The Miracle Child [Damon Salvatore's Daughter]

Chapter 24

A Few Days before the Ball

Marcel and I was hanging out in my room while we were waiting for Zharia and Hakeem to tell us they're ready. We planned a double date.

"Hey, you didn't tell me you draw. Why did you tell me?" He yells from the bed. I was doing my hair in the bathroom.

I walk in to see him looking at my homework I drew on.
"Yeah, I do draw. My sketchbook is in the drawer next to my bed." I said walking back in the bathroom.

I decided to put my hair up in a messy bun. And walked out the bathroom part of my bathroom to see Marcel staring in the drawer.

"Is everything alright?" I said walking over to him.

"Yeah, your drawings are beautiful." He said closing the drawer and look through my sketchbook.

"I mostly draw when I'm bored or before I go to sleep." I said.

I looked at my phone and I got a text from Zharia saying they're about leave out to the restaurant.

"They're about to leave out." I told Marcel.

I got up and got my jacket and bag. And Marcel put my sketchbook back in the drawer. And we headed off to the restaurant.

The whole ride there was silent. I didn't think of anything of it honestly. Until I remember I put the drawing I got from Klaus in the same drawer as my sketchbook. All I do was hope he didn't see it.

At the Restaurant

"Hey, Zharia." I said giving her a hug.

"Hey"

"Marcel this is Hakeem." I said introducing them.

"And Hakeem this is Marcel." Zharia continues.

They give each other like a bro hand shake and we sat down at the table.

"So, I heard that you organized the Ball, Tiana." Hakeem says starting up some conversation.

"Yup, honestly I didn't think it would be so much fun." I answered

"Now you see why I throw so many parties." Zharia says. And we laughed a bit because she has thrown a few since we started highschool.

"Yeah. Hopefully it's better than the Winter Dance cause that was awful." Hakeem continued.

"What was so bad about it?" I asked.

"Nothing much but it's the same setup every year. I bet our parents had the same decorations as us." Hakeem said beginning to laugh.

"Wow." Marcel snuck in.

"I promise you that it'll be different. I got a little bit of inspiration from out of the standard school dances." I said

"Yeah, you never told me where you got the idea of throwing a ball from." Marcel said looking at me.

For a second I couldn't answer because I didn't know what to say.

"Excuse me, may I take your order." A waitress said.

"Yes, may I have a lemonade please." I said starting it off.

Then everyone else stated what they wanted for a drink.

"So where did you get the inspiration from?" Hakeem asked so innocently not knowing my answer could cause a scene.

"It just came to me. I was looking at my old pictures I drew of Beauty and the Beast." I said

"Yeah, I just found out today you can draw too. Beautiful drawings. Zharia did you know she could draw?" Marcel says turning to her.

I could tell Zharia knew something was up so she just went with it.
"I didn't know you still draw, Tiana." Zharia says.

"Yeah, sometimes. But how about you Hakeem quarter back of our school team." I said trying to get the subject of me.

"Yeah, it's cool and all will the little fame you get but the practices are dreadful." Hakeem says.

Eventually our food gets here and I thought the subject was way passed me. And everything wasn't so werid.

"Tiana, the drawings in your sketchbook of the wolf. How did you come up with that one?" Marcel asks going back to the drawings.

"Oh. Wolves are just beautiful. That's all." I said trying to continue eating.

"I thought you got it from the story Beauty and Beast. Because if I remember the beast looked like a wolf himself. Like he was a werewolf." Marcel says.

I knew where he was going with this but come on.

"He might have been on but I wouldn't know. You'll have to ask the writer of that story. That's most likely died." I said.

I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't I excused myself and went to the bathroom.
I just sat on the sink the whole time trying to get myself together before I make a scene in there. Zharia walks in and stands in front of me.

"What's going on in between you two?" Zharia asks.

Before I answered I turned the sink on, for Marcel to not try to listen in.

"I think he saw the drawing Klaus gave me for my birthday." I said looking down.

"Tiana, you have to tell him or he's going to think something is going on between you and Klaus." Zharia says

"I just don't know how. Okay?" I say looking up at her.
"He hates him for some reason. And if he finds out he'll freak out and not trust that I'm just friends with him. Or not even want me talking to Klaus anymore." I continued

"Tiana, I see you care for both of them but you're going to have to choose. Your boyfriend or Klaus." Zharia says.

"Why can't they just make up and then I wouldn't have to choose." I said.

After we left the bathroom our dinner went smoothly and better than before. Hakeem took Zharia home and Marcel took me home. And that was the night.

I needed to go to bed to get up and do some looking over with the plans for the Ball.

"Tiana."

I turned to see Dad at the bottom of the steps.

"Yes, dad."

"You need to pick which one you want to be with because you can't lie to him any longer." He says

"But I don't know how." I say

"Pick the second one because if you loved the first one there wouldn't be a second."
