she takes it thought. From the speeches we had to do for our assignment she is already fluent. Might be a transfer from there but she doesn't have an accent."

"That's a bit weird. I wonder where she is from.  I don't remember her from the Salvatore school."

At the mention of that Josie had a sad look on her face. I also felt a pang of hurt as I missed Dad so much. He would have loved this place and he would have been a great teacher. The only good thing I took from it is that he was finally with Jo. The love of his life.

"I don't remember her either. You need to stop goggling at her though. I'm sure Hope wouldn't appreciate it if you are looking at another girl."

I took a shock of offence to that.

"I am not goggling. How dare you say that."

Josie just smiled and we continued with the potion. I tried to avoid looking at the girl but I could still sense that she was looking at me every once and a while. We finished the potion and then the bell rang. We got top marks for it. I picked up my bag while me and Josie headed out of the classroom.

"Josie. Are you up for walking a bit? I was going to go into to town and get something to eat. Care to join?"

"Sorry, Lizzie. I can't. I am meeting up with Jade so we can go see the new art museum that just opened up. I will talk to you later and we can watch a movie or something. Is that okay?"

I nodded and hugged my Sister as she made her way down the hall.

I turned around and nearly walked into the girl from class. She was standing so close with a confident smile on her face.
