A/N: Exams end soon, then it's summer for me. Yay! I'll be updating probably more then, but I may be gone for a while, you know vacations and things. Well, hope you like this chapter.

Jenny skimmed through her closet looking for something to wear. She decided she had to wear a dress; her mother was dressed up, so she figured it was a bit formal. She had been skimming through the same things for the last five minutes. She couldn't find anything in here.

She sighed, all she had was her leather, short skirts, fishnets, which she didn't think was appropriate to wear to her mother's boyfriends house. Normally, she wouldn't have gave a damn, but this was a new start a first impression, she had to make it a good one. She remembered her father had sent boxes down of clothes she couldn't fit into her suitcase. Jenny ran to them, trying to be as quick as possible. She opened up the bag. More black, more leather, until she reached the bottom.

Jenny saw something, something she hadn't looked at since she moved into Lily's. She picked it up from the box. It was the dress. The one she had worn that night Nate had kissed her for the first time. Not some Serena look alike, but Jenny Humphrey. The night everything changed for her. Sure, she always had a crush on Nate, but she thought it would never be returned to her, she was proved wrong.

She got taken back into the memory.


"You are not my father, and you are not my brother, so why do you care so much?" Jenny asked him, furious.

"Because," Nate began, and then Jenny did the most daring thing she could. She kissed him. As soon as she realized what she was doing she pulled back, staring into his eyes. Unaware of what his reaction would be. She felt embarrassed when he let out a breath, she wanted to run away. She began to turn around when he pulled her arm back to him. He took hold of her check, drawing her in, and kissed her.

Like he had never kissed Blair, Vanessa, or even Serena. He kissed her with such passion, with all that led up to this, their friendship which builds up to the moment. The way his hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer with each second. She was no longer 'Little J' casted in the shadows of Blair Waldorf, she was Jenny Humphrey.


Her mother's knocking on the door snapped her back.

"We have to leave now, Jenny!" Alison called over to her daughter.

She wanted to stay in the memory, forever. She wanted to remain in Nate's arms, forever. She wanted to be that girl, the girl Nate cared about. She would give everything up just to be that girl.

She grabbed the dress from the box and hurried into it. She didn't even have time to apply her makeup. She ran into her bathroom quick to check herself out before she left.

She looked innocent, without the dark circles around her eyes. She looked bare, exposed. She felt odd, like the makeup was some sort of a safety blanket. Without it she felt exposed to the world. With it, she felt hidden, covered. She needed to deal with this, the new Jenny Humphrey will be exposed, bare showing to the world who she really is. Jenny reached for the eye liner next to the sink; she lifted it up in her hand, staring at the dark pencil. Staring at she realized she didn't need it. She didn't need to be covered, she needed to be her. Be herself. She then proceeded to throw it away. The new Jenny Humphrey stared back at her threw the mirror, the old Jenny, the conniving Upper East Side bitch, could hardly recognize her. This is what she had to be, herself. Be herself.

"Coming, Mom" She yelled, running out of the bathroom, grabbing shoes on the way.

This was a new start. A new her. It was time.
