Gossip Girl 2
Whisper Sweet Nothings….
"I thought we were friends…."
"Let me guess, you already know who she is"
"Oh come on Nathaniel, the girl that you were starring at...."
"Next to ugly, fat and stupid? Or...."
"We better head over to the field now Abs" Selena said, picking up her shoulder bag. Abby nodded, pulling her backpack out of her locker. Abby didn't care what kind of bag she had, well she did, but not the way Selena did. She had told Abby once that having a shoulder bag, is completely different from the original backpack, to that piece of information she just nodded because sometimes Selena just needed someone to listen to what she had to say, and if they commented that was fine, if not it didn't really phase her. Abby did both, mostly just listened though, unless it caught her attention. Pulling her un-cool backpack on to her shoulders, Abby shut her locker, and locked it.
"So when is your mom coming home from her trip and where is she again?" Selena asked.
"Paris," Abby simply stated. Her mother had gone back to Ohio to pick up some things and finish everything she needed to do. She told Abby that she'd be back before school had started but she wasn't holding her breath, and now she was three weeks late. Knowing her mom she would be bringing her back something, and they'd go out for dinner and everything would be fine again. As for her Dad, well he's out touring the world and not in a band either. Jacob DaCarr was an actor, romantic comedy called. Kissing in the Rain Abby hadn't a clue what it was about; expect that her dad was one of the main stars, and that he was the brother to the main character and his character, which she caught the name of, was Philip who was falling in love with his brother's girlfriend. She'd see it when it was completed.
As the two of them headed down the stone steps and out the front door, Abby remembered that Selena had, had that lunch with the in crowd today. Selena was probably dying to tell her about it. "So, how did lunch go? I know you're dying to tell me ever since you sent me that text," Abby asked, as they rounded a corner on to Main Street.
"It was good" Selena stated.
Abby actually couldn't think much past that sentence, because she didn't understand why the lunch was so important to her friend. She was trying to think of an appropriate question to ask, since she thought that was what Selena expected from her so she could go into all the details about the social event of the day but then she noticed Selena seemed more involved in her cell phone.
"Well, how did it go? Are you in? Or is there a test you have to do to "prove" yourself." She asked.
Selena smiled, as she heard Abby's question, and tucked the cell phone into her pocket, apparently whatever was interesting her wasn't that important. Abby wouldn't know as her own cell phone had died during third period.
"Oh it was great. Blair, who is the Queen Bee told me that I had potential and that if I come to the party she's hosting on Saturday and show her what I've got she'll definitely consider me as one of her protégés.
Abby nodded, looking around as all her classmates were leaving. The boys from St. Jude's had come out also. She began looking casually around on the off chance she might see Nate, as she had done every chance she had since that day two, three weeks ago when they had collided in the hallway. She couldn't get him out of her head. While she was listening to Selena go on about how the start of her lunch had gone from start to finish-she tried to listen really she did, but her mind kept wandering.
She caught little bits like, why Selena had to wait two weeks to get a lunch to what they were wearing. That's when she saw him heading towards a limo that was parked about a half a block away from where they were. She couldn't help but watch as he talked to the same boy from before on that first day. She realized he had short black hair, pushed to the side, and she had to squint, but she noticed the dark chocolate eyes too. He seemed to be smirking about something, that's when she noticed Nate Archibald looking over in their direction. He made eye contact and gave Abby a grin followed by a wave. She thought she saw him mouth a "hi" and waved back.
"Abby! We're at the field" Selena stated.
Abby looked back over at Selena. "Huh? Oh yeah right" she glanced back over to where Nate was but saw nothing but the limo pulling out.
Nate Archibald was sitting in his best friend's limo, staring out the tinted window at everything that was going by. Chuck had invited Nate over and he gladly accepted.
"So who's the girl Nathaniel?" Chuck asked with that smirk of his.
Nate looked over at his friend, and gave a half smile. "What?"
Chuck smirk widen. "Oh come on Nathaniel, the girl that you were staring at before you got in the limo, the same one that you saw in the hallway two Thursdays ago."
Nate looked over at his friend, of course Chuck would know, he always knows most things about everyone, in case it came in handy later, but he hadn't had time to think about the new girl- alright, that was a lie, but he hadn't had time to talk to her, let alone get what her name was. He was still trying to figure out what he and his mother were going to do, since they still had family problems and his Dad was still out of the country. Anytime he had to talk to her, was either taken up hanging out with his friends, or with his family? He could have asked Blair what her name was but he didn't really like the idea of Blair knowing whom he might be interested in. It could turn out bad.
"Let me guess, you already know who she is," Nate said.
"Nathaniel, you know me too well," Chuck Bass stated.
Sometimes, Nate thought. Nate thought he knew Chuck fairly well. Once you hung out with him as much as Nate did, you tended to be able to read him pretty easily, although there were times when some of the crazy things Chuck did absolutely amazed even Nate. Knowing Chuck would continue he didn't bother to give an answer.
"Her name is Abigail DaCarr, daughter of Jacob and Emily DaCarr" Chuck glanced sideways at Nate as Nate played with his cell phone trying to give the appearance of not really being interested in what Chuck was saying.
"She lives no more than three blocks away from you Nathaniel" Chuck's smirk appearing on his face once again. "After Serena, Blair, and that girl Vanessa," Chuck stated.
Nate rolled his eyes at how Chuck pronounced Vanessa's name.
"Including the Duchess Catherine, you're initiated to tap some ass," he finished "Because if you won't…" Chuck didn't even bother to finish that sentence, knowing Nate knew exactly what he meant.
Nate looked over at Chuck; he did know what he meant. Chuck's attitude towards females left a lot to be desired as far as Nate was concerned. Nate considered Abigail DaCarr very attractive, and thought the possibility of getting to know her better interested him. Nate hadn't thought Abby was really Chuck's taste, but knowing Chuck the way he did a girl didn't need to be Chuck's taste in order for him to view her as a conquest.
"Alright, I'll go see her tomorrow," Nate said, with a grin.
"That's my boy" Chuck replied, with that the car came to a stop and both boys got out.
"Well? What do you think?" Selena asked as she twirled around in her little lime green baby doll dress, made by Umberto Macalvi.
After they finished at the try outs-which they wouldn't know the results of till next Tuesday they headed over to the mall. Selena wanted to try on dresses for the party that this 'Blair Queen Bee' had invited her too.
"It looks fine" Abby stated with little interest- sitting backwards on the chair, they had been there for going on two hours now. Abby loves going shopping, just like any other girl, but she told her best friend that she looked good in all 32 dresses she'd tried on and they still had shoes to get yet and since she wasn't invited to the party, she'd gotten bored ten minutes ago.
"Fine! It looks fine! You know that I don't like the word fine! It's a horrible word. Chuck it in the pile with the rest of them."
Abby smirked as she waited for her red-haired friend to remove the dress. "Next to ugly, fat and stupid? Or beside dense, overweight and hideous?" If she was going to sit here for another two hours she was going to find something to amuse her.
Selena gave Abby a look before throwing the dress at her. "Ha-ha, they all mean the same thing, just put the dress in the pile"
Catching it, Abby said "Alright. Put the hideous blue cross-bust dress on, trust me it'll look better than the 'fine green one', also it'll make your boobs look bigger" Abby added knowing Selena would take it. "Plus, it'll go great with your eyes!" she said digging though the pile of clothes.
"Really? Why didn't you say that before?" Selena questioned, a small smile creeping up along her jaw line. "Fine, give it to me!" Selena said grabbing it from Abby's hands, and heading back in the change room.
Selena came out dressed in her school uniform, since they hadn't gone home- with dress in hand.
"Alright, got the dress, now the shoes. Marco Caleb's Jimmy Choo's and then we'll head home" Selena smiled. "I was thinking, the water snake leather sling back, I heard they were on sale,"
Abby laughed, as they head to the front desk.
