Gossip Girl (Book Three)

Ten

I walked through the park with Chuck after a great and much-needed breakfast. The only thing that would make this better would be for my phone to stop ringing with Serena's phone calls. "Ugh. I don't converse with liars or Lewinskys." I stated rejecting the call again.

"Come on, Lena. You don't know that you saw anything." Chuck said and I scoffed.

"In the second grade, I saw our gym teacher giving Laverne Glazer's mom the glad eye. Not only did it earn me the first A++ for gym in Constance history, I learned that my sexual tension radar is unparalleled."

"Point ceded.'

"Are you coming to Alanna's?" I asked stopping to look over at him.

Chuck slightly shook his head. "I can't."

"Are you trying to get away from seeing the baby actually being born?" I asked slightly chuckling.

"Oh, I'd love to, but a high-ranking diplomat has asked me to show his son around New York. I need to build up my continental clientele, so it looks like I'm statue of liberty-bound."

I sighed. "Oh, the sacrifices we make for success. I'll think of a way to make your day less boring later."

"I like the sound of that." I leaned forward kissing him before leaving to head back to Alanna's. I don't a hundred percent want to go back. I mean, with the screaming and the yelling and bossing around. And that's just with my mom.

I made it back to Alanna's apartment to find Sebastian sitting alone in the apartment. "How is she doing?" I asked shutting the door and taking off my jacket.

"She's cranky." Sebastian stated and our mom walked into the room.

"She's having a baby." Our mom stated.

"When?" I asked going over to sit on the couch. "When you texted me that the baby was coming, I didn't think I would still be waiting over ten hours later."

Our mom stopped letting out a deep breath. "I might have been a little haisty."

"You think? Is dad here?" I asked and there was this sudden awkwardness in the room.

"He's weird with your sister." Our mom said before just turning around and walking away.

I looked over at Sebastian and he was staring at his phone. "I'm leaving." I said standing up.

"Where are you going?" Sebastian asked as I grabbed my jacket.

"I'm going. I don't need to stay in an apartment with liars." I stated and Sebastian sighed. "Text me when the baby is actually coming. He doesn't need to be infected with your lies."

Chuck's busy, I'm not talking to Serena, so off to meet Blair I go. I sat at a cafe table not far from NYU. They are putting on some play. Dan walked over to the table looking confused at me. "Lena, what are you doing here?" Dan asked and I sighed.

"I'm tired of waiting for a baby to be born and Chuck is busy. Plus, my sister won't let us eat in front of her. Fair, but cruel." I stated. It may not be a hundred percent truth, but Humphrey doesn't need to know my business.

"Uh, okay. Inspired by miss GaGa's lyrics, I've written a satirical commentary. About fame, glamour and our society's obsession with the shiny new thing." Dan handed a script to everyone at the table but me. I looked over Olivia's shoulder as she looked at it.

"Humphrey, I'm surprised. This isn't horrible." Blair stated and I laughed.

"You play the aging queen, a fading but talented rock star who earned her success. Olivia, snow white, a young up-and-comer who's trying to steal the queen's thunder - by being outrageous and sexy."
