July 20/09 : I cleaned up the whole story. EVERYTHING. It took me almost six hours. A lot of stuff was changed. I am apppauled at some of the mistakes I had made. Please feel free to let me know if you find any more mistakes lurking about.

June 22/09 : I just did a little cleaning. I found quite a few spelling and grammar errors. =/ I suppose I need to proof read better the first time.

Aloha. =) I'm Carly and this is my first fanfic... ever! Be prepared for lots of mistakes! Haha, so anyways, this is going to be a tad different than the books. Things you need to know before you start this lovely story are:

Sky, Jack, Oliver, Mimi, Bliss, etc, are the SAME AGE. In the first Blue bloods novel it says that Sky, Oliver and Bliss are sophomores and Mimi and Jack are juniors. In my story they are all seniors... not seniors as in like old people but high school seniors.

This story is set after Melissa's hidden chapter, so Revelations. A few things are going to be off from the actual books, hope you don't mind. I will do little back stories and such so you don't get confused. If the story is confusing let me know! I also must warn you that I like to describe settings in great detail. It might be seen as a bad habit or a really good thing, I don't really know. So enough of my rambling. On with the story!

I own nothing.

Blue blood is an expression from the Spanish phrase "sangre azul," indicating noble birth or descent. -from Wikipedia.

Schuyler Van Alen wandered through the hallways of Duchesne Preparatory School gazing up at the photographs of the graduating classes before her that lined the hallways. The black and white photographs acted almost as a timeline depicting what the current hairstyle was at the time it was taken. The first graduating class of 1869 showed a group of six young ladies with their hair pulled back into neat buns. As the line of photos went on, the hairstyles seemed to get puffier, longer and just plain weird. Something in each photo was the same though. Every girl in the photographs wore a white tea dress from Saks, white gloves from Bergdorf's and garlands of intertwined ivy upon their heads. Each boy wore proper morning suits and pearl tipped pins on their grey ascots.

As Schuyler came to the end of the timeline, she came face to face with a blank wall. In a week's time she would be wearing one of those white tea dresses from Saks and white gloves from Bergdorf's and her graduating class' photo would be placed on the blank wall space, leaving her immortalized in Duchesne history.

She wandered down the marble staircase letting her hand skim along the banister. Walking through Duchesne was like going through a time machine. From the fleur-de-lis wallpaper to the creaky Pullman elevator, everything was old fashioned. Some students hated it but Schuyler loved it. The school felt like more of a home to her and she would definitely miss it. Most students out of the small graduating class were ecstatic to finally be out on their own but Schuyler wasn't so sure. Some students had sent out their graduation announcements almost five months early. Schuyler had sent none. Who could she send them to? Cordelia and Lawrence had passed away, she had no father, her mother was in a coma and would most likely never wake up, Oliver's parents already had a son graduating and Charles had Mimi and Jack.

Face it, you are on your own after this. Schuyler thought to herself. You have absolutely no one.

Sure, she had Oliver but lately Oliver had been avoiding her. She didn't blame her. After her break up with Jack, she had been no fun at all. Oliver didn't even know why she had severed all ties to Jack.

The bell rang signally the end of classes for the day and students began to crowd the halls. For everyone else it meant one less day till the end of the school year, for Schuyler it meant one less day till she was on her own... forever.

Meet me at my locker. We need to do some shopping.

Hm. Shopping with Mimi?

Sorry, can't lots of homework.

You lie.

Jack didn't respond. He was lying but he couldn't really tell Mimi that he did not want to spend six hours in Barney's telling Mimi how good she looked in cashmere cardigans and silk dresses the flowed to the floor. Mimi already knew she looked good, why did he have to be there to tell her?

You owe me you know. All the pain you put me through...

True, she had him there. He had put her through a lot of pain while he was with... Schuyler. He knew he had hurt Mimi and felt guilty for it. Going to Barney's seemed like worse pain though.

Fine. I'll just take Bliss with me. You still owe me though. Big time.

The thought was icy. Mimi was certainly not impressed with Jack's mopey attitude. When a person is upset over something you are supposed to give them a bit of space. Mimi did not follow that rule. She suffocated Jack. She kept him on such a tight leash making sure she knew where he was, what he was doing, his plans for the day, everything. He knew she meant well but he just needed time to get over... her. He couldn't even manage to say her name anymore.

Schuyler breaking it off with him had cut him down. He didn't even know why she left... oh wait. He did. Oliver. The bastard.

Weeks after Schuyler had ended things Jack had plotted Oliver's death. There were many death plans ranging from being run over by an S.U.V and poisoning his coffee from Starbucks. Later on Jack realized that Sky had a right to be happy and by taking Oliver away from her, she would be devastated and that was something that was hurt him even more. He still, at times, found himself concocting a plan to bump Oliver off. He couldn't really help it though. After all, it was his nature to be destructive.

Jack pushed open the double doors of Duchesne and walked out into the 63 degree weather. It was a nice day; he didn't need his jacket today. Just as he was about to j-walk across the street, someone called out his name.

Shit.

Jack faked a smile. "Hey Tanner."

Tanner was a 6'7", with dull blue eyes and bronze hair. He played on the Duchesne lacrosse team with Jack.

"You coming to practice?"

"Erm... not tonight. Too tired and I have all this stuff to do before grad. Sorry."

"You'll lose your spot in the last game."

"You can take it. I can't go anyways," Jack said in a bored voice.

"There will be scouts there; you'll lose your chance at a scholarship."

"I don't really mind. I don't need a scholarship anyways."

"Fine, don't say I didn't tell ya. Later."

"Later," Jack turned his attention back to the street.

Like he needed a scholarship. His father was Charles Force, owner and FFN. Everyone knew the Forces pretty much ran New York.

Mimi flipped the pages of the magazine she was reading. She was infuriated that Chanel had not printed the two page ad that she had recently done. They thought it was "too racy". It was an ad for lingerie, what did they expect? Did they want her to just stand there and smile plastered on her face like a model for some low class clothing line? It was lingerie for crying out loud! Nobody is going to buy it if there is no sex appeal! They had instead printed an ad with another model draped across a Victorian style couch. Like that was any racier than her ad.

"Ms. Force, what about this one?"

Mimi looked up from her magazine to study the dress her personal shopper at Barney's had picked out.

"Hideous. Try again," Mimi said flipping through her magazine again.

"Mimi, you have are going to have to chose one sooner or later. You've already seen more than half of the dresses here," Bliss whined.

Bliss slouched on Mimi's left in a Victorian style chair with a plump coushion. Her red curls were pulled back into a lose ponytail and she was wearing a bright turquoise summer dress that had a vibrant yellow and magenta flower pattern and white designer flip flops. Mimi wore white short, shorts with a flowy crème coloured baby doll tank top, a long beaded necklace, brown gladiator sandals and huge white Chanel sunglasses upon her head. Her outfit was much more planned down to the last detail than Bliss'. Bliss did look nice but she looked a mess. Her eyes had dark circles and her face was sunken in, almost like she was dead. Mimi had felt a tinge of guilt asking her to come along. She knew that Bliss hadn't looked well for weeks, but it quickly passed after she saw Jack going for a walk instead of "doing homework" like he said he was going to be.

"If you knew you were just going to sit here and whine, why did you come?" Mimi said in a bored voice not looking up from her magazine.

"You asked me. I didn't think we would end up being in Barney's for FOUR hours."

"Hush. I'll treat you to dinner once the dress is found."

Bliss sunk lower in the chair and crossed her arms. Something flashed in her eyes and she began to mutter to herself.

Mimi was searching for the perfect outfit for the graduation gala. The committee was hosting a grand party for the members who were graduating. She needed to find the perfect dress that would make all eyes lock onto her.

"How about this ma'am?"

"I don't think so. Try again". Mimi waved her hand dismissing the shopper to go find another dress.

"Mimi..." Bliss groaned.

Mimi shot Bliss a sharp look.

Was everyone so incompetent these days? Was she the only person that could do anything right? It certainly seemed that way. With Jack being all out of sorts she was lucky to have kept herself sane. He never wanted to do anything anymore. He was too upset over the Van Alen girl. She was worthless. A half blood. Good Riddance. But she had an effect on Jack that Mimi was secretly jealous of. Schuyler made Jack fall in love with her when he had only been in love with Mimi for... like ever. Jack was slowly coming around and would certainly be more fun when it came time for the bonding which Charles had once again pushed back.

If Jack was depressed, well he wouldn't be after since the bonding would erase any trace of Schuyler. Forever.

"How about this?"

Bliss and the shopper both looked at Mimi with anticipation. Mimi looked up and studied the garment. It was short and fitted with one long sleeve. It was black with a navy blue ribbon around the waist. It was simple yet elegant, conservative yet sexy. It was perfect.

"Perfection..."

Bliss jumped out of her chair and gathered up her purse.

"...now go find some shoes."

Well, I know it is boring at the moment but it's the first chapter. I had to do some catch up on the characters. It will get better, I promise!
