Th first day of College would always be daunting to everyone. The only exception would that it wouldnt be daunting was if you was Elle Bass. Elle Bass was the most elegant teenager you would meet. She ws raised by Chuck and Blair Bass and was brought up with a few minor discretions in her high school years. Elle was a lot like her mother with elegant dark brown curls which now hung to her waist, a pale and un-blemished complexion and of course, her fathers wit. She was once the queen of Constance Billiard like her mother, she ruled the school with an iron fist and whoever didn't work by her rules was banished. Elle was also popular with the boys but she didnt care about anyone except herself, Tiffany Van Der Woodsen, Tom Archibald, Ethan Humphrey and her brother Sam Bass. The five of them had been best friends since first grade and had become inseperable like their parents.

Tiffany Van Der Woodsen was the daughter of Nate Archibald and Serena Van Der Woodsen but lived just with her mother. Tiffany had more of her fathers features such as her deep blue eyes and dark blonde hair that was well looked after. Tiffany was Elles best friend and was the Queens right hand woman who took over when Elle was too busy, however Tiffany had always wanted to become Queen but didnt act upon her wishes. Tiffany has been going out with Sam, Elles brother, untill the end of high school but had decided to break up because they both wanted a new start, which actually wasnt Sams decision as he still loved her and Elle knew he would fight for Tiffany untill he had her.

Sams best friend, Tom Archibald was the head of the soccer team and St. Judes and was one of the most respected boys in the school. Tom was brought up by Nate and Vanessa Archibald untill his mother was tragically killed in a car accident, however his father and himself had survived. Tom had light brown hair, which was a mix of his mothers and fathers hair. He had blue eyes and was quite tanned as he lived with his grandmother, Anne in California when his mother died. Tom is Tiffany's half-brother and were so close that people would usually think they were siblings. Tom was Elles boyfriend and had a good, healthy relationship which Elles mother believed would last untill they were out of college but Elles father didn't think that, as he didn't want his little girl growing up.

Ethan Humphrey was the new one at school. He had transfered from Conneticut where he and his mother, Jenny, lived when he was 15 and spent his last 2 years of school at St. Judes. Elle took an instant dislike because she knew there was a feud between Jenny and her mother but never knew why exactly. Ethan had brown hair, unlike his mother, and he wasnt sure why he didnt have blonde hair but Jenny had told him that it was from his father who he didnt know.

The final part of the group is Sam Bass. He lived in the Empire Hotel with his sister, Elle, his mother, his father and his little brother Joe who was 3 months old. He had hair exactly like his father and always combed it back. He had a distinctive jaw line like his father but obeyed his parents and worked hard while juggling a relationship with Tiffany. Sam worked part time as Bass Industries which would be his as soon as Chuck thought he was ready, Eleanor Wardolf Designs would be Elles and Joe would have the Empire Hotel when he was 18. which would be looked after by Sam.
