“You cannot be serious.” Caroline’s mouth hung open as she spoke on the phone to one of the students on the decorating committee for prom. “Well tell them that it’s urgent… I don’t care; we need them… yes in that colour!” She hung up the phone and groaned to herself.

                She sighed and put a hand to her forehead as she lay back on the couch. “Why are people always so difficult?!” She asked herself.

Great, now she was back to thinking of freaking Elena and all the reasons why she was being difficult lately. Why couldn’t she just turn her emotions back on? It was really starting to annoy her.

What if she never got her best friend back? God, how selfish was that? She was worried about herself when Elena had just burned down her house with her dead brother inside and all of the memories of their childhood. Good work Caroline.

Sometimes it scared her to think of what she would do when she left school. The one thing that was keeping her sane, well, as sane as she could be, was organising the perfect prom. At least most things were going to plan and she was about to go and try on her dress one last time.

It was perfect, and although Tyler wasn’t going to be there to see it she would still make sure she looked beautiful. She was the former Miss Mystic Falls after all.

She looked out of her window at the sunny afternoon light falling across her front yard. Her fingers fiddled with the ring on her finger and she sighed once more.

At first she had hated being a vampire. She would lose control and she was just a hyper sensitive version of herself, and she didn’t really like that person. It took her a while to adjust, but now she finally felt like she was the woman she wanted to be, even if she was perpetually stuck at the age of seventeen.

At least she would be young forever.

The clock on the wall was getting close to reaching four o’clock and she would have to meet Bonnie soon to try on her dress. Poor Bonnie, she would have to go to prom without Jeremy, she would have to go through everything without Jeremy.

God, what is with this town and everyone dropping dead or becoming some fairy-tale monster? She shook her head and walked out the door, grabbing her keys on the way.

“You look amazing Caroline.” Bonnie smiled as she admired her friend in her stunning prom dress.

“I know,” Caroline grinned as she twirled a little in the mirror.

“I bet Tyler would have said the same thing.” Caroline’s smile dropped and she turned to look at a sympathetic Bonnie.

“Yeah… he would have.” They smiled in that fake smile kind of way, the one that you know only stands to hide everything underneath it. “But I can't afford to think about him anymore. He’s gone and he can't come back.” She turned back to her reflection.

“And whose fault is that?” Bonnie and Caroline turned to see Elena leaning against the wall. “I can't believe you girls would go out shopping for prom without me. It’s just so… childish, to be worrying about something like a silly little dance. You know that they’ll all just be hoping you trip and fall on your big Barbie heels and break your neck. Too bad that that’s only temporary for you now.”

“What do you want Elena?” Caroline asked, folding her arms.

God she could be a pain when she wanted to be.
