Author's Note:
It is best if you decide to read this fanfiction, to start with Uncertainties so you won't be a little lost on what happened 17 years ago. Also as you read this story, you might find some similarities to the show Gossip Girl and I assure you that it is base somewhat off it but not completely the show. I'm only using the society it is set in but the characters are still from The OC. Also, this story is not just about Malex although they're the main focus, it will also steer towards the younger generation. :
This is my story therefor I own the right to it. However, and character you recognized belong to whomever came up with them. Those you don't, are so mine

Prologue
"C. You going to Pete's party tonight?" A young girl asked her high-class friend.
"When am I ever absent from something like that." The girl shot back, holding up her well-known smirk.
C. aka Carolyn Kelly Phillips is every guy's dream and every girl's envy. A senior at the most prestigious school in the Upper East Side, C. has establish herself since the day she step foot into the social circle. Trying to be friends with Carolyn Phillips was like trying to win a Noble Peace Prize and she never apologizes for who she is. iWho is she really? /iWell, you'll find out soon enough.
"Who's that?" An unfamiliar face in her school suddenly distracted C. Just because she didn't talk to half of her class doesn't mean she doesn't know they're there. However, this tall slender girl with long blonde hair has caught Carolyn's full attention, but not in a good way.
"Don't know. Heard she's new." one of C's clan replied. She was curious and when C's curious, she take action. Strutting her way over to the new girl in her latest Jimmy Choo, C was determined to befriend this new person.
"Hello." Carolyn greeted sweetly. "You must be new." she then flash the girl an innocent smile.
"That obvious?" The girl who looked a little startled by C's overall appearance, questioned.
"No. Small school." C pointed out still holding that smile and then did something she normally wouldn't do she introduced herself. "Carolyn Phillips."
"Oh, uh Sandra. Sandra Cooper"
Chap. 1- Rich&Spoiled
Minutes after introducing herself to so call Sandra, C. found herself ushering the tall girl around, pointing out the must do and must don't. Normally, for Carolyn to personally befriend someone they must be a positive plus to her clan or they were a major threat and she needs them under her control, for she is the fairest of them all. iRight/i. However, C. found Sandra to be a huge threat to her for Sandra is this tall, blonde walking beauty and C. can't have someone competing with her. So what does she do? She keeps them close and in check.
"Girls," C. started as she pulled Sandra over to her crew, "This is Sandra Cooper, and she will be joining us from now on" she told them and the shock on every girls' face was not gone unnoticed. Some are bitter at how this new girl can just waltz right in and be a member of their group when it took most of them all their high school career to be able to speak to C. However, if C. liked her then it was how things were going to be so each girl introduced themselves and try to get to know Sandra better.
"Cooper?" One girl questioned, "Are you related to Marissa Cooper?" she pointed out and all the girls started to perk up at the name.
"Uh, she's my mother." Sandra replied slowly, unsure how to really mention this.
"Oh my god!" the girls started to freak, "I love your mom's new line!" one girl commented, "She has great styles..." and another girl complimented as each girl started to bombard Sandra with questions.
"Girls..." C. spoke up and the girls stopped talking instantly, "Try not to suffocate our new friend now." she said, giving the new girl one of her sweet smile. All the other girls backed up and whispered among themselves. "Sorry about them, they just love you mom." C. placed a hand on Sandra and felt her flinched, "I guess you'll fit in just right." C. smiled again and Sandra couldn't help but follow suit.
Sandra Cooper never thought that people here in the states would actually know whom her mother ways, although she was rather famous for her fashion expertise over in London where she was staying with her mother before transferring here. She was so lost and confused about everything when she first arrived for she has never been to the states let alone New York. The minute she walked into those gates that protected the property of her new school, she knew she was going to have a very difficult year ahead of her. Everything was so different and everyone was very...snobby. However, the minute Carolyn Phillips introduced herself to her with those bright blue eyes and sweet little smile, Sandra knew it was going to be well worth it. The girl was beautiful, she first thought to herself. Not only is she gorgeous, the girl knew it, giving her the ultimate power. The thought that someone like that, who pretty much controls her surrounding, came up to her and talked made her feel light headed. She wasn't going to hate this place as much as she thought.
"You busy tonight?" C. questioned the taller girl.
"Uh, no?" Sandra wasn't sure what to really say. She just moved there with no friends so technically have nothing better to do.
"Well. You are now." Carolyn told her as she scribble something on a piece of paper and gave it to Sandra, "Come by after school." and with one last smile which looked more like a smirk, and C. was gone, leaving the new girl starring at the address of her new found crush. Did I mention Sandra was gay? No? Well, now you know.
School seems to have gone by way too slow for Sandra that day. She was more then eager to meet Carolyn and as soon as the old clock tower strike three she was rushing out of there. Making her way over to her driver, just like every other kid at that school, Sandra jumped in. Her phone rang it was her mother.
"Sandra?" She heard her mother on the other line.
"Hi mom. What's going on?" She said happily. Sandra and her mother are close so she's always excited to hear from her.
"I'm assuming that your first day went well..." Marissa said with a slight chuckle at her daughter's happy tone.
"Very much so." Sandra replied, "When are you coming?"
"I'm landing tomorrow night, so be sure to have the house rid of boys when I get back," her mother joke knowing that that will never happen, "and girls for that matter." Marissa added teasingly.
"Mom!" Sandra shouted back but couldn't help suppressing her smile. "Moving on, I'm going to a new friend's place so call the cell if you need me." Sandra let her know.
"New friend? Girl?" Marissa didn't want to tease her daughter but couldn't help it.
"Yes and yes. Just friends mom. Are you done, cause I need to go." Sandra didn't want her mom to push the subject.
"Fine. Ditch your mother for some new girl." Marissa pointed out.
"I love you mom. Bye..." Sandra tried ending the conversation.
"Love you too. Behave. Bye hunny." and the call were over. Sandra puffed out a sigh of relief and directed her driver to take her to the address written on the paper. About ten minutes later, her driver pulled over and let her out.
"I'll call you to pick me up later." she told him and he nodded and left. She looked up to the brown brick building guarded by massive black gates. She made her way inside and it was nothing like the outside. The outside of the building had a very antique look while the inside was more of a fancy vintage feel.
"Carolyn Phillips residence?" Sandra asked one of the clerks at the side tables.
"You must me Ms. Sandra Cooper. Ms. Phillips has inform us of your arrival and you can just take that elevator," he pointed to the one on the far right, "it'll take you straight up to her place." he finished with a delighted smile. He totally hates his job, I can tell.
"Thank you." Sandra replied, returning his smile. Following his instructions, she stepped into the large size elevator that marked 'Private'. Minutes later the doors opened, revealing a very elegant hallway. Stepping out, walking down the hallway she tried to find any sign of life.
"Hello?" Sandra uttered
"Hi!" A woman replied as she turned the corner causing her to jump a couple feet, "oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you dear." the woman apologized with a smile. Wow, everyone is just gorgeous around here. "You must be looking for Carolyn. Up the stairs, third room to your left." the woman told her, keeping that smile of hers. "I'm Alex Kelly by the way." she told the younger and walked away before letting the girl reply. Sandra made her way up the stairs as instructed and found Carolyn's room which wasn't that hard to miss considering it had a huge 'C' carved into the door. Spoiled. Sandra knocked softly and heard no reply. However, before she begins to knock again, the door swung open and there stood Carolyn in a see through robe with stylish undergarments. Sandra was in heaven.
"Good, you're here. You can help me pick out a dress." the smaller girl commanded as she pulled Sandra into her massive room.
"For what?" Sandra tried not to form larger sentences.
"Pete's formal party tonight. You're going." It wasn't so much a question but more of a demand. "I already have Rachel pick out some dresses that would fit you."
"Rachel?" Sandra asked.
"My maid. Anyways, which one do you think?" Carolyn pulled up two dresses. One was a floor length, deep v neck royal silver looking dress while the other was a deep blue, strapless dress that was short in the front but long in the back.
"That one." Sandra pointed to the silver one.
"Great minds think alike." Carolyn told her as she took off her robe and slid into dress, "Zip me." she command and Sandra was more then happy to.
"It looks great on you." Sandra commented.
"Everything does, babe. You'll learn that soon enough." C. Replied. Her modesty missing in action. "Now for you..." she strut over to the other dresses and she went through them, "no, no. Ew, no. Nope, nah, god no." She muttered as she went through each dress. "Here we go." She pulled up a gold floor length twisted halter-top. "Try it on." She gave it to Sandra who looked around for a place to change.
"Bathroom?" Sandra asked shyly.
"We're both girls, S." Carolyn said, shortening the girl's name, "I won't peak. Promise." C. said as she went into her shoes closet. Sandra felt a bit uncomfortable, but realized that she probably won't be able to get out of changing in the room so she stripped out of her school uniform as fast as she can.i Not fast enough./i
"Nice." She heard Carolyn commenting and she noticed that she was only in her underwear and bra.
"Hey! You said you wouldn't peak." Sandra shot at her, blushing light crazy.
"I lied." with a shrug, C. walked over and helped Sandra put on her dress. "You look good." C. commented, looking Sandra up and down, making the taller girl shiver at the intense stares.
"Thanks?" Sandra muttered, not knowing what else to say.
"Now, all you need is a rocking pair of Jimmy Choo..." Carolyn pulled out pair of matching gold heels. The girls took another hour or two to finish getting ready for the party, putting on make up and doing their hair. Girls will be girls. Sandra couldn't believe the person she was looking at was her. It wasn't like she doesn't doll up but never like this and how great looks. Oh no, C. is rubbing off on her already!
"We are some hot bitches." you can hear C. complimenting them as they stood, checking themselves out in the full-length mirror. Sandra just smiled; she was getting use to Carolyn being so un-modest. It was almost time to go and the two girls headed down stairs.
"Wow! You girls look amazing. Let me guess, Pete's?" Alex said as the two girls descended the stairs down to the hallway.
"Thanks Alex." Carolyn, walking over to give Alex a hug and a peck on the cheeks. "S. this is Alex Kelly..."
"We've met. I almost scared to death." Alex interrupted, "But I never got your name."
"Oh, I apologized," Sandra walked over to extend her arm, "I'm Sandra." Alex took her hand and shook it.
"Well, nice to meet you Sandra. Are-"
"Okay Alex, no time for 20 questions. We're so late." Carolyn took Sandra by the arms and yanks her to the elevator.
"Nice to meet you Ms. Kelly!" Sandra was heard yelling.
"Alex." Alex replied, smiling at the girl. She turned to go back into her study but what she heard next stopped her in her tracks.
"Come on Sandra Cooper, you're going to be known tonight." She heard Carolyn saying before both girls stepped into the elevators.
"Cooper?" Alex repeated, wide eye.
Alex Kelly wasn't expecting this. A mini Cooper.
