Preamble

-Let Me Tell you a Story-


Everybody knows that Cato Einhardt and Clove Windsor are meant to be. Best friends from childhood along with Glimmer van Hoosen, Cato and Clove were and continue to be complete opposites.

Whereas Cato was the charming, golden boy of North Hills, Clove was the bossy, beloved queen. And while Cato was tall and bronzed with golden hair and blue eyes to boot, Clove was delicate with dark hair and fair skin. And while Cato was laidback and relatively friendly, Clove was sarcastically witty and high-strung.

But Cato and Clove had always had some sort of chemistry that their peers had not failed to notice. Since adolescence, it was naturally assumed that Cato and Clove would attend all social functions as each other's dates. Girls knew not to get too close to Cato, and boys learned that when it came to Clove, you could look- but never touch. Nevertheless, the two of them had never taken the final step and became a couple.

And yet, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Cato and Clove would eventually stop circling one another and become the golden couple of North Hills Prep and then proceed to lead the free world together after graduation.

So during the summer before senior year, when Cato Einhardt and Glimmer van Hoosen lost their virginity to each other, you could pretty much say that everything went to shit.


AN:/ So for some reason, this plot popped into my head yesterday. And I know I still have Heartlines to finish, but that's my baby, and I'm afraid to screw it up. I don't write anything for that story until I'm positive about my storyline. So in the mean time, enjoy this modern-day AU. I tried to write something decidedly lighter, and based the story premise off of Gossip Girl. However, there won't be a mysterious stalker, and don't look too hard for parallels other than the three main characters.

Also, I'm pretty as far from cosmopolitan as you can get, a suburban girl through and through, so I decided to set the story in a suburb outside of Manhattan. The characters will be just as wealthy and fabulous, but set in a more comfortable environment. Cities scare me.

So review if you're interested in me continuing this story! And please don't favorite or alert without reviewing! Enjoy!
