Royals

The first time I heard Royals by Lorde, my mind went immediately to Jenny Humphrey. It's not a song-fic, I just want to explain with that song how Jenny Humphrey is going to be in the story. I do not own the song or GG.

Jenny put her earphones and went to an early morning run for the first time in 2 years. She just needed to think about how she had ruined her life in the last few months and what she could do to persuade his father not to send her to Hudson. And then it came to her ears a song she had never heard before

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address

In the torn up town, no post code envy

She started to analyze how she had let the money, the desire of being dreaded and respected just like Serena and Blair rule her life the past few years. And she thought about the nights spent sewing her dresses and trying to shake off the label UES gave to her. She didn't want to be Little J from Brooklyn anymore.

But every song's like:

Gold teeth

Grey Goose

Tripping in the bathroom

Bloodstains

Ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

And UES lifestyle was so extreme and funny it almost bore her. Party dresses and perfect hair and make-up were definitely in the list of the most important things to think about, but now here she was, wondering if maybe having all the possibilities she had had, and using them to become Queen Bee instead of become someone special, hasn't been a waste.

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

And she thought about the times she made fun of all this with Dan and Vanessa.

But everybody's like:

Crystal

Maybach

Diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes

Islands

Tigers on a gold leash

And she analyzed the differences between her and the people she envied so much, and the reason she did so. Was it because they were rich? Or because they all seemed to have extreme lives? Or maybe they just had everything she was craving for. These were her desires and fears melted together.

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And the things she saw back there, the scandals and the gossip and the begging "Please don't tell… Please". She didn't really care, but used these things as weapons to hurt people.

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz

Oh, but she wanted nothing more than being Queen. She didn't care about the struggle she had to do, she just wanted to be on top and nothing could've stopped her. Or so she thought.

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

But why couldn't she be the Queen? How is it that she ruled her reign with the always present shadow of Blair? Maybe because after all, Blair had never stopped being Queen and she was just a chess queen in Blair's hands.

My friends and I we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows

That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

And her mind went to last evening, when her neighbors took her to that party, and how she had enjoyed every single minute of the evening. No fancy dresses or major dramas were allowed there. She had the time of her life dressed in a simple purple dress, drinking a couple of beers, dancing like crazy and enjoying her new friends company .

But every song's like:

Gold teeth

Grey Goose

Tripping in the bathroom

Bloodstains

Ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:

Crystal

Maybach

Diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes

Islands

Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

She allowed herself to miss for another minute the UES life as well as the person she was back there, and then she understood the truth:

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

She knew how it feels to be Queen Bee, and how it feels to be Brooklyn trash. But now she understood that maybe all the backstabbing and the "responsibilities" of being queen, had taken away all the innocence and the honesty. She started to think that maybe it was time to crave for something more than being the Queen of a couple of horny teenagers.

ooh ooh oh ooh

We're better than we've ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

ooh ooh oh ooh

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

Truth is, she was tired of trying to impose herself as Queen. It was time to be the Queen of someone who considered her like that, not for fear, but for love. And maybe she's never gonna be rich or royal, but she was going to be important for everyone who was worth it.

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

Let me know what you think with your reviews!

And I have a very important question : Who do you want Jenny to be with?
