Elena's POV
Today is the day. The day I'm gonna see all my old friends again. The day I'll see my teachers. The day I'll see Damn Salvatore again. I couldn't be more scared. I haven't seen these people over a decade and they could still hate me. But I'll never know if I don't go right?
I'm in my bathroom getting everything out and ready while calling Rose. She does my make-up amazingly and I need her.
"Rose, could you come over and help me with my make-up? You know I suck at putting it on." I say into the phone.
"Yeah. I'll be there in a few."
"Ok thanks! Bye." I hang up and start putting on my dress. I slowly put it on and as I finish, I stare at myself. I still can't believe how beautiful this dress is. Now, in highschool I would've said no to a dress in general cause I didn't like dresses as much as I do now. But now as an adult, I completely love it.
I start curling my hair. I usually don't really curl it but it's a school reunion. You have to give it your all. People are always competing against each other but just don't know it.
I'm almost done with curling half of my hair when I hear a knock on my door. "Come on in!" I yell from upstairs. It's Rose. Well I'm guessing it's her.
I hear I knock on my bathroom door and I open it. I see Rose standing with her make-up box in her hand. "Thank you so much for coming." I say to her. She nods, "Yeah no problem. This is what friends are for." She places her box on the bathroom counter and takes out some blush first.
I continue to finish curling my hair while Rose is doing my make-up. It'll go faster like this.
"Are you nervous?" Rose asks me. "Extremely." I say as I curl the final piece of hair. "I'm scared I'll make a fool out of myself. But it is highschool. And people get embarrassed all the time." Rose rolls her eyes, "Don't worry. You'll be fine. Maybe even if you're lucky, you'll be able to take a hot guy home." I smile and laugh. "Yeah maybe."

I feel like throwing up. I'm literally about to run out of the gym door and just run back home to my bed. Rose and me finished getting ready like an hour ago and decided to come early. Everything was going well until I spotted my friends.
I have a feeling they still hate me. "Hey, are you ok?" Rose asks me. I shake my head. "No. I just spotted my old friends." I point them out discreetly and Rose nods. "Are you scared to go say hi or something?" I nod. "Yup." I see Rose get up and take my hand. "What are you doing?" I ask as she drags me away from the table. "You'll see." She says.
I see us getting closer to where all my old friends are at. "Rose no!" I say as I try to take my hand back. I know what she's doing. She's gonna force me to talk to them. But I'm not ready. "Come on Elena. It's been more than a decade since you've talked to any of them." I nod. "I know Rose but I'm not ready." I finally free my hand and start walking back to my table. But unfortunately I collide with a rock hard chest.
"I'm so sor-" My words completely got sucked out of my chest.
"Elena." There's only one man in this world who says my name so seductively. And that man is Damon Salvatore. I take a closer look and gasp. It really is him. I would recognize his blue eyes and his smirk anywhere. My hand reaches up and to touch his face. I feel tears rolling down my eyes as I continue to stare at him. But then reality hits me. He humiliated and left me.
Before I know it, everyone stops and stares at me. And it's probably because I just smacked the shit out of the bastard in front of me.
"Elena." I turn my head and see Rose looking at me with concerned eyes. Behind her I can see Caroline and Bonnie staring at me too. I can't be here. I quickly run out of the gym.
Damon's Pov
1 hour earlier
"Hey Damon, you ready to go?" Enzo asks me. "Nope. This stupid tie is ticking me off!" I've been trying to put the tie on for about 30 minutes now and I still can't get it. "Stop. I'll do it." Rebekah smacks my hands away from the tie and replaces them with her hands.
"There. All done. Now you can go off to see your soulmate." I roll my eyes. "Don't you wanna come? I mean you went to Mystic Falls too. If I remember correctly." I say to Rebekah. She sighs. "I would but I don't have a dress and I'm not really in the mood to go." I nod understanding.
"Let's go." I say to Enzo before looking in the mirror one last time.
I take my keys and head out. I open the door to my beautiful Camaro and sit down. "Enzo you're gonna have to sit in the backseat." I say. Enzo shoots me a confused look. "Why?" I turn around to face him, "I gotta pick up Katherine. Remember?" He rolls have eyes, "Mate she's annoying as hell why did you have to ask her to go with you? Out of all the other girls in this world you chose Katherine Pierce. She's literally the devil." I laugh. "I know."
I start the car and pull away from the driveway and head for Katherine's house.

20 minutes. I've been waiting for Katherine in the car for 20 minutes. I texted her 2 hours ago to see if she was getting ready and she said that she was basically done. Now that I'm outside her house waiting for her, I know she was lying.
"What's taking her so long?" Enzo sighs as we continue to wait. "I don't know." I say. I open the car door and walk to her front door. I knock once and wait. Nothing happens, so I knock again. Still no response. I sigh as I get down on one knee to lift her welcome mat and get her spare key.
I slowly open the door and walk in. It's dark so I can't really see anything. I look around and see nothing so I turn on a light. I look for her but she's not here. I guess I have to look upstairs then.
I walk up the stairs and see a light coming from her bathroom. I slowly reach out and grab the handle of the door. I open it and see Katherine straightening her hair while having earbuds in. No wonder she didn't hear me come in. I tap her shoulder and she turns around; screaming. She then laughs and takes out her earbuds. "Gosh! You scared me." I put on a fake smile. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean too. It's just that me and Enzo have been waiting for you outside for about 20 minutes and when you didn't come, I decided to come in and look for you." I say.
"Well I'm ready now." Katherine backs away from me and does a little twirl. I smile at her and take her hand. "Ok let's go." I lead her downstairs and into the car.
"Finally. I felt like I was waiting for 10 fucking years." Enzo says as me and Katherine enter my Camaro. I roll my eyes, "Stop being dramatic. We have a reunion to get to."
So so sorry for not updating sooner! I really wanted to update a few months ago but I couldn't access this so it took awhile. Also I was having writer's block for a few weeks too. :(((
But now I'm back, and I'll hopefully be updating more often! :)))
please leave a review! It'll mean a lot if you did! :))))
