3rd Person POV

SADIE: When Landon stumbled into me covered in paint, also getting paint on my hoodie, I knew the day was only going to go down from there...

"I have some news. Many of you, like me, have forgotten that we are hosting this year's Miss Mystic Falls Pageant." Dr Satlzman says in the assembly hall with Lizzie next to him

SADIE: And I was right...

A bunch of students start groaning, Sadie as well

"Trust me, I know." Dr Satlzman says. "But the rotation is set in stone. So, let's take the opportunity to maintain our image as a normal school for the rich and awful. As usual, anything remotely magical, enchanted, vampire, wolf or witch-related must be kept tucked away, hidden, and under lock and key. Now... with your chore assignments."

He hands the floor to Lizzie

"Okay, so we'll split into teams." Lizzie says

SADIE: The day only got worse when Dr Saltzman made us move rats from the basement

"Hey, Hope." Landon says, walking in with rats in cages. "You have any idea where these guys go?"

"Yeah, anywhere but with the birds." Hope says. "The ravens and the finches are fine, but the rats drive the owls crazy."

Landon puts the cages down

"So I've been thinking about why you've been acting so weird." Landon says

"Suddenly everyone's got a psychology degree around here." Hope mutters

"No, I just, I just think you have cold feet." Landon says

"About what?" Hope asks

"Us." Landon says. "You know, we're good. We're finally in a solid relationship based on honesty and openness and... I'm indestructible. You're relatively indestructible. We finally have a long, clear road ahead of us, you know, with no obstacles."

SADIE: And the bad day continued when I saw a familiar face...

Sadie runs into the room and over to Hope and Landon

"We got incoming." Sadie says

"What now?" Hope asks

Roman walks into view

"That." Sadie says, pointing

Hope looks over

Roman waves

Landon looks

"Who is that?" Landon asks

Hope and Sadie share a look

"Um... That is Roman." Hope says. "My ex-boyfriend."

"Oh." Landon says

"Dr. Saltzman's been a little overwhelmed, so, uh, I've been doing a little... recruiting recon for him lately." Roman explains. "But he asked me to come in today and lend a hand."

"Oh, you know Sadie and, uh, this is Landon." Hope says

"Her boyfriend." Landon says. "And a Phoenix. By the way, which is... so cool."

Sadie face palms

"I better go find Dr. Saltzman." Roman says, leaving

"That was a little alpha male of you." Hope says

"I mean, is that the -year-old vampire ex you may have mentioned murdered your mom?" Landon asks

"It is." Hope says. "Though I don't hold him responsible for what happened anymore."
