CHAPTER 1
"Elena why do you never wear your hair down? Do you want to be a monk when you get out of high school?" Katherine the captain of the cheer team said sarcastically which left the whole cafeteria laughing especially the other cheerleaders. Elena knew of many things she could say back to her, but Katherine ruled the school, she could make Elena's life a living hell. Elena could change, but ever since the accident, she just didn't feel like making changes in her life and Katherine had to make it worse.
Elena looked down at her-self; she looked like she always did, braces, glasses, tight bun, ugly sweater, and Pentecostal skirt. When Elena was three and her little sister Bonnie was two and her older brother Jeremy was six, her mom died of a miscarriage, then there was a car accident when she was 8 and Bonnie and her dad died unlike her and Jeremy who survived with minor injuries. She knew she was pretty behind her little act but she didn't want to show it, after what happened last time.
Flashback
"Hey Elena wasss upp"? Damon Salvatore asked her. She was at a party being thrown by the popularities (before Katherine had come to mystic falls), and Damon was now drunk. The house looked horrible, there was a lot of people making out, and beer and cigarettes everywhere. Elena looked awesome, but she didn't know that just next month her dad and little sister would die. At this time she ruled the school she wasn't mean and everyone loved her, why wouldn't they? "Well, letsss see," she said acting more drunk than she really was. "I think I need… someone to go get me another beer". She said flirtiliscious. At that time she realized, after he left to get her another beer he liked her.
End of flashback
Elena hurried away acting like she was goanna cry. Wow, Elena thought Katherine's more pathetic than Elena thought. Katherine never knew that Elena used to rule the school. But, Elena had had enough of watching Katherine think she was actually hurting Elena, by now the whole school had forgotten about the old Elena, and now they were goanna remember at the party for the football team. She wasn't just goody- goody Elena with perfect senior grades.
"Jeremy, I'm home"! Elena yelled as she walked in, she knew he wouldn't be there because three years ago he was kidnapped and never found. Tommy her guard dog came running in, glad to see her. The police had given Tommy to her as a "sorry your whole family died" gift. Elena walked upstairs to her bedroom and into her closet. No one knew she had a great body; she could be a cheerleader if she wanted to. In the back of the closet there was a cord hanging from the ceiling it blended so well you couldn't find it unless you knew where it is.
Elena walked over to the cored and gave it a long pull, all of the sudden a huge staircase came shooting down from the ceiling, Elena walked up the stairs feeling pleased that she had kept everything for this day. Up these stairs was where she kept all her cool popular stuff, like outfits of any trend and makeup. She quickly sat down and removed her slide on fake braces, then took down her tight bun so that her hair waved down her shoulder at high school now it was popular to have really long hair so never having a hair cut didn't make things bad for her. Then Elena got out of her ugly clothes and rummaged through her cool closet for something to wear. Perfect Elena thought, just perfect. Elena had picked out a dress with no straps, it was full red except for the tears that had black sequined fabric in them. It was short and showed of her beautiful legs very well. Well, she thought thirty minutes later, time to go. She always walked to school so no one would see her car, it was like the one called bumblebee on transformers.
After a long drive, with a lot of time to think on her hands Elena decides to just walk in and wing it. As she pulls in to park boys are already whistling because of her car. This is going to be one long night she thought. Right as she got out all jaws dropped whether or not you were a girl or a boy. The boys that she was seriously hot. And the girls were amazed that she could look that good with only lipstick and eye shadow. When Elena walked up the steps everyone cleared a path for her, she felt popular once again. Then came the big moment, walking in, she walked right in. All the sudden everyone stopped and stared. Katherine Peirce walked out of the bathroom and yelled "Why is everyone so quiet and what are you all staring at"? Then she saw me, it was like someone who was a loser has sat next to her or asked her on a date.
"WHO ARE YOU"? she screeched clearly upset. "WHO IS SHE"! She turned around and yelled at anybody who would listen. They all answered that they didn't know, but Damon Salvatore came forward and looked at me like Elena was familiar but he couldn't remember where from. This was my moment Elena thought, I could act like a transfer student and start over or I could say who I was. But before I could say anything, Katherine noticed Damon and said "Ahh, Damon finally coming to ask me to dance"? Then Damon said "Actually I was coming to ask this pretty woman here to dance with me". "Of course ill dance with you Damon I would love t- WAIT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU WANTED TO DANCE WITH HER"! She yelled pointing at Elena. "Yes" Damon said calmly "let's go get you a drink than you can tell me who you are while we dance.
ELENA'S POV
OMG Elena thought. He wants to dance with me. With me! "So do I know you from somewhere," Damon asked wiggling his eyebrows. "Actually, we have met at a party before, a long time ago." I replied trying to keep it cool. "Well what is your name than stranger"? Damon asked wanting this woman to be his girl friend. "Can you keep a secret," I asked Damon. "Yes" he said. "Well who was the ruler of the school, 2 years ago? I asked. "Elena Gilbert" he replied. "Where is she now" I asked. "In England" he replied very certain. "Actually, Elena Gilbert is still at high school she see's you every day but you don't notice her." "Why don't I, she's hot. "Who is the geekiest person in the school"? I asked him. "I don't know her name but she wears glasses, braces, and her hair in a tight bun, ugly clothes well you get the point". He said. "Her name is Elena Gilbert." I replied anxious to see how he reacts.
"And my name is Elena Gilbert, I never was a geek, I just got tired of popularity." I said. "don't tell anyone okay"? I asked "Whatever" he said.
