We all kinda just stood there wide eyed for a second, wondering who in the flippity fuck it could be. Until we heard a second knock.
"Well somebody open the god damn door." I say as I unbutton my denim jumpsuit so that I can tape the GoPro to my chest. Finally Stefan made his way to the door and to my pleasant surprise it was Matty Blue Blue.
"Guys, there is major trouble at the school we have to go help." Matt said before he got a good glance at what was happening and stopped in his tracks. Caroline had already begun to help me tape the GoPro on.
"Does anyone have a SnapBack so that I can tape the second GoPro on for a back visual. Also Bonnie switch shoes with me." I tell her.
"Don't tell me this is for aesthetic purposes." Bonnie sighs while taking her off shoes. I couldn't help but suck my teeth.
"No, girl I need to be able to run for my life when these fuckers come after me." I say blinking rapidly, like is she serious? Aesthetically speaking I chose the right shoe.
"What's happening here?" Matt asks as he was about to step foot into the house.
"DO NOT STEP FOOT IN THIS HOUSE." I screamed as politely as possible and boy was I satisfied to find his foot go right back outside.
"He's human. He can come in." Damon sighs at me.
"We don't know that for sure. And I'm not about to lose another member of my team." I swear, last time I checked I was running this operation.
"Team?" Matt asks clearly confused and I mean I get it, he walks into the Salvatore Mansion and here I am half naked strapping a camera to my chest while everyone else was running around and Damon drinks whiskey, its a bit confusing or actually its just another day at the Salvatores.
"Yeah. Me and you, buddy. Gonna save the day! Save the kids at the school. Unless you're not up for that. But, like, please be up for that." I beg this poor boy, cause he all I got left. Caroline just finished taping me in, and I hope everyone got one last good look at my bra because this shit was cute as fuck! Bonnie was tying my shoelaces when Stefan walked up to me and handed me a grey SnapBack.
"Really, you?" Stefan wearing SnapBacks got me dreaming on some other shit. Caroline took the hat out of my hand and began to tape the camera in she knew I had suddenly become distracted.
"On occasion."He smirks. Zammmnnnnn you telling me, my boy walking around in a SnapBack and a v-neck is canon! Imma need a glass of water.
"I'm up for it." Matt finally says and I realized he had been mulling it over.
"Bless!" I smile as I unbutton the last button so that I could leave ample room for the camera to see.
"So what's the plan?" He asks and his body looked like it just morphed itself into a ready position. I take the SnapBack and slide it on my head, surprised it fit my big ass head. And Bonnie gave me her phone, so I began walking towards the door.
"Well first things first, we need to steal an ambulance." I smile as I go to shut the door behind me.
"Oh one last thing, can everyone please make sure Bonnie does not kill herself." Then, I shut the door and Matt kinda just stood there a bit taken aback. But then caught up to me as we jumped in his truck.
"So first things first. How are you doing?" I need hopes to be high if things are gonna work out for any of us. Matty Blue Blue just look at me like I done slapped him in the face.
"What?" He looked at me like I hadn't asked him a simple question.
"I said, how are you doing?" Honestly you woulda thought no one in his life had asked him that question.
"I'm, I'm fine. Why.. do you care?" He knew that question was far more odd than the one I just asked him.
"You know it might sound crazy but I like to know where people's head are at, before they do something that, might, I don't know, put their life in danger." Once again he met me with a look that said I was playing him but I ain't have time for this.
"Instead of contemplating why someone cares about you how about you hit that gas pedal because we do still have a time frame. And I have no idea how we are going to rob an ambulance." Finally he finna closed his mouth and hit the gas.
We got to the hospital in record time, my boy has clearly seen all the Fast & Furious films.
"So what's the plan?" He asks looking at me.
"Why you asking me for?" Like do I look competent.
"You're in charge."
"Oh, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup. I did agree to that, somewhere along the line for some inexplicable reason." Why was I doing this again?
"So THE PLAN?" His eyes are desperate and so are mine, as I start searching my big ass head for answers. My eye catches the two people having a conversation, closing up shop on one of the ambulance vans.
"Ummm... we gonna charm them." Yes that works in movies all the times and this is a CW show so yes, that is the plan.
"What?"
"We. Are. Going. To. Charm. Them. Like we good looking, how hard could it be?" Yeah how hard could it be? I mean I've never flirted a day in my life but today could be the goddamn day!
"This is ridiculous."
"Look I don't need negativity. I need positivity! Thats the only way this gonna work. So pretend my ass is Tinkerbell and believe in me. Alright?" Boy, just look at me with his mouth open for a minute.
"Okay." He sounding real skeptical, which is a bit rude since I don't see him with no million dollar ideas.
"Thank you. Now I'm gonna holla at the girl and you take the man." I say jumping out the truck.
"Why not vice versa?" Matt asks closing the door, like why he keep on questioning me.
"Because it's the 21st century. Also, homegirls a butch with a mean man spread, and Twink homeboy keeps on throwing his neck out laughing. But the facial expressions is all shade. They are clearly having a Kiki. So we will infiltrate the Kiki."
"You know what? I'm just gonna follow your lead, because I don't know any of the words you just said." I just shake my head at him, like its the 21st century be more progressive Matt but he do live here in the middle of nowhere in a tiny bubble. I start my stroll towards the Kiki, you know nice and suave. Matt beside me and then I start laughing hysterically but not like my real hyena laugh, my dumb ingenue laugh and I glare at Matt to play along and then I do my hair flip, just like in the movies. And thank god my hair was not stiff so I pulled it off. Finally Matt plays along, and then I hear it.
"Bitch! I love your outfit!"Boom. Twink certified. And he was super cute. So Matt better be secure enough in his masculinity not to flake on me right now.
"Stop it!" I say playing humble we all know I look great. Homegirl, especially! She out here giving me the eyes or maybe she just had something in her eye.
"Not uh. Gurl you looking like Storm." He gets me. He really gets me.
"Oh my god really I love her! I was worried its a bit much. But then again I was thinking maybe I should have went with pink hair." I lean up next to the van and twirl my hair.
"No, you look great." Finally homegirl says something and smiles. I smile right back at her. But she got distracted by her watch. I guess I was wrong, maybe she's not a lesbian. Maybe I was just being a sterotyping ass hoe. I look at Matt with eyes that scream abort mission, cause my gaydar was wrong.
"Speaking of hair, where you get yours? I'm trying to find some quality hair for my shows."
"Oh you do drag?!" The man stopped dead still and looked at me with stone cold eyes, while homegirl rolled her eyes.
"Honey, do I drag. I'm the best queen in Virginia." He puffed his chest out and relaxed his shoulders and honestly I could totally believe it.
"Great, now you got him started. Gavin stay focused, I need to be out of here, pronto. " Says the woman who was still more focused on cleaning out the van then on me. She was working quick too while her partner did nothing.
"Oh shut up, Jess."
"I love DRAG!" I hear someone scream awkwardly from beside me, cause I know it can't be Matt. But lord behold, it was Matt and there he stood looking all types of flustered and I could not believe my eyes when Matt put his hand on Gavin's shoulder, he was giving him sexy eyes. I didn't Matty blue Blue did that.
"Oh you do?" The man inches closer to him.
"Yes, we both do!" I know Matty Blue Blue about to drown in a convo he know nothing about, so I need to rap this up.
"Well then you should check me out, Thursday night." He pulls out a flier in record time and hands it to Matt.
"We definitely will!" Matt exclaims with a little too much enthusiasm. I mean I'm proud of him but he could calm down a bit.
"Oh wait, that's this Thursday. Damn, we can't they got us working the late shift this whole week." I say with my sad eyes.
"Wait, you guys work here?" Jess asks.
"Yeah, we're the... new hires." Matt coming in for the win!
"I didn't know we were hiring?" The man says a little disbelieving.
"Yeah..well. With all the freak accidents happening in this city, they were looking for more people on night duty. It seems like they didn't have enough." Wow, if I do say so myself I am a fantastic liar. Because that came straight out of my ass and yet here I was believing myself.
"Oh. Yeah we use to be night duty but we've been here for years and requested to get moved to day shift." Jess told us and you can tell that she's seen some shit.
"Yeah, I mean like we get it. Its pretty traumatizing. But also the economy is pretty terrible and were pretty poor, so we need the money." Yes, Matt coming in with the struggle receipts that's how you get people. Also I forget that income wise that Matt is the only person I can relate too up in here cause he broke af. I mean he may be a straight, white man but he just as poor as me.
"Mood of the century." Gavin responds and it kinda dampens the mood and Jess gets back to work.
"You know if you need to go, Trevor and I could just clean this up for you. Right, Trevor?" I offer, looking back at Matt who looks quite confused. If he don't follow this easily, I'll be heated.
"Yes, Trevor as in me." Matt laughs awkwardly.
"Oh my god! You would do that?" Gavin squeals like he been the one working the whole time.
"Of course." Matt says.
"Are you sure?" Jess asks.
"Yes, you clearly have places to be and we're already here. I mean we might as well." Imma need this girl to stop asking questions to toss me them motherfucking keys.
"Thank you so much!" She didn't even toss those keys, she threw them and was out. She clearly had some very important appointment. Gavin twirled his way out. Matt glanced at me in disbelief, and I gave him my shit eating grin.
"Wait, what were your names again?"
"Trevor!" Matt turned all proud of himself.
"Christiana. Christiana Brooks." I have been waiting my whole life to use my motherfucking alter ego and the day has finally come! bye bitches! I may now die in peace! Just kidding I forget that death is always imminent here and I can't be fucking with that here lol.
"Love you Trev & Christy!" And then he was out of sight. Matt waved until he couldn't see him and then turned to me.
"How?" With the nerdiest smile.
"What I tell you? I'm Tinkerbell all you got to do is believe in me. And I guess my pixie dust worked on you, cause you flew too." I smirk and sashay my way to that ambulance, tossing him the keys. With Matt following, he jumps in the front seat. I enter threw the back and close the back doors.
"Christiana Brooks?" Matt looks at me.
"Yeah. You always gotta have your alter ego at the ready." I say taking my seat.
"Well then I want to be called Trevor... Banks." He smiles turning on the engine. If I'm honest that was a panty dropper move and he knew it.
"Ohh that's hot. Trevor and Christiana about to save the day!" That's cute, like we cute. I ship it!
"Now do this shit got an aux chord because Christiana wanna hear All I Do is Win." That is my jam, that song be gassing me up!
"Wait we haven't won yet." Matt said getting serious. He was right. I was getting carried away. We are on a very serious mission, that we might not even succeed in. In fact when I think about it the pressure is overwhelming. I nod my head, how could I think about jamming at a time like this?
"You right. We'll play it AFTER we save the children."
"Sure." Then the van got filled with silence and anxiety at an obnoxious rate while Matt is whipping through the streets.
"Hey... Catia?" Matt avoids looking at me. He better not ask me, what happens if we don't succeed. I do not want to think about it.
"Yeah." Like I swear, I can't handle that conversation.
"What's drag?"
