"Serena!" groaned Blair Waldorf as she began to exit Tiffany's with her best friend Serena van de Woodson.
"I know B. But what are you going to do. I don't want to meddle in any problems you and Chuck have-again," smirked Serena as she pushed back a wisp of blond hair. A few months ago Serena had presumed Chuck had been having an affair. When it was just his new assistant.
"On Gossip Girl, he's apparently going away with Nate. To celebrate his freedom!" an astounded Blair gasped. "I gave him everything."
"Nice," laughed Serena as she tugged at her shopping bags.
"By the way, have you seen Nate lately? I would like to have a serious word with him about this."
"No I haven't. What happened to him?"
"Does it look like I know?" a despaired Blair cried.
"Don't worry B," grinned Serena as she wrapped her arm around her best friend. "We'll have our own weekend to celebrate your freedom."
Blair paused and looked deep in thought. "Didn't Jenny go to Columbia?"
"Whatever your planning Blair, don't include me." Blair looked up at her friend and smiled. "Fine! What do you want me to do?'
"Let's plan a visit."
Dan Humphrey was sitting with his best friend Vanessa Abrams, they'd be complaining about the amount of work they had to do. A while ago there had been a thing between the two of them which had caused a lot of problems between the two of them. But thanks to a little unknown help, they'd become friends again. It wasn't the same but, they still managed to hang out like normal friends do.
"I don't get any of this," groaned Dan as he banged his head on the table a little to hard forcing himself to rub his forehead.
"Well, this is the life of a college student," joked Vanessa as she took a sip from her coffee.
Dan's phone began to ring. "Hang on a second." He looked at who it was. Serena. "Hey, what do you want?"
"Do you always speak to your sister in that tone?"
"Well that depends, is she's done something wrong, bad or stupid."
"Well anyway, I was planning on going to see how Jenny's settled in. Plan on escorting me and Blair?"
"If Blair Waldorf there, I'm not."
"Come on Dan. Don't you want to see your sister?"
"Sure why not? I guess Vanessa might want to come."
"Great! We could have a little party."
"What?"
"Joking, Dan. Call you with the details."
Vanessa looked closely at her best friend. His hair was curly and beginning to cover his entire forehead. She peered at his brown eyes with concern over the top of her coffee. Vanessa cared about Dan, but she often wondered if he still felt anything for her. A couple of years ago, there had been a bit of complication between their relationship for a while. They were either with one another or not. Then there was the odd slipping into bed with one another (drunk of course). But Vanessa often caught Dan looking at her strangely, this worried her a little.
"Who was it?"
"Serena. She wants to see how Jenny's settling into the college life style."
"Right, if you say so." Vanessa shrugged and continued to drink her coffee.
Jenny blinked open her eyes. She had hoped that she could have a lie in-finally. She'd woken up way too early for a girl like herself to. Jenny was seriously thinking about getting her own flat as she watched Agnes stumble through the door with something Jenny hoped wasn't sick in her hair.
"S'up J. You look like you could do with something to drink," Agnes slurred. She bent down, her dark hair falling across her face and stood up, with some trouble, holding a bottle of vodka. "Here have some J. It can really wake you up."
Jenny raised her eyebrows. This is what she had been lowered to. Was everything bad she'd done worth this? Sharing a room with a girl who not only had destroyed Jenny's dreams, but also smelled of god knows what.
"I'm fine thanks," Jenny replied, trying to smile. "What time is it any way?"
"Dunno," shrugged Agnes as she fell onto her bed.
Jenny glanced to look at the clock on the bedside table beside her and groaned. "Agnes! It's only half five in the morning. What are you doing getting in at this time?"
But Agnes didn't bother replying but she was already asleep. Lucky her, grumbled Jenny as she tried to get back to sleep. But whatever smell was on Agnes, kept provoking her. Forcing herself to sit up and miss her lie in. Jenny sat up and grabbed some shorts and a a tank top and headed for the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she immerged looking as if she'd had all the sleep in the world. Which was not what she was feeling inside. Jenny let out a long breath of air and headed outside when she bumped into a girl she recognized.
"Hi, my name's Robyn. You live in the same building as me, don't you?" the girl asked. She wasn't as tall as Jenny, but she was quite attractive in an unnoticeable way. She had the looks of someone who had lived in luxury but didn't care. Jenny quickly scolded herself. She was reading way too much into this.
"Sorry, I don't think I've seen you around. I've been a little distracted so I haven't really noticed. I'm Jenny."
"I understand why you would be so distracted."
"You do?"
"Of course. If I had someone hot talking to me, I would be thinking about him constantly."
"What?'
"That guy you were talking to on your first day. Brown hair. Blue eyes."
Jenny stared at this girl who seemed to be a human version of gossip girl. Now that would be creepy.
"I'm sure it was you. Must be my mistake."
"Yeah," Jenny replied with a hint of uncertantity.
"S I'll see you around?"
"Sure."
With that Robyn walked off, hiding her grin. She was going to slowly gain a friendship with Jenny Humphrey and possibly Nate Archibald. She would then gain her ticket into the elite Upper East Side and then leave it, looking like a train wreck. Starting with Jenny and Nate. The ultimate disaster.
