In the streets of Manhattan, you always find the lucky ones.

Sometimes it just by chance, while others, it is luck. Lurking in the corner is always something big. What will we find in this mysterious story? Love, luck, mystery or betrayal! Someone always told me to watch my back. Guess I didn't listen to them often enough. The thing you never expected always happens first, but in this case will it happen at all?

Blair always seems at ease. I guess her new life always brings her that. Does Blair need to watch her back? Could something be taken from her or could something be given to her? Could she have something that will blow everyone's mind? Does anybody actually know? What will this mystery reveal? Will she hurt the ones she loves? Only ONE way to find out!

Chapter 1

I sit by my window now, it's Monday afternoon and I think of all the angst I've had. My father left us when I was twelve; he's never called, never written a letter or e-mail to me. He all but disappeared on us.

My mum lives at home with me in a small house in Ohio trying to earn back the small fortune we owe to the bank. She works at a local cafe as much as she can. She is really pretty too. She has those super model curls that everybody would die for with the Strawberry blond tint to her hair. She has gorgeous green eyes and full lips. Her cheek bones are strong and high-angled. She has looked after me forever. My father and my mum married when they were twenty four and had me when they were twenty five.

My sister Serena is out. She has beautiful long honey blonde hair, with no fringe. She has full lips as well. She has beautiful sky blue eyes. She is really, really gorgeous. When I say sister I don't exactly mean my biological sister. She's not related by blood but I have known her since I was eleven and she has helped me through everything with my father.

I'm now seventeen and looking to go off into college. Serena's eighteen and is going off with me to Constance. Constance is the college we both scored scholarships into. Serena didn't need the scholarship; her parents are one of the richest in the country. It was me who needed it. My father was rich. Money flowing from everywhere. He paid for everything I did without complaint. He threw away money. He had millions of dollars.

That's how I met Serena.

Serena and her parents lived in Manhattan at the exact same time as my family did. My parents had enrolled me into the finest school there was. Serena moved from New York when she was twelve. Her parents enrolled her into my school and we were best friends the moment we saw each other. We had so many things in common:

fashion,

money,

EVERYTHING WE WANTED!

Somehow it didn't matter though when my father left. She was loyal and stayed by my side throughout it all. We don't know why he moved.

One day when my mum took Serena and me out and we returned home there was nothing of his. Everything in the house had been paid for with his money and he left it all but his clothes and personal belongings. We walked to the kitchen bench and found half a million dollars there and a note. The note read:

Here is enough money for you to restart a new life in a house without me. Do something right for once. You will be asked to move out of this house in 57 days. Start packing and look for somewhere else to live. I promise that this will be the last time you hear from me. And I don't go back on my promises. Please forget me. And by the time you read this I will have tried to forget you. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Have a happy life.

Richard or daddy

We moved two weeks later to a small house in Ohio. And Serena's family followed.

Mum told her parents and they willingly moved to Ohio with us. Mum never showed me the note until I was thirteen. She told me, 'daddy's on a business trip sweetie'.

The day my mum told me was the day I believed that God had something against me.

I cried for weeks and missed at least two weeks of school. Serena came over every day and sat with me and told me everything would be okay. I found after three weeks that I was being stupid.

He left us, I always told myself. He didn't give us a reason. He just up and left. No one knew what he meant by the sentence don't make the same mistakes I did. Some people thought he meant my mum and I but others thought he meant something else we didn't know, but I just think he was a power hungry man.

So I finished school and got my High School Certificate and tried for a scholarship at NYU and Constance. Serena and I ended up getting the scholarship at Constance, so now we are packed and ready to leave on Wednesday.

So I sit here wondering what in God's name was going to happen in my life.

The next day I went shopping with Serena. I was working part time for her parents and was getting paid more than enough. I get paid fifty dollars an hour. So in my small bank account my mum set up for me when my dad left us had accumulated quite a lot of money for me. It now held $107 786.83 which is quite a lot to my mum and I. But still Serena's parents wouldn't let me pay for anything. They said I needed to save up for after my scholarship runs out in four years.

So when I wasn't studying or at Constance they were going to send work for me. They are like my second family. They accepted me for who I was and loved me for it. As usual Serena and I had so many clothes to try on and we were in a designer clothes shop so while we were in the dressing room, I started up the first conversation in five minutes.

"Serena, I'm a little worried for tomorrow"

"Why?" She gasped.

"Well I was thinking about my mum and going back to Manhattan and how everyone who knows me still is going to react. And I've only got you and Serena it's going to be so scary. I'm already trying to buy the biggest designer brands on my clothes and I don't even know who my roommate is!" I was talking to my best friend. Who is practically my sister and I'm about to burst into tears. Great going Blair, I thought.

"Calm, calm, breathe, breathe, it's going to be okay. Anyway I spoke to everyone that went to our school in year seven and no one is going to Constance. They can't afford it, they aren't smart enough or they don't want to go. And dad organised for you and me to be roommates." She explained calmly.

"You're right! Everything's going to be fine. Who knows what is going to happen in Manhattan. Anyway some better news, the shops and the boys are going to be a lot better in Manhattan."

" Yum, boys."

With those last words of the conversation we finished our shopping and headed home.

It was only eighteen hours till I drove to Manhattan.

Fantastic!

When I got home I saw mum, she was sitting in a lounge chair looking at a baby photo album. There was also many other photo albums on the floor next to the chair. I walked over to mum and sat next to her.

"Mum, I love you."

"I love you too, baby," she said. She looked up at me. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid. Blair, promise me you'll come back in the holidays. Promise me you'll call all the time."

" Mum, I will. I'll always love you. I'll call all the time when I can afford it. Come visit me, mum. It'll be magical."

" I will baby, I will. I also have something for you."

" Mum you didn't have to get me anything. You've got to look after yourself and stop worrying about me." I said firmly.

She pulled out three wrapped presents. The first one; was a box shape that was about half the size of a shoe box. The second one; was the side of a shoe box. And the third one; was a long and thin box shape.

"Here baby, open one."

"Mum how much money did you spend?"

"Just a little bit. I only wanted to get you some things that would help you in Manhattan."

" Fine. And mum, thank you"

I pulled the out the biggest box and opened it up. Inside was a beautiful, deep green dress. It was a designer dress that must have cost fortunes. And then lying under it was a lighter, lime green coat. It was long and button-downed and was also a designer coat. Mum was in so much trouble.

The next was a shoe box size box. I guess I already know what this is. I opened and to much surprise, I already knew what it was. It was a pair of shoes. They were deep green, the exact same colour of the dress. They were strappy pumps too. They had really high heels and were gorgeous. Mum had just got into a whole lot more trouble.

The next box I was kind of scared with I couldn't think of what would be that size. I pulled it open and revealed a hip top slide phone. Mum is in SO much trouble, it's not funny.

"Mum this must have cost you heaps."

"It didn't cost much. And I know how scared you are in going tomorrow and how afraid you are that you are not going to fit in. So I wanted to get you something that would calm you down. And I know you love clothes. And fashion. I checked with all the ladies at the designer shop ad they said it was in at the moment and I checked with Serena, she said it was perfect."

I looked at the dress again and realized it was my type of dress.

It was a deep V-neck line with two straps coming up to tie around my neck. It was scrunched up around the hip area and then it dropped down into different triangle lengths just above my knees for some and just past my knees for others. It was beautiful and it did compromise me.

I have gorgeous deep green eyes with a blue ring around the outside of the green. No one knew where my eyes come from. But we all think they are very special and beautiful. Lots of girls died to have my eyes. I had a chocolate colour hair which was pretty long. It was layered with a side fringe. I had full lips like my mum's as well. I didn't think I looked beautiful but Serena and mum always said I was. They liked to buy me green and blue dresses to suit my eyes.

I was hoping that some boy would think I was pretty but I doubted it.

"What's the hip top for then mum?"

"Well, I also knew how stressed you were so I wanted to get you a good phone that you could contact me on. And talk to your friends so it wouldn't cost you much. I'll even pay your bills as long as it doesn't exceed one hundred dollars each month. And I won't read your messages, I promise." She said quickly.

"It's ok mum. And thanks again for everything."

I hugged her for a long time. After that I decided to go to bed.

Twelve hours till I left for Manhattan.

Even more fantastic!
