I Love You

The Age of Innocence

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

Darcy sat in the costume room in front of the mirror fixing her hair for the show. Blair was going off on how perfect it was she was the lead. She rolled her eyes but she was sure Serena caught her.

"...Count Olenska is a ruined women with no prospects, and let's face it. I have the world on a string."

"I'm sure you do Blair" Darcy commented.

"I got into Yale!"

"Congrats, you wanna a medal?"

Some girls started laughing and celebrating over by the costumes.

"What are you chuckling about?" Blair asked them.

"Nelly just got in early to Yale" one of them said.

"Uh that's impossible" Blair said walking their way. "Yale only accepts one Constance student early and that me."

"She just got an email directly from Dean Berube."

"I have to find Headmistress Queller" Blair said running out of the room.

"So much for Yale being her I'm better that everyone else speech." Darcy smirked.

"Darcy" Serena said.

"I know she's your friend but I can't stand her"

"I know"

"Congrats Nelly, that's amazing" Darcy said to her.

"Did Darcy Ellis just congratulate me?" Nelly said.

"Yeah, you deserve it" she replied then left the room. She went up to the stage and spotted Vanessa and Nate talking.

"...oh and you have Darcy Ellis" Vanessa said.

"Um thanks" Darcy said confused.

"The reasons on why she's doing her documentary"

"Oh that's right you mentioned doing that. Make me look good and I'll invite you to the Oscars the year I'm nominated."
"Oscar?" Nate asked. That was right. Darcy hadn't seen him since she got the part. Well to be honest she hadn't really seen anyone because she was busy being on cloud 9 and studying her lines.

"I got the part" she said.

"That's amazing Darc!" Nate said and picked her up hugging her.

"Thank you" she said as he set her down. She could feel Vanessa giving her a look.

"I'm accepting that invite" Vanessa said.

Her phone vibrated.

BASS: Your Asshole brother is in town.

She rolled her eyes putting her phone back.

"Who was that?" Nates asked.

"Bass" she replied.

"What did he want?"

"To inform me that Carter is in town"

"Who's Carter?" Vanessa asked.

"He's a shark" Darcy replied. "But he's also like my brother"

"Oh"

"Nate and Bass hate him." She smiled.

Later that afternoon she arrived at a restaurant and spotted Carter and walked over to him and sat across from him.

"Not the girl I was expecting."
