Salvatore Boarding School (Dining Hall)
[The remaining students at the Salvatore School have gathered in the dining hall for breakfast before class starts. Rafael has just gotten a plate of food and is scanning the room for anyone he can sit next to. He sees Josie, who is in the middle of studying at one of the tables in the center of the room, and immediately walks over to join her. When Josie looks up and sees him, she's initially pleased by the sight of her companion before then frowning in confusion]
JOSIE: You know, the wolves usually eat outside...
"Of course they do," Hayley laughed and the Wolfs nodded in agreement.
[Rafael, who hasn't yet learned about the social hierarchy at his new school and seems to not be concerned about it anyway, simply shrugs and smiles at Josie]
RAFAEL: I'd rather hang with you.
[Josie blushes and looks down at her food before starting to make small talk with Rafael]
Caroline smiled, she looked like she was planning there wedding already, but then remembered her daughter was with Hope in the future.
JOSIE: I didn't see you at the assembly.
RAFAEL: Kind of still figuring my way around this place.
[Josie smiles and nods in understanding as Rafael changes the subject]
RAFAEL: Why didn't you ditch like Landon and go play detective?
[Josie gestures at her school notes in front of her]
JOSIE: We'll, I'm actually working on offensive spells for class. They only teach defensive magic here, but I personally think that the curriculum needs to evolve.
"Well, that's shit!" Malia yelled.
Some looked at her in amusement.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of changes in the future," Nikki smirked.
[Rafael looks bewildered by this statement, which suddenly makes Josie self-conscious]
JOSIE: What?
[Rafael, looking uncomfortable, tries to shrug off his nervousness]
RAFAEL: Oh, nothing.
"You two are so awkward."
[Josie, amused, smiles as she questions him again]
JOSIE: What?
RAFAEL: I'm still trying to wrap my head around this being a normal conversation here...
[Josie, realizing how overwhelmed he must be, once again nods in understanding with a laugh before attempting to get more information about his return]
JOSIE: Got it. So, meaning you're happy to be back?
RAFAEL: I'll be happy when I know that Landon can stay.
"You're still on that?" Elena asked.
"Of course he is, that's his brother. You wouldn't wanna leave your brother would you?" Rebekah snapped.
[Josie smile turns into a concerned expression]
JOSIE: And then what if he can't?
[Before Rafael can respond, a tall werewolf boy named Jed appears behind Josie and immediately orders her out of the way]
JED: Bounce, witch. Rafael and I need to have a little chat.
