is a very bad idea, she thought. But Caroline was going on, looking dreamy and
almost romantic as she talked about the good old days. Bonnie didn't have the heart
to tell her that the good old days were as dead as disco.
"But there aren't even four of us anymore. Three doesn't make much of a party,"
she protested feebly when she could get a word in.
"I'm going to invite Sue Carson, too. Meredith gets along with her, doesn't she?"
Bonnie had to admit Meredith did; everyone got along with Sue. But even so,
Caroline had to understand that things couldn't be the way they had been before.
You couldn't just substitute Sue Carson for Elena and say,There , everything is fixed
now.
But how do I explain that to Caroline? Bonnie thought. Suddenly she knew.
"Let's invite Vickie Bennett," she said.
Caroline stared. "Vickie Bennett? You must be joking. Invite that bizarre little drip
who undressed in front of half the school?After everything that happened?"
"Becauseof everything that happened," said Bonnie firmly. "Look, I know she
was never in our crowd. But she's not in with the fast crowd anymore; they don't
want her and she's scared to death of them. She needs friends. We need people.
Let's invite her."
For a moment Caroline looked helplessly frustrated. Bonnie thrust her chin out,
put her hands on her hips, and waited. Finally Caroline sighed.
"All right; you win. I'll invite her. But you have to take care of getting Meredith to
my house Saturday night. And BonnieтАФmakesure she doesn't have any idea what's
going on. I really want this to be a surprise."
"Oh, it will be," Bonnie said grimly. She was unprepared for the sudden light in
Caroline's face or the impulsive warmth of Caroline's hug.
"I'm so glad you're seeing things my way," Caroline said. "And it'll be so good
for us all to be together again."
She doesn't understand a thing, Bonnie realized, dazed, as Caroline walked off.
What do I have to do to explain to her? Sock her?
And then: Oh, God, now I have to tell Meredith.
But by the end of the day she decided that maybe Meredith didn't need to be told.
Caroline wanted Meredith surprised; well, maybe Bonnie should deliver Meredith
surprised.That way at least Meredith wouldn't have to worry about it beforehand.
Yes, Bonnie concluded, it was probably kindest to not tell Meredith anything.
And who knows, she wrote in her journal Friday night.Maybe I'm being too hard
on Caroline. Maybe she's really sorry about all the things she did tous, like trying
to humiliate Elena in front of the whole town and trying to get Stefan put away for
murder. Maybe Caroline's matured since then and learned to think about
somebody besides herself. Maybe we'll actually have a good time at her party .
And maybe aliens will kidnap me before tomorrow afternoon, she thought as she
closed the diary. She could only hope.
The diary was an inexpensive drugstore blank book, with a pattern of tiny flowers
on the cover. She'd only started keeping it since Elena had died, but she'd already
become slightly addicted to it. It was the one place she could say anything she
wanted without people looking shocked and saying, "Bonnie McCullough!" or "Oh,
Bonnie ."
She was still thinking about Elena as she turned off the light and crawled under the
covers.
