Short chapter, I know! It'll get more exciting, don't worry :)

CHAPTER 1

"Hey, S. I'm on my way to the Hamptons." Blair paused. "I know it's unexpected but I couldn't stand being in Tuscany alone. Anyway…see you soon."

Blair sighed. Why did he have to do this? Everything was going so well between them but he had to go and ruin it all. All he had to do was show up, dammit!

"How long are we going to take, Joe?" Blair asked her driver impatiently.

"Half an hour, ma'am."

"Yes, sis? Any particular reason you're so intrigued by me today?" Chuck glanced at Serena who was leaning against the doorframe and grinning at him.

"You heard Blair's message!" Serena said in a singsong voice. Chuck ignored her and continued rummaging through the closet for something. She continued staring at him with that ridiculous grin still plastered on her face.

"What message?" Chuck scowled at her wishing she'd go away.

Serena frowned. "Oh, I guess you didn't hear the message. Blair's coming here to spend the rest of the summer."

"What?" Chuck frowned not believing that Blair would want to see him after what he did to her. "I don't believe you."

"She doesn't know you're here, Chuck. Stay away from her if you know what's good for you." Serena called out as he left the room. Serena sighed. What was his problem? Her phone vibrated and she flipped it open.

I'll be there in half an hour - B

Serena grabbed her tote and put on her oversized Dior sunglasses. She had half an hour to kill and where better to kill time than at at beach? Besides, she needed a distraction and didn't mind if it came in the form of a hot lifeguard.

"Well, well, well...if it isn't the one and only Serena van der Woodsen," Serena heard someone say. The voice was familiar and sent a chill down her spine, even though she was sprawled on the beach under the sun. Serena slipped off her sunglasses and turned around. Nobody was there. Confused, she stuck her earphones back in and hit 'Shuffle' on her iPod. She closed her eyes as the soothing sounds of a Frank Sinatra song enveloped her.

"Hey Serena!"

Serena sat up with a start. Before her stood a familiar looking girl with flowing dark hair.

"Georgina?" Serena tried not to sound as shocked as she was. Didn't Blair send her off to some reform school?! Why was she here then?

Georgina smiled at her sweetly. Just like the old times. It was that same sickening smile she wore when she had tricked her into having a drink with her. Serena unconsiously glanced at her phone. It had been an hour since Blair had messaged her. She would probably be at the house by now. Serena hurriedly began gathering her things and dumping them in her pale pink Versace tote. The last thing she wanted was a Waldorf-Bass showdown.

"Where are you going? I thought we could...catch up," Georgina frowned at Serena. Serena bit her lip, trying to keep herself from shouting at her. You practically ruined my life, you psycho bitch!

"I have nothing to say to you." Serena said coolly. Georgina looked at her, her eyes pleading with her. Serena knew that it was her "can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" face. She'd seen it so many times before.

Yet she still turned around to face Georgina Sparks. To give her one last chance.

"I'll come over to your place tonight. You can explain to me why you did what you did to me. After all, we were friends for so long," Serena reluctantly said.

Georgina beamed and squealed, "great! See you tonight, S!"

The doorbell rang and Blair quickly opened the door, expecting Serena.

"Nate!" Blair squealed. He looked pleasantly surprised and enveloped her in a hug. "Blair! When did you get here!"

"Twenty minutes ago. Why are you here? Are those rumours about you and Serena true?" Blair teased as she let him in and they entered the living room.

Nate shook his head, "no, actually I was here to see..."

"Me." Blair heard Chuck's voice from behind her. What the fuck?! He was here too?

"Blair!" Serena entered the house and hugged her best friend who was looking rather confused and dangerous at the same time.

"Hey, S," Blair smiled unenthusiastically. She tried not to look at Chuck but it was easier said than done. He was still as handsome as ever, except for the fact that his usually touseled hair was slicked back. She liked it better when it fell over his forehead and had the urge to mess it up for him. Control yourself, Waldorf. Blair inhaled and exhaled slowly.

"I have to go...um...unpack," she quickly left the room. Serena glared at Chuck and followed Blair.

"Girls," Chuck sighed exasperatedly and looked at Nate.

"You shouldn't have left her alone in Tuscany, man." Nate's eyes bored into him.

"I know."

I'd really appreciate reviews :) Even a few words would be nice.
