A/N: Hello Everyone! So this is a new story we've been working on for a while now and we really hope you all enjoy it! This is an AU all human story that will take place mostly in a boarding school in England. We both attend private school here in the states so we'll try to keep it as realistic as possible from experince and research. Also this story is mainly Klaroline but we have a few other couples in mind so let us know any opinions or suggestions! Lastly if your reading OMG or The 100 so sorry for the inactivity we'll be updating normally soon! Enough boreing you now, Hope you like it❤️ (Just reposted to fix spelling errors)
"God Stefan! You're acting like you've never climbed a fence before."
"Sorry if my fence climbing skills aren't up to your standards Care."
"It's fine Stefan, you're doing great!" Elena encouraged him. Bonnie nodded reassuringly.
"No he's not! You're holding us back Stefan!" Caroline whined.
Stefan sighed at his best friend's complaining, something he was very used to by now. He climbed the last few inches uneasily shutting his eyes once he reached the top. He sighed once again before stepping over the tip of the fence and jumping down landing swiftly on his back. He groaned in pain.
"And five years later he makes it!" Caroline said playfully.
Stefan opened his eyes to watch Caroline's wondrous climbing skills. The moment he did he was met with Caroline's 'Emergency backpack' which she'd thrown over the fence before she began her assent. He groaned again and Elena and Bonnie exchanged a look giggling slightly before helping him up.
"It's not rocket scinece Stef" Caroline smiled as she landed gracefully on her feet in front of him. She picked up her backpack wiping off the dirt before looking up at him.
"Isn't rocket science what got us into this mess?"

"Caroline Forbes!" the teacher called out loud enough so said girl finally heard her.
Caroline looked up from her phone and tried to shield it as best as she could even though the teacher had obviously seen it. She had to bite down on her lip hard to reframe from calling her a hag.
"Yes Ms. Koneing?" she said innocently.
The teacher was not impressed as she glared furiously at Caroline, "I called on you to answer my question, but seeing as you were too busy texting I suppose you can't answer it!" the teacher held out her hand expectantly.
Caroline sighed. She thought about correcting her since she was kiking not texting but knew it wouldn't help the situation. She handed over her phone reluctantly.
"Sorry" she managed to get out.
Ms. Koneing snatched the phone from her hands and looked down at it quizically. At first Caroline thought maybe the old fashion teacher had never seen a phone before, but then she realized she forgot to turn it off. While the teacher read her messages Caroline peered over her shoulder trying to catch a glimpse.
Stef: Uh oh Care is busted😱
Lena: She's in big trouble😱
Bon: The teacher already hates her😱
Tdog-Lockwood: lol😂
Stef: It's not lol Tyler!🔪😒
Bon: You're a hag tyler😷
Lena: Like Ms. Konening😷
Stef: True👍
Bon: Accurate👍
Tdog-Lockwood: Can I lol now?😂😂😂
Matt d: Guyz what's a parabola?
Ms. Koneing read these messages and Caroline watched as her expression grew angrier. She contemplated whether or not the teacher knew what a hag was.
"Stefan Salvatore, Bonnie Bennet, and Elena Gilbert! Phones now!" She seethed.
Caroline watched as her friends all exchanged looks, but stood up uneasily bringing their phones to the teacher. As they handed their phones in Caroline glanced over at the group chat again.
Tdog-Lockwood: Haha you're all busted!😂😂😂😂
Tdog-Lockwood: lol lol lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tdog-Lockwood: Can't stop me now can you?😂😂😂😂😂
Tdog-Lockwood: lol😂😂😂😂😂
Ms. Koneing seemed to notice this activity as well. "You too Mr. Tdog-Lockwood!" She said glaring heavily at Tyler.
Caroline laughed slightly along with the rest of the class as Tyler's face turned red. He sighed but stood up and reluctantly put his phone on the teacher's desk, glaring at everyone as he went along. Caroline was glad that at the very least he was caught as well as her and the others.
"I urge the rest of you to actually focus on class, who knows you may learn something." Ms. Koneing stated as she placed the rest of the phones on her desk. Caroline felt as if she was galring at her specifically and sighed wondering how she would get through the rest of this dreadful class.
She leaned her head on her hand and her elbow on her desk, rolling her eyes about the boring rocket science lecture. She saw one last message before her phone went blank.
Matt d: Nevermind I think it's like a circle thing!
Caroline rolled her eyes at Stefan's rocket science comment while Elena and Bonnie both laughed lightly.
"What's the plan again?" Bonnie asked after a while.
"We go into the school, and get our phones, then we go home." Caroline explained simply while beginning to walk towards the school a flashlight in hand.
"Shouldn't our plan be a bit more...thought out?" Elena inquired while her, Stefan, and Bonnie followed after the Blonde.
Caroline sighed and chose to not answer the question. Earlier that day was when Ms. Koneing had stolen away their phones and Caroline refused to wait the whole weekend to get them back. And so she had somehow managed to talk her friends into the crazy mission of getting back their phones.
"Care?" Elena urged.
"Relax Lena! I thought this out plenty." Caroline finally replied as she walked over to the main entrance of the school and pulled out a set of keys.
"How did you even get the keys?" Stefan asked as Caroline fidgeted with the lock.
"The janitor owed me." She explained.
"Why?" Stefan questioned, confused as to how his best friend had managed to earn a favor from the janitor.
"Long story, lets just say this is the least he could do to repay me." She replied with a grin just as she managed to open the door. She slipped the keys back into her pocket and held the door for her friends. "Let's go. Everyone in, I wanna make this quick."
The three of her friends filed into the school and she gently closed the door behind them before finding her way to the front of the pack.
"It's so creepy in here at night." Bonnie commented her voice a low whisper.
Elena nodded in agreement and Stefan said, "I'm pretty sure this is how all the scary movies start."
"Shut up you hag!" Caroline yell-whispered while hitting him on the shoulder playfully.
Bonnie and Elena both giggled while Stefan smiled slightly at his friends' antics.
"Alright, now you guys stand guard, I'm going to go take back what was wrongly stolen from us. If I'm not back in ten, assume the Old Hag got me and is going to feed off of my blood in hopes of becoming younger." Caroline stated dramatically before walking into the classroom that the janitor had thankfully not locked as Caroline had requested. Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie all did as Caroline instructed and stood guard in front of the classroom.
"Do you think the old hag is going to get her?" Stefan stage whispered to the two girls who both giggled in response.
Caroline rolled her eyes hearing the comment just before she gently let the door close.
The classroom looked extremely intimidating at night, but the thought of going the next 60 hours without her phone was much more intimidating. So, she ignored the pounding of her heart as she slowly walked over to Ms. Koneing's desk. She opened the desk drawer that she had heartbreakingly watched her phone be thrown into.
Being one for dramatics, she paused briefly glancing around one last time before grabbing the four phones that she recognized as her own and her friends. She had a quick mental debate on whether or not to take Tyler's phone but before she got the chance to decide she heard the sirens.
"Seriously! You have got to be kidding." She muttered.
A quick glance towards the window proved her suspicions right as she saw blue and red lights flashing across the lawn, their source a police car. She threw the phones into the backpack she had brought before closing the desk drawer and rushing over to the door.
"What do we do!" Stefan asked the minute Caroline stepped out of the class room.
"I don't know! My plan didn't involve getting caught!" She said, her voice revealing her panic.
"I told you we should have thought this through more." Elena commented her face etched with worry.
"Now is not the time to point fingers!" Bonnie said, seemingly calm as ever.
"Thank you, Bonnie." Caroling said, still glaring at Elena for her comment. "Now, I think Stefan should go and distract the cops while the rest of us make a run for it."
"What! In what world does that idea even seem logical? I can't distract cops! They'll arrest me." Stefan argued.
"Come on Stef! Take one for the team!" Caroline pressed although she knew her efforts were useless.
"Care, Stefan shouldn't have to go out there, I'll do it." Elena said with a sigh.
Caroline and Elena may have been friends for a long time, but it was moments like these where Caroline truly wondered if Elena had been transported into Mystic Falls from a Soap Opera. She was pretty sure that no one could be both this dramatic and noble without some hidden intentions.
"It's fine Lena." Caroline assured smiling at her friend, "I have an idea."
"What?" Bonnie questioned glancing towards the direction of the front doors.
"We can go to the second floor bathrooms. They never lock them. We can hide out there until the police are gone. Then we go home and enjoy one amazing phone-filled weekend." She proposed, proud of her idea.
The four began to feel hopeful as they all suggested additional details, and laughed lightly at the fact they would actually get away with this.
Sadly, while they were doing this two police officers, one being Sheriff Forbes, had snuck up behind them, guns in the air and handcuffs just waiting to be used.
"Put your hands in the air!" The officer that stood beside Sheriff Forbes ordered.
All four teens paused their laughter and cringed, but did as they were told. All except Caroline who had always been stubborn.
She quickly turned around, "I know how this seems but we didn't break in and we were only here because that old hag stole our phones and...mom."
She smiled weakly at her mother who sighed at the realization that her daughter had been a part of this. Both officers lowered their guns figuring there was no threat here and exchanged a quick look.
"I thought you were at Elena's house studying for your test on Monday?" Liz stated her focus mostly on her daughter who bit down on her lip nervously.
"Sorry mom." She tried.
"Sorry." All of her friends chorused, nervous expressions laced on each of their faces.
Liz and her partner exchanged another look sighing, "Should we bring them in?" he asked.
Liz paused obviously contemplating this and Caroline turned around and shot her friends a smile. They were definitely going to make it out of this. Her mom would never arrest them.
"I Can't believe my mom actually arrested us!"
Caroline paced the small cell aimlessly while her friends all sat down on the floor looking defeated. Stefan glanced up at Caroline hearing this comment but said nothing. He looked to Elena and Bonnie and they all silently agreed that this turn of events was not surprising.
"You know what, this is probably all a trick! She just wants us to think we're arrested to teach us a lesson!" Caroline concluded with a proud smile.
"We're in a cell Care, I don't know about you but I feel pretty arrested." Stefan argued.
Caroline rolled her eyes at Stefan mouthing, "Watch and learn Hag" before turning to the guard who sat in a desk a few meters away. She smiled sweetly, "Excuse me sir?"
The guard who appeared to be in his late twenties glances over from above his newspaper, "Yes Caroline?"
Considering her mom was Sherif, Caroline was well acquainted with most of the officers here at the station. "Since we're "arrested" and all don't we get a phone call each?" she questioned.
The officer seemed slightly amused by her antics and began to fold up his paper, "I suppose so Ms. Forbes. Would you like your call now?"
Caroline nodded, "Yes please" she replied with a smile.
The officer stood up opening the cell door with a pair of keys strung to his belt. He held the door open eyeing all the teens and putting on a more formal tone, "I assume you all know the drill. One phone call each, one person at a time. Who's up first?"
"Stefan will!" Caroline replied immediately.
Stefan looked up a mixture of surprised and confused. The officer didn't seem to catch this as he nodded to the boy who stood up uneasily, shooting Caroline one last confused look before making his way down the hall towards a pay phone. The officer followed closely behind him, not bothering to close the cell door figuring the girls would not try and escape. Caroline would be lying if she said the thought didn't cross her mind, but she figures Stefan might be mad if they left him behind.
The moment they were out of sight Caroline turned to her two friends, "Alright, so here's the plan! You two call your parents and tell them your staying at my house for a sleepover. Elena, make sure to talk to Jeremy and get him to keep your parents away from the phone for the rest of the night, Bonnie you make sure to emphasize to your Grams she should get to sleep early! That way my mom can't tattle on you two! Then, I'll call my mom do some fake crying and apologizing to get her here and when she comes she'll let us go and we can all go to my house and watch a Gossip Girl marathon enjoying the happy sanctuary of our phones! Any questions?"
Bonnie and Elena remained quiet for a while trying to process this. Caroline's plans had a track record of failing but this one didn't seem to involve anything illegal so after a while they both nodded.
"But what about Stefan? He won't know about the plan?" Elena realized. Caroline shot her a knowing look and when Elena realized what she meant she nodded in understanding.
"Stefan is just buying us some time, Bon you're up next!"
Bonnie nodded and the girls sat there in relative silence anxiously waiting for their turns. They all knew that Mr. Salvatore would as usual be too busy too pick up.
Stefan sighed as he listened to his father's voicemail for the eighth time in a row. By now he was pretty sure that Caroline had only made him do this to embarrass him. They both knew very well his father would be far too busy with work to answer. Stefan really hoped Caroline was right and they weren't actually arrested. If so his father probably wouldn't come to get him until a week from now when he finally realized his son was missing.
"Sorry, I think he's busy." Stefan apologized to the officer who revealed his name as Nate.
Nate nodded in understanding. As far as Stefan could tell he was a good guy, he let Stefan get seven extra calls when he saw his father wasn't picking up. Stefan didn't think he would get an eighth.
"You should probably just let the girls go now." Stefan said simply, already turning to leave.
Nate didn't move from his spot leaning against the wall, "Nobody else you can call?"
Stefan frowned thinking about the question. Aside from his father Stefan didn't have much since his mom had died when he was seven and he didn't have many other relatives. The three girls standing in that cell down the hall were the closest thing he had to family. After a while Stefan sighed in realization.
"Yah there is one other person I guess." Stefan decided motioning to the phone silently asking for permission.
Nate nodded and Stefan struggled to dial a number he hadn't completely memorized. After a while of listening to the dial tone Stefan was sure no one would pick up. Just as this thought crossed his mind he heard a loud groan.
"Whoever this is better have money for me or be extremely hot!"
Stefan heard his brother's groggy voice and was suddenly reminded of the time difference between here and England. He tried not to roll his eyes at Damon's comment before responding.
"Hey Damon. It's me, Stefan." he said unsurely.
There was another long groan followed by silence before Damon replied, "Stephanie who?"
Stefan sighed but wasn't all that surprised, "Not Stephanie, Stefan. Your brother."
"Ohh right, Stefan!" he heard the recognition in his brother's voice, "Why the early morning call little brother? Are you drunk?"
The comment seemed to amuse Damon while Stefan had honestly been trying to decide whether Damon was hung over or not. "No I'm not drunk" he said simply.
Damon laughed, "Suuuure you're not."
"Will you go to sleep you bloody idiot!"
Damon laughed rolling over slightly turning to face his friend sleeping in the bed across from him. The blankets were wrapped tightly around him, covering his head as if to drown out Damon's words. Damon threw a pillow at his unofficial roommate before turning back to the phone, "Sorry about that Nik is sooooo grumpy in the morning."
"I'm going to get a bloody bat and beat you with it then leave your body in a lake where the fishes will eat your desiccating corpse slowly until there's nothing left!"
Stefan was surprised by the angry accented voice yelling at his brother. Damon on the other hand bursts into laughter as if this is the funniest thing in the world
"Maybe I'll call back later." Stefan figured this was not a good time.
Damon was ignoring him, "Nikkkkkkk wake up! Come talk to my little brother!" he drawled.
"Im going to get the bat Damon!"
Damon chuckled standing up from his bed and tossing the covers to the side. He glanced at the clock and saw it was six am. Up at six am on a Saturday. This was why he spent the past decade ignoring his little brother as best as he could. "What do you want anyway kid?" he asked positioning his cell phone between his shoulder and ear while he sat at the desk and opened up his laptop.
Stefan sighed because he most certainly was not a kid, "It's just-" he paused and decided to just say it, "Im sort of in jail."
Damon bursts into laughter which was only muffled when he had to doge a lamp flung at his head. His laughter resumed when the lamp shatter into the wall, missing him by a few inches as was most likely intended. He turned to his best friend grinning, "You're very homicidal in the morning."
Stefan was concerned by the crash, "Is everything okay?"
"Where's that bloody bat!?"
Damon jumped out of his seat the moment Nik stood up from bed, worrying that this was no longer a game. He ran across the room and grabbed some clothes and a towel, "I'm going to shower you have fun Nik!" He thew his cell phone on the bed and dashed out of the room not caring he was only half dressed.
Nik growled annoyed as he slumped back down on the edge of his bed. He glanced at Damon's phone which laid on the bed with Stefan worriedly waiting on the other end. He picked it up and decided to see who had called at such an unholy hour.
"Who on earth is this?"
Stefan was startled and confused by the accented voice answering his brother's phone. He assumed it was the guy yelling at Damon earlier, perhaps a roommate. "Uh Hey, I'm Damon's brother, Stefan. Is he okay?"
"Damon's brother?" Nik was obviously confused and Stefan was unsure how to respond, "Oh right! Sorry mate, he doesn't talk about you much."
This wasn't news to Stefan. He didn't talk about Damon much either, in fact most people thought he was an only child. "Thats okay, what happened to Damon?"
"He ran away like a coward." Nik responded simply, "Why are you calling so early might I ask?"
"Oh sorry about that." Stefan felt uneasy and realized he was probably running out of time on the call, "I'm in a bit of a situation."
"How so?" Nik knew he wouldn't be going back to sleep now so decided to entertain this brother of Damon's who's name he was unaware of.
"I was arrested, long story." Stefan felt weird saying this, he wasn't the rowdy trouble maker type, that had always been Damon. "It's not that big of a deal though, my friend got me in this mess for breaking and entering. She wanted to go on some phone rescue mission. I'm not even sure why I went along with it! She's always getting me into messes like this and now I'm stuck in jail because my dad doesn't care enough to pick up his phone. For some stupid reason I thought I'd call my brother who couldn't care less about me and ask him to just tell my dad I'm okay. It was a dumb idea, sorry for waking you up."
Stefan was not sure where this ramble came from, he supposed the stress of the long night had finally gotten to him. This poor British guy who was thousands of miles away seemed to serve as a relatively good outlet for his annoyance about it all.
The phone was silent for a while and Stefan figured the guy had hung up. He was surprised to hear his voice again. "My brother always gets arrested at late hours. If your dad won't pick you up perhaps get a family friend or such to come get you, you don't actually need it to be a guardian. You're also a minor, if your parents aren't there soon they'll have to find them for you or let you go, at the very least after 24 hours. Don't worry on it too much Mate. Parents suck, your brother's an idiot, and friends make us all do crazy things. Don't let it get you down, I'm sure you'll do well to handle it."
When the line went dead Stefan knew his time was up. He hung up the phone and walked back to his cell with Nate wondering how on Earth this complete stranger managed to make him feel so much better.
"How'd it go?"
"Did he answer?"
"What did he say if he did answer?"
"You know the officer is kind of cute."
"Care!"
These were all the comments that Stefan was ambushed with the minute he was left back in the cell.
"Bad, No, Nothing obviously, and Ew Caroline." Stefan said as he returned to his original position, leaning against the wall.
"What! He is!" Caroline replied giggling while looking over at the distracted cop. All three of her friends groaned while she continued to laugh.
"Something humorous about being in jail?" A very familiar voice questioned. All of them looked to the other side of the cell and saw Liz. Standing behind her was Bonnie's Grams and Elena's mother.
All three woman looked fairly disappointed.
"No." Caroline whispered lowly, automatically looking down to her feet as if she were just as disappointed in herself.
"You four have crossed the line this time." Elena's mother said, shaking her head.
"We're so sorry! Honestly I don't even know what got into us." Caroline said while somehow managing to get teary eyed.
Her friends were impressed. Sadly, her mother wasn't.
"Drop the act Caroline. Come on, everyone out." Liz said as she opened the cell door and motioned for them all to exit.
They all sighed relieved that they wouldn't stay in jail.
Little did they know they were about to get the worst life sentence that could be given.
"Boarding school!" Caroline shrieked, shocked by what her mother had just told her.
Caroline could not believe this was happening. Her mom had just informed her that she and her friends were being sent to a boarding school. In London! Halfway around the world! Damon Salvatore, Stefan's older brother, was already there and had been there since the age of eight when his father decided he couldn't handle him anymore. She couldn't help but have the overwhelming thought that her mom could no longer handle her. She bit down on her lip trying not to cry at the thought of only seeing her mom on holidays.
"Yes, you're going to be starting next month. Your friends' parents and I have decided it's the best thing given your recent behavior." Liz said not bothering to look up at her outraged daughter as she was already filing in needed paperwork for the school transitions.
"But mom!" Caroline yelled hearing her voice crack as tears began to fill her eyes.
"The decision is final Caroline. No space for argument." Her mother replied trying to ignore the guilt that she felt. She knew the only way to get Caroline to stop complaining was to be stern and despite the heartbreaking look in her daughter's eyes, this had to be done.
"Mom please don't do this. I promise I won't do anything like this ever again! Please." Caroline begged, tears starting to run down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry honey." Liz said with a sigh before standing up from the table and pulling her daughter into a hug. "This is a fresh start. And at least you'll have your friends with you. This school is exactly what you all need."
Caroline had to resist the urge to melt into her mother's arms. She shoved her away and turned around storming upstairs. She immediately ran into her room and slammed the door shut, calling Stefan.
One. Two. Three. Four.
She mentally counted the number of beeps until she heard her best friend's voice, "Care? Can you believe they're doing this!"
She tried to hide the fact that she was crying as she said, "This is ridiculous! I swear we should just run away or something. Our parents obviously don't care about us anyway."
Stefan sighed and replied, "Sounds like a good idea."
Caroline stayed silent for a moment before whispering, "I'm sorry Stef. This is all my fault."
"Caroline don't say that! We all knew what we were agreeing to and none of us blame you." Stefan said his voice a low soothing tone.
Caroline sighed, "I should never have came up with this stupid plan."
"You didn't know that this would happen Care. Stop blaming yourself."
"But I should have known Stef! God I'm such an idiot! Now we're all being shipped off half way across the world." She complained while wiping at the tears that seemed to be endless.
"Caroline, you're not an idiot. This was a mistake yes, but we all make mistakes. You're only human Caroline, and just like that annoying Christina Perri song that you love says, you're allowed to be flawed. So stop hating on yourself and look at the bright side: We'll never have to see Tdog-Lockwood again."
Caroline was unable to stop herself from smiling, "Have I mentioned what a wreck I would be without you?"
"Once or twice." Stefan said laughing slightly.
"Well I'm saying it again. Stefan Salvatore my life would suck without you." She said as her tears slowly came to an end.
"And don't you ever forget it." He replied, a smile playing on his lips.
Caroline sighed slightly though she was smiling. "I have to start packing I guess. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright, Night Care. Love you." Stefan said.
"Love you too Stef." Caroline smiled as she hung up and placed her phone down on her bedside table. As she looked down at it she couldn't help but grin, realizing that at least she had half succeeded in her mission.
This was just a mere consequence. And anyway like Stefan had said there was a bright side to all of this. And with her Caroline Forbes optimism she planned to find it.
That's all for now! Hope everyone liked it, please let us know what you think in the reviews! Next chapter will start in England and you'll get to see what the dynamics are between Klaus, Damon, and their friends!
