The Confessions of a Secret Sorority Sister

Chapter 11

Elena was in a peaceful sleep when the sound of a military alarm woke her from her slumber. The rest of the girls woke up around her as she checked the time on her cellphone. Why the hell were they waking them up at 4:30 am in the morning. Liv entered with a microphone and smiled at all her pledges.

"Alright, it's time to get up you stupid bitches. You're task for today is to get through a military training course. Ten of you will enter, but only five of you will get through this. Now come on! Get dressed! I'll see you in five minutes flat!"

Liv exited the room as the other girls quickly got dressed. Elena got dressed with them and went out to the back yard for the military course. She had to admit that it was intimidating, but she could get through this. She had to.

After Elena got dressed she met everyone in the field. Liv was standing there looking as fierce as ever. Elena would probably have a hard time with this, but she was determined to win. No matter what the cost.

Elena looked around at the not so sure looks of her competitors. She just hoped she didn't get eliminated. She needed this sorority more than anything. Liv allowed them to stretch and Elena did the stretches she used to do in cheerleading. She just hoped it was enough to get her through this brutal course.

"Alright ladies will do this one at a time. First up is Elena Gilbert. The ten women with the best time will be through. Good luck Elena."

Elena nodded as she took a deep breath. There was something so nerve racking about being the first one to do something. She was the girl to set the example, but she was also the girl who had to watch everyone try to beat her.

She put her hair into a ponytail as she looked at the long obstacle course ahead of her. She just hoped she was strong enough to do this or else she didn't know what she would do. Sure she still had Damon, but she had lost her best friend because of this. She just didn't want it not to be worth it.

"Alright Elena. We'll start on three. One. Two. Three!"

Time seemed to slow down as Elena went through the obstacle course. First up her challenge was to climb up a ladder. It seemed simple enough, but she knew this would only get harder as she went along so she tried to conserve her energy some.

Next up were some hurtles. She never really had been good at these, so when she tripped over one, she was not surprised. She groaned but forced herself to get back up. She couldn't let this slow her down any. She had to keep going. She had to keep fighting or else she would lose it all. And Elena was never one for being the loser.

Next she had to crawl. Some people made it so easy and at times it was okay, but Elena was starting to get a little winded. She just had to remember tio believe in herself. She knew she could do this. She knew she could make it into this sorority. Even if she didn't she wouldn't go down without a fight.

After a few more of those dreadful hurtles she found herself on the balance beam. She was thankful for those years her parents had made her do gymnastics and went through it pretty easily without falling off. She jumped off and ran to her next course.

She ran up the slanted wall using the rope as a way to help her. The rope cut into her skin and stung a little, but she had no time to complain. She just had to keep on pushing through. After a few more sets of dreadful hurtles which she was getting better at she came to a set of bleachers she had to run up and jump off of.

Unfortunately fate was not on her side and she fell on her ankle. It hurt like a bitch, but she knew she couldn't quit now not when she was so far ahead. She would just have to have someone look at it later. This was her time to shine and she wasn't going to lose it because of a simple thing such as a sprain.

It had hurt even worse when she had to do a few moe wall climbs and hurtles before coming up to a ditch she had to jump in. She bit on her lips as she fell into it and climbed back out. This was really intense for a sorority, but Elena had a feeling that was exactly how Liv liked it and she would not show any mercy no matter how nice she seemed.

Needless to say Elena was grateful that the next test was one of the ladders she saw from earlier. It made things a little bit more easy. After that came the tires. She did her best to do them. It wasn't that easy but she made it through before she came to the monkey bars. She swung herself around on them before she faced her final challenge climbing a rope wall. She took a deep breath and climbed up before stopping on the bar above it. She only had to make this small climb down and than she would be finished. She took another deep breath and climbed down it with as much speed as she possibly could. Once she was done she hit the ground and took several deep breaths trying to catch up for the ones she had lost.

A girl she hardly knew clicked the stop watch she had been holding and gave Elena a bottle of water which she guzzled down immediately.

"What was my time?" she asked.

"I'm not allowed to say. It will only worry you. Now go take a seat over there before you pass out."

Elena nodded as she took a seat on the bench. Now all she had to do was wait for her fate to be revealed.

Once everyone had gone through the course, which took a couple hours and had involved Elena waiting by texting Damon what was going on which lead to him asking him to come over after, the result were finally in.

Elena stood on her very sore ankle and reminded herself to get it checked out by the health office before she met Damon. It was finally time to hear her fate and she just hoped she could tell him exciting news.

"Alright ladies. I would like to thank you for doing your best, but now it's time to pick the top five. If I don't call you're name you will be dismissed from the sorority. Now let's get started. Lexi."

The girls congratulated her as she took a spot next to Liv.

"Bonnie."

Bonnie smiled and took a place by Lexi.

"Mary-Louise."

Mary Louise flashed Elena her killer smile and too a spot focusing her gaze on her girlfriend Nora.

"Nora."

Nora did a fist pump as all the girls tensed up. There was six of us and only one spot left.

"Alright ladies. There's only one spot in our sorority left. Thank you all for your consideration, but the girl we're going for is Elena."

Elena put her hand over her mouth as she joined the group. She couldn't believe it. She had made it through. She was now officially a sorority sister. She just couldn't wait to get inducted and tell Damon. This was the best day of her life and it had only just begun.
