A Few Weeks Later…
…
"Imbeciles," Blair fretted as she secretly followed Nate and Vanessa into the Plaza, "You're surrounded by imbeciles."
…
"I know, right!" Vanessa giggled.
Nate laughed. It felt great to get out of the house. Vanessa had become such a good friend to him in the past month. He would always be eternally grateful.
Like him, she was also dealing with her own bout of heartbreak. The two of them had sort of developed their own little club. Since both of them had been spurned by a Humphrey.
"I'll be right back," Vanessa excused herself.
Nate nodded and watched as she left for the bathroom.
He returned to the plate of food in front of him.
The sound of a chair shuffling, caused him to look up.
"Mind if I join you?" Blair asked sweetly.
Nate opened his mouth to respond.
"Thanks," Blair interrupted; taking a seat.
Nate closed his mouth, furrowed his eyebrows, and smirked. "What's up Blair?"
"Vanessa!" Blair grilled, laying right into him.
Nate blinked; confused. "Hunh?"
"Why?" Blair muttered. "Why her!"
Nate could only manage an open mouthed stare. What the hell was she talking about!
…
"So," Rufus began. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
I'm pregnant, Jenny thought silently.
Dan stared at her intently.
"I-I…" Jenny began hesitantly.
Rufus arched an eyebrow, while Lily inched forward uncomfortably on the couch. Her eyes racked over Jenny's and rested on her stomach.
Jenny paled. Could she know?
"What's wrong Jen?" Dan asked.
Rufus folded his arms in front of him and donned Jenny a cautious glance.
"I…I'm…" Jenny stammered.
Lily's lips drew together in a grim line.
"I've decided to transfer out of Parsons. There's this amazing fashion school in Milan, and I've been accepted," Jenny blurted.
…
"Blair."
Blair froze mid rant and looked up at Vanessa.
Blair plastered a fake smile on her face, "Vanessa," she greeted shortly.
"You're in my seat," Vanessa replied.
Blair rolled her eyes, but got out of the chair. "I was leaving anyways."
Vanessa made a face at her, one which Blair returned.
"I'll see you later Nate," Blair bided. "And remember what we talked about!"
Nate stared at her incredulously as she left.
"What was that about?" Vanessa asked, with a laugh.
"I have no idea," Nate breathed, "She completely attacked me. She thought we were dating."
Vanessa laughed, but then straightened, "And she was upset about that?"
"Yeah," Nate corroborated.
Vanessa arched an eyebrow, "Do you think that she…"
Nate looked at her anxiously, "That she what?"
"That she's in love with you," Vanessa finished.
Nate blinked, but then the two of them burst out laughing.
"Of course not!"
"I was just playing!"
