EVER SINCE GOSSIP Girl's blast that announced Victoria's connection to Carter Baizen, there had been a difference to her week. Those who had always wondered the mystery of who was the girl that was attached to Carter's hip was obsessed with who it had announced it had been. Someone least expected. A girl from Brooklyn. Their expectation was seemingly high and many were disappointed that Victoria Humphrey, the one who was only recently put on Gossip Girl's radar, was Carter Baizen's named dirty little secret. It caused slight glares and lingering eyes and Victoria had been dealing with it through a painful week. Not only were there lingering eyes but there were hushed gossips in which travelled around the halls and even in classrooms.
Victoria dealt with it on her own, and she wasn't exactly so used to it either unlike those who had always been on Gossip Girl. Dan knew the struggles in which his twin was going through and though she kept reassuring that she was doing fine and that there was nothing to worry about, the eldest Humphrey child was capable of detecting a lie from the girl who shared the same birthday as him. It was a rather cliche that twins could sense each other's emotions or pain, but Dan was very much capable of spotting what was wrong with his sister.
The brunette walked between the purple walls of Constance Billard, the side in which was the girl's corridor as the boys from St. Jude's owned the other side of the school building. Victoria held her books in hand from the lesson she had just escaped due to the chime of the bell of which echoed throughout the corridors and dismissed those from their lessons.
Her wander had begun and her eyes narrowed upon the notes she had taken from her history class she had for an hour. Victoria tended to ask, a lot of the time, for extra credit to add onto her grades and to make sure she was performing well enough to fulfil her dreams of attending Columbia. Her attention was narrowed on those notes until a voice had called at for her attention. "Hey," Victoria's attention flickered over her shoulder preparing to be approached by someone and their taunting words about her past. "just the twin sister I was looking for." Serena van der Woodsen had skipped to keep up with the girl she had spotted passing her along the corridor. "I need answers, and I need them now."
Victoria chuckled at the eagerness that came from the van der Woodsen. "Hello, to you, too, Serena."
Serena had questions she needed answered because of the date that had finally arrived for her and Dan, their very first that would hopefully have no disaster as the ones before. "Your brother is being mysterious about our date tonight." She told.
