Queen Flavia (Nate Archibald)

1.11 "Mom"

A few days later.

I walked into school when i heard my phone ring.

I answered it "Hello?"

Eric "it's me, sis"

I smiled "Eric, hey!! how are you?"

Eric "great and you?"

Me "great. You all packed?"

Eric "Baggage is ready to go. "

Me "Is mom still there?"

Eric "and talking to the doctor now. I can't believe she's actually letting me come home for a weekend. I don't think i even remember what a weekend is."

I chuckled "that's sad, bro ,very sad"

He sighed "i know"

I walked to Blair and her minions. My sis and Jenny were there too.

Me "Love you, bro"

Eric "me too"

then he hung up.

Blair looked at me"how about we get drunk on schnapps and moon the NYU dorms from the limo while your sister is out on a date"

I asked confused "what is tonight?"

Blair "F. it's only the most important night of the fall. "

i sighed "the sleepover"

Blair "I prefer "soirée". "sleepover" is so sophomore year"

I sighed "Listen,B. i can't come tonight. I have plans"

Blaire "nothing is more important than my soirée. And if you can't come then i have took for a replacement"

She held her hands out to her girls "Girls, the waiting list. "

They gave it to her and she looked through the list.

Serena looked at me "we should get going"

I nodded "yes, we should"

Then i grabbed her hand and we walked out.

Serena "since when are the two of you talking again?"

Me "We've made peace. again."

Serena muttered "Let's see for how long it'll last this time"

I gave her an irritated look.

Night.

I was helping Serena to find the perfect outfit. Eric wasn't here which was kinda weird since mom said that was gonna come home. 

I smiled when she found it "You found it"

She smiled "then come one"

We walked into the living room and i saw Dan talking to mom. Oh boy.

Dan's jaw dropped when he saw my sister "wow"

Mom eyed Serena's handbag "you are not wearing that with that, are you?"

I rolled my eyes.

Serena looked at her handbag.

Mom "here, wait"

She took a black clutch out of her shopping bag an handed it to Serena "here. take this"

Serena grabbed it and put her stuff into her new handbag "thank you"

I looked around "Where's my brother? i thought he was gonna be home by now"

Mom "oh, he was too tried to come home tonight"

i sighed "mom"

Mom shot me a look  "later"

Serena grabbed Dan's hand and walked with him to the door.

Mom "home by 1:00. Bonus points for 12:45."

They walked out.

Mom turned to me "how about we watch a movie together?"

I crossed my arms over my chest "What is with Eric?"

Mom "He didn't feel like coming home?"

I raised an eyebrow "He didn't feel like coming home or you didn't feel like wanting him to come home?"

Mom shook her head"Neither. We thought he wasn't ready for such a big step"

Me "And does "we" include Eric?"

Mom "Flavia, please"

I scoffed, shaking my head.

Then I started to walk to my room. 

Mom called after me"Where are you going?"

Me "I had planned spending time with my brother but since you let him stay locked up, i don't have a choice but going to sleep. Night"
