Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl and Doctor Who.
A/N: Okay don't throw tomatoes at me! I know it has been a long time and there is no excuse for leaving this story the way I did. I'm posting Chapter 3 as a Christmas gift to you (if you've been waiting for me to update for over a year). I'm really sorry! The Rose-Doctor interaction would be next chapter!
Chapter 3:
Rose Tyler stared at herself in the life-sized mirror in her room. She tugged on her uniform, feeling a little bit self-conscious. Rose decided to put little make-up on as she was not comfortable with the look she used to sport a year ago anymore. Just a year of hiding in Scotland and a lot has already changed, she thought. Rose sighed and continued to tug on her uniform.
Rose was anxious and excited to go back to Tardis Institution but she did not know what to expect at all. She still can't believe she's back to London, continuing the life she left like nothing happened. No one really knew why she left and she has no plan to talk about it to anyone other than Amy. Rose groaned and sat on her bed. She knew Amy would want an explanation but she would be stubborn and ignore her instead. Rose knew she needed to think of a plan to fix their friendship. "I need to start planning now," she whispered.
"Plan what?" Jackie's voice boomed from Rose's bedroom door.
Rose jumped and clutched the wooden frame of her bed. "Christ, Mum, you gave me a shock!"
Jackie giggled and closed the door behind her and sat on the teal bergere chair at the corner of the room. "That's what you get for leaving me for a year!" Rose smiled and started to pack her new Balenciaga tote bag with school essentials.
"Are you planning a welcome home party?" Jackie asked. "You know I also love a good party, let's plan it together!" Rose chuckled. Her love of parties was nothing compared to Jackie's. Jackie is obsessed with throwing parties and being the centre of attention. Rose just loved the energy of being in a party, even if some of the parties the elite throws consist of backstabbing and insults. Nothing a glass of good bourbon can fix, Rose thought.
"By the way, are you excited to go back to school? I imagine you and Amy are going to give the Headmistress a yearlong headache again," Jackie teased. She was not aware of the fact that Amy and Rose are not in good terms since Rose left London. Amy has always been polite towards Jackie and Pete and has never said or done anything that can cause the old couple to worry about her and their daughter's friendship.
Rose's smile faltered from hearing Amy's name. Of course Amy was smart enough to keep their rift from the others. If they find out, they would be talked about in the circle and being gossiped even more (considering Gossip Girl's contribution) would definitely affect their families as well.
Rose put on a wider smile. "We'll behave, I promise!"
No need to worry.
It has been a month since the school year started but I feel like today is the REAL first day because Rose Tyler is going back to Tardis Institution! Wake up, wake up and smell the flowers boys and girls because we have to lay them down on our Queen B's feet! Only the best out of the best for our dear Rose, am I right?
What I love more about this miraculous comeback are the possibilities! Of what, you may ask? Endless fun of secrets and lies being revealed! We know there's something more to this resurrection story and I cannot wait to witness the chaos firsthand!
Wait for more updates because we all know I'm the only one you can count on!
You know you love me.
XOXO,
Gossip Girl
Amy threw her phone in her Alexander Wang backpack after reading the new Gossip Girl update. She is angry with the fact that Rose's arrival is getting so much attention and not giving her a moment of peace before seeing her in school. More than anything, Amy is angry with the fact that Gossip Girl still exists.
Gossip Girl started when they were in Year Ten. The first gossip post was about Amy and the time Gossip Girl "spotted" her kissing a girl in a small pub. Amy was only fifteen and decided to work as a kissogram deliverer to get attention from her parents and not for the money. The post got her in so much trouble because not only her parents found out, but her school also punished her for not thinking about what it would do to their school's image. That's when Amy decided that Gossip Girl is an enemy.
She and Rose were always mentioned on the website. There is not a week where Gossip Girl does not post idiotic comments about what they wear or where they are or who they are with.
No one has any idea who Gossip Girl is. The only thing Amy knows is that Gossip Girl also goes to Tardis Institution because she only posts about the students in the private school. Sometimes, Amy like to think that Gossip Girl was actually created by the faculty staff to make the students become more aware of their actions, but what Gossip Girl has done is make the students do outrageous and scandalous acts so they would be mentioned at the popular website.
"We're here," Amy's driver's voice brought her back to the present. She gave the old man a huge smile and thanked him before going out of the car. She adjusted her skirt and greeted the students good morning as they pass her by.
Amy is one of the most popular girls in school. Although most of the students in Tardis Institution are wealthy, not everyone has the capability of getting attention like Amy does. Next to Rose, she is the most outgoing, fashionable and beautiful girl in their private school and everyone looks up to her. Unlike Rose, however, Amy is short-tempered. But that only makes everyone want to please her even more. No one wants to see Amy angry because everyone would surely have an earful.
Amy reached her locker (number 666, something she and Rose had laughed at two years ago) and waited for her boyfriend, Rory, to arrive. She's fixing her lipstick on the mirror in her locker when she heard someone clear their throat. Amy stopped running her finger on her lower lip and turned to look at where the voice came from.
"I see you've kept the locker," Rose started with an amused tone in her voice.
Amy shrugged and turned to continue looking at herself in the mirror. "I see you're back," she replied. "But I guess you're done having a grand ol' time at Scotland that's why you're here."
"I know you're angry, Amy—"
"No shit," Amy retorted.
Rose rolled her eyes. "And I completely understand. We need to talk this out. Gelth Café, after school. I'll be waiting." With that, Rose stared at Amy's back for a long time but when she realized she'll never get another word from her friend she turned and left.
Amy sighed and closed her locker. She knew she would probably get the answers from Rose but she still felt a little sore towards her best friend to give her what she wants immediately. No. She'll make her wait in that café for hours before she would even show her face.
"What's with the long face?" Rory asked as he wrap his arms around his girlfriend's waist and kiss her temple.
Amy smiled sweetly. Rory was the only person that could make her smile even when she is down. Rory was there when Rose wasn't and she will always be very thankful for his presence. She told Rory about her encounter with Rose and her worries about being friends with her again. Rory listened attentively and only spoke when she was done talking.
"You were right about making her wait," was the only thing Rory said.
Amy gave a hearty laugh. "That's your only comment? To make her wait?"
Rory laughed too. "She made you wait for a year! Anyway, she's right. There's a lot to talk about and I know you miss her, love."
Amy kissed her boyfriend sweetly on the lips. Of course he's right. There's a lot to talk about and to hear. And Amy's ready to fix their friendship.
