Jenny Humphrey walked around Central Park, having nothing better to do. She might be the Queen Bee of Constance Billiards School for Girls, but that didn't mean everything was okay.
The good side? She and Erik were friends again. He was even back together with Jonathan (after Jenny talked to him and after Erik apologized for what seemed like the umpteenth time). She had a bunch of people that followed her every command, and she had the support and love of her family and step-family.
The downside? She had to be a bitch to everyone she used to be friends with (including Erik and Jonathan, but she put a stop to that after she and Erik's "mini war"). Her dad and Lily might be splitting up after he found out about Lily sleeping with Mr. van der Woodsen again, Dan was depressed because Vanessa thought she was joking when he told her he loved her she was hanging out with a drug dealer, and, to top it all off, Nate Archibald, the guy she was in love with, was dating and in love with, her step-sister, Serena van der Woodsen.
She kept walking and looking at all the friends and couples that were out on that November day. There were friends talking and laughing (and probably gossiping), there were children running around playing tag, and there were couples holding hands, smiling, hugging, and kissing, as they walked and talked.
She smiled sadly. Those couples made her think of Nate, she didn't know why, but they did. She continued walking and up ahead saw a russet colored boy with black hair and brown eyes. She crinkled her eyebrows, she didn't know this boy. And she usually knew everyone in the Manhattan area, thanks to Lily, Serena, Erik, and even Jonathan.
The boy looked over at her and smiled. She turned slightly pink, but thankfully because it was fall and it was New York, she could just say it was from the cold, if anyone asked.
The boy started walking towards her as she kept walking on the path she was walking on. She was slightly nervous, but she'd fight through it, she was Jennifer Humphrey, after all.
"Hey." The guy said when they were close enough to hear each other.
"Hi." She replied, looking at the boy up and down. Short, straight black hair, russet skin, muscles (not too many though), thin, and nice teeth. He was pretty attractive.
"I'm Seth. Seth Clearwater." He said to her and held out his hand.
"Jenny Humphrey." She replied, taking his hand and shaking it. "So, are you new around here? I haven't seen you before."
Seth nodded. "Yeah, I am. I'm not going to be here for long, though. I'm just visiting my sister at college. Then I'm heading back to La Push."
Jenny crinkled her eyebrows. "La Push?"
"It's an Indian reservation in Washington, by Forks."
She nodded, and started walking again, Seth next to her. "What about you, where are you from?"
"Originally? Brooklyn. But my dad got married so we, my dad brother and I, moved here to live with my step mom, sister, and brothers." She replied.
"Oh, that sounds nice. Are they happy together?" He asked and Jenny felt her heart sink a little.
They used to be. She thought. Out loud, she said, "I think they were happier in the beginning. But I think that's how it is with a lot of things in Manhattan, they're better in the beginning." Her thoughts went to being queen and Nate.
Seth nodded. "That actually makes sense. And I know what you mean by 'better in the beginning' but I think for some of is in La Push, it's better in the end."
Jenny gave him a confused look.
"I mean, yeah, some things start off great in the beginning, but then during the middle they suck, but everything works out the way it's supposed to be in the end, you know?"
She nodded. She liked talking to this Seth guy. He actually understood things, in a way that most Upper East Siders didn't. She liked that about him.
They kept walking around Central Park and talking for what seemed like hours. Jenny was even starting to forget why she liked Nate, because she was having such a great time with Seth. And not only was he a good listener and smart, he was pretty attractive, too. Not Nate Archibald attractive, by any means, but still attractive.
"I think I should get going. I told Leah I'd be at this restaurant we're meeting at by 6:30 and it's already 6:15. But it was really great meeting you, Jenny."
Jenny felt a sudden sadness come over her. She didn't want him to go yet. When he was around she could forget about everything that was going on in her life. "Are you going to be here much longer?" She finally asked.
"Maybe two or three days. Why?" He asked.
"I like hanging out with you. You seem… real. And I like that. So if you were going to be in town for a few more days, I thought we could hang out again, that's all."
Seth smiled at her. "I'd like that. I had a great time talking to you today. So, yeah, I'd like to hang out again."
She smiled back at him and pulled a piece of paper out of the purse that she had on her shoulder and scribbled something on it before handing it to him. "Here. It's my cell number, so you can call me, if you want. So we can hang out again."
Seth smiled. "Thanks. I'll see you around Jenny." He said before walking off.
Jenny watched him walk off, smiling slightly. She had a great time today. She was still unsure what was going to happen with her family, Dan and Vanessa, Nate and Serena, or even Damien. But there was one thing she knew for sure.
She couldn't wait to see Seth again.
Spotted: Little J walking around Central Park with a cute new guy? Is there something there? I'll let you guys know. You Know You Love Me, XOXO, Gossip Girl
I have NO IDEA where this oneshot came from. It was completely unexpected. And I'm kind of proud of that. And I know I didn't get extremely, extremely fluffy, but in this oneshot Seth and Jenny DID like each other, I just didn't know how to show it without being way too overly fluffy for the fic. I hope you guys like this. I'm actually kinda proud with how it turned out.
Disclaimer: I, IHeartAdamLambert, do not own Twilight, it belongs to the (amazing) author, Stephenie Meyer. I also do not own Gossip Girl, it belongs to Josh Schwartz and Cecily von Ziegesar.
Also, I might discontinue my Marco and Manny story, "Fix You". I'm not really feeling inspired anymore but if you guys want me to write it I will. Or even if someone else wants to write it, ask me and we'll talk about it. I'll probably say yes. But I'd want a few of your ideas for the story.
But ANYWAYS R&R! Hope you enjoyed
