The Vortex Club.

I don't know how it did such a quick 180. It wasn't that long ago that Victoria was being "courted", I think is how she put it, by the Vortex Club. It hasn't always been a frat party full of rich assholes though, the club started out as a place for people who didn't fit in, at least that's what my step-dick keeps saying. (He's always unnervingly interested in what's going on at school). The Vortex club started as a group with a whole different message. It was a safe space for people who didn't feel like they fit in. It felt like the second Victoria and Nathan got their slimy (well, probably perfectly manicured) hands on the group, it became a playground for the unfortunate offspring of the disgustingly (and just disgusting) rich kids of Blackhell.

Victoria has always been pretty full of herself, but she doesn't have the social influence to restructure an entire group and make it popular. She had help, and a shit ton of it. I'm sure that coupled with Nathan and his bottomless wallet they became an unstoppable team fueled by pure narcissism.. and probably cocaine.

I can't believe Rachel likes to party with those guys. I mean the Vortex? That even sounds like a cult. Not to mention, half of the people there are psychopaths. I don't know how Rachel forgives so easily- Victoria literally tried to poison her two years ago. Rachel always says that Leo's don't look back and all that but she really does give people a lot of second chances. She knows that Nathan is the one who broke Samantha's ribs around the time she was stabbed. She's such an incredible actress, but this girl is always seeking the wrong kind of drama.
