Watch your back S.

It was a new day. It was the day of my photoshoot. Over-the-top make up. Fancy costumes. All that jazz.

I arrived at the set and walked through the doors of the rooftop, and stopped suddenly to see miss van Der Woodsen stealing the spotlight.

"You've got to be kidding me." I murmured.

"Fantastic! One. Two. Three!" The clicks of the camera flashed as Serena posed, with the most fakest laugh I've ever heard.

"Oh, there she is!" She spotted me in the non-existent crowd.
"Ella! Come on! Quick!" I scoffed and turned around to walk away.

"Hey, Ella!!" She followed behind me, "Ella, wait where are you going? Why are you so mad!" She asked, as she stopped me in the middle of the stairwell.

"Why am I mad? You mean why aren't I furious?!" I scoffed, "I can't believe for one second I thought it would be different this time!"

"What would be different?" She asked.

"You couldn't deal with the spotlight shining on me for once, could you?"

"What are you talking about? Ella, I was told we were doing this together."

"What about this morning then? When you glanced at the call sheet, did u see mine or Blair's name? When I wasn't in hair and makeup, didn't that seem strange? When the dressing room only had your name on the door! What did u think they just forgot?"

"I was told you were running late and they asked me to do test shots first." Lies.lies.lies.
"Ella? They told me you wanted me here!"

"And you believe them?" I asked.

"Look, Ella, I encouraged you to do this. Why would I try to steal something from you and Blair that I pushed you to do?"

"Because you take everything from me!" I yelled. "Nate, my mom!! You can't even help it! It's who you are. I just thought maybe this time it would be different. I should've known id be wrong." I walked off.

A few hours later, I thought and made a choice to go and speak to Serena, with Dan's help.

"So you were right.. when I got that call? I should've known you had nothing to do with it. And I should never have pushed you to do this whole thing in the first place."

"Actually, I'm glad you pushed me." I smiled, "it ended up being a very important day for me. I just thought it was gonna be more fun.."

"I know! Me too." She pulled me into a hug, a hug I haven't experienced in a long time.

"Hey you know what! Who says it still can't be? Come on!!"

This just in. S and E committing a crime of fashion.

Who doesn't love a five-finger discount?
Especially if one of those fingers is the middle one?

Everyone knows you can't choose your family.. but you can choose your friends.
And in a world ruled by bloodlines and bank accounts, it pays to have a pal.

As much as a Bff can make you go WTF...there's no denying we'd all be a little less rich without them.

And Serena and Blair? They do besties better than anyone.

No, that's not a test in my eye. It's just allergies. Without you, I'm nothing.
