Hey, Upper East Siders, It's That Time Of Year Again, When The Mere Act Of Descending A Staircase Means You're A Woman.

Alexa wakes up from a text message from Blair that reads


Where are you

Alexa turns her phone back off, today is the start of cotillion ball and practice. Blair wanted her best friend to join since the blonde friend wouldn't however Alexa could care less about these events

This leads to Alexa sleeping in, while Blair yells at her over text to come and watch her dance

All of a sudden Alexa's elevator door rings and she goes down to see who it is

"Nate hey! I thought you should be practicing dancing  right now and trust me when I say this but you need it desperately" Alexa laughs

Nate smiles and hugs her "First practice ended hours ago how long have you been asleep, and second I'll have you know I have amazing dance moves but that's not why I'm here"

Alexa leads him to the couch "What's up"

"It's just Blair, I don't know she seems happier full of light and now, since the breakup, I see her better"

Alexa cuts him off".... and you want to get back with her"

Nate signs "look I know this is crazy but I miss her so much"

Alexa scoffs and gets up "Whose fault do you think that is"

"I know I messed up but" Nate starts

Alexa cuts him off

"But what? You slept with her best friend, you shut her out, you treated her like crap? Nate, you just can't lose someone and want them back like they are an object, you gotta work for it because you messed up big time. Now please get out I need another nap"

Nate gets off the couch and heads to the elevator "Thanks for the talk"

Long story short Serena is doing the cotillion now and with Blair's wits and Serena's charm Alexa is now tied into the event

Alexa enters Blair's penthouse and spots Serena and Dan

"Hey lovebirds" Alexa smiles at the both of them

Serena hugs Alexa "Hey I'm so glad you came"

Alexa laughs "Not like I had a choice"

Serena's grandmother approaches the three with an all too well familiar face

"Alexa sweetheart, I'm glad you've changed your mind about this ball, and Serena darling, this is Carter Baizen, your escort for tomorrow night. Do you three already know each other?" Cece asks

"Actually, we used to go to school together, Just a couple of years apart," Carter says while looking at Alexa

Carter looks to Dan "Oh hi I'm Carter."

"This is Daniel Humphrey, Dan, actually Serena's friend," Cecelia says

Serena shakes her head "No, My Boyfriend"

Feeling the awkwardness between Dan and Serena's grandmother and her and Carter, Alexa excuses herself and stand in a corner alone watching the socialites

"I assume you got my message" a voice from behind snaps Alexa out of her thoughts

"Did you expect me to answer, I owe you nothing" Alexa states and before Carter can get a word in she walked away to start the tea party
