❝FOUNDER'S PARTY❞
━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━
Olivia was surprised to find out that the Auclair family was a founding family of Mystic Falls. Currently, the ravenette sat at a table at the Mystic Grill, reading a history book from the Salvatore library, that included an awful lot of detail about the Auclair family.
"Cookies and creme milkshake?" A soft voice asked, as Liv's eyes moved away from her book, and to the waitress that was bringing her the milkshake she had ordered.
The waitress had long black hair, tied back into a ponytail, and piercing brown eyes, with some skilled smokey eye makeup. On her name badge read, "Finch."
"Thank you." Liv finally replied, her lip twitching up into a smile. Finch Tarrayo couldn't help but to smile back, finding Olivia's smile to be highly contagious.
Liv reached out to take the glass, accidentally touching Finch's hand as she did. The girls both blushed, before Liv pulled away, placing her milkshake down.
Finch quickly composed herself, trying not to have a literal gay panic before she realised that she recognised the ravenette.
"Hey, don't you usually come by with a redhead girl?" The Tarrayo asked, curiously. Liv nodded, "Yeah, I do." She admitted, as herself and Aphrodite had gone out together at the Grill numerous times.
Liv was going to say to the waitress, that the redheaded girl was her adoptive mother, but that would have blown her mind being Aphrodite is 18. What Finch wouldn't know, is that Aphie was hundreds of years old, keeping the appearance of an eighteen year old.
"She's um... my best friend." Liv smiled, as Finch nodded, not really sure what else to say.
"I'm Liv, by the way." The Auclair said, trying to fill the slightly awkward silence she had created. "I'm Finch." The ravenette replied, before her expression turned into a small smile.
"I have to uh... get back to work but, see you around?" Finch asked, her eyes sparkling. Liv nodded, her cheeks tinted pink. "Yeah... see you later."
With that, the two lesbians who were trying their absolute hardest not to have a gay panic, parted ways as Finch went back to work.
Liv sipped on her milkshake, before she went back to reading from the history book.
"Were you flirting with that waitress?" A voice asked, as Olivia looked up, to see Josie. Liv opened her mouth to answer, but didn't know what to say. Even though they weren't official or anything, Josie seemed jealous.
"I mean.. She's hot." Josie noted, before she sat down across from Liv, and eyed the book. "Ooh, what are you reading?" She asked.
Liv placed the book down on the table so that Josie could see. "A bit of Mystic Falls history... the Auclairs are a founding family." She explained, as Josie nodded.
"Speaking of, the founder's party is tonight." Josie began, "Would you uh... like to be my date?"
Liv smiled, before it faltered. "I um... already have a date." She confessed, as Josie's face fell. "Not in a romantic way— It's Myrical. We promised eachother that if we'd ever go to our first dance-y thing, we'd... be eachother's dates." She said, with a nervous laugh. Josie's expression still looked disappointed.
"Fine. But you gotta save me a dance." Josie declared, putting on a faux smile, before she leant forward and took a sip from Olivia's milkshake.

Aphrodite let out a sigh, as she just couldn't decide on what dress she wanted to wear. She glanced at the three options she'd chosen on her bed, as she grumbled again upon struggling to choose.
"Are you okay?" Laura asked, entering the dorm room now. Aphrodite faced her roommate, with a frown. "I can't decide what to wear." She confessed, as Laura approached her wardrobe and pulled out her own dress to wear to the founder's party.
"How did you make a decision so easily?" Aphrodite groaned dramatically as Laura shrugged. "I only had one option. If you don't buy a lot of clothes, you don't have too many choices which means you don't struggle to make a decision." Laura explained, holding up her dress.
Aphrodite let out another grumble, as Laura laughed, before she dashed off into the bathroom to get changed.
"Do I hear a damsel in distress?" A voice asked, as Aphrodite span around to see Lizzie standing in the doorway.
"Yes. I can't decide what dress to wear." Aphrodite admitted, as Lizzie wandered into the dorm to help her choose. The blonde pushed the door closed behind her, before she reached Aphie's side.
She looked at Aphrodite and her fiery red hair, before she looked back at the three different dress options. "I think the black would look best." She admitted.
"Mhm, you think so?" Aphie asked as Lizzie nodded. "Yeah, your hair will totally stand out too." She added, though before she could finish her sentence, Aphrodite dropped her robe, standing in her undergarments.
"Aphrodite?" Lizzie blurted as her face was flushing red. Aphrodite shot Lizzie a seductive smirk, before she took the black dress from her bed and unzipped it.
"Like what you see?" Aphrodite asked innocently as Lizzie looked the De Martel up and down before she blushed even more. "You're gonna be the death of me, Aphie." She managed to say.
"Can you zip me up?" Aphrodite asked, standing in her dress now. Unable to speak, Lizzie nodded as Aphrodite turned around, her back facing the Saltzman.
Lizzie walked over and zipped the dress up, before Aphrodite turned around to face the blonde. "Thanks." Aphie said, her lips curved into a smile.
Lizzie smiled back, glancing down at Aphrodite's lips before she met her eyes again. With that, the girls found themselves leaning closer towards eachother.
The door to the bathroom swung open, as a nicely dressed Laura stood in the doorway. Her jaw dropped open upon seeing Aphrodite and Lizzie looking as though they were about to kiss.
The Shiratori's cheeks heated up, "Am I... interrupting something?" She blurted, embarrassedly. Aphrodite cleared her throat, as herself and Lizzie moved away from one another.
"No, no. I was just leaving. I've gotta get ready for the party." Lizzie quickly said, going to leave before Aphrodite quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.
Lizzie felt herself grow nervous at Aphie's touch, as she turned around to face her. "Lizzie, do you... wanna be my date to the dance?" Aphrodite asked.
Lizzie seemed shocked by this, but nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I'd love that." She decided.
Laura looked between the pair, her lips curving into a small smirk, as she could see the abundance of chemistry between them.

Tori applied her lipstick, as she walked down the corridor of the Salvatore school. Her heels clicked loudly on the floor, as she walked.
"Tori, you look beautiful." A familiar voice piped up, as Tori instantly recognised it as Glen's.
"Thanks. You look pretty hot in a suit." Victoria confessed, as Glen blushed. "Did you... want something?" The Mikealson asked harshly.
Glen tried not to be taken back by her tone, reminding himself that this wasn't the real Tori. "I... wanted to see if..." Glen trailed off, before he stepped forward and took Tori's hands in his own.
"I wanted to ask if you'd be my date, to the party." The Forde confessed, a hopeful look in his eye.
Tori's lips curved into a faux smile, as she gently pulled her hands away from Glen's. "That's cute Glen, but Tori Mikealson doesn't need a date, she flies solo." She declared.
"I'll save you a dance though." The hybrid said, before she turned down the hallway to see Amelia approaching them.
"Hey, are you ready to go?" Amelia asked, as Victoria nodded. "You look pretty, Mia." Tori said, as Amelia's face lit up.
"Aw, thanks Tori. You look beautiful!" Amelia said, before the Mikealson cousins walked away, leaving the school to head to the party.
Glen watched sadly, longing for Tori. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. The Forde turned to see Valerie, with an empathetic expression.
"I... miss her." He confessed, as Valerie removed their hand from Glen's shoulder. "I'm sure deep down, wherever she locked away her humanity, she misses you too." The Harlowe insisted.

Standing with their arms linked, Carice and Rachel entered the Lockwood mansion, which was now renamed the Diamond mansion.
The Diamond family branched off from the Lockwoods many decades ago, so when the Lockwood family was no longer, a lot of their estate went to the Diamonds.
And didn't Rachel know it.
The vampire bragged about being rich and living in a huge mansion, all the time.... But everyone knew that she hadn't always lived a luxurious lifestyle.
Leanne Diamond and Eliana Bennett stood together in their pristine dresses, greeting people as they walked into the mansion. Their faces lit up upon seeing their daughters.
"Carice, you look beautiful." Leanne said with a smile. "Doesn't she always, Mum?" Rachel asked, shooting the Bailey a smile.
But Clary didn't meet Rachel's eye. As much as she was acting friendly towards the blonde, she hadn't forgotten about how she humiliated her infront of everybody only days ago, and there certainly was an absence of an apology.
As the brunette looked away, Tori stepped into view, with Amelia by her side. Clary found her breath hitch in her throat, as she looked at the blonde. She looked absolutely beautiful.
Victoria caught Carice's gaze, and her usual stoic expression melted into a small yet smug smile. It was as though, for a moment, Clary had melted Tori's frozen ice heart.
━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━
"You look absolutely beautiful." Olivia had reminded Myrical, for about the tenth time, as she swung their joined hands together as they walked. A blush crept on Myrical's cheeks, as she smiled shyly at her best friend.
"So do you." Riri added, "Josie will have a gay panic when she sees you." The Benning teased as Liv chuckled, though she couldn't help but to feel as though Josie had given her the cold shoulder a bit since she told her she was going to the ball as Myrical's partner.
"Woah, Rachel's house is huge!" Charlie's voice projected, as himself, Niko and Laura trailed behind Liv and Myrical. "I hear that it wasn't always the Diamonds house, though." Laura stated before Niko replied, "It belonged to the Lockwoods. I read her thoughts about it once."
"Wow... there's really no privacy with you." Charlie said to Niko, who blushed. "Oh no, I swear I'm not always reading minds— I mean I try not to because it's an invasion of privacy." The Shiratori declared as Laura seemed amused over how embarrassed her cousin got.
Reaching the steps of the Diamond mansion, Liv seemed hesitant for a moment. "Are you okay, Livvy?" Myrical asked softly, as the Auclair sighed. "Um... My mother was best friends with Leanne Diamond and Eliana Bennett... And they're just going to spend the night pitying me and... telling me about how great she was. I'm not ready for it."
Charlie, Laura and Niko looked sympathetically at the girls, before Charlie took a step forward. "We'll be here for you, Liv." He said, understanding what it was like to be in her shoes, as he had to deal with the same thing when Stefan died. Except... Stefan was a good person, Kiara was a manipulative cunt.
"Yeah... if you need a break or anything, come to one of us... or Aphrodite, I'm sure, we can come outside and... take your mind off of it." Laura suggested, with a smile.
Liv smiled back, looking between the four. "Thank you guys... that really means a lot." She insisted, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Don't ruin your makeup." Myrical huffed dramatically yet softly, lifting a hand to wipe away a tear from under Olivia's eye before it could roll down her cheek. Liv then glanced at Myrical, with a grateful smile.
The Benning then took Liv's hand in her own again, and the best friends ascended the stairs, followed by the Shiratori's, and Charlie.

AUTHORS NOTE
Myrical and Aphrodite are Liv's platonic soulmates... name more iconic duos, I'll wait ✋🏼
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been struggling to update because I have so much to fit in each chapter and I wanna include enough content for each character but then the chapters become so long and I end up having writers block before I can finish them. 😅
Basically,, I find I'm more motivated when I post shorter chapters... unfortunately that means there might be chapters where an OC is sidelined or perhaps not mentioned at all, but I promise content is coming your way, it may just be in the next chapter instead.
I hope this is okay
