[Constance Billard is known for its alumni's nearly-perfect track record of getting accepted into at least one of the Ivies. But not all of the girls are on the migraine-inducing AP track. S is one of those "slackers" and so is M. Maybe they'll bond over their "easier" classes (like any classes are easy at that school!) But not too much – her BFF spot is taken. You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl]
Miranda was rushing to her first class, US History. She'd just made it to the door when another hand reached for the handle at the same time.
Serena pulled her hand away and smiled an apology. Miranda smiled genuinely back and quickly opened the door and hurried to the closest empty seat; Serena sat beside her. They had just caught their breath when the bell rang and the teacher started class. Maybe it wasn't an AP course, but the teacher still lectured on the first day.
He did, however let them talk for the last ten minutes or so, since it was the first day. There wasn't anyone from Blair's entourage in the class, so Serena, in all her friendliness, turned to Miranda, "So, you're not on the AP track either?"
Miranda smiled, closed her notebook she'd been doodling in, and faced Serena, "Nope. I don't see the point in working that hard since I'm not going to college." Serena's eyebrows flew up, "You're not? And your parents are ok with that?"
Miranda nodded, "Yea, I've already gotten some acting jobs through my dad, and I love that; but I really love modeling. I've got some contacts here in New York that I'm hoping will get me some work here on the East Coast… didn't I hear you've done some modeling? Oh, wait, you ended up just taking the clothes from the Waldorf shoot, right?"
The two girls giggled together. "Yea, that was fun, but I think Blair would be annoyed with me if I did any more." Miranda raised one eyebrow, "Really? Why? 'Cause she wouldn't have the spotlight 24/7 then? That's just ridiculous. If you love it, you should be able to do it. Just don't brag about it or whatever."
Serena bit her lip, "I guess… I just don't want to start anymore drama with her." "Well, you shouldn't be kept from doing what you love! Tell you what, whenever I get my first job here, I'll bring you along. You can blame me if Blair gets mad, and I'm pretty sure any photographer would LOVE to take pictures of both of us."
Serena smiled wider, "Sounds like a plan." The bell rang and the girls missed the snap of a phone camera capturing them smiling at each other.
[Did I call it or what?! Look at those two, smiling their heads off and bonding. How cute! Apparently they were chatting about modeling or something… but who cares! The really interesting part is how B will react… although, really, what does she have to be mad about? Isn't S allowed to have other friends? Unless M is making a move on B's throne… You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.]
Author's note: Sorry this took so long! I actually have, like, ten more chapters written, I just couldn't find this one for the life of me, and it was kinda important to the plot!! Turns out, it was in a notebook I'd left at my boyfriend's house… and we've been broken up for almost three months now! Lol, a little creepy, no? Hopefully he didn't read all of the stuff written in there! Lol, More chapters up soon, reviews/faves would help me get the motivation to type up all those chapters. Thanks peeps!
