"So, we all agree no more moping about life's little failures and no more dabbling in the dark arts of boyfriends past this is a fresh start" Caroline said.

"Couldn't agree more I happen to love fresh starts" Elena said. "Careful you're starting to sound like Katherine" Violet told Elena looking at her suspiciously.

"Um I haven't been mopping or dabbling" Bonnie said as they all took a seat. "No one likes a bragger Bonnie" Caroline told her.

"Hey, do you mind if I share" Bonnie said to the blonde beside her and she knocked her book down. "Great thanks appreciate it" Bonnie said.

"So much for making new friends" Violet said. "You can share with me Bonnie" Violet told Bonnie who smiled at her grateful. "Thanks Vi" Bonnie said.

"Today is the dawning of a new era this is stage one of our metamorphosis into the land of the brave, the free, and the single" Caroline said.

"Violet's not single" Elena said. "Violet's best friends are single which makes her single adjacent so she can be our wingwomen" Caroline said.

"Wingwomen great I rather be staked in the heart" Violet said.

"Come on Vi it'll be fun" Bonnie told her. "Fine" Violet said.

"Whitmore's Annual bitter ball a night to celebrate broken hearts, jilted lovers, and bitter singles" Elena said reading the flyer.

"This is our fresh start" she asked. "No this is our purge, our cleanse this is where we rid ourselves from the baggage better known as our tragic and mortifying first semester" Caroline said and Bonnie noticed the blonde next to her was doing magic.

"I'll drink to that" Elena said. "I'll second that" Violet said and noticed Bonnie out of it along with Caroline and Elena. "Bonnie" Caroline said.

The blonde noticed Bonnie watching her and stopped as Violet nudged Bonnie causing Bonnie to look at Violet, Caroline, and Elena. "Bonnie you in" Caroline asked. "Yeah, yeah that sounds like fun" Bonnie said.

"You think Elenas acting different" Jeremy asked. "I don't think she is I know she is" Violet said.

"Jer I'm not crazy she's just not acting like her" Violet added.

"Maybe she's still not over Damon" Jeremy said. "Or maybe something else is going on" Violet said. "Vi" Jeremy said.

"I gotta go" Violet said and gave Jeremy a kiss on the cheek and left as Jeremy sighed.

"Good you're back" Elena said once she saw Caroline and Violet.

"We do share this form we are bound to come back sometime" Violet said. "I need your help diamond or dangler" Elena said showing the earrings.

"Since when does Elena Gilbert accessorize" Caroline asked.

"Since she's being conned to go to the bitter ball with her best friend Susie sunshine and baby witch Salvatore" Elena said.

"Since when do you nickname us with those pacific nicknames" Violet asked suspicious.

"Look you're not fooling anyone I know that you're faking it" Caroline told Elena. "Faking um what" Elena said.

"Please it is so obvious i appreciate it I do but you know im on edge because of the whole Tyler-Klaus thing so you are pretending that breaking up with Damon was no big deal" Caroline said.

"Caroline Forbes how do you always see right through me" Elena said. "It's Care she's good at this" Violet said.

"Look Elena you don't have to pretend with me and if you don't want to go tonight it's all good, I can be bitter part of one" Caroline said then Elena's phone rang.

"Do you think Stefan would want to come" Elena asked.

"So now you want Stefan after breaking up with my dad that doesn't sound like you" Violet sped and Elena ignored her as she answered her phone.

"Hey, I was heh just about to call you" Elena said on the phone to Stefan.

"Hey, listen I need to talk to you, but I don't want to do it over the phone" Stefan said. "What's wrong" Elena asked.

"Let's just say it involves Enzo" Stefan said. "Oh, Enzo uh okay then maybe we should meet in person actually Caroline's dragging me to this Whitmore thing for lonely hearts I think you should come" Elena said.

"Yeah, no thanks I already did the college thing twice actually" Stefan said. "Please if it's bad then I'll owe you a fun time" Elena said.

"So, we're going to a dance, but we can't show up together because you can't bring a date" Jeremy said. "Told you it was weird" Violet said and Jeremy faced Violet.

"Better idea let's get another hotel room instead" Jeremy said. "As tempting as that is Caroline would kill me" Violet said.

"Vi we're happy can't we just act like it" Jeremy asked.

"I hate it when you're right" Violet said and kissed Jeremy.

"It's like driving past a car crash except you want to look away" Damon said going to Jeremy and Violet as Violet pulled away from Jeremy. "You mind not sucking um daughter's face in front of me" Damon asked Jeremy.

"Dad what are you doing here" Violet asked. "I tutor some kids in calculus you know I like giving back be a good role model" Damon said and Violet gave him a look not believing him.

"Kidding I'm here to kidnap your boyfriend" Damon told Violet. "Dad what's with you" Violet asked but got no answer.

"You're not funny" Jeremy said. "Let's get out of here" Jeremy told Violet and was about to leave but Damon stopped him.

"You're not going anywhere buddy" Damon said. "Dad stop let go of him" Violet said.

"Or what sweetie better idea join me think of all the fun we can have together we'd be unstoppable the heretic daughter and the vampire dad" Damon said before Enzo sped behind her and snapped her neck.

"Kidding again sorry sweetheart can't have you involved" Damon said. "Take her to her dorm I'll watch Jeremy" Damon told Enzo and Enzo picked up Violet and sped off.
