Chapter 10: Graduation


"Damon its finally here i'm so excited" i squealed as he sat on his bed trying to get his tie straight.

"You can say that again. I'll never have to see that damn school ever again" he said smirking and i rolled my eyes but smiled anyway.

"Why do hate the school so much" i asked grinning.

"Its not that i hate the school in particular. I hate the fact that i have to wake up at 6' o clock in the morning" he said.

"I have to agree" i said smiling, "So what do you wanna do before prom" i said and he grinned and walked towards me with a predatory grace.

"I can think of a lot of wonderful things we could do before prom" he said and i rolled my eyes.

"Um... no Damon were not having sex before prom" i said and he sighed and threw himself back on the bed.

"Why do we have to wait after prom what you wanna be drunk before you have sex with me or something" he pouted and i smiled shaking my head at him.

"Because then it'll be more romantic now stop complaining before i make you until next week" i said and he snapped his mouth shut but still glared.

"Sometimes i cant stand you" he said and i turned towards him and grinned.

"And yet you still love me" i said and he smiled and kissed me slow and deep then pulled away with a grin.

"Che faccio tesoro. Quindi molto" he said and i stared in confusion as his eyes lit up in delight and amusement.

"What did you just say" i said and he grinned and walked away whistling, "Damon what did you say" i called after him and i heard him laugh as he went down the stairs.

"Stupid hot Italian vampire" i hissed under my breath as i made my way do the stairs and into Damon's car.


"Damon seriously what did you say" i said and he just smiled and kept driving to the school and i huffed and fell back into the seat with a pout, "I really hate right now" i said and i heard him stifle a laugh.

"Damon seriously if you don't tell me what you said were not doing it until tomorrow" i said my hands on my hips and i saw him slightly pale but he stood his ground, "Ugh! Well can you at least tell me if it was bad" i said.

"It wasn't bad" he said.

"Well what was it" i said and he didn't answer, "Fine gosh keep your Italian language to yourself then i don't care" i said and stared out the window annoyed as hell.

"Elena" he said and i jumped startled at the abrupt way he called me, "When we graduate and after prom and maybe in a few years or a few months after. If i asked you to marry me what would your answer be" he asked and i looked at him shocked.

After a few minutes of thought and going through every type of thing that could lead me to not wanting to marry Damon i found out. There were none.

"Yes" i said looking at him with a straight face, "I'd say yes" i finished looking away and missing the smile that appeared on his face.

"Ti amo" he said and i huffed in annoyance as he laughed.


"Caroline" i yelled as we rushed at each other squealing in delight.

"Oh my gosh Lena this is so exciting" she yelled.

"I know were finally graduating and prom is gonna rock" i said.

"I know then again i designed it" she said with a smug smile on her face but it wasnt the smug type you'd wanna slap off it was the 'Im so proud of my self smile'.

"PLEASE SENIORS TAKE YOUR SEATS SO WE CAN START DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU SIT JUST FIND A SEAT AND PAY ATTENTION" Principle James called into the mic.

"Me and Damon are going to go sit Care" i said and she nodded as she ran off to her seat.

"Lets go Damon" i called over my shoulder and he nodded and started to walk in front of me searching for a seat in the back.

"Found one" he said grabbing my hand and speed walking over.

"This is so awesome" i said smiling as the students got called off.

"Yup and soon hes gong to say your name and mine and then well be officially done" he said smiling and i grinned.

"Yes we will" i said as he started with the G's.

I cant wait.


"Elena Gilbert" Principal James called and i could hear everyone start clapping as i stood up and smiled at Damon before i made my way up to stage.

"Congratulations Elena" he said after i had reached him and i smiled as we shook hands and i grabbed my diploma and walked over to all the teachers that were waiting to shake my hand.

"Good job Elena" Ms. Smith said as she shook my hand and so on and so forth as i went down the line till i got off the stage and made my way back to Damon.

"Woop woop Elena Gilbert's graduated" he said and i smiled knocking my shoulders into his as i giggled.

"Haha i'm older than you now since i graduated first" i said jokingly and he smiled.

"Hey i'm still 18 and your still 17 for 2 more months" he said grinning and i laughed as i leaned into him.

"Damon Salvatore" Principal James called and i smile as he stood up and walked towards the stage and i couldn't help it. I slapped his butt and he looked at me surprised and then smirked as he walked away and before he turned around i saw the dangerous glint in his eyes.


"That was dirty" Damon said after he sat back down and i smiled and blinked at him innocently and then grinned.

"I know that was the point" i said smirking and he laughed leaning back.

"Your crazy Lena" he said with a light smile and i smiled back snuggling into him as he held me.

"Finally graduated" i whispered and i heard Damon grunt his approval.

Finally.
