Bully Pranksters nominate girl for homecoming queen and get their comeuppance (+vdeo)

11. It wasn't too clearly explained, was it?

I think what happened was that she was told she won some popularity contest. Then, at some later time, she was told that she had not, in fact, won.

Being Canadian, I don't know of any schools around here that have these sorts of de facto beauty pageants, but I understand that in the U.S. there's a kind of religious fervour wrapped around this sort of thing, along with football games and prom nights.

I suppose we're left to imagine a bunch of girls gathered around her, doing the whole, "Haha! You? Homecoming Queen? You're too ugly for that! How could you ever believe that we would pick you!"

That sort of thing. Adults might shrug it off but it's devastating to teenagers. Children can be such jerks.
