Leanna Willimina Archibald had her whole life planned out for her. Her father had everything planned for her just as he did her older twin brother Nathaniel Fitzwilliam Archibald. The life plans of the Golden Twins were vastly different. Leah's life consisted of her going to college in two years, for something like Communication with a minor in public relations, she'd marry a political diplomat and live a comfortable life just like her mother and father. Nathaniel's life would probably lead him to follow in the Captain's footsteps and lead him to join the Navy then take over the stocks their father runs. Being the Golden Twins with so many expectations from their friends, family, and what life was to bring put stress on Leanna and Nate. Leanna knew the amount of pressure on Nate not only to keep up the image of the Archibald name and to keep her safe but to keep the high view of their father as well.

Guess what Upper-East Siders! The Archibald Family is throwing another gala. Did the Golden Twins invite you? Are you just showing up to catch a glimpse at Nate Archibald, or to see the trouble Leah can get in now? Wonder what Nate will have to get her out of this time...

We'll just have to wait and see what antics they can cause this time...

XOXO,

Gossip Girl!

"UGH!" Leanna groaned, jumping on her brother, Nate's, bed. The crisp edges from Nate making his own bed (one rule of discipline and structure put in by the Captain) "Have you read the latest post on Gossip Girl?" she threw her phone next to her as she covered her face with her forearm.

"You're remaking my bed, I hope you know!" Nate raised an eyebrow at his sister being over dramatic as always. "Lee, it's a gossip column, hence the name, get over it."

"It's more than a gossip column, Natie! It's a who's who at both St. Jude and Constance. It's a who's safe to socialize with and a who despite the money, or status is a social pariah!" Leah rolled her eyes, sitting up and straightened out her skirt. "I have a piano lesson, courtesy of the Captain, and after have a dress fitting for tomorrow night. Should I expect Charles to cause any antics on your part? Everyone blames him for any trouble you get into either way."

Nate rolled his eyes and got off his chair stepping closer to his sister. "You don't believe that... You don't believe that some stupid online blog by some anonymous weirdo, who is probably someone that reads about us in the New York Times and lives in the middle of nowhere writing about us!" he exclaimed, running a hand through his hair as their phones went off. Nate glanced down at his phone. "That's Blair, she wants to know what colors we're wearing tomorrow night," Nate scoffed.

"Trouble in paradise, brother dear?" Leanna joked.

"I am just done with me and Blair in front of everyone repeating over and over how we've been together forever and how we're going to Yale, and living the life our parents want us to live," Nate groaned falling on his bed face forward next to Leah.

"Geez, hang in there, Natie, I'll see you later." Leah left her brother to bask in the stress that was his and Blair's relationship. Ever since Serena left and came back and has been rather hung up with Lonely Boy, Dan Humphrey, Nate has been down. Leanna dealt with the piano lessons that she's been taking since she was 6 and then went to find a dress for the next night. While Gossip Girl called it a gala, it was really a big party for Leanna and Nate's birthday party to celebrate their 17th birthday. Serena had returned just in time for her and Leanna to make a big splash like old times.

Leanna sighed softly as she tried on the 6th dress. She flattened the formfitting number against her body and frowned. "I don't like the color..." She looked at the sales associate. "Do you have this in black?" The associate gave a curt nod with a tight smile and went off to find the red dress.

At that moment, Leanna's phone went off. She went over to her bag grabbing her phone. "Hey B!" she called into the phone, looking at her reflection.

"OMG! Have you read the new Gossip Girl update?!" Blair squealed. "You will never guess who will be at your party tomorrow night!"

"I'm sure Serena is inviting Dan, I don't care... That's her prerogative if she decides to thrust Lonely Boy into the Upper East Side at an Archibald event." Leah rolled her eyes unzipping the dress in front of the mirror. Did she care that she wasn't in an actual changing stall? No; not really? Not like it wasn't normal in the store for the girls to just change there.

"Ew, no! I have no idea of S's plans... Someone very special that you know very well is in town..."

"What? Who?" Leanna had just slipped off the green dress and gasped seeing a familiar face in the reflection. She dropped her phone, grabbing her shirt to cover herself. "What the hell Baizen? Get out!"

"Acting all shy now, Anna?" Carter Baizen teased, raising an eyebrow. "It's not like it's the first time I've seen you half-naked, in a rush. Leah hated that name almost as much as she hated Chuck calling her Little Archibald. Though her and Nate were twins, him being an hour and 30 minutes older made it seem like he was much the wiser.

"Don't call me that," Leanna shook her head, picking up her phone. "B? Sorry, I am dealing with a pest..." Leanna rolled her eyes glaring at Carter.

"Oh? What store are you at? I'm out shopping I can meet you!" Blair exclaimed

"I'm on Madison Avenue... Missoni," Leanna exclaimed, starting to get dressed. And B? Hurry!" As Leanna started to redress, she smiled seeing the black number she was given. She turned to Carter after thanking and excusing the sales associate.

"Why are you back here Baizen? After last Summer, I don't think I can do this again..." She pushed past him to go into one of the dressing stalls; but stopped as Carter grabbed her arm. The young girl pulled out of his grip and shook her head. "Don't!"

When Leanna gathered her thoughts and made her way out in the black dress, she saw Blair but no Carter.

"I'm assuming you saw Baizen then?" Blair took in her best friend's look. "Honey, I wish I could tell you you look amazing in that dress, but your mood puts a damper on it."

Leanna rolled her eyes as their phones went off. "Interesting Update Upper East Siders,
One of my sources, spotted Carter Baizen leaving Missoni on Madison Avenue... And guess who was said to have entered before he arrived and still hasn't left... Leanna Archibald.
Is the wild child of the Golden Twins back to her old habit, hanging all over Carter Baizen and into his world, or is she just looking for the comfort of not living up to her father's expectations. We all know what he says when introducing the twins. 'Leanna is just Leanna, she's no Nate!' Wonder how she'll handle it tomorrow night?
I'll keep you all updated,
