Gossip Girl

British Socialites

GG: "Hey there Upper East siders,

Gossip Girl here. Spotted at the gates of Constance's, a fresh new face, Edeline Russo, I hear she is from England. What brings this hottie all the way across the Atlantic?"

1 hour ago.

Edeline Russo was sitting in her room of her family's new townhouse. Her room looked over Central Park. It was a beautiful view, but it was not what she would have called home.

The Russo's came from the United Kingdom Just across the ocean. Edie (as she is most common known as) loved her London life, living in the heart of London in one of the most expensive and sophisticated part of London Chelsea, Kensington. She didn't want to move to America. But Xavier Russo decided to branch his very successful hotel business in America too. The Russo Hotel was by far the best in the UK, France & Italy. Xavier had made a name for himself and at only thirty nine he is listed as one of the richest business men in the UK.

Xavier's wife Peyton Russo the popular London socialite who's Chinese parents ran a chain of very successful Chinese restaurants was very supportive of the big move state side.

Edie was not alone, her other siblings also shared the same misery. Her older brother Ethan, loved England but he had already considered studying in the US, so he accepted the move to New York without a confrontation, which infuriated Edie. The only Russo child who did not handle the move very well was little Enrico at the tender age of 5. At five a sudden change like this will surely affect you badly.

Today was the first day at Constance. A new school year. Edie will be joining the junior class while Ethan will be joining the senior class. Edie was nervous, very nervous. Edie barely touched her breakfast.

Peyton Russo was watching her daughter like a hawk.

"Edie, please eat up. It's your first day of school."

"Mum I'm not hungry."

Peyton pulled a face. she knew this move affected her daughter badly. After all it was her daughter who had to sacrifice everything. Well they all did. But she knew her daughter had to sacrifice a lot.

"How are you finding New York kids?"

"It's not England, Mother."

Peyton frowned at her daughter.

"Darling you will grow to love New York."

Edie rolls her eyes and stands up to leave. She grabs her school bag and walks round the table to grab her brother's arm.

"Come on Ethan, we need to go."

Ethan groaned he was still eating his chocolate croissant.

"Edeline you are not wearing those shoes are you?"

Edie was wearing her black oxford shoes with the killer heel. One of her best purchases. She rolled her eyes at her mother. She was 16 years old and could wear what she wanted. Edie thought her mother should be thankful that she was not prancing around in a mini skirt.

Edie left the room dragging her brother with her.

On the way to school the siblings walked in silence. Ethan & Edie were very close. Ethan especially was very protective of his little sister. He worried about her. Especially when it came to boys and her health. Ethan had flashes when he found his sister in a critical condition. He cursed that if he got to her any later she….she…. well.

"Edie, are you ok?"

Edie turned to face her brother. He was always so protective of her. Especially with the Tom fiasco.

"I'm fine Ethan, I just miss home. I miss grandmama. And Wills of course."

"I know you miss grandmama, but you knew we had to move. I mean dad would have never allowed you to stay in England by yourself."

"I had Grams and Will. I mean if dad was worried about Tom… we were over long before he decided to ship us all over to the 'New World'"

"You know dad doesn't know what happened between you and Tom. You and I both know what it is actually about."

The Russo siblings arrived at the gates of Constance & St Jude's.

GG: "Don't lose heart boys, that guy next to Miss Russo is her older brother. This pair of siblings may look normal, but since when are the Upper East siders normal?"

Everyone was staring at the Russo siblings. A certain Bass was certainly eyeing Edie up. Edie was in her first period which was English, a subject she enjoyed very much back home. She took a seat near the back. The class began to fill and a certain 'it' girl had returned and the only seat left was next to the new girl. Stares were all on Serena Van Der woodson. Whispers was forming around the room, " oh my god S is back.", " I heard she was pregnant or something." "I knew it. She got rid of the baby that's why she left." "I always knew she was a slut." Serena was spotted with a tall male the night before who shared a slight resembles to a certain Nate Archibald.

Serena just droned out the gossiping and turned her attention to Edie.

"Hi I'm Serena Van Der Woodson."

Edie looked up and smiled at Serena. Edie thought she was very pretty and guessed she was very popular.

"Edeline Russo, people call me Edie."

"Wow. You're from England! I love London. London is one of my favourite places, along side Italy & France."

"Ooh me too. I'm actually half Italian & half Chinese. I spend most of my summer lost in the Italian culture."

"Isn't Italy just wonderful?"

The girls smiled at each other. Edie began to like Serena she seemed to be a nice person. Things were starting to look up for Edie.

GG: "Is Edie Russo climbing the social ladder? Or is it trouble with Serena? That will send her down the snake pit?"

By lunch time Serena & Edie seemed to be joined together at the hip. They were talking about Italy when everyone looked at Serena. A Gossip Girl Blast was sent out and everyone was looking at their phones and shaking their heads at Serena Van Der Woodson.

GG: "Rumour has it Serena Van Der Woodson, left town, to abort her unborn foetus. Oh S what would your mother think? Has S betrayed B? She was allegedly spotted with Nate Archibald last night. Dear readers do send in the Goss."

(Edie's POV)

I was giggling with Serena when she got a text and froze. The whole courtyard was staring at her. She looked like she was going to cry.

"Serena what's wrong?"

"It's not true."

"What's not true?"

I took her phone from her hand and read the blast. Gossip Girl? What the hell is that? I've never heard of it.

"I believe you Serena."

"Thank you Edie. Oh god what am I going to do?"

For some reason I decided to help her out, even though I barely knew the girl. She seemed nice enough. I scowled at the gossiping teens that surrounded us.

"It's not true. Serena. Left because she was helping me, helping me …. Hide from my father. And last night, she wasn't with Nate, she was hanging with me all the time."

Everyone turned to face me. In some ways I am not in speaking terms with my father. I blame him for the move. I blame him for the family fall out. If it wasn't for him, I'll still be in London. So I wrapped the lie round the truth… I was indeed avoiding my father. I just hope this lie was all worth it.

I lend Serena away. She thanks me. We are walking when we stop at the Mets when she introduces me to her group of friends.

"Blair you have to meet Edie. Blair, Edie. Edie Blair."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you Blair."

Blair Waldorf eyed up Edie. Edie had long black hair and deep brown eyes. She had a heart shaped face. Edie was petite and thin very thin. She was stunning. A worthy candidate for the elite clique.

Blair smiled at Edie.

GG: "Edie gaining approval from Queen Bee? Is this a start of a blossoming friendship?"

Chuck Bass was not convinced by Edie's confession. He was going to dig some dirt on this new girl. Chuck was not too please that Edie had rejected his advances earlier. He wanted to get even. Chuck decided the best way to dig the dirt on her was to talk to the enemy oh no not Edie Russo, no Chuck decided to get his sources from Ethan Russo instead.

GG: "Exposed. Looks like Miss Russo isn't so sweet and innocent. In fact she is a Liar. She's not hiding from her father. She just has daddy issues. Why did she lie for S? Why does she want to hide from her father? Has Edie really blown her reputation at Constance? We all know that Blair Waldorf doesn't take likely to liars. Was covering for S all that worth it? Only time will tell how long this new Upper East sider will last.

You know you love me

XOXO Gossip Girl."
