Hey Guys! So I'm giving this story a re-write!

I was not happy with how I wrote the plot, and some of the things I mentioned did not fit with my plans for its future. I didn't really change too much, I just made it all flow better and gave you a little more insight to the character's thoughts. I hope you all enjoy, whether you are new to the story or are returning. Thank you all so much!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.

Good morning all. Yes it's that time of year again, the time that every high schooler dreads. The summer is over and now it's time for another year of high school, but more importantly another year of me. I know you've all missed my Gossip Blasts and I'm sure you're craving more, but sadly I don't have any new nail biting gossip. Though I do have some extremely good news! I've decided to give you all a fresh clean start. That's what this school year is going to about? New chances. So let's get started by giving our incoming freshman some tips on how to enjoy high school...

1. Don't try to fit into groups where you don't belong. Because I will be there to catch all of your mishaps and failures, it's what I do best. Instead be with and enjoy the group of friends you have now. Trust me you're going to need them.

2. Stay away from serious drama. If not, then don't be upset when it shows up on Gossip Girl. Because FYI your life in high school will become public to the whole school. So stay drama free or don't get pissed.

And last but not least...

3. Enjoy your last day of summer, because entering high school with me can kind of be like hell.

Well there you go freshies. Enjoy high school. And a happy fresh start to everyone else. May your year be better than last. But I seriously doubt that.

XOXO -Gossip Girl

Sonny's Pov: I pressed the submit button on my computer screen, and watched as people started to show up online. A feeling of excitement rushed over me. I loved watching everyone in my stupid school scramble to see what gossip Gossip Girl had to share. And by the comments on the message board I could already see that things were going to get interesting this year, though being the mastermind behind the biggest gossip blog site in this town gave me the upper hand. Yes, if you hadn't already figured it out, I am Gossip Girl. I am the hands behind the keyboard that records and sends out every whisper or juicy secret that our towns one and only high school has. There is rarely a secret that I don't know about, and it's been this way for about the past four years.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that I have been doing this for so long, but to be honest it kind of took over before I had a chance to stop it. The day that I enabled direct messages I started receiving all kinds of gossip from my fellow classmates, and before I knew it I had so much gossip I didn't know what do with it, so I posted it. I figured if a student was stupid enough to send it to me then they must want everyone else to see it. I've always believed if you have secrets, don't share them, people will only use them against you, hence Gossip Girl.

Though I am not doing this completely on my own. For most of the first year I kept it a secret, but I finally knew too much that I needed to share it with someone (and yes I know I contradicted myself since I shared the biggest secret in this town, but are you telling me you wouldn't have told anyone about the messages you received? I don't think you know how hard that really is) so I told my two best friends. At first they weren't too happy with me and they were appalled that I could do this to other students in our school, but after reading a few messages they found themselves in just as deep as me. So we've been running it ever since. And before you judge us and say that we're bad people, I want to remind you that we don't find this stuff on our own. Everything we post comes from everyone in the school. It's the school that craves the lies, the love, the drama, and the gossip. Gossip Girl wouldn't exist if it wasn't for them.

Looking at my computer screen again I scanned through the comments and couldn't help but laugh at how rallied up everyone was getting over a post that was probably the nicest thing I'd ever posted. People were writing things like: "Our summer break is over, and the bitch is back...Run!; This is the calm before the storm; I thought she was gone. We haven't heard from her all summer and then we're sent this cryptic message?; Who does she think she is? We should be the one giving her a fresh start!" There were about a hundred more that read similar to those. It's always fun to watch them squirm.

I was going to continue reading the messages but I was interrupted by my phone ringing. I walked over to my dresser and saw one of my besties' name on the screen, Penelope. I answered it, "Hello?" I couldn't help but smile because I knew why she was calling.

Taking a seat back in my desk chair I heard her answer, "I saw the post." She was giggling with excitement, "It's nice to see Gossip Girl up and running again. Are there any special plans that she might have for our final year of high school?" She always loved talking about Gossip Girl like she was another one of our friends (though I had picked up on it too), it just reminded me of why Pen loved this so much. She craved drama, so did the rest of the school, but Penelope's craving for it was different. It wasn't so much about who did what for her, but rather that she knew it all. The more she knew the more excited she got.

"In fact," I spun around in my chair, "she was thinking we would make it one hell of year."

"I am so down for that!" She squealed on the phone. Okay maybe she was more excited than I thought. I could hear her calm herself over the phone, "Can you believe that we're finally seniors?"

"No. But I do believe that I am ready for it to be over and done with. Though I will miss having Gossip Girl with me along the way." Since I was graduating at the end of the year Gossip Girl would graduate with me. I wasn't planning on staying in this town any longer than I had to, and if I wasn't going to do it then she would just simply disappear. It was sad to think that after all this time she would just become a memory in the school's history, but I had never originally planned for her to last this long and I knew I had to let her go eventually.

"Well," she drug out the word, "she might not be with you, but she still could live on in the school at least?"

"What are you talking about Pen?"

"You could always just ask Dakota to carry on the tradition. I'm sure she would be happy to it." I knew she was smiling over the phone.

I signed, "Pen I already told you, I don't want her getting involved with this. It's bad enough she already knows I'm behind it. I don't want to go off to college worrying if someone might end up branding her as Gossip Girl forever."

"But-"

I cut her off, "No buts, she is off limits." Dakota was my younger sister by 3 years. She was actually starting her freshman year of high school this year. And because of this Penelope has been pushing me to ask her to take over when I leave. If I really had a say I wish she didn't know I was Gossip Girl in the first place, but she figured it out herself. My sister was smart that way.

I was about to say something else to Pen but I heard my phone beeping, "Hold on Pen I'm getting another call." I looked at the caller id and saw it was Tawni, my other bestie, "What's up?"

"Do you happen to have Penelope on the other line with you?" I could hear urgency in her voice.

"Yeah, why?"

"Three way. Now." I knew something was up, especially since she needed to talk to both of us.

I connected Pen into the conversation, "Alright were all here. What's up?"

There was a pause on the phone for a moment followed by screams of excitement, "We are back bitches! I saw the Gossip Girl post and let me tell you I have a feeling senior year is going to bring us the best gossip of all time!" Tawni screamed into the phone. I don't think I'd ever seen her this excited before but it made me laugh.

"I know! I'm so pumped!" Pen joined in with Tawni's screams.

"Alright girls calm yourselves. This year is not gonna be good based on the gossip, but on what we choose do. I posted the fresh start because that's what we're all gonna do. It's a new year, our senior year no less, so lets make it a good one for us." I smiled knowing that was all a load of crap. The gossip was the only exciting thing about this town and I couldn't wait for it. Though the idea of a fresh start was really tempting. There are a few things I'd like to forget completely from my past.

I heard Pen choke out a laugh over the phone, "Well lets say I believe all that crap that you threw out there, I think if we choose to give Dakota the reigns of Gossip Girl the year would be even better."

"Penelope, I already told you no. Now let it go." She was starting to get on my nerves about it.

"Sonny," Tawni said calmly. This meant she was about to get me to see things rationally. "I know that you want to protect Dakota, but I also know that you don't want to see Gossip Girl just vanish. I'm not going you to push you into making a decision like some people."

"Hey!" Penelope yelled to defend herself.

Tawni ignored her and continued, "But I think you should give the option some thought. And I mean we kept Gossip Girl a secret all these years, you honestly don't think Dakota couldn't do it too?"

She was right to some degree. In fact I knew Dakota could keep Gossip Girl a secret and I knew she could take care of it. She was strong. I would know, I mean part of her strength is because me. Sometimes I think my choices made her grow up faster than she should have, but now was different. I didn't want to force this thing I've created onto her just because I don't want to see it die. She needed to have a normal high school life, since the years before hadn't been all that normal. "I'll think about it," I finally responded to Tawni. "But I wouldn't get your hopes up. Anyways, I've gotta go. A shit ton of messages are being sent to Gossip Girl and I wanna read through them before tomorrow. I'll see you guys in the morning." I didn't really have any messages but I was done talking on the phone.

"Okay," they said in unison.

"See you tomorrow," Tawni said.

"Senior year here we come!" Pen said with excitement and we all hung up the phone. I looked at the Gossip Girl post one more time and smiled. It was going to be a good senior year...I hope.

My alarm went off at 6am and as I dragged myself out of bed and I suddenly realized I had no excitement for school. Senior year or not, it was way too early to up and moving. Somehow I managed to shower, do my make-up, and get dressed while being half asleep. I choose to wear a white halter summer dress that fell to about my knees, and some simple white sandals. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked feminine. Walking downstairs towards the kitchen I could smell the coffee.

"Thank god there is coffee," I said while I reached for a mug and started pouring myself a cup.

"Has it been a tough morning?" my mom asked in a sarcastic tone, knowing very well that I was already struggling with getting out of bed this morning.

"Ha. Ha. Real funny mom." I stuck my tongue out at her. "Where's Dakota? We're gonna be late to school if she doesn't hurry up."

Dakota walked into the kitchen wearing a cute floral pink dress, "I'm right here calm down."

She walked over to grabbed herself a cup of coffee but mom stopped her before she even started pouring, "Oh no no no. You are not drinking coffee."

"Why not? I'm in high school now." She crossed her arms and started pouting like a little girl.

"Yes you are, but it's your first day. Why don't we save the caffeine addiction for later in the school year." Dakota rolled her eyes and started to walk out of the room. She was going to fit in great at our school.

"Sonny!" I heard Dakota yell from the front door. "I thought we were gonna be late?!"

"I guess that's my cue to leave." I took the coffee to go and grabbed my bag. "By mom," I said giving her a kiss on the cheek walking out of the room.

"By girls, have a good first day!" I heard my mom yell back as we were leaving the house. I'm pretty sure she was gonna say more but I had already closed the door behind us.

We both got into the car and I headed towards the school. The school wasn't too far from our house, but it was far enough for us to have to drive. For most of the ride we sat in silence until Dakota finally spoke up. "So I saw the Gossip Girl post?"

"I figured," I laughed lightly. "What'd you think?"

She paused for a moment, "I thought you went a little easy on everyone considering you really haven't posted much this summer. Though I did find it funny that there was such an uproar from the school even though you really didn't post any gossip."

I couldn't help but smile at her response. She was so much like me when it came to Gossip Girl, it was why my friends were pushing so hard for me to ask her to take it over when I'm gone. "I'm glad to see that you find humor is our school's distress."

"Distress?" She laughed, "If this causes them distress I don't want to know how they'll react when things get worse."

"It can get pretty interesting at times," I said as I pulled into the parking lot of the school. I parked the car and looked at her, "But in all seriousness, please don't get yourself caught up in too much drama. I don't wanna see things being sent in about you, okay?"

"Sonny do you even know who you're talking to?" She placed a hand over her chest as if she was offended by my comment.

I laughed, "I know. I was just reminding you." We stepped out of the car and I watched her walk toward the main building. "Oh and have fun Dakota!" I yelled to her.

"Don't I always?!" She turned towards me and yelled back sarcastically, and then continued walking. I laughed and shook my head, and then made my way to my locker.

All the way there I heard the whispers about Gossip Girl's latest blog post. I was the talk of the school, or Gossip Girl was anyways. I couldn't help but smile though. It was such a great feeling to know that I could basically make the school self implode at any second, all I had to do was type some words out onto a blog and bam! Everyone goes crazy. When I reached my locker I saw that Pen and Tawni were there waiting for me. Our lockers were close together so it didn't surprise me.

"Hey girl" Pen spoke first putting on that mischievous smile of hers.

"Relax Penelope, your smile might start sending the wrong message." We all laughed together.

As I put some of my stuff in my locker Tawni asked, "So who is going to be our first victim of the year?"

"Oh yeah," Pen said with excitement. "Who do you think is gonna be the first to screw up?"

I smiled while shaking my head, "Does it really matter?" I closed my locker and faced them, "Either way Gossip Girl will write about it and the explosion after will be priceless." They nodded in agreement and Pen was gonna say something more but the warning bell went off before she had the chance. "Come on let's go to class. We'll have to wait for the drama to come to us." We started to walk to our first period, English - shoot me now please.

We took our seats in class, of course making sure to sit near one another, and I was about to ask them both a question but I was rudely interrupted when he walked. Everyone's eyes were on the gorgeous blond with blues eyes, otherwise known as Chad Dylan Cooper. He was the it man of the school that was for sure: quarterback of the football team, body of a greek god, and Mr. Popularity himself. Every girl wanted to date him and every guy wanted to be him. He had always been the talk of the school, especially when he transferred back freshman year. Everyone adored him, including Gossip Girl - but not because he was hot, mainly because he was involved in the most drama. I watched as my two best friends stared at him in awe. I rolled my eyes and made a scoffing noise, making my disgust for him clear.

"Sonny why do you dislike Chad so much?" Tawni asked. Looks like I had gotten their attention back somewhat.

"Yeah, I mean just look at him. I swear he has to be the sexiest man alive." Pen said and I was pretty sure she was drooling a little.

"I have my reasons."

"Yeah you say that, but you've never told us those reasons?" Tawni looked at me expecting me to finally answer that question for them. For four years I have made my disgust and hatred for Chad clear to my best friends, but I never took the time to explain to them why. But I swear I have good reason to hate Chad. Way back when, yeah I'm talking like elementary school years, Chad and I were actually best friends. I mean we were attached at the hip. I don't think I've ever been that close to anyone, except my family, like I was with Chad. We told each other everything and I'm pretty sure that boy and I were in love (if you can consider five year olds actually having an understanding what love is). But then we turned eleven and Chad and his family just took off, and I mean literally took off. The summer before we were going to start middle school he was just gone. I tried to call him, email him, but I never heard anything back. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and I wasn't even a teenager yet. I spent the next years in pain. Then something changed, he came back. Halfway through freshman year he transferred back to our school and I suddenly had hope. Hope that maybe my questions of his sudden disappearance might be answered, that was until he completely ignored me. He turned his back on me and pretend like I didn't even exist, so my once love turned into bitterness and resentment. Something I tended to express quite often.

All this time though, I have never told my best friends this. We may be besties but I don't tell them everything, in fact I'm pretty good about keeping my feelings and secrets hidden from everyone else. It's partly what makes me so good at being Gossip Girl. "I've told you, he's fake." I lied. "He acts like this amazing guy, but underneath all that he's just a two faced liar." Okay, maybe it wasn't a complete lie.

"Do you have any proof?" Tawni responded and raised an eyebrow.

"I shouldn't need proof you're supposed to be my best friends."

"Yeah well," Tawni was dragging out the words.

"The hotness of that man trumps our friendship, so we need proof." Pen finished for Tawni.

"Thanks," I said laughing it off. "But really my hate for him goes with his sidekick," I began to say as she walked into the room. "And speak of the devil herself."

Portlyn Richards, aka Miss Popularity. Since Chad was the it guy she was the it girl. She was a tall brunette with hazel eyes. Even though I hated myself for it, I had to admit that she was pretty. But her popularity was more than her looks; she was cheerleader captain, president of student government, and Chad's infamous girlfriend of almost four years now. Though her most redeeming quality was she was the biggest bitch I have ever met in my entire life. (Portlyn and I have our history together though, but I try to forget about that. Those were some pretty dark days.) But biggest bitch means the most gossip and drama. So yeah you could say she ends up on Gossip Girl quite a bit.

"Damn," Pen sounded disappointed. "I was hoping she died over the summer." I knew Pen was just joking but I found it to be extremely funny.

"Even if she had," I said leaning towards her, "do you think you would have had a chance?" She playfully hit me and we all just laughed.

The class finally settled down into their seats as the teacher, Mr. Pike, spoke to the class. "Welcome back everyone, I'm sure you guys are all very excited to be back." He laughed lightly at his own joke and then continued when he got no response. "Anyways, I want to go ahead and get right to business, senior projects. Senior year is about making memories yes, but it is also about making an impact and that it what your projects are going to show. So please stand up and come to the front of the room, and as I pair you off take a seat with your partner. Oh and before I go any farther let me remind you there is no switching partners, principals orders." We all walked up to the front and you could hear the groans in room. "Okay so here we go."

I began to stare off into space as he went through names that weren't mine, all I hoped for was someone that didn't make me want to stab my eyes out. Two names did catch my ear though, "Tawni Hart and Portlyn Richards." I could almost hear Tawni's internal screams from within. Even though our opinions on Chad differed, our one's on Portlyn did not.

'I'm sorry' I mouthed to her as I watcher her and Portlyn take a seat next to one another. Well nothing could be much worse than that right. Then I heard Mr. Pike speak my name, "Sonny Munroe and Chad Dylan Cooper." No! This could not be happening.
