Secret Keeper

Season 1 Episode 3

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

A/N: This is a rewrite of my fanfiction Secret Keeper from FanFiction.net

There's plenty of upside to being the spawn of the fabulously wealthy, but the downside, super successful parents expect nothing less from their offspring and when it comes to college that means the Ivy's. It's more than just getting into college, it's setting a course for the rest of your life and for those few who aren't legacies, the pressures are no less. When parents have sacrificed for their children's future, what kid would want to let them down?

Layla stood in front of the mirror adjusting her uniform. She put all her music pins across her tie and found her jewelry. She looked at each side making sure everything looked perfect.

She arrived at the school and joined Blair, and her minions. She spotted the boys across the courtyard and watched Nate stare at Blair. Everything must be good then between the two of them. When they get inside, they all slide into one booth. Lay looked over at her brother thinking of that morning.

*Layla ran past her brother and father beating them both, she stopped and then her brother stopped

"Try not to cut me off next time; you almost knocked me over the side of the bench." Their father said to Nate

"Layla?" Nate

"Don't blame this on me, I'm just faster" Layla said folding her arms over her chest

Their father looked at him with a stern look

"I didn't mean to" Nate said defeated

"If you win fair and square like your sister, nothing would make me prouder." The Captain said

"If feels good to be the good child" Layla smiled at her brother

"Dad, we've talked about me keeping my options open, looking out West."

"Yeah of course but lets get serious here. If someone with your grades wants to get into Dartmouth, you need to appear to be working for it. Take your sister for example. She is working hard for Julliard. Why cant you be like that" their father said

"And I am done with this conversation." Layla said and walked away.*

"At tomorrow night's mixer, Blair Waldorf will announce the charity her community outreach committee will honor this year." The teacher said. Layla looked over at Blair who had a huge smile on her face.

"Have you seen Serena?" Isabel asked

"I wonder where she is." Katy said

"Who cares" Layla said

"Know what I wonder? How we're supposed to hear anything about Yale with all this talk about Serena." Blair complained

"Exactly" Layla whispered

"Why do you care about Ivy week, you're going to Juilliard" Katy commented

"Shh" Layla said as they all got glares from Blair who seemed to be day dreaming

"So Serena's really not here?" Blair asked

"That's what I said."

"When you weren't supposed to be talking!" Katy said

Layla rolled her eyes.

After the assembly. Layla spotted Dan and ran up to him

"Romeo" she yelled
