❝COOKIES AND TRUTH WEED TEA❞

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

After a big first day, Tori found her way to Beau and Lucas. The trio stood in the corridor, as Tori was throwing her hair into a ponytail.

"You guys want to go for a run?" Tori asked, as the boys shared a glance before they shrugged. "You literally have vampire speed, T." Luca reminded her. The Mikealson smiled smugly, "Yeah, but I like watching you guys suffer." She said as Beaumont and Lucas both deadpanned her.

"Suffer? I am great at running." Lucas reminded her, as he'd always kept fit, especially for football season. "Not as great as I am, Lulu." Beau insisted, getting in Lucas' face as he teased the boy. "Ugh stop— the testosterone.... It's suffocating." Tori complained, as the siphons both chuckled.

"Luca? Hey!"

The trio spun around, before they faced Landon. Beau and Tori shared a smirk, as Luca's face lit up. "Hey Landon." He finally said.

"Milkshake boy!" Beau greeted, patting Landon on the back as the boy grew embarrassed. "You know... you and Lucas need to go on your own lil millshake date." Victoria suggested to Landon, as he opened his mouth to speak, but the words never came as Beau shrugged, "Or you can go on a date with me, instead."

"You're such a hoe, B." Tori giggled, slapping Beau on the shoulder playfully. Beau said something in response to Tori, as the pair walked away though Lucas and Landon didn't hear it as they were too focused on eachother.

"They're... something." Landon chuckled, as Lucas nodded. "That, they are." He replied, before his lip twitched up into a smirk. "But they're right... how bout' a date sometime?" The Saltzman suggested.

Landon's face flushed before he nodded. "Yeah.. actually, that would be cool. But maybe we should go some place other than the Grill." The Kirby laughed, as the pair only knew eachother from Landon serving Lucas, Tori and Beau at the Grill.

"I mean, sure. But it's Mystic Falls, there's literally nothing else to do." Luca stated as Landon shrugged, "I might have an idea." He said.

Lucas smirked at Landon, before he reluctantly turned away to go after his chaotic friends. Landon watched as Lucas left, his cheeks tinted pink.

Meanwhile outside, Tori and Beau were pestering eachother as they waited for Luca to join them. Tori laughed, her eyes averting away from Beau, as they unintentionally landed on Glen, who was walking by with Val and Jed.

The trio seemed to get along quite well, Glen and Valerie had become fast friends, meanwhile Jed and Val had been flirting all day. Glen and Jed also seemed to have a bit in common too.

Glen and Tori held eye contact for a long moment, before the Forde pulled his gaze away, as he turned to speak to Val and Jed.

Tori watched, noticing how happy he seemed with the pair. She then turned back to Beau, as Lucas finally joined them.

Olivia had never felt so overwhelmed by so much socialising in such a short span of time. Of course, the Auclair was looking forward to meeting new people and she appreciated the warm welcomes despite the rumours that surrounded her... but her social battery was still dying.

After the rumours began, and Liv had snapped, she ended up completely withdrawing back into her shell as people feared her. It was never what she wanted, so she kept her distance.

For that, she wasn't used to socialising anymore.

Myrical was in their new shared dorm, placing some lively potted indoor plants around their room, before she placed a pot with a peace lily on Liv's nightstand, knowing that she loved them.

The Auclair entered the dorm, visibly stressed and overwhelmed after the days events. Myrical noticed it right away, and watched cautiously as Liv made her way to her bed, before flopping back onto it.

"Are you okay, Livvie?" Myrical asked softly, as she approached her roommate. Liv reluctantly sat up, moving aside so that Myrical could sit beside her. "I feel... a bit overwhelmed. After having to talk to so many new people." She admitted, sheepishly.

Myrical smiled weakly at Olivia, understanding the feeling. Though there was a time where Liv had been confident, but she lost her confidence when Rachel began spreading rumours about her.

Riri hoped that Liv would find her confidence again one day, and they she may find confidence for herself.

"I have an idea." Myrical said, crossing her legs as she faced her best friend. Liv crossed her legs too, as she faced Myrical with an expression of curiosity on her face.

Myrical reached out and gently took Liv's hands in her own, before she closed her eyes, and softly began to chant a spell.

Olivia's eyes fluttered shut, and she felt the uneasiness in her chest begin to clear. She opened her eyes, looking at Myrical with surprise.

"It's a calming spell, you looked like you needed it." Myrical said, with a small smile. "Where'd you learn how to do that?" Liv asked, seeming curious.

Myrical let go of  Liv's hands, before she began to explain. "I lived in the woods for some time... and at first it was quite scary." She trailed off, thinking back to the dark nights she spent curled up in a hollowed out tree, that she made home.

"I ended up casting a spell... actually on accident— I had no idea that I was a siphoner. And suddenly, the woods weren't so scary anymore." Riri said, before her lips curved into a smile.

Truthfully, the woods did become her home, and she grew attached to the animals that resided there also.

"You really are one of the coolest people I know." Liv said, with a slight laugh. Myrical smiled brightly, as she laughed also.

Liv then fell back into her bed, feeling a million times better than she had only moments ago. And it was all thanks to Myrical.

Laura and MG sat on the couch in one of the common rooms, as the pair laughed at some awkward thing Laura had blurted out.

Ever since the vampire hangout, Laura and MG found they had clicked and continued to chat while the other vampires had dispersed.

Sitting on the sofa, the pair shared a bowl of sweets, while MG rambled on about some of his favourite comic books. Laura enjoyed reading, but hadn't really read a lot of comic books, so MG was hoping to lend her some.

Niko approached the duo, a smile on their face as they could read that both Laura and MG were happy. They were enjoying eachother's company.. and a new friendship was formed.

"Hey Niko." Laura said, with a smile, as she faced her cousin. "Hey Lulu." Niko responded, as Laura blushed with embarrassment from the nickname.

"Lulu?" MG asked, with a smug smile as he looked to Laura. "That's a cute nickname." He admitted, as Laura only grew more flustered.

She looked to Niko and mumbled, "I hate you." To which he chuckled before joining them on the sofa.

Meanwhile in the Salvatore kitchen, Aphrodite and Hope were baking cookies together. Charlie sat by the counter, trying to sneak himself some raw cookie dough, only to be scolded by the girls.

Hope and Aphrodite had become fast friends, simply because Aphrodite wanted to bake some cookies and the first Salvatore student she saw to ask about the kitchenware, was Hope. And Hope then decided that she wanted to bake, too.

"So, how do you two know eachother?" Aphrodite asked Hope and Charlie, as she faced them now. Hope and Charlie shared a look before Charles answered, "I used to go to school here. This is where Hope and I met." He said, with a smile.

Well, it's wasn't a lie. Except there was more to it.

Before Charles transitioned into a male, he'd shared a dormitory with Hope as a female. They'd become best friends, and when Charlie first came out as transgender, Hope was his biggest supporter, other than Caroline and the triplets of course.

Aphrodite gave the duo a smile, before she turned back to the oven. "Looks like the cookies are nearly done." She said, an eagerness in her voice. Charlie's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Do I smell cookies?" A voice asked, as the trio turned to see Lizzie, entering the kitchen.

"Mhm, you sure do." Aphrodite hummed, before the redhead and blonde locked eyes. Lizzie hadn't noticed Aphrodite before, amongst the other Auclair students, but right now she was genuinely frozen in shock at the redheaded beauty.

Aphrodite smirked, "Take a picture, babe. It'll last longer." She teased, as Lizzie's face flushed. "I... I was not staring!" The Saltzman declared as Aphrodite laughed before she eyed the blonde. "If you're going to continue being so adorable, I'm going to need you to date me, ma'am."

Charlie and Hope tried to hold back giggles as Lizzie's struggled to compose herself.

"Gosh, at least take me out to dinner first." Lizzie smirked now, trying not to turn into a blushing mess. Aphrodite, confident as ever, took a step forward and held out her hand. "Of course. I'm Aphrodite De Martel." She introduced herself.

Lizzie smiled back, "I'm Lizzie. Saltzman." She said, reaching out to shake Aphrodite's hand, though the pair held a gaze, and didn't seem to want to tear their eyes away from one another.

"Dude. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife!" Charlie whispered, as Hope unintentionally let out a loud giggle, catching Lizzie and Aphrodite's attention.

"Shut up, Cookie monster." Hope retorted to Charlie before she went to take the cookies from the oven. Charlie blushed with embarrassment at the nickname.

"Lizzie Saltzman has a heart? That could make tonight's news." Penelope's voice rung, as the ravenette walked into the kitchen, before shooting a flirtatious wink at Aphrodite.

The De Martel frowned at the Park instantly. "There's no need to be fucking rude." She replied snakily, surprising everyone with the sudden temperament.

Lizzie smirked at Penelope, who walked away from the pair. The Saltzman then gave Aphrodite a grateful look, for the mere fact that this girl she'd just met was treating her like a person, unlike most others who treated her as crazy.

Penelope walked past the marble benchtop, reaching out and taking a cookie. She shot Hope a sly smile, before she glanced at Charlie.

"Hi Charlie." She greeted, a coy tone in her voice. Charlie frowned, ignoring her. The ravenette raised an eyebrow, seeming confused by this hostility before she walked away.

"What was that about?" Hope asked Charlie quietly. Charlie munched on a cookie before he said, "I don't wanna talk to her. She treats my siblings like trash."

Aphrodite and Lizzie approached the tabletop, as they each took a cookie. "Wow, I never thought you two would stop gazing into eachother's eyes." Hope said, with a smirk, causing them both to blush.

Meanwhile in Olivia and Myrical's dormitory, the pair had set up their dorm and made it feel quite homely.

Plants were scattered in various places, as the werewolf-witch hybrids decided to share a large bookshelf.

Currently in the beanbag, propped near the bookshelf, sat Valerie who was reading poetry to them from one of the books on the shelf.

Most of it had been poetry about nature and animals, from a book that Liv bought the Benning girl for her sixteenth birthday.

Myrical laid back on her bed, contently listening to Valerie's words.

Meanwhile, Liv was looking through some pictures she had of herself and her friends, as she wanted to hang them on the wall above her bed.

The first one was of herself and Myrical, asleep on the seats of a bus, with a book on Liv's lap as she had been reading a book to the Benning girl. Carice surprisingly took the photo, back when she and Liv were more childhood friends, rather than acquaintances and total opposites.

The next photo was of Liv and Aphrodite, at a theme park, for Liv's fifteenth birthday. Kiara had forgotten her daughter's birthday, and was off recruiting students, which deeply saddened Liv. Of course, Aphie always made sure to remember the ravenette's birthday, and was always the first to wish her a happy birthday.

Upon learning that the older Auclair skipped out on Liv's birthday, Aphie took her adoptive daughter to a theme park, knowing that the werewolf-witch hybrid had always wanted to ride a rollercoaster.

Another photo was of Liv and Amelia, as the Claire-Mikealson was teaching Liv to paint, to the best of her ability. The raventte smiled at the memory, as she thought of how close she and Amelia used to be. They really drifted apart when Liv snapped and Amelia was instead focusing on trying to bring the old Tori back. Unfortunately, they just hadn't been as close again as they once had been.

"These poems are beautiful." Myrical said, sitting up now as she smiled down at Valerie. "Right? I love them!" The Harlowe responded. Liv smiled, placing the photos down now as she paid attention to her two friends.

"Your dorm looks pretty rad." Valerie then commented, as they looked around. "Thank you." Riri smiled back in response, before Liv smiled also. "We were really excited to decorate." She laughed, as they had gone pretty overboard with the greenery, books, tapestries, led lights, pictures... but for them it felt like home.

"Have you done any decorating in your dorm yet?" Liv asked Valerie, as they laughed. "Um. Kind of." They responded, leaving both werewolf-witch hybrids to look intrigued.

"I hung up a dartboard and put a picture of Rachel's face on it." The werewolf admitted casually, as Liv and Myrical both giggled. "Glen doesn't like Rachel either, so we both take turns at throwing darts at her stupid face."

Liv continued to laugh, but was stopped when she got a text message. Her eyes lit up, seeing a message from Aphrodite on her phone that read, "I've saved some chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen for you 💞"

Instantly, the girl got up from her bed. "You going somewhere?" Val asked, raising an eyebrow at the girl. Liv nodded eagerly, "Aphie made cookies. Do you guys want some?"

Valerie shook their head, "I'm good, thank you." They decided. Liv then looked to Riri, who also shook her head, "I'm not hungry." She decided.

"Okay, well. I must go. I'll see you later." Liv waved, before exiting the dorm. Myrical and Valerie just laughed at the Auclair's eagerness, before Val went back to reading poems to Myrical.

Now in the corridor, Liv zipped up her jacket. She turned a corner, completely running into somebody, before falling off her feet.

"Ow." The Auclair mumbled, on the floor. She then looked up, realising that she'd ran right into Josie. "Oh my— I'm so sorry!" Olivia blurted, as Josie rubbed her forehead, where she'd been headbutted by the other girl.

"It's okay." Josie laughed awkwardly, before she held out her hand to help Liv up. "It's just.. my Mum made some cookies and I—"

"I thought your Mum was dead?" Josie blurted, as Liv took the Saltzman's hand. With the reminder, sadness washed over her features, causing Josie to feel guilty.

"I'm sorry— God I don't even know why I said that. Penelope put truth weed in my tea, again." The ravenette rambled on, completely embarrassed. "She wants to find out if I still like her..."

It was in this moment also, that Liv realised she'd referred to Aphrodite as her Mum, something that she'd never done before. Of course, Aphrodite was practically her adoptive mother, and had raised her while Kiara had been neglectful.

"I... don't think we've met." Liv admitted, realising that she and Josie still had eachother's hands. Quickly, they broke apart.

"No we haven't, I'm Josie." The siphon smiled. Liv smiled back at the girl, "I'm Olivia, but you can call me Liv."

"Can I call you mine?" Josie suddenly blurted, before she covered her mouth in shock, "I'm— I'm sorry it's just. Wow, you're beautiful and this truth weed is literally making me say my thoughts allowed. God, this is embarrassing."

The Saltzman was completely flustered, as Liv just laughed, finding this whole ordeal to be incredibly amusing.

Seeing the hybrid smile, Josie realised just how beautiful she was, before she again blurted out her thoughts. "You guys really aren't all monsters."

"What?" Liv snorted, as Josie clenched her fists angrily, "I need to go and yell at my ex girlfriend now, because thanks to her little prank, I literally can not function around a hot girl." She said before realising again, that she'd blurted some honesty.

"Fuck!" She grumbled, as Liv was in a fit of laughter. Josie saw her laughing, and began laughing too, finding it funny as much as it was embarrassing.

The two ravenette's stopped laughing, looking at eachother with expressions of gratitude, and admiration.

This was the beginning of what Olivia expected to be a beautiful love story. What she didn't expect, is that Josie was going to break her heart.
