Stand Up Straight - with Harry Styles. (Under construction.)

The Ball. (part I)

There was a light knock at the door. Selena, eyes still half closed and groggy, slowly, but surely, got up to answer it. She opened it to reveal a beautiful blond. "Good morning!" Caroline said merrily. She was already wide awake and dressed for the day. "Do you realize how early it is?" Selena, who was still in her nightgown, asked. "It's 5:30am! I know, it's early. But the ball is tonight and the whole house is up and running. I'm going to asked Jenna if she needs any help preparing for tonight. Would you like to come?" She asked with a big smile while Selena was still staring at her in amazement because she was so energized at 5 o'clock in the morning. "...Would I like to come? Me? Would I lik- does this answer your question?" She asked as she slammed the door close again. "Very rude!" Caroline, outside the door, told her. Caroline was walking back downstairs when she ran into a Mikaelson. "Prince Harry! Good morning." She told him. "Good morning to you too, and I could have sworn I asked to call me Harry. Just harry." He said to her. "Yes. You are right, Harry." She said with a smile.

"Can i talk to you for moment?"

"Sure." She answered.

He extended his arm for her to take, then began to ask her "About your friend Selena...." as they walked downstairs together. Selena emerged from her bedroom early this morning, granted it was two hours later then when Caroline tried to wake her up but hey, this was early for her. "Good morning Ms. Russo." She turned to see Stefan Salvatore walking down the hall. "Lord Salvatore." She said with a grin. She was starting to get use to this 'princess' life. "When you have a moment, I believe my brother Zayn is looking for you." He said as he was walking passed her. She guessed he was headed to Elena's room. "Really?" She asked more to herself than him. She walked down the hall till she found Zayn's room. She went to knock when the door flew open. "Hello Selena. It's nice to see you." Zayn said to her. "Hey, um.. I'm sorry to bother you, Stefan said you were looking for me?" She asked. "Oh! Um.. come in!" He told her as he moved back to let her in. Selena felt a little bit more then uncomfortable in his room, but she stepped in anyway. His room was as big as any other room in the house, but with his room you could tell that it was lived in. That when ever he would visit, this would be his room. There was new things in here, such as new suits and new shoes. And there was old things, such as old kids pajamas and old pictures that a kid would paint. There were even pictures of him, Louis and Harry on his shelf. She wandered over to that picture. "Oh wow. You all were so young here." She said with a giggle because their hair looked horrible in it. Like they intentionally massed in each other heads for the picture. "Oh yeah. That was..a long time ago." Zayn said walking over to where she stood. "Hmm...so what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked facing him now. "Well, I wanted to finish the conversation we were having. About the ball?" He reminded her. "Ah yes. The one harry so rudely interrupted yesterday." She said as she rolled her eyes. "Yes. Well, that's Harry for ya. Always rude." He said with a laugh and over exaggerating. "Yeah. But he has his moments too. Like when he asked me to the ball." She said. He looked up when he heard her said this. ".....I'm sorry, he asked you to the ball? The one that's tonight?" He asked. "Hmm? Oh yeah, he came to my room last night and asked me. I found it very sweet of him, but don't tell him I said that. He even brought me a dress." She looked down at the ground, trying to hide a smile. "He came to your room...of course he did." Zayn said to himself. A vampire would have been able to hear him say that, but to humans ears, to Selena, it wasn't audible. "Oh! What was it you wanted to tell me?" Selena asked. ".....just...have fun and Dont forget to relax in the room full of vampires tonight." He told her.

"Well, I was relaxed till you reminded me about the vampires, but thanks anyway." She said to him as she began to make her way out of his room. "Oh! Sorry bout that. See you tonight!"

"Bye Zayn!" She said. He waved her off with a smile but as soon he closed the door that bright smile turned into a chilling frown as his eyes went black with anger. Selena finally made her way downstairs to the kitchen with Jenna and Caroline, Elena was down there with them as well. She was helping put fruit upon the cakes when Rebekah came though. She walked past everyone else and stood right in front of Selena. Selena sighed and slowly turned her head up to face Rebekah. "What? What now?" She asked. "My older brothers didn't tell me I have to like you, but they did tell me I have to be civilized with you. So, if you Dont start with me, I won't have to kill you." She said with a sarcastic smile. "I saved your life when that Oni cutting off your breathing outside and still you want to kill me? Whatever, Rebekah. Sure, I'll play nice, but you have one time to threaten me again and all bets are off." Selena said. She made it a point for Rebekah to see the knife that was still in her hand. Rebekah laughed at the small thing. It was a toy to her. "Fine." Rebekah said. "Aw! This is good! Now we can all be nice to each other and be friends." Caroline told them with a smile. "The only reason I have to be nice to her is because my brothers told me too, I Dont have to be nice to you, bimbo." Rebekah told her as she made her way out of the kitchen. Caroline gasped. "I am not a bimbo!" She said all child-like to Selena. "Don't worry about her. She hates me too." Elena said. "Really? Why do you think that?" Selena asked. "I Dont know....." she said. Jenna turned to stare at her. "What? Okay. Okay. I do know." She finally admitted. "You both know that Stefan and Klaus are best friends. Well, a long time ago Rebekah and Stefan use to um...be friends. The same way he and I are friends." She told them as the whole room went 'ohhh!' "Yeah. So when I came to town he wanted to um..be friends with me. And because he didn't like the idea of being with both, Rebekah and I, he stopped seeing her. He is a gentleman." She ended with a smile. "Right. He is such a gentleman, isn't he married?" Selena stated. "Engaged!" Elena corrected. "Either way, she has a reason she hate you. I have no idea why she hates me. I've done nothing but been nice to her." Caroline said. Just then a young maid by the name of Anna came in. "Ladies, it's almost 2:00pm. It's time to start getting ready for the ball." She told them. As Caroline was feeling bad about Rebekah's dislike for her, a huge smile lit up on her face as she thought about the ball. "There's nothing more left to do here, go get ready!" Jenna said waving them all off. And the girls scattered upstairs. - Later in the evening when the guests were starting to arrival, Harry was upstairs in his room nervously getting ready. Louis was in there with him trying to help... well..not really. "How does this one look?" Harry asked revealing to Louis a suit that any women would swoon over. Louis, who was lying upside down on Harry's bed, said. "You look horrible. She is going to throw up when she sees you."
