Rumour Has It

Summary:

Gossip Girl here: your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.

(See Notes for More - I suck at summaries)

Chapter 1: hey people!

Notes:

Louis Tomlinson is St. Jude’s soccer star and every girl’s dream. He’s currently dating Quinn, but (like his father, Seth) he has a dirty little secret. Only his has bright green eyes, curly hair (oh, and a dick).

Quinn Sinclair is the Constance Billard’s Queen Bee. She’s got honey-blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes and legs that go on for miles. She’s the girlfriend (and everyone believes future wife) of Louis. Quinn is often out of town on modelling jobs, giving Louis plenty of time to play.

Harry Styles is one of the only kids brave enough to come out as bisexual. He just wants to be loved like anyone else - even hiding a relationship for it - but believes it may be time to look for it elsewhere.

Zayn Malik is the man whore son of billionaire and business tycoon, Bart Malik. His mother died giving birth to him and he has felt the need to make it up to his father ever since he was young.

Lena Golden, daughter of famous actor Carl Golden, has been in love with film making since she was six years old. However, no one takes her seriously and just want her in front of the camera.

Niall Horan is the newcomer from Ireland - not that you could tell. He’s ridiculously loveable. Everyone is jealous of his bottomless stomach, but what they don’t know is that he has regular meetings with ‘Mia’ in the washroom.

Katie Karamel had always been fairly quiet. Seven years after her sister’s sex tape went viral and landed the family a reality show, the producer wants to reinvent Katie and increase her “star power.” She is being forced into a modelling career she never wanted, but doesn’t want to say no and risk losing the only thing keeping her family from bankruptcy.

Liam Payne is a Brooklyn boy attending St. Jude’s on a partial scholarship. He’s bright, friendly and fairly well-known, but don’t let his confident exterior fool you.

Avery Levine is a writer. Also a loner. Although she thinks she’s ok with being on her own, she finds herself turning to Seth Tomlinson again and again for attention.

hey people!

 

 

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live, go to school, play and sleep - sometimes with each other. We all live in huge apartments with our own bedrooms and bathrooms. We have unlimited access to money and booze and whatever else we want, and our parents are rarely home, so we have tons of privacy. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we wear fantastic clothes, and we know how to party. Our shit still stinks, but you can't smell it because the bathroom is sprayed hourly by the maid with a refreshing scent made exclusively for us by French perfumers.

 

It's a luxe life, but someone's got to live it.

 

Our apartments are all within walking distance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue, and the single-sex private schools, like Constance Billard, which most of us go to. Even with a hangover, Fifth Avenue always looks so beautiful in the morning with the sunlight glimmering on the heads of the sexy St. Jude's School boys.

Q: Dear GG,

I just moved to Manhattan from Beverly Hills and I'm wondering if you have any tips? I'll be starting as a freshman at L'École this year. -CaliGurl

 

A: Dear CaliGurl,

Get out of L'École before its too late. -GG

 

Q: hey gossip girl, pretty sure I saw Liam selling drugs in Brooklyn. He's too cute to sell drugs! -NoDrugz

 

A: Dear NoDrugz,

I'll admit, Liam has enjoyed the odd joint. But he's essentially a puppy! He's not selling. -GG

 

SIGHTINGS

Quinn arriving at JFK back from a summer of modelling Europe. Louis and Liam playing soccer in Central Park. Zayn buying new school shoes at Barney's. Harry getting hit on by a cougar in Grand Central Station. Lena leaving an office building, a frown on her delicate face. Katie arguing with her mom in front of Louis Vuitton - and the cameras of course!

 

The Upper East Siders are all coming home for the new school year. And with us all in one place, something is bound to happen.

 

You know you love me,

Gossip Girl

Notes:

While on winter break, the idea to make a GossipGirl!AU came to me. I’ve been working on it for a couple of weeks now and made some lovely progress.

It will be a series, meaning multiple parts. It will contain a mix of original plots and plots from the TV show and book series. Some lines will even come directly from the books or TV show (no copyright infringement intended).

I don't own Gossip Girl or One Direction, blah, blah, blah.

I should warn that there will be struggles with eating disorders and drug addiction in later chapters.
