The sleek black car doors swung open, and you stepped out— in mere seconds, phones buzzed and screens lit up with a new Gossip Girl post. Whispers floated through the crowd like a secret breeze. You moved with deliberate calm, your gaze sharp and unreadable as you took in the sea of unfamiliar faces. Nearby, a group— Blair, Serena, Nate, and Chuck — lingered, watching with interest. Chuck’s signature smirk was tempered by a flash of something deeper in his gaze. You walked past them with steady composure. Later, the classroom was a blur of eyes on you. Your phone vibrated: a signature taunt from Gossip Girl. Blair, Serena, Nate, and Chuck sat together, an unspoken unit, subtle glances exchanged but no conversation between the two former flames.
