Alana sat down under a lone oak tree. "Hello Alana." Serena said tears streaming freely down her cheeks. As Alana looked up from her book (The Great Expectations to be specific) she tilted her head to the side in confusion, as if to ask Serena 'Why are you crying?'. Serena sighed sitting next to Alana. "Dan and me had our first fight." Serena explained. Alana awkwardly patted Serena's shoulder making Serena laugh through her tears. It seemed Alana still was bad with emotions, her own or otherwise.

"Have you ever been in love?" Serena blurted out. Alana's jaw hung open shocked and slightly taken aback by Serena's question. "Sorry that was a-" Serena started. "Yes." Alana interrupted her. Now it was Serena's turn to be shocked. Somehow, Serena had always seen Alana as a emotionless innocent little girl. "Who?" Serena asked interested. Alana simply shrugged in reply, regretting answering the question. Especially, when she could have just ignored Serena and gone back to The Great Expectations.

"Who were you in love with?" Serena asked again. Alana just went back to her book. "Oh come on, Alana you can tell me." Serena smiled. Alana rolled her eyes. Serena then picked up her new phone to text Blair.

S the Bestie: Alana was in love with someone. But she won't tell me who...
Best Friend For Life: Leave her b S.
S the Bestie: But what if it was u?
Best Friend For Life: i told u i only think of her as a friend.
S the Bestie: U expect me to believe u? i can see right through u, B.
Best Friend For Life: i love Nate. i'm 100% straight.
S the Bestie: So you say. But i see the way u look Alana.
Best Friend For Life: As a friend. i told u, S.

Serena sighed. She hated seeing her friend in denial. Then, Alana's phone pinged. Alana picked it up.

Basstard Brother :P : Meet me The Empire
"Innocent" Bass Sis: Be there in 10. Thnx for saving me.
Basstard Brother :P : ?
"Innocent" Bass Sis: S is with me. Asking about my love life... :(
Basstard Brother :P : Haha karma's a bitch.
"Innocent" Bass Sis: i h8 u...
Basstard Brother :P : Me 2...

"I have to go." Alana mumbled standing up. Serena sighed. "Okay see you later."

-At The Empire 10 minutes later-

"I need you to find out why Blair's been acting so weird." Chuck ordered. Alana frowned in confusion. "Only so I can tell Gossip Girl obviously." Chuck muttered rolling his eyes. Alana smirked and rolled her eyes along with a mock salute to show she was on board...

-The Next Day-

Alana sat down in between Blair and Jenny. Blair's breath hitched in her throat making Serena smirk. While Jenny frowned in confusion. "Do you know what's up with Blair?" Jenny whispered to Serena looking at Blair carefully. "She is lovesick." Serena whispered back. "With Nate? But he isn't here." Jenny whispered in reply. Serena cleared her throat. "She's thinking of him." Serena whispered back.

Alana smiled secretly to herself as she overheard Jenny and Serena's little conversation. Serena really was a terrible liar.

"Innocent" Bass Sis: B loves someone other than Nate...
Basstard Brother :P : Do u know who?
"Innocent" Bass Sis: Not yet... But i'm on it.
Basstard Brother :P : Good u better b
"Innocent" Bass Sis: By the way S knows and we both know she's a terrible liar.
Basstard Brother :P : K u better start asking her. Even if u have to let a few secrets loose...

Alana looked anxiously down at her phone but plastered a fake smile on her face. Then Alana, looked closely at Blair. Who could the lucky person be? Alana's eyes widened at the word 'lucky'. What was wrong with her?

Blair looked at Alana confused. In a matter of seconds, Alana had been happy, anxious and then surprised. What could be going on? And why couldn't Blair tear her eyes away from Alana?

Basstard Brother :P : i'm warning u. Find out soon...
"Innocent" Bass Sis: i'm not sure i can...
Basstard Brother :P : Y not?
"Innocent" Bass Sis: It just feels too weird...
Basstard Brother :P : And it didn't before?
"Innocent" Bass Sis: Whatever. i'll do it.
Basstard Brother :P : U better or i might let slip a few more secrets than S will learn.

Alana tapped Serena's shoulder and motioned for Serena to follow her. Serena frowned in confusion. "See you later B." Serena said slowly. Blair waved with a fake smile on her face. What did Alana need with Serena? And why did Blair care so much?

"What is it you need?" Serena asked curiously. "Who does Blair love?" Chuck asked butting into the conversation. Alana left them to talk alone. "Why would I tell you?" Serena retorted crossing her arms. "I have a picture of you an Nate kissing." chuck threatened. Serena's eyes widened. "You wouldn't..." Serena said horrified. "I would." Chuck replied. "Why do you want to know anyway?" Serena asked crossing her arms. "Because I like to know everything." Chuck smirked.

"Your sister. But you can't tell a soul." Serena replied sighing. Chuck felt an indescribable ache in his heart. But why? He didn't care for Blair. Right? "Thanks." Chuck replied forcing a smirk onto his face before walking away.

Basstard Brother :P : i have all the info i need.
"Innocent" Bass Sis: who was it?
Basstard Brother :P : i promised i wouldn't tell...
"Innocent" Bass Sis: u're getting soft
Basstard Brother :P : i just don't want to bother ur precious little mind
"Innocent" Bass Sis: whatever u say brother...

Alana sighed at the text message. For some reason she felt a need to know who Blair loved. "Where's Serena?" Blair asked. "Went to the bathroom." Alana lied. Blair nodded. "Okay." Blair replied.
