Chapter One: The first confession
Serena van der Woodsen had always been able to astound him. At seventeen, Serena was simply an angel, just as she was during the first time for both of them two years back. And although Nate Archibald had acted as if he was finally over Serena and had never attempted to make a move on her after the incident with Jenny the other night, deep down, he still loved her.
Thus, seeing her with Dan Humphrey was killing him. He was nothing but a "good-friend" to Serena. At least Chuck Bass is lucky enough to be her "step-brother" and verbally seduce her whenever he wanted, he could actually sneak into the bathroom and watch Serena undress if he really wanted to—screw the consequences, Serena was worth it—but Nate? Oh, he has to play the role of the "loyal good friend".
Good friend my ass. If I was such a good friend I wouldn't actually dream of having her. No, I don't only reverie, I want her, I need her. Not like the way I had Blair… I actually love Serena, Nate thought. His eyes dropped to the table, I always have.
Realizing his feelings that moment made him see himself; Jenny, Vanessa, Blair, and all the other girls? What was he thinking? The perfect girl was always right there in front of him! His perfect girl… that no one knows about.
Well, no one but Chuck.
Chuck rolled his eyes at his friend's "look that kills" directed at no one but the one and only Humphrey boy. Nate had gotten drunk the previous night and spilled the details of his "miserable true love" to Chuck. What a man. But in some ways, Chuck understood Nate's feelings as he felt the same for Blair Waldolf. Except, he never really admitted it to her.
Oh, stupid Chuck.
Stupider Nate.
"You had your chance with her during the summer, but instead you used it as a cover-up of your affair with the 'duchess'," Chuck said.
Nate hid his face in his hands, "I know, I know. I was stupid. But Serena should have known that the kiss really moved me. I know it was to make the duchess jealous, but if Dan Humphrey didn't show up, I would have told her that."
Chuck shook his head at his friend's stupidity and put his glass down, "The point is, Archibald, what are you going to do about it?"
Nate internally grimaced at his best friend's "sympathy" and decided turn the story around. He had enough of talking about himself.
"The same thing you're going to do about Blair," Nate said as he lifted his head and turned to grin at Chuck.
Chuck's expression immediately turned uneasy, "Blair is… just a girl."
"Well, man," Nate got up and patted his friend on the back, "you know as well as I do that you don't think that," he leaned closer to his friend, "'Three words, eight letters,' she's waiting for it man, it's written all over her," he paused and hesitated, "… and Serena."
Chuck was right; he had to do something about her… because he loved her. He couldn't just see her go off with Dan Humphrey so easily.
Dan might make Serena happy, but he broke her heart too many times before.
Serena could do better, and Nate was better.

Hey People!
How's it going?
The word is, S is having a party at her place Saturday night. Just another "have fun" party. But is it really that? Or is S planning to announce her on-again relationship with lonely boy?
Well, we'll just have to see.
By the by, everyone is invited.
You know you love me,
Gossip Girl
Spotted:
B buying a strapless black dress at Channels. Personally, I think it's sexy, but who could she be looking to impress? S and D holding hands again. C taking little J for a walk, since when did they hang out? And last, but not least, N buying a Harry Winston ring (not the engagement kind of course, but Harry Winston nonetheless), but who could it be for if N is supposed to be single?
I see confessions coming up.

Hi NateFan,
Who knows. If you want to get a chance to see Nate some much, why don't you come to Serena's party Saturday Night? As I said everyone is invited. I'll see you there!

"Hey, S. Sooo, you gonna announce your 'big secret' Saturday night?" Blair asked over her phone.
Serena giggled, "Yes, B, are you going to be there?"
"Well of course," Blair said mockingly sweet, "but I just wanted to know if you getting back together with Dan is really a big secret."
"Aww… B, how did you know?" Serena asked imitating B's sweetness.
"Doesn't the whole world know?" Blair said, coming back to seriousness, "It's all over Gossip Girl!"
Serena took a bite of the fresh baked bread she was holding then said into the phone, "Seriously, who is Gossip Girl?"
Blair sniffed audibly, "Who knows? But enough of Gossip Girl and Dan, I heard Nelly Yuki has competition."
"Who?"
"Nelly Yuki! The girl who totally wanted to take my spot last year!" Blair yelled into her cell.
Serena pulled her phone away from herself just in time and rubbed her ear, "Urgh. Blair, Nelly Yuki is technically serving the mean girls. I mean, Jenny totally confirmed that."
"You know, Jenny has competition too!" Blair added quickly, "Not that she deserves any," it was one thing to be mean to Nelly Yuki, and another thing to be mean about Jenny—Dan Humphrey's younger sister—since that was the key to totally piss Serena off, and the last thing Blair wanted was for Serena to stop talking to her. Blair needed Serena given the crisis she was in, but she wasn't going to let Serena in on that yet.
"Okay, I give up, who is she?"
"Heather Vanida, a junior. She's Asian, South Asian, I think, but she's perfect." Blair said excitedly.
"Oh, so how does she look like?"
"I don't know yet, but she does wear glasses, that's all I know." Perfect nerd to fight Nelly Yuki off is all Blair needs to know.
Oh, but she's in for a surprise.
Not only will Heather Vanida be a competition for Nelly Yuki, but a competition for Blair as well.
And she definitely will be stirring Nate Archibald and Chuck Bass's pot, only in which way?
Don't piss her off, B! Oh, but that's what you do best… naturally.
Seems like B's gotta watch her back, and her bitchiness.
