The Confessions of A Secret Sorority Sister
Chapter 14
Elena exhaled as she examined herself in the full length mirror gathering up the courage to finally go downstairs and join Liv and the others so they could get the acceptance ceremony started, but for whatever reason she was stuck there standing still and thinking about a time where Caroline and Elena were children and talking about when this would happen to them...
Elena sat down on the floor playing with her dolls as she heard excited footsteps coming up the stairs. She put down her doll and turned her head slightly to see Caroline emerging from the top of the stairs, her blonde curls being unreasonably untamed. After quickly fixing her hair which Caroline always did she sat down next to Elena and grabbed a doll. Elena didn't mind though. Her and Caroline had been friends for years and she hoped that they would both be friends long after this.
"So my mom told me about these awesome things called sororities today, but told me I had to be older to join one of them."
"What do you even do?"
"They're like the most awesome friendship group there is but you have to pay to be in them."
"I don't know Caroline it seems like kind of a bad idea to pay people to be your friends."
"What would you know you haven't even looked into it?"
Elena shrugged not caring about this sorority thing.
"We should do it."
"Do what?"
"We should join a sorority together when we're older of course."
"I don't know car-"
"You don't want to leave me alone do you?"
"Of course not. I would never leave you alone Caroline."
"Good. I'm glad to have a friend like you Elena."
"And I'm glad to be your friend."
Caroline and Elena smiled together before going back to playing with their dolls.
Elena felt as if she were a doll as she looked in the mirror looking at her ceremony dress once more. Was it too much for her sorority or not enough? She wished Caroline was here. She would be able to tell her. She was always the fashionable one in their friend group. But Elena did admit she looked good in a long forest green off the shoulder dress with a train and sleeves. She loved it and hoped that everyone else did too.
Taking a deep breath, Elena heard the door open and turned around to see Damon standing in the door way looking good in a tux that she had to admit he looked sexy in. She wondered what he thought she looked like.
"So what do you think?"
"You look beautiful, but I think there's something missing."
"Oh?" she said examining herself in the mirror. Her hair was done in a fishtail braid and her makeup was done simply, but she couldn't pin point what she was missing until Damon came up to her carrying a small wooden box.
"What's this?" she said taking it between her fingers.
"It's a present for you. Just a congratulations for making it."
Elena nodded and looked down at the necklace that he had placed there smiling. The necklace was a circular necklace with a few tiny details and a small ruby on the top. She had to admit that it was simple yet beautiful.
"Oh Damon. You shouldn't have. Can you put it on for me?"
Damon nodded taking the necklace as she turned back to the mirror watching him with her eyes. She smiled as the necklace hit her neck before she turned to him feeling a strange feeling that she really hadn't felt before. Before she could say something to him the door opened and Lexi walked in looking hot in a long black strapless gown. She was glad that she had made it with her.
"Hey Elena we're starting."
"Thanks Lexi, I'll be right out."
Lexi nodded and went out the door as Damon hooked his arm into hers.
"Are you ready for this?" he asked looking at her.
"Yeah. I am." she said smiling as they walked out the door ready to face whatever was next.
Elena exhaled as she stood on top of the stairs waiting for her turn to descend down the stairs and get inducted in the sorority, but first she had to watch the others go first. She smiled as she clapped for all the others.
Liv was downstairs smiling at everyone as she read the names looking like a supermnodel in her own dress.
"Good evening everyone I would like to present to you the new pledges for Kai Delta Omega. First up we have Bonnie Bennett."
People clapped as Bonnie descended down the steps with her escort Enzo and got pinned by Liv before they split up and Bonnie stayed on the side.
"Nora Hildegard."
"Mary-Louise."
"Lexi Branson."
Lexi turned to her and winked as she made her way downstairs and Elena inhaled than exhaled. It was her turn next and she was so nervous that she would trip and fall making an embarrassment of herself. It was like Damon had heard her thoughts because he squeezed her hand encouraging her as Liv called name.
"Are you ready for this?" he asked looking at her with those blue eyes that she loved.
"Just don't let me fall."
"Never."
she smiled as they descended down the stairs making their way to Liv. All eyes were on her and she nervously smiled finally making her way to Liv. Damon kissed her hand sending shivers up her spine as he squeezed her hand and told her good luck before joining the other men over on the floor. She turned to Liv wondering if she looked more confident than she felt.
"Do you accept the rules and priorities that come with being a member of Kai Delta Omega. And do you promise to honor your sisters and out them first over all else?"
"I do." she said with confidence making sure that Liv knew that she wanted to be there.
"Then without further a do I Olivia Parker accept you Elena Gilbert into the sisterhood. May your time here be a pleasant and overall eye opening experience."
Elena's smile got brighter as Liv pinned her pin on and everyone clapped as she turned to them making her way to the other girls. Finally she was apart of a something bigger than herself and she had to admit that it felt great.
