Author's note: Aren't you proud of me? Two chapters in one day! Reviews would rock! Again, I own nothing, otherwise the second season would have been completely different and Chuck and Blair would have happened waaayy sooner.

[ Phew! There's the bell, thank God! So, what's gonna happened after school? Better make some plans fast, cuz you know no one as homework yet… You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl. ]

Miranda opened the door from her last class and walked as fast as she could towards the courtyard. She whipped out her phone and texted Gigi, "Omigod! I hate school so much!" She had just pressed send when she accidently ran into a boy who'd just walked into the school from the courtyard.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" She quickly slid her phone into her jeans pocket and looked up to see one of the cutest smiles ever. "It's totally fine, I wasn't paying attention either," his smile got a little wider as he registered who she was, "Miranda, right?"

She smiled – what could she say, she was a sucker for adorable, sweet guys. "Yea… I feel bad, I should have been watching, let me make it up to you?" Even Nate, who was more than a little clueless, could tell this was a lame excuse, but she could get away with it. "It's really not a big deal, but if you want, sure, what did you have in mind?"

"Well, I was at the Palace last night, but I was by myself the whole time, so… let me buy you a drink?" "Sure, when should I get there?" "Whenever you want. I'm staying in the penthouse suite next to Chuck, so just come on up and get me. I should be there from six on."

"Wait, you're living next to Chuck?!" Miranda grimaced, "Yea, but don't tell him that, I don't want him getting all creepy on me." Nate just laughed, "Ok. How about I come up at six?"

Miranda smiled, "Sure. Well, I gotta go. See ya tonight." She waved and flounced out of the school with a goofy grin on her face. He was smiling too – what guy doesn't like getting asked out by a hot girl?

"Omg, Gigi, he's soooo cute," Miranda gushed.

She had come over to Gigi's place ten minutes ago and was re-doing her makeup. She'd already grabbed Gigi's Fendis and had on her red Eleanor original. The dress was strapless, tight on the waist but full-skirted, with the hem line just below her knee.

Gigi was laying on her bed, sorting through all her tips she'd had texted to her. "You're so cute, M. You're all fierce and sexy, and then a cute guy smiles at you and you melt." Miranda rolled her eyes, but she was still grinning, "Well, yeah, doesn't N have a reputation for doing that?"

Gigi nodded, "Yea, kinda… ooh, M, someone snapped a cute pic of N and you grinning like goofs." "Oh, let me see!" Miranda jumped onto the bed next to Gigi and grabbed the phone. She squealed when she saw the first picture, "Omg! We already look like a cute couple! You have to post that one!" Gigi smiled, "I was just thinking that."

She glanced at the clock, "And you need to head back to the Palace if you're gonna be ready for Nate to pick you up." "Ok, dear."

Miranda air-kissed Gigi, got up, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door, "Thanks for letting me borrow these kick-ass shoes! I'll text you after!" Gigi smiled, "Or during." Miranda giggled, "Or during. Bye!"

She opened the door and headed for the elevator, while texting her driver to meet her at the front doors.

[My girl never fails to deliver some drama! Check out this tip from another little birdie! Awww! Look at those two cuties! Did M turn B down cause she had other plans? And is B over N enough not to be jealous? And, is M challenging B's throne by trying to get a king, or is she just having fun. As usual, I'll keep you posted. You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.]
