Gossip Girl

Meeting him again

Have you ever been in a situation where life pretty much gets out of hand . Well , according to me , right now I am in that situation. If you think why let me rewind a bit .

Hi I am Veronica Humphrey Van Der Woodsen. Daughter of Serena Van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey.

The posh upper east Sider's. Right now , it is my sophomore year at Constance. The whole upper east Sider gang now lives together. The gang - Other than my parents we obviously have the previous queen bee - Blair Waldorf and her 'oh so called Prince Charming' Chuck Bass .
Nate Archibald and his wife Vanessa, Jenny Humphrey and Eric Van der Woodsen .

My best friend - Olive Archibald and my partner in crime - Xav That is a story for another time.

" Hey wake up V or else i am gonna kick you out of the bed . I said wake up "

"My sweet Olive , lemme puhweese sleep a little bit more , preety please."

"O really , I think you are planning on digging your grave ".

Even if my eyes were closed , I could sense the anger and rage in her voice . I woke up and dragged myself to the shower.
I don't want to face her wrath first thing in the morning .

"I will be waiting at the breakfast table and I have something important to tell you "
she cooed from outside . But i only hummed in response.

I finish my shower and got into my 'walk in closet ' . I pull out a black short dress. It was formal yet elegant. Just the way I like . I matched it with black boosts , a black Prada bag and a black coat.

I walked to the dining room only to find everyone busy with one thing or the other.

"Wow , you look stunning!" Olive exclaimed . All of their eyes were at me but as fast as they looked at me the next moment they busied themselves with work .

'Thanks' I muttered inaudible. I did not enough for everyone to hear or pay me attention .

I had to be more than twice checked whilst I am conversing with them around me . After all I don't want them to know that - my train of thoughts were cut off by my phone .

It was an unknown number but by glancing at the number I could tell that it was him trying to make another call. It was time for him to stop. But he didn't listen . I switched off my phone and placed it back in my bag.

'Aren't we getting late for school."

She looked at the watch and literally slipped " We're running late ,V . It's all your fault .

"Yeah ,Yeah everything is my fault!"She narrowed her eyes at me and I could notice the glare in her eyes .

"Okay , I take back my words , happy ? "

"Very much indeed"her voice sounded satisfied.

"Girls , we are trying to eat breakfast . Could you girls just go outside and finish your squeal about getting late . " Blair said looking very much annoyed . Right now I could do nothing but retort back. I forgot all the threats and warnings hanging there.

"O , really Blair I never knew you were a silent eater . I meant to say back in your times , there used to be much drama than now . Scandals "-I was interrupted by my mother " "Enough already ! Go to the car and drive the hell out of here ."

I was ready to retort back but I felt a tug at my wrist . It was Olive . Her eyes pleading me to give into them . And I did . She was my weakness and strength after he left me .

We walk to the parking loft and got into the car . I started it and we were on the road .

There was silence through the whole ride . Not that it was uncomfortable but it was really odd . She held a very different emotion in her eyes . No matter how hard I tried I could not figure out the emotion .

Why do I think that I was forgetting something ?

I still couldn't remember it but I feel like it was important . My mind was consumed
with all these thoughts that I didn't see where I was going . I heard Olive call my name but it was too late now.

I bumped into someone's hard chest . Suddenly my breathing became rugged , there were butterflies in my stomach . Only one person could make feel like this . But it was not possible . Fighting the urge to look at his face , i gave up. I could not stay clinging to his chest forever.

When I looked at him , it felt like time had stopped . It was him - Xavier Archibald -my partner in crime, the person who knew me better than anyone and the person who broke my heart unknowingly. He was the first child of Nate and Vanessa.

"It is nice to meet you again, Ver."

He was the only one who called me 'Ver'. I could not face him now so I ran out of the hallway , got into my car and started it . I quickly phoned Olive to tell her that I was going to skip and she does not need to worry about me which I know she will .

I kept driving with no particular destination in my head . Sighing ,I kept on driving and turned the radio to full volume .

It was time for it to start .... again
