Match Made In Hell

CHAPTER SEVEN: Edward Cullen Gets A Gossip Girl 101

Bella's POV

I don't know when, and I don't know how, but someday, Alice was going to pay for this.

Man, this was awkward! But when Edward suddenly demanded to know who Gossip Girl was, I jumped. Once I regained my bearings, I prepared myself to give out yet another 'Gossip Girl 101', as Blair liked to call it.

"No one knows," I started. "Apparently, she's one of us- privileged Upper East Siders- and decided to let everyone in New York know about our lives one day. Scandal and gossip is her thing." I waited for Edward's reaction. He nodded for me to continue, his face carefully blank. "We are known as royalty where we live- Serena, Blair, Rose, Alice, Chuck, Nate, me, and a few more. Basically, anyone who's with us is automatic royalty. And because of what we are, she pays extra attention to our every step." I took a deep breath.

"Anything else?" Edward asked warily.

"She is extremely connected and has her own resources, as you have seen. She now has your ID, and your phone number. Everytime something happens to the Upper East Side, you will be notified, especially if it's big- politician scandal big."

"There are rules when you're being watched: one, never do anything embarrassing in public, or even at home, if possible, because she's everywhere. Two, beware of any new friends, because they're either her scouts, or UEA 'minions', as Chuck calls them. The Upper East Side is full of backstabbing hypocrites." I explained as his confusion was written all across his face.

"Basically, trust nobody." I concluded. "I'm so sorry, Edward." I knew it, he would be mad at me for dragging him into our world. "I really didn't mean for any of this to happen to you." He remained quiet.

"Edward, please, say something! You can shout at me, just say something." I pleaded after five minutes of silence.

"I'm not mad at you," he said finally, looking at me with…love?- in his eyes. No, that was impossible. It was probably just…umm…friendship! Yeah, just friendship…

"How could I be, charming and innocent and beautiful and kind as you are?" He murmured softly. His left hand reached up to stroke my cheek, which was beet-red by now.

"Okay…" I said uncomfortably. "Now that that's cleared up…I'm just going to drag the girls down…movie night," I said as an explanation. Edward didn't let go. Instead, his right hand caught mine, and he pulled me closer.

"Bella, can you tell me something?" He asked. My heart started running at a hundred miles an hour. I gulped, then nodded. "Why did you run away? What happened? Don't lie to me- I saw you crying."

I looked away, but he caught my eye. Damn! How could anyone resist those gorgeous green eyes? Especially when they were pleading, like now. "Won't you tell me?" He said, smirking, because he knew I could never say no to him- not when his eyes were smoldering like this.

Luckily, Alice and Rose chose this exact moment to come down. Or not, seeing as how Edward had practically dragged me into his lap. I quickly hopped off, praying that they had not seen that, though I knew it was useless.

"Come on, girls. Let's go!" I said, mock-excited. "Bye Edward!" I said casually, then ran out of the door. The girls followed soon after, and Alice drove us to the Hale Mansion quietly. But I wasn't fooled. Movie night was now girlie night, which meant that I had to spill every single detail. And if I didn't, they would get me drunk, and then I would spill.

We ran straight up to Rose's room, and she set up a connection with Serena and Blair. Alice went downstairs to get us junk/comfort food and drinks, and I wandered aimlessly to the giant bed before plopping down.

After a few minutes, Alice and Tanya, Rose's personal helper, came up. As usual, Alice had gone overboard with the snacks and Tanya had to help her. Back at the UEA, I heard Blair call for Dorota, asking her to bring snacks for them too.

"So," Serena said once we were all settled down and could see each other. "What's up?" She was nibbling a Mars bar.

"Guess what happened to Bella today?" Rose said in a sing-song voice.

"Tell, tell, tell!" Serena and Blair chanted.

But before Rose could spill the beans, our phones rang at the same time. All five of them. We groaned, then split up to get our cells before settling down again. We opened the message at the same time. Surprise, surprise, Gossip Girl.

"That happened to Bella." Rose said flatly. Because there, on our screens, was a series if pictures of me and Edward in the kitchen today. There was one where I showed him Gossip Girl, another when we were talking, one more when he stroked my cheek, and the final shot, where I was practically in his lap. It kinda looked like we were about to make out.

"Go, Bells!" Blair cheered before we all read the message.

Spotted:

BS giving EC a Gossip Girl 101…and a little something more- before their first date. Go, BS. But will this work out? I'll find out soon enough.

You know you love me.

Xoxo,

Gossip Girl.

"Oops." Blair said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I think 'oops' covers it," Alice murmured. "You still haven't told us what happened, Bells!"

I blushed deeply, then looked up at four pairs of curious and anxious eyes.

"I…We were just talking." That was the truth, right? Well, the partial truth.

Rose snorted. Blair frowned. Alice giggled. Serena gave me a you're-kidding-me look.

But before any of us could speak, another voice was heard.

"Blair?"

Chuck Bass.

I groaned. Chuck was probably worse than Blair. Scratch that, he was the only thing worse than Blair right now, seeing as how he was known for his smart-ass sarcasm.

"Hey, Chuck. You'll never guess what happened to dear little Bella today." Blair smirked.

Blair scooted closer to Serena and Chuck settled in.

Great. Now I had FIVE pairs of eyes on me.

I gulped.

So, how was it? Sorry, I'm running out of time. Will be back soon, I promise…as soon as I can. Which might not be soon at all, but I'll try my best.

REVIEW!!! You'll make me guilty for not updating. And that ALWAYS speeds up the writing.

Xoxo,

Ness.

P.S, TeenGirl is now online! It's a support group for teenage girls, managed by me, Tiff, and a mystery girl who none of us know. It's almost like a less-glam version of Gossip Girl.
