Elite (Gossip Girl Next Gen Fanfiction)

Chapter 5 - A Fight In The Courtyard

Ch. 5

Kiera, Jane and Alyx looked at Caspar and I like we were two incredibly important people, but in reality, we were just humans like them and some days I wish they'd treat me like a normal person, instead of their queen.

I cleared my throat to get them to get out of their dream world, in which, I know, they all play the role of me because they've all had a crush on Caspar Archibald for as long as I can remember.

"Who's in a fight?" I look at them questioningly, whilst Caspar stands there like a fish out of water: girly gossip really wasn't his thing.

"Come and have a look!" Alyx chanted, then they all turned on their heels and began walking down the vast corridor, clicking their heels in perfect unison.

Caspar and I followed, I barely looked at him, too scared to even look anywhere but straight ahead.

So many secrets in this airspace, so little time to address them without letting the whole world know.

We rounded a corner to the courtyard where a cluster of teenagers surrounded Greggory, Darius and... my brother?

"Henry!" I shouted as I pushed past the crowd. As soon as I saw his dark hair being whisked about in the fury of the fight, I ran the rest of the way, not caring about leaving the minions and Caspar behind.

In all the rush, I, somehow managed to end up in the middle as I looked around at those involved. My brother had a black eye and was cut on the side of his face, Greggory had some bruises on his arms and legs and had blood dripping from his nose onto his white t-shirt. Darius stood in the corner, his sleeves pushed up and his fists grazed – barely a scratch on his face.

I stood there, stunned.

Darius' blonde hair was still perfectly intact, if anything just slightly windswept, whilst the other two looked like they'd just escaped a harsh football game.

Just as another punch was about to be swung, my brother stood up.

"Will you just calm down. You're an idiot." He spoke loudly to Greggory with such a fire and he backed down.

Caspar came to hold Greggory back as Darius picked up a blazer and quickly put it loosely on his shoulders, retreating from anymore conflicts.

I went over to my brother, whilst Caspar stayed back consoling Greggory.

"What the heck happened?" I grabbed his shoulder and spun him around the face me. His black eye was in the early staged and it just looked red right now but was going to be swollen shut soon enough.

"That twat," He pointed in the direction of where Darius went. "Decided to start shit." Henry tenderly touched his eye and winced.

"Well well well what have I caught on this lovely morning. Master Bass and... Master Bass." I glanced to the side to see the approaching Mr Mood. The new head master of Constance and St Judes; Mr Ignatius Josephs, also known as Mr Mood, got his name due to the fact he was always in a "mood" for example, the type of mood which will give you a detention for sitting in the wrong chair and confusing the teacher.

Mr Josephs grinned at us as he spoke with a rough edge, his hair slicked back with way too much gel and his head so far up is arse that he can only see darkness.

"A fight? To my office if you both would. Don't forget to inform Mr. Vanderwoodsen-Whitney. Oh and-" He turned to me. "Your precious little sister too. Good day gentlemen, and lady." He turned away, a smell of musk washing over me and making me feel sick.

"She hasn't done anything!" My brother exclaimed, which got a clicking response from the headmaster and a slight turn of the head.

"She is here is she not?" With this he swiftly stomps across the school courtyard and I spun around to meet my brother's eyes.

"I will once again reiterate: what happened?" I folded my arms as I stared at him.

"Darius is an idiot. That's it." Dodging the question, like always. Just as I began to speak, Belle rushes up behind me, dressed in a scruffy uniform which was really unlike her. Normally she was primed to perfection.

My brother bowed his head like a defeated dog as Belle began screaming at him.

"You're an absolute scumbag! What gave you the right to beat him up?! I can't freaking believe you." She dodged past him and I turned to see Caspar glaring at my brother, a look that was ready to kill.

Henry glanced in their direction, giving a look of sadness in the direction where stood Caspar, Belle and Greggory.

"Let's just go to Mr Mood's office before he gives us any harsher punishment for being tardy." Henry began walking in the direction of the office and I trailed behind him sheepishly, before stopping in my tracks almost half way down the corridor.

"Henry was it... Augustus?" I spoke softly to him then he turned back to me, rage and fire hidden behind his soft eyes.

"You don't know him. His own siblings don't know him. He's devil spawn as an 11-year-old upper class piece of shi--" Ending his sentence abruptly, I heard Belle calling my name.

"Go to her. She'll probably twist everything anyway." My brother stalked off before heading into the boy's toilets to clean up before we see the headmaster.

"Your brother is an absolute douche. He beat up Augustus. Who the hell does that?" She looked hurt and her voice gave that suspicion confirmation. "Augustus is sat at home crying his eyes out with a bruise on his face do you know how hard it is to watch your little brother..."

She ranted on for a good minute before stopping to take a breath.

"Augustus told me everything and Darius confirmed it." Belle huffed at me, obviously annoyed and heartbroken.

"But how do you know Darius is telling the truth?" I questioned, I know how far to press her, but her throwing insults at my brother wasn't a good way to test my loyalties and she knew that.

"Have you ever known that boy to lie?" Belle snapped back at me.

"No but..." I wanted to continue before being interrupted again.

"Well then, I'd rather believe him than your stupid ass brother." She spoke with such venom, it was horrible and I wasn't going to have her talk about my brother like that. I don't care who she is.

"My brother's never lied either Belle. Don't forget who stayed up the whole night with you a few nights ago." I turned my back on her and walked after my brother.
