[ and then a couple hours later, out of the blue: ]

so i was thinking

maybe we should move
not totally because i'm paranoid and don't want your dad like stalking us in our sleep or whatever
but also because my friend silena is still living in the safehouse and she's really good at braiding hair

[tribridfreakshow]

another roommate?

[her initial reaction is NO because she's got some serious intimacy issues but she shoves those on the backburner. at least for the moment.]

are you sure i'm not gonna like freak her out or anything?

[gasping]

she already knows i'm a vampire, so i doubt it
she offered to let me drink her blood like it was some kale superfood smoothie

[tribridfreakshow]

that's good i think?

[it's not like she didn't offer her uncle her blood too but she's definitely not a smoothie. whatever.]

okay, sure. why not?

[gasping]

something about demigods being extra strong or whatever
i told her i packed a cooler but maybe next time

[ surprise, caroline spilled a secret ]

it'll be fun! we can have slumber parties!

[tribridfreakshow]

[oh so this girl isn't human either. that's...easier?]

i've only ever seen them in movies.

[gasping]

i think elena read about a book about them one time
something about aphrodite? honestly i kinda tuned out

[ caroline's a bad listener sometimes. ]

i promise, it'll be great. and with three people we can probably get a really nice apartment somewhere
maybe even with a pool!

[tribridfreakshow]

if i can handle an entire school of kids, i can handle two roommates. i'm not worried

[surely it will be just fine.]

and i do like the sound of a pool.

[gasping]

okay but if we hang out by the pool, you have to at least promise me you will work on your tan at least once
no hiding in your room the whole time

[tribridfreakshow]

obviously! i'm not that bad am i?

[she is absolutely that bad.]

[gasping]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh hello

[ yes ]

[tribridfreakshow]

:|

okay i promise to go out and work on my tan. but i want to swim too. does that count?

[gasping]

i guess swimming can count
but you have to hang out with me too, you can't just do that weird thing where you stick your head under water the whole time so you can't hear anybody talking to you

bonnie used to do that and it freaked me out every time

[tribridfreakshow]

that's weird.

i just want to be able to cool off and not completely fry. i'm not going to like sit at the bottom of the pool or something.

[gasping]

ok, good
because there might be a cute lifeguard but that is so not how you get their attention

[tribridfreakshow]

oookay we're not going there. i'm not going to flirt with the lifeguards.

[gasping]

why NOT
you're totally a hot eligible tribrid bachelorette, hope

[tribridfreakshow]

one, because they're probably natives. two, because i have enough drama in my life right now don't you think?

[gasping]

you don't have any dating drama so no

[ hope there was one point in caroline's new amsterdam life where she was juggling three men, two of whom were vampires way older than her. there is no drama here. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

i have an overprotective father that would probably push anyone i tried to date down the stairs

[gasping]

so we'll distract him? or not tell him?
it's not like you have to broadcast it

[tribridfreakshow]

i'm not going to go out with someone just because i'm bored.

i'm not exactly the easiest person to deal with.

[gasping]

well, yeah, but that's not what i said
you can be available without being gross about it, you know

[tribridfreakshow]

they last guy i tried to let in betrayed me and the entire school that same night

i'm not exactly eager to do that again.

[but fine make her be honest about this.]

[gasping]

if it makes you feel better, tyler kissed me and then sold me out to his werewolf buddies so they could shoot me in a cage

most guys suck
that doesn't mean all of them do
