Chapter 11

Love is in the air

Nate was at school and was getting weird stares from people at school and he looked down, trying to hide his face. What did he do this time? He pulled out his phone and read the message from Gossip Girl.

Hey Upper East Siders,

I've got some juicy news for you. N was spotted eating dinner with V and then later seen sharing a kiss in Brooklyn. Looks like the start of a hot romance. And what's our former Queen B doing in France? Various sources tell me that she and her new boyfriend Marcus have been strolling around the streets.

And Who am I? That's a secret I'll never tell. You know you love me.

Nate flipped his phone shut. He felt angry that people wouldn't leave him alone for just one second. Why couldn't they find someone else to stalk? Just then, Jay walked up to him with a smirk on his face.

"So you're dating that Brooklyn girl huh?" He sneers. "That's a big fall from Blair you know man. Why did you even break up with her? She was some hot stuff. Any of the guys here would do anything to go out with her and you…you just take her for granted and break up with her man."

Nate felt angry and wanted to tell Jay to shut up and stay out of his business, but he had a point. "I don't know man. I guess she just wasn't the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."

"What? And that ugly docu-girl is? I would do anything to tap Blair's ass." Jay smirked.

"Blair's at France you'll never get to." Nate replied, no emotion in his voice.

"Ha. And you did. What was it like?" Jay pressed.

"Uh…well…" Nate stammered. He really didn't feel comfortable talking about this. Just then the bell rang for first period. Saved by the bell. He laughed to himself at how cliché that sounded.

Blair had nearly dropped the phone when she read the message on there. Not because of the Vanessa and Nate thing. She didn't really care. But who were these so called "sources" stalking her and Marcus? Just then she heard her doorbell ring. She opened the door and there stood Marcus looking as handsome as ever.

"Hey Blair," Marcus said in his cute English accent. Blair suddenly remembered why she had called Marcus over.

"I have something for you," Blair said and with her index finger, motioned Marcus to wait where he was.

She looked for the blue cashmere sweater that she had bought and the gold heart pin she had sewn on it. She found it and quickly ran back to Marcus.

"Here. I bought you a sweater and I sowed a heart on your left sleeve so that whenever you wear this sweater, you'll have my heart on it." Blair smiled sweetly.

"Wow thanks." Marcus said admiring the sweater and Blair's great taste for fashion. Blair hadn't sewn the heart in his sleeve because she didn't want it to be like Nate's one and she thought it looked cuter on the outside.

Marcus leaned down and kissed her and she led him to her room.

"Serena!" Penelope called. Serena spun around.

"Hey Penelope, Hazel, Kati and Iz," She greeted them with a big smile on her face.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Hazel said her eyes widening.

"Why don't we hit a club?" Serena suggested.

"Oh that would be great!" Kati and Iz said in unison.

They noticed that Serena was holding some books from the library.

"Hey do you want us to drop those off at the library?" Penelope asked.

"Sure thanks." Serena beamed.

"I love your outfit." Hazel said.

"I know, it's so…" Kati was lost for words.

"…classy." Iz finished off her sentence

You know you love me
