fool me once...

[ Lurking in some secluded corner sat our hero. Gossip Girl wasn’t a concern at the moment, he had bigger fish to fry. Namely, the fallout of his dad’s literal crimes so here he was, not looking up when he heard them approach- ] Nope, there is no “Nate Archibald” here. Just some guy with a few cold slices of pizza and a strawberry milkshake. Absolutely nothing to see.

                    “ time to stop moping, archibald.  that’s done. “         louise stated bluntly as she sat down across from him, placing her chocolate milkshake down on the table and sipping it before continuing.          “ it’s better to plot murder. “

Okay, how am I ever supposed to catch up with anything if no one is sending anything to Gossip Girl? I mean, I get it. I do. She’s pissed every single one of us off, but is she really the problem here?

                      ‘     a shrink would definitely say the problem stems from our parents and dealing with the backlash of an uncontrolled and yet opressive upbringing,   where secrets are the currency,    and so we can’t be honest nor build relationships with solid foundations,   so we can’t stop and need an outlet for all of that,   hence gossip girl.       like an addict that’s constantly on and off meth.      but i’m no shrink.     ‘

                          ’ she really tried it. she really did that, ’ jade watched the usual queen bee versus hopeful fool exchange with raised eyebrows, always excited to see if a brawl would break out. or some tears. whatever kept the day exciting. ’ R I P. was that the first one today or have you been kicking ‘em to the curb all lunch? ’

                 this was ...           joan ?       josie ?      jade .            valerie gave her a cattish smirk and nitpicked at the poppyseeds on top of her bagel .                         ‘      all day ,     everyday ,     but it is what has to be done if we want to keep the good name of constance .                i didn’t catch you at luna’s last party ,      weird .     ‘

If we’re really friends, you have to tell me if you’re GG. … Am I GG? Oh my god, how am I supposed to trust anyone like this?

                    ‘      luna ,      sweetie ,       i’m not gossip girl and you aren’t gossip girl either .               wish    i was ,       she’s brilliant .     ‘

[Is sitting in starbucks sipping his venti Caramel Macchiato when the blast comes through and almost chokes on his drink] Wh- No way.

                 it wasn’t a casualty that she walked into the same starbucks her brother was in ,      they’d arranged to meet there .           just as she was pushing through the door ,     her phone buzzed and an inevitable grin spread through her face .              after getting her drink ,     she sat     -visibly excited-     across from james .                   ‘    did you  see ?    ‘
