It was soon time to get ready to go downstairs and meet with their escorts. Bonnie's escort was going to be Jeremy since the two had began dating each other very recently. Elena looked at her gown. It was ice blue and very historic looking and also had some white in it on the bottom of the gown. Here goes the big day, she thought and followed Caroline and Bonnie out the door.
The names were called of the girls who participated in the event and their escorts. Vanessa Harding and Jason Brock were ahead of them and some other girls Elena knew of. Then next were Bonnie and Jeremy. Bonnie wore a lovely yellow cream dress. And Caroline and Matt were next. Caroline wore a pink dress and had pink flowers in her hair. Next, Elena's name was called along with Damon's. Elena found herself smiling as she met with Damon downstairs and he took her hand in his and kissed it. She was going to enjoy Founders Day regardless of the way Caroline was behaving.
The song selected this year was Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Elena liked the singer they chose she thought she had a powerful voice and the music was uplifting. They did their hand touching, and Elena found herself staring at Damon feeling her heart pound more than ever. They found themselves having fun and dancing really close. Elena didn't care who saw them together. Damon made her feel really special.
Jenna and Alaric were at the Event as well watching the contestants participate. Jenna wanted Elena to win. Last year, it was Caroline who had won it and she didn't need to win it again. But who was that dancing with Elena again? Damon Salvatore. The two seemed to be spending a lot more time together lately. She never thought them two would have a chance to be together.
"You should really give Damon a chance, Elena. He seems like a really good guy". she had said one night over Supper. Sure, she knew he had a bad side, but no one was really perfect, was they?
The Dance soon ended and everyone waited around for the winner to be announced. One special girl would be chosen as Ms. Mystic Falls for Founders day. Tyler Lockwood's Mom Carol stepped up to the stage. When the applauding calmed down, she said "Hope everyone has been having a great time! It's now time to announce Ms. Mystic Falls!" more applauding. She then was opening a white envelope. "This year the winner of Ms. Mystic Falls is…" she trailed off looking surprised at the winner. "Bonnie Bennett!"
Elena was surprised. Bonnie won Ms. Mystic Falls? How on earth could that happen? Bonnie wasn't even popular. Bet Caroline had something to do with that or perhaps Jeremy. Elena tried to hide her jealousy and be happy for her friend.
Bonnie was in complete shock but walked up to the stage to accept the crown and flowers. She was crowned and began to make her speech.
Damon whispered to her "How did she win? Aren't you the popular one?" he asked.
Damon was confused. Heck, he always stayed confused. What was new?
Elena sighed. "I guess I'm not anymore. I think I've lost my touch". Elena said.
