𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐍 the Upper East Side high school graduation is done a little differently. Who needs pomp and circumstance when you have paparazzi?

Serena, Blair and I were sat in a small cafe having brunch before our graduation. I took a sip of my iced caramel latte as Serena spoke, "Ever since Gossip Girl broke my arrest, it's everywhere. Eric found it in Pravada."

The brunette girl chuckled, "You're family's because you got arrested. Of course, this happened to you."

My older sister rolled her eyes, "I just can't wait for this day to be over."

I nodded in agreement, "The end of high school is the end of Gossip Girl for us."

Blair nodded, "Yes, she does post about you both a lot."

"Serena, weren't you her first blast?" I asked. 

She nodded, "Yes and let's just hope that my mugshot is the last thing she ever prints about me."

"Look on the bright side, Gossip Girl does not report on college." She turned to me, "And hell, you'll be out of the country."

I smiled at the thought. I couldn't wait to get out of New York, "So, B, what's going on with Chuck?" I questioned due to our conversation last night.

She sighed, "The problem isn't his feelings he cannot express them to the right person. Who cares who he tells if he doesn't tell me?"

I sighed, "Yeah, I understand. You guys done?"

They nodded in agreement before leaving the restaurant.

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐔𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 day and I couldn't be happier to be leaving high school. I was seated beside Serena and Blair when Headmistress Queller came to the podium, "Dear friends, colleagues, as we stand here today we bear witness to a bright new beginning."

During the woman's speech, the majority of people in the room's phone had got a notification, presumably from Gossip Girl.

I rolled my eyes, pulling out my phone to read her most recent blast.

Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas. Mine are labels and labels stick. Dan Humphrey: The Ultimate Insider. Chuck Bass: Coward. Blair Waldorf: Weakling. Serena van der Woodsen: Irrelevant. Nate Archibald: Cheater. And as for Nova van der Woodsen: I don't see her coming back after some news I've heard.
Congratulations, everyone. You deserve it. Well, maybe not N.

My pounding heart drowned out all other noise around me. Nate a cheater? What news has she heard? Despite some blasts she posted not being true, I had a horrible feeling.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 at the Palace was busy. Mostly everyone from the graduation was there. I was waiting to talk to Nate but I didn't seem to have the chance until he walked over to me, "Nova, hey." He spoke as he approached me, "I just wanna say, I have no idea where Gossip Girl got that from. You should know I'd never cheat on you-"
