Author's Note: Starts the day after Dan reveals himself as gossip girl
Chapter One: Chance Encounter
"So what are you going to do now that the big story is out?" Sage asked Nate. They were on their way to get some coffee down the street. Everybody was still talking about Dan being gossip girl, and truth be told it was starting to freak Nate out.
"I really don't know," he responded, "It's stressing me out. How am I supposed to top that?" He looked down at his shoes and tried not to imagine the worst. Sage grabbed his hand and looked tenderly into his eyes.
"You'll think of something," she replied. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her. She snuggled her head into his shoulder. He kissed the top of her head as they approached the coffee shop.
"Why don't you go grab us a table?" he suggested to Sage, "Same order?" She nodded and went to the corner of the shop to grab them somewhere to sit. He got into line behind some tall blonde girl. Something about her seemed familiar but he couldn't quite pin it down.
"One raspberry ice tea please," she asked. She pulled out her credit card and paid for her drink. The cashier pointed to the other side of the counter where you pick up your drinks. "Thank you," she said. When she turned around she ran right into him and almost fell. Nate caught her and pulled her back up.
"Sorry," she said flustered.
"No big deal," Nate replied. She looked up to his eyes and for a moment they just stared at each other. He did know her. He hadn't been this close to her in for what felt like forever.
"Nate?" she asked.
"Jenny?"
