JUICY

ch 8

Walking down the stairs Kayla held her phone reading the text message Zach left for her

'EMERGENCY: I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY, DON'T WAIT FOR STEFAN, HE'S GETTING A PACKAGE SO HE'LL BE LATE'

Kayla frowned at her phone before sending an 'Okay' and continuing down stairs to get her keys and go to Caroline's house. When she opened the front door a black haired man stood with his hand up ready to knock

"Oh! Hi, you must be Kayla" the man grinned

Kayla stared at him in confusion as she started to unlock the pepper spray on her key that was behind the door "How do you know my name?"

The man sighed "You don't remember me? Well you were like 6 last time I saw you"
The teen eyeballed him, waiting for him to continue

"Im Damon. Stefan's older brother. You and I are cousins"
"Right, Damon"
"Oh so you do remember me?"
"Dude if you aren't BSing me, I was six last time I met you. My memories good but not that good..." Kaylas words dragged out as she pause and stepped aside to let Damon inside
"I assume you're the package Stefan's waiting for?"

"Mmhm, sure am"

Kayla squinted at her cousin "Right. Well I'm gonna take off. Stefan's probably out with woodland friends"

Kayla started to turn around to make her way outside when she bumped into Stefan cause her to jump
"God! Stefan are kidding me?"

Stefan stood staring at Damon
"Didn't mean to scare you Kayla"

"You are all so freaking weird gosh. I'm going to pick up Caroline, I'll see you at school"

The teen placed her hand on her forehead as she walked to her car with Damon calling out "Good seeing you Kayla. Let's grab lunch"

Stefan closed the door and sped to grab Damon "What did you say to her?"
Rolling his eyes the oldest Salvatore shrugged his brother off "Relax. All I did was say hi to my baby cousin. You know family bonding"

Stefan shook his head "Damon, please. Why are you here?"
"You already know that answer baby bro but don't worry. Not a single hair on Kayla's head will be hurt"
"You keep saying that-"
"Well take my word for it and stop asking before I change my mind"

Stefan watched his brother grab a glass of bourbon and lie down on the couch before he grabbed his school bag to see Elena

———————————————————

In history class, Kayla sat texting Caroline as Tanner gave his daily lectures when the dragged out speaking paused causing Kayla to glance up and see him looking at Elena and Stefan who were staring at each other

"Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?"

Elena and Stefan drop their gazes when the bell rings and the class disperse.

'HE WAS SOO CUTE.
MIGHT JUST BE MY EYE CANDY 4 THE YEAR<3'

Kayla read her blonde friends text before sighing and responding

'CREEPY OLD DUDE?
NO THANKS. ITS GIVING PREDATOR'

Kayla stood up waving to some other students who stood lingering and making her way down the hall when Jeremy ran up to her
"Kayla hey"

The girl looked over her shoulder before she kept walking
"Wait hold up! I just wanted to apologize"

"I really don't want your apology"
"I know I probably said somethings to you last night that hurt your-"
"Hurt my what? My feelings? No. For your words to have hurt my feelings, I would've had to care about what you said. I am however going to listen to you and leave you alone. Maybe you'll return that same decency"

Kayla turned to walk away when Jeremy caught her arm "Can you just wait a second?"
"Jeremy. I know that you were drunk, but if you being drunk and upset at Vicki is gonna always result in you taking it out on me, I don't want to be your friend"

Kayla pulled her arm back looking behind the Gilbert boy to see Stefan who was eyeballing the two. The girl shook her head and then made eye contact with Jeremy
"Maybe when you get your stuff together we can go back to being just friends...I think im off white boys for a minute anyway"

Jeremy chuckled before nodding "I am sorry though Kayla"
"Don't be. Seek a therapist though, you need it"

The Salvatore girl turned her heel and walked away heading to her next class, bumping into Bonnie when her phone buzzed with a text from Caroline

'HE WAS NOT OLD, LIKE 5 YEARS OLDER THAN US & HAWT'

"Hey Kay. Was that Care?" Bonnie asked as she walked beside Kayla who nodded at the question "Yup, talking about some old man"

"He was not old!" the blonde of the hour comes around a corner joining her two friends
"mhmm" Kayla smiles before turning to Bonnie
"So have you talked to Grams?"

"Yea. She keeps saying it's visions"
Caroline frowned thinking back to the group chat hat texts "I'm confused. Are you psychic or clairvoyant?"

Sighing, the Bennett responds "Technically, Grams says I'm a witch. My ancestors were these really cool Salem witch chicks or something. Grams tried to explain it all, but she was looped on the liquor so I kinda tuned out. Crazy family, yes. Witches? I don't think so"

Kayla nudged her friend with a chuckle

"Yeah, well, feel free to conjure up the name and number of that guy from last night" Caroline mentions causing Kayla to groan
"Again with the predator"

Letting out a breathy laugh Bonnie chimes in "I didn't see him, you did. Why didn't you just talk to him?"
Caroline shrugs "I don't know. I was drunk"

Wrapping her arm around the blonde in a hug, Kayla whispered "It's a sign...you need to go on a cleanse"

Caroline scoffed throwing off the girls arm while Bonnie laughed walking into the classroom

Kayla grinned with sarcastically shocked eyes
"Hey! Maybe I'm psychic"
