Sinners and Saints

Chapter 1

Hey Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here... and I have the biggest news ever. One of my many

 sources, Melanie91, sends us this: Spotted at Grand Central, bags in hand: Serena van der

 Woodsen. Was it only a year ago our It-Girl mysteriously disappeared for quote 'boarding

 school'? And just as suddenly she's back. Don't believe me? See for yourselves: Lucky for us,

 Melanie91 sent proof. Thanks for the photo, Mel!

Spotted: Lonely Boy... can't believe the love of his life has returned. If only she knew who he

 was. But everyone knows Serena. And everyone is talking. Wonder what Blair Waldorf thinks.

 Sure, they're BFFs but we always thought Blair's boyfriend Nate had a thing for Serena.

     I roll my eyes as I show Chuck Bass the Gossip Girl blast on my phone. 

Chuck laughs lightly before saying "Good, things were getting a little...dull around here."

"You would feel that way." I scuff. 

"What. You're not excited to see her?" Chuck questions.

 "Chuck, you of all people know I've never been Serena's biggest fan. Any chances of us being

 friends was ruined the moment she-" my sentence was cut off as Blair Waldorf and Nate

 Archibald approached us. 

"Nathaniel, any interest in some fresh air?" Chuck pretends to hold a joint between his fingers.

 "When I get back?" Nate asks. 

"If he gets back," Blair says with a smile as she leads him out of the room. 

"You weren't gonna offer me any?" I jokingly ask Chuck. 

"Shut up," Chuck tells me, grinning. 

We get up to leave headed towards the elevator when the blonde bombshell walks into the room. 

"Great" I mumble under my breath. 

Chuck being the ass that he is decides to greet Serena despite my protests. 

"Well well well if it isn't Serena back in the flesh." he says charmingly to her. 

"Chuck. London. Nice to see you both again!" Serena says cheerily 

"I wish I could say the same." I tell her as I brush my way past her, needing that joint now more

 then ever. 

I heard Chuck apologize on behalf of me before he left Serena to catch up with me.

 "Look London as hot as this feud that you have with Serena is, don't you think you owe it to her

 and yourself to maybe try to become friends with her. Maybe she's changed since she's been at

 boarding school." Chuck tries to reason with me causing me to pause in my steps turning

 around to face him. 

"Who are you and what have you done with my best friend Chuck Bass?" I ask him. This was completely out of character for him.
