I smile. What reasons would constitute a scolding, Ms. Forbes? I ask her and raise an eyebrow. The sexual tension is actually suddenly very noticeable. I'm strangely attracted to her, but at the same time Liz has interest in me, but Liz and I aren't dating so it wouldn't be cheating.

It was very clear that there was sexual tension between the two of us, but I had to remember about Tyler and Klaus. Even though Tyler and I were not dating, nor were Klaus or I, it felt strange to have some more feelings towards someone else. I mean, James was pretty attractive, I just did not know what to do at that moment in time. "Nevervmind."

I notice her shift in flirty behavior to shutting down behavior. I'm guessing you're attached, or maybe missing someone? I say softly. I'm ready to move on from older relationships. It's healthy, but I don't know if she is.

Did I dare tell him of the two hybrids? The one who broke my heart and the one who was trying to win my heart. "Well, lets just say that hybrids are the most difficult people to work with." I knew that sounded like a bit of a joke, so then I laughed a bit and shook my head once more at that moment before taking yet another sip of my water.

I notice the plural, hybrids. Love triangles are always interesting. I chuckle and take a sip of my drink. Boom, shot down. So much for romantic interest. She sends a lot of mixed signals. Flirting, then not flirting, then she tells me about other guys in a flirty tone; almost like she wants me to be jealous.

Hey, I was not tied down at that moment, so what the hell. I might as well flirt with him. Heck, maybe we can be more. "So James, what brought you into little Mystic Falls?" I asked him as I then finished my water and ordered yet another glass of water. There was something about him that was different than the other guys in this town, but I could not pick it out.

I take another sip of my drink. My parents weren't the nicest people. Kicked me out of their house when I was 16 so I came here to live with my grandparents. When I was 17 my grandparents and my parents passed away, so I hid for a couple months until I was 18 and could legally live on my own. I live in a house around here. I haven't left mainly because I don't have a reason to. I chuckle. That is probably way more information that you wanted. What about you? I'm guessing born and raised?

His life was a bit sad, but who's life wasn't. I did show a sad smile to him as I then placed a hand on top of his hand a bit and then rubbed his knuckles to help him relax. "I am sorry about your lost in the family, James. And me? You got that right. I am a founding family so I think that my life is practically stuck here forever. Caroline Beula Forbes." Then I ran a hand through my long, curly, blonde hair a bit as I then sighed and looked back up at the man named James Purser. A smile formed on my lips once more.

I smile softly as she places a hand on mine. Lucky guess. I look down at our hands and back at her. I smile and flip my hand over so it's palm up and her hand rests in mine. I meet her gaze. You're different than anyone I've ever met. You're gorgeous, making you first pick as Prom Queen, but there's more to you than that. It's what's inside you that really stands out. You've been through a lot; seen things that've made you see the world differently. You're wise, smart, kind, caring. You protect your friends with your life. You have true loyalty. That's not a common quality, now a days. You have a big heart and your presence lights up the room. I love that. I say. You're not like other girls. A small smile plays on my lips. I mean everything I just said. Caroline's special.

My eyes widen as he guessed all of that about it. It was as if he knew me way before him and I met officially. As if he was besides me through everything. From me dating Damon Salvatore, Katherine turning me into a vampire, Tyler and Klaus fighting over me, and Elena not being my friend anymore. If a vampire could blush, I would have been blushing like crazy. "James...thank you so much." I whispered. Yes. Caroline Forbes was WHISPERING. This was something odd and strange that I never usually did, but he was causing me to whisper like this.

I smile softly. I've seen her every day for two years. I've watched as she's been hurt, abused, lost friends, gained friends. You learn a lot in an English class, even more in the hallway. I never lie-well not to people I like, anyway. I smile. I mean everything I'm saying. I do.

He liked me? Him and I have never talked tell today. "Why do you like me? I am a noisy bitch according to some people. And I do not know how to help people apparently." My eyes looked down a bit at the new glass of water that was then placed in front of me. "Thank you again for all of the compliments James. Truly, they are making my day better already." I smiled a bit more at him.

A small smile crosses my lips. I know you're nosy, and I have no doubt that you can be a bitch. I can be an ass and distant. We all have our demons. I'm mostly serious, but I was mainly joking about the whole bitchy thing, but I know we can both be that way. I speak in response to her question about me liking her. I'm observant. You've been in at least one of my classes for the past two years. I hear stuff in the hallways, around town. I like what I heard, and I like what I hear now. I take another sip of my drink.

He was surly a man who did not judge someone instantly. A smile spread on my lips a bit more before I took another sip of my water before I then sighed happily. "Thank you James. You truly are one amazing man." I replied towards him once more at that moment.

I raise my eyebrows and shrug my shoulders. I just tend to see through the stereotypes. You may be a cheerleader, but you're no airhead. I chuckle and take a sip of my drink. That's for sure. I shake my head and laugh.
