Chapter Text
"Is it possible to have peace?" Josie asks, rolling her eyes.The girl with brown hair and chocolate eyes is currently in the Mystical Grill trying to drink her juice in peace.
Which proves impossible if you have a crush on Landon Kirby.
Josie already regrets her choice to have come to drink her drink on the spot, instead of having taken away to go to the park on a quiet bench as usual. "Come on Jo, it's just a date." Insistings the naive boy with slight smoke. As if he knew the brunette was going to accept him eventually. "Sorry Landon, but I don't want to." Josie responds emphasisly with a sad but sympathetic fake smile.
The boy is not mean, he is even very nice, although he is a little pushy and lately he was starting to get a little too arrogant for Josies taste.
"But I only asked for one chance. After the date, if you don't want me, I'll let it go." almost begs the boy with black curly hair and ringed green eyes.
Josie takes the time to think, if she accepts, the boy will finally leave her alone. But could she take it while he talks about the Lords of the Rings throughout their dates, maybe Josie could cut it short by faking a family emergency. But that wouldn't really be nice for Landon. Plus, I'll give him a new excuse to ask for a date again. "Excuse me," Said a soft familiar voice cutting through the thoughts of the girl. Josie sees a beautiful girl next to her table "Is he bothering you?" She asks with a hint of anger.
"No, he was just about to leave."Josie responds with a fake smile and a meaningful look to her pushy classmate.
He rolls his eyes and leaves without words. It is not a backward look to launch a puppy beaten to Director of the girl for whom he has a crush on. Josie didn't see the action because she had turned into her savior.
"I Hope I didn't disturb you." asks the pretty girl, she has gorgeous blue eyes and long auburn hair, moving closer to the witch. as Josie says.
"No, I'm very glad you intervened." Answers the brunette with a big smile. "Why don't some people understand that when it's a no, I'm not going to change my mind in the next two minutes?"
The auburnette responds to a smile. "They're probably dumb, May I sit?" The brunette sounds affirmatively, "my name is Hope Marshall." For some reason it seemed wrong to Josie, she decided to ignore that feeling. "I'm Josie Saltzman." Said the witch with a shy smile, "Are you new to the town?" Josie asked, "Uh. Yeah, but I still don't know if I'm staying or going back home to New Orleans." Hope explains, paying close attention to Josie's reaction. "Oh." Said Josie a little disappointed, they secretly hope that this pretty girl stays in Mystic Falls. "Difficult choice." She offers a sympathetic smile.
"And you, are you from here?" Hope asks with a slight grimace. Josie thinks she is trying to smile.
"Yeah, I've lived most of my life in Mystic Falls. Proudly announces that I am the daughter of Alaric Saltzman."
Josie answered. "Must be neat, I guess you're from the Salvatore School." Hope said, paying attention to her choice of words.
Josie looks at her surprised, but she quickly realizes that she is wearing her Salvatore blazers. "Oh, well you suppose."
"I always do." Replied the Marshall with a smirk and an arrogant tone.
Josie chuckles, then glances at her watch, wincing. "Do you have to go?"
"You suppose though Marshall." Josie smiles. "Hope to see you again in the area."
"Goodbye Jo." Hope says asJosie leaves the facility with a big smile on her face.
When her sister enters their room, she is surprised to see Josie smiling and not depressed or burning things. That's what she's been doing for the past two months.
"Are you okay, Jo?" Lizzie asks unsure of her sister's reaction.
"Yeah ..." Josie responds dreamily as she lies down and starts looking at the ceiling.
"Reassure me dear sister, don't tell me it's the Hobbit that makes you smile like that." lizzie asked.
"No, it's not him ... Today I met a girl and she's super hot." Josie replied, "So much the better." Sighs in relief the blonde, she always found that Josie has horrible tastes to choose her partners, but she also knows that there is no worse than Landon. "It reduces the chances of you and the service chicken being together." Now Lizzie just has to make sure that the girl her sister met isn't a manipulator with plans twisted in her head like one of Josie's ex.
Josie eventually realizes that she would probably never see this girl again and And the chances that Josie pleases Hope are almost zero And that even if she would, their future and fate together will make her run away.
That said desperate the young teenager who dreams of so much love
