Gossip Girl Season 1

Poison Ivy

[Glamorous by Fergie is being sung by the Constance Billard Choir. We see flashes of Blair,Alisha, Wyatt,  Serena, Dan, Nate, Chuck, Kati and Isabel getting ready for school. They are all looking at themselves in their mirrors. Blair puts on her ruby ring, Serena adjusts her tie and we see flashes of them adjusting pins, brooches and watches. Serena applies her mascara, Blair puts on a white hairband, Kati and Isabel both put on chequered hairbands Nate fixes his blazer, Chuck puts on his trademark scarf and Dan is shaving himself and cutting himself frequently. They all turn and walk away from their mirrors]

Gossip Girl (Voice Over) 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?

[EXT CONSTANCE/ST.JUDE'S - COURTYARD - Chuck , alisha and Nate are walking together. Blair, Kati and Isabel are walking together. Dan and waytt walk past Chuck, alisha and Nate and Chuck gives them a dirty look. Blair turns around at the entrance stairs and looks at Nate. They both smile at each other.]

[INT CONSTANCE/ST JUDE'S - Jenny and a collection of other girls are singing in front of everyone. They finish and walk away whilst a male and female teacher walk onto the stage]

Female Teacher: Thank you ladies.

[We see Dan, Chuck, alisha, wyatt, Nate, Blair Kati and Isabel watching this. Chuck looks bored.]

Female Teacher: Good morning students. I ask all of you to show a little sympathy for our junior class. They are almost through with Ivy Week.

Male Teacher: As is our long standing tradition, the Constance Billard girls will be in charge of Friday night's mixer and the St.Jude's boys will provide the ushers for the visiting representatives.

Female Teacher: For those of you dreaming of attending an Ivy League school this mixer is the most important event of your life.

Male Teacher: But no pressure.

[The male and female teacher both laugh at this and the camera zooms in on Dan]

[INT CONSTANCE/ST JUDE'S - We see Nate sitting there with a serious look. He turns to look at Blair, who also turns to look at him. Nate then decides to shuffle to the end of the row and go outside with Chuck. Blair looks after him as he leaves.]

Female Teacher: At tomorrow night's mixer, Blair Waldorf will announce the charity her community outreach committee will honour this year.

[Blair looks at Isabel and smiles.]

Kati: Have you seen Serena?

Isabel: I wonder where she is.

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

[Kati, alisha and Isabel turn to each other with a confused look on their faces. The camera zooms in on Blair]

[INT CONSTANCE/ST JUDE'S - We see Blair turn to Kati , alisha and Isabel]

Blair: So Serena's really not here?

Kati: That's what I said.
