Chapter 1:
Spotted—
Subject: Rose Tyler, getting out of a cab in front of her London home?
Is it true that after a year of being cooped up in a boarding school in Glasgow, Scotland, the resident 'It' girl has finally decided to come back? I, for one, am very excited about this development! Aren't you, my little followers? The past few months have been pretty dull without our beautiful party animal. Although, I can't help but wonder, why did she come back? Or better yet, why did she even leave in the first place? Hmmm, we all know how much I love secrets!
What do you think is Amelia Pond feeling right now? Is she opening champagne bottles now that her best friend has come back or do we have to brace ourselves for a cat fight? Meow!
I know, I know, we all have a lot of questions! Hold your knickers, and wait for the answers, because we all know I'll get them sooner than later *wink*. Holding my martini glass and waiting ladies… let the fun begin!
You know you love me,
Gossip Girl

A large amount of smart phones in the spacious room, where a small dinner party was being held, beeped simultaneously, which only meant one thing: A new Gossip Girl update has been made. The teenagers whose phones beeped immediately checked their phones to read the update.
You would think these people would have no time for gossip, not with all their money and fabulous parties. These teenagers, are not just any other, they are from the 1% population. They are part of the richest people in Great Britain. They came from the most elite families, getting Maserati cars on their birthdays or diamond-studded jewelry when they get good grades.
But with great money comes with even greater consequences. These teenagers have known each other since they were in diapers, but they could never trust one another. They would always have to one up their friends, heavily-edit their heart-to-hearts (not even getting into deep with saying what they really feel), and guard their secrets with their own lives. In other words, being rich is hard work.
Their eyes scan their phones manically, not believing what they have actually read. A quiet murmur suddenly broke out, hearing Rose Tyler's name mentioned a few times. They didn't think she would come back this year. Her move to Scotland was very sudden, and no one actually knew what made her do it. Jackie Tyler, Rose's mother, only told them that her daughter wanted to try and focus more with her studies, but who would actually believe that? As much as how smart Rose is, everyone knew she can't stay away from a good party, and a boarding school isn't really a place for a rave.
When Rose left, everyone in their private school noticed just after a few minutes the bells have rang. Everyone—students and teachers alike—knew who Rose Tyler was. No one would admit it, but they can always feel when she's in the same room as them. They would always try not to stare—and fail—as she walk in the hallways of their school, looking like she's strutting on a cat walk instead. Her big eyes, and full inviting lips has everyone under her spell. And it doesn't help that she's actually one of the nicest person you would ever meet.
"Did you know she's coming back today?" Shareen asked Amy as they read the article again on their phones.
Amy shifted from her seat, trying not to look uncomfortable and clueless. Of course she didn't, but no one has to know that. As far as anyone was concerned, she and Rose didn't lose touch after all these months. They're still best friends, if anyone asks. But if they cut Amy open, they will probably see the deep-seated disappointment and hurt feelings she bore for Rose. She tried to hate her, tried so hard, but couldn't. Deep down, she knew her best friend had a very good reason for leaving, but she was still very hurt by the fact that Rose left her when she needed her the most, that she didn't tell her what the hell was going on, and that she didn't even have the guts to say good bye. It was very cruel, coming from the girl who was known to be the kindest person in the galaxy.
"Of course," she replied lamely, not wanting to talk about Rose but knew it was going to be the only topic for the whole night.
"I kind of expected she won't last that long in a boarding school. You know how much Rose loves the noise here in the city," Shareen continued, unaware of Amy's mood change. Amy just shrugged at her friend's words and looked around the room. Everyone was clearly talking about Rose. Huh, forgot the Tylers are actually here, Amy thought. She saw Jackie and Pete talking to Mickey's grandma a few feet away from her. She suddenly realized that Rose might make an appearance tonight. That made Amy's blood boil. She didn't really want to see her face tonight, and wasn't in the mood to play games.
Rory walked over where Amy and Shareen were seated, and sat in between them on the couch. He wrapped his arm around Amy's shoulder and pulled her closer. "You alright?" he asked her quietly. Rory figured Amy was feeling tired, considering the activities they did last night and that morning.
Amy nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder. "She's back," she whispered to his ear. Rory didn't need to hear a name to know who his girlfriend was talking about. He knew how much hurt Amy was about Rose's sudden disappearance, even though she never talked about it with him. The three of them have been best mates since they were four, and he takes pride with the fact that he pretty much knew all the names to the girls' moods.
"Are you ready to see her," he asked.
Amy let out a long sigh. "I don't know," she replied and took a sip of her whiskey.
They stayed wrapped around each other for a few minutes, talking about school and, in passing, what they did last night and that morning. They were so wrapped up with each other that they almost didn't notice when the room got quiet. Amy tensed when she realized why: Rose Tyler has arrived. Amy didn't move, she closed her eyes and bowed her head down and tried to drown Rose's voice by reciting the skeletal system in her head. She just finished the facial bones and were about to start on the spinal column when she heard Rose giggle. This time, she opened her eyes, lifted her head and immediately saw Rose standing in front of her.
"Aren't you going to say hello," Rose chimed, grinning at Amy with her tongue poking out of her mouth.
Amy stared at Rose. She couldn't help but feel more resentful when she realized Rose had become even more beautiful and radiant. Rose cut her hair, making it rest on her shoulders in soft curls. She was wearing minimal make-up, very different from the Rose that left her a year ago. Gone was the heavy mascara and red lipstick, Rose is now sporting a more classic look. Very Grace Kelly.
Amy stood and gave Rose her winning, and very fake, smile. Rose caught on, which made the girl stiffen. "Oh my god, Rose, it has absolutely been a very long time," Amy exclaimed forcefully. She wrapped her arms around Rose but anyone smart enough would know that even hugs can be cold.
"We have a lot to talk about," Rose whispered on her best friend's ear. Amy untangled herself from Rose and gulped the rest of her drink.
Rose knew forcing Amy to talk now will get her nowhere but she has missed her friend, and she especially didn't like keeping secrets from Amy. Their relationship was different from any other friendship they have. They actually trust one another and have been keeping each other safe since the moment they decided to become best friends. Having that kind of relationship was rare in their circle and they were lucky to have found each other. But now, Rose wasn't sure if they can go back to the way it was before. She knew that leaving would have consequences, but she didn't really consider losing her best friend as one of those. Amy was a constant in her life, and didn't want to lose her. I have a lot of work to do, Rose thought.
"So," Rose turned around to the source of the voice. "Back for good?"
Rose smiled as he saw Mickey, her childhood sweetheart, grinning at her. She jumped and hugged him tight while Mickey spun her around. When they let go, she exclaimed loudly, "I'm never leaving!"
This elicited a number of responses from the people in the room. Both good and bad.
A/N: What do you think? This is my very first Doctor Who fic + very first attempt to writing an AU so please be good to me. I'm very in love with ten x rose + gossip girl so I just thought mixing both will be very interesting. Plus, as much as I love Rose, I really want to burn her baggy pants. Anyway, don't forget to leave a review and let me know what you think! I'm also going to update every Saturday! Next chapter will be about the Doctor!
