I Love You

A Sad Anniversary

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy, all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

Spring Break had passed, and Darcy had spent it lying by her pool side in California and returning to her natural habitat of partying. Which she was glad she did because it had rained and snowed in New York. She arrived at school and skipped right into the courtyard.

"Someone is full of energy today" she heard Nate say behind her.

"It's called California. It like recharges me. I just got back"
"So, you enjoyed Spring Break?" he asked.

"It's one of my favorite places in the world. I missed it so much."

"California is your home. I would feel the same if I had left New York"

"Indeed. So how was a post Blair Spring Break?" She said linking arms.

"Laid low, played some soccer."

"A total Nate thing" she said as the crowd started laughing. They looked over at where it was coming from and noticed Jenny laughing and Blair having yogurt on her head. "Nice shot"

"I'm gonna go talk to Jenny" he said unlinking from her

"Please don't be mad at her"

"I'm not I just want her to make sure she knows who she's at war with"

"War with Blair seems like something she can handle Nate. J's a big girl"

"Blair is the Queen for a reason."

"Maybe it's time for a new Queen" Darcy said and Nate walked away.

Later that day Darcy walked over to the Met. When she was back in California she started thinking about her mom again so being back here in New York she decided to come to the Met. She spotted Serena and Blair sitting on the steps and she walked toward them.

"Hey S" Darcy said.

"Ugh I guess you'll do" Blair said.

"Excuse me?" Darcy said

"Just ignore her D" Serena replied.

"Something I'm good at"

"How's my leftovers?"

"Nate or Chuck?" Darcy asked which she could tell made Blair even madder. Which put a smile on Darcy's face.

"Both I suppose"

"Wouldn't know. Were just friends"

"He's trying to torcher me" Serena said and Darcy looked at where she was looking. Chuck and Eric hanging out.

"I highly doubt that S, he likes Eric"

"You and Chuck talk?"

"Actually, yeah we do about a lot of stuff. It was good seeing you, Serena. Always a pleasure Blair"

"Likewise," Blair said.

After the school day was over Darcy headed back home and collapsed on the couch. A few minutes later a knock was heard on the door. She walked over to it.

"I swear to god Bass" she said opening it to see Nate "Archibald? What brings you by?"

"Well, you see I have a problem that I thought maybe you could help with"

"Girls?" she asked confused.

"No, you see my dad is in rehab and my mom is anywhere but at home and I accidently ordered too much food."

"So, you thought hey Ellis might be hungry"

"It crossed my mind"

"Well, I was going to just vegetate for a while then eat but since the food is here yeah, I'm hungry" she laughed, and he walked in.
