chapter six

"You should at least attempt to become her friend, you know," Bonnie comments as we walk down the hallway.

"You've been saying that for the past six years, Bon. Do you see us as friends? Me and Doppelganger? We have nothing in common, and I find her annoying as hell."

Caroline laughs before covering her mouth when Bonnie shot her a glare. "Elena's your friend too, Care. But, lately, you've been avoiding her like the plague. Do you two get into another fight?" Bonnie questions.

I tune their conversation out as I felt a chill run down my spine. Someone was watching me. My eyes scan the hallway before falling upon the apparition of Qetsiyah.

"What the fuck?" She waves, sending me a wink. I grab Bonnies' shoulder. "Bon, tell me you see her!"

Bonnie gives me a look of bewilderment before following my gaze. "There's nothing there, Ororo. Are you and Aunt Annie drinking that weird potion again? The one that had you guys hallucinating?"

I look back at Bonnie, surprised. "You don't see her? She's standing right there?" I pointed at Qetsiyah, who's smirking.

"No one is there, Ororo. Care, please keep her away from any potions for a while." Bonnie shakes her head before walking over to Elena, who was at her locker.

I glare at Qetsiyah, "Uhm, is it a ghost?" Caroline questions as she pulls me over to her locker. "It's my ancestor, Qetsiyah. I have no clue what she's doing here; she's supposed to be on the other side."

I was going straight to the old witch cottage after school.

"Next thing you know, I'll have an original popping up and following me like a lost puppy," I grumbled as Caroline handed me my textbooks.

We followed behind Bonnie and Elena. I know they were having the canon conversation about Matt and Elenas' relationship.

"Oh, wow, who's that?" Caroline questioned, and I follow her gaze to see her eying Stefan. Oh god, I don't want to deal with Caroline chasing after him.

"He's hot."

Admittedly, Stefan wasn't hard on the eyes, but his whole brooding thing was a turnoff.

"He's alright, but the brooding, soulful eyes thing isn't my vibe." I shrug.

"By the way, he's staring at Elena; I'll never have a chance." Caroline shrugs, "Oh well. He's hot, but I have what I want."

"Oh, and what's that?"

Caroline rolls her eyes, "don't act stupid, Ororo."

I knew she was talking about her crush on me, which I avoided touching with a ten-foot pole. I thought she would've gotten over it by now; it appears not. Another thing I've changed about canon. It seems like Caroline isn't interested in anyone but me.

The school day goes by naturally. I take Caroline and Bonnie to the Grill. I know Elena was off to visit her parents' graves while being stalked by Damon through one of his crows. As much as I disliked him, that was a pretty cool power. I wonder if he could shape-shift into one?

I slapped Caroline's hand away as she reached for my fries. She pouted, rolling her eyes.

"Alright, Care, give us the scoop on the new kid," Bonnie comments as she takes a bite out of her burger.

"His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with his uncle up at the old Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's Gemini, and his favorite color is blue." Caroline says before she snatches a handful of fries off my plate. I couldn't do anything because I had my burger clutched in my hands.
