Image
|Height and Weight|


5'10 and 145 lbs.


|Build|


Athletic and hourglass


|Glasses or Contacts?|


Yes, she's almost as blind as a bat esp. at night and either has to wear her contacts or her black glasses


|Face Shape|


Heart


|Skin Tone|


Lightly tanned, but still somewhat pale


|Hair Color | Hairstyle|


Naturally blonde. She mostly keeps her hair curly or wavy depending on how it wants to be and rarely straightens it completely, unless she really has to like for a formal event or something. Only because she thinks she looks fine with her curly hair and she doesn't care what anyone else thinks about her hair. She loves keeping it in a braid, bun, ponytail, or anyway to keep it out of her face.


|Eye Color|


Light, almost clear blue


|Scars? Markings? Tattoos? Piercings?|


Charlotte doesn't have any scars whatsoever except for one on her forehead from her accident that goes from her scalp to her left eyebrow but, it is very faint. But, this southern belle does have beauty marks all around her body including one on her face on the right side right next to her lips and one of her left hand. Her being... her doesn't have any piercings but does have her fair share amount of tattoos. Which is a shocker to most who don't know her all too well. Including her oldest on that she got on her sixteenth birthday of her favorite Disney movie; Snow White on her right shoulder blade. [Click] Her second oldest on her left forearm with the coordinates of Walt Disney World; [Click] And her last and newest one that she got over the this summer of It's a Small World. [Click]

Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” ― Marilyn Monroe β–ͺ

|{Childhood/Family Life}|

Lottie loved her childhood, sure she wasn't spoiled but, it was good enough. Her parents were madly in love, she had siblings that looked up to her, and they sort of had that picture perfect middle class family. And, it only got better when they moved to Savannah. The family lived there for years before they had to move to the 'big city' for her father's new position as a stock broker on Wall Street. And they wouldn't have moved if it wasn't a job way up the company ladder. But, it was and even though it killed them to leave, they didn't have a choice. They needed the money. They found themselves in a high rise Duplex Penthouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. And their life was great; their father could finally spoil them and just throw around money like nothing. And while all the others were okay with it, you could said Lottie stayed close to her roots, not really liking the high class life style of going to parties and acting like someone she wasn't just to impress people who she would probably never see again. But, she made it work and life was good... Until it took a turn. At the age of thirteen, Charlotte was in a taxi going home. It all happened so fast that she can't really remembered what happened. The only thing she really remembers is waking up and not being able to hear anything. From what they told her parents, her hear just somewhat popped when she and the driver went head into the back of a semi truck. It sucked but, they began learning how to deal with it. Starting with getting her a cochlear implant (one she barely uses anymore), and then making her learn how to sign. And their life went on. But, during this summer Rosie and Charlotte decided to move in on their own into a loft not far from the Upper East Side where the have split up the house between Harvard (Lottie) and UCLA (Rosie) stuff.

|{Academic Career}|

Charlotte is the type of girl you don't expect to be super popular because of her personality but, she actually is really popular within the high school. She the girl most people can't help but like; she's gorgeous, intelligent, as sweet as sugar, and comes from a family where her dad is always out of town leaving his gorgeous penthouse loft empty and ready for a good party. Yes, you heard right little Miss. Sunshine knows how to the throw a good, hell a great party. Which might have helped her get into office during her sophomore year. And, her win was, in her words 'close enough' when in actuality it was a landslide, she just doesn't like bragging about it. She has been President for two years now and has never promised something she couldn't get for the student body and she intends to keep it that way all through her senior year before walking across that stage onto becoming president of a new school.

And, before you ask no she doesn't have much of a love life; she has never been really kissed like anything more than a peck, she has never had a boyfriend, and she has never went on a date. She just hasn't had time, all through high school she had her mind focused on her father's cheating, or Harvard, or her presidential campaign, and no has really made her forget about those things. But, she is determined to have her first.... ANYTHING before she graduates high school.

|{Plans for after high school?}|

She has already chosen her college of choice and what she wants to major in that being dramatic arts at Harvard University. She then plans to graduate from there at the top of her class just like she did in high school with 5.0 weighted GPA and find her way onto go onto Broadway and get in a production of the musical, The Last Five Years as the part of Cathy Hyatt. She then wants to travel the world and see every type of culture there is. She wants to live her life to the fullest and finish every single thing on her bucket list. Starting with doing the Camino de Santiago in Spain. All before settling down with an amazing man, her three kids; Sawyer Beau, Iris Marie, and River Rose. (and their golden retriever) in a nice, vintage Savannah, Georgia home.

    The second she was buzzed in, she rushed into the elevator and quickly found her way in front of Carolina. "Hey!" She said with a smile before being replied to. "Hey. You really didn't have to come! Tori's coming over and we can take care of everything. Besides, Sia said a trip to Long Island might be in the works for tonight?" Charlotte just swatted her hand lightly as she squinted her eyebrows. "Nonsense. I wanted to come and yea, we're goin' to Long Island for night just to get away from all the drama and stuff." She assured Carolina as the two started to walk into the kitchen where Lottie stood across from her friend and laid her purse next to her before leaning down on her hands.

    "Fair warning - Jane and Sydney are here having a 'spa day' or something." Lottie rolled her eyes before shrugging and chuckling. "Course they are, but don't worry. I can hold my own especially around Sydney and Jane." She raised an eyebrow before smirking.

    She chuckled before hearing her phone and pulling it out to look at the text, reading it she smiled before responding and setting her phone face up on the island to reveal a picture of her and Rosie acting stupid between on of Charlotte's photo shoots over the summer.

    To : Sienna <3

    You are seriously the best. <3 See you soon.

    She cleared her throat as she looked towards Carolina. "So, where's Tori?" She asked with real curiousity, hiding the look of anxiousness behind a small smile. The last person she needed to be around right now was Tori, she already didn't like Lottie. Lottie knew that but, now there's another swirling around about the blonde and she just knew Tori would ask her if it was true or not, hell.

    Lottie still had her suspicions about Tori being the person behind the blog so, maybe she would act like she didn't even see it. Either way, Lottie needed proof and before going around telling people that Tori was the 'Gossip Goddess'.

{In Collaboration w/ royals}



Connor hadn't got much farther when Sienna flagged him down from her town car. He smiled at the girl and made his way through the light crowd on the street to hop into the back seat with her. The smile was present even after he had sat down and glanced down at the response Sydney had sent him. She insinuated that Sienna was the one running the gossip blog and making the malicious posts about people. He obviously valued Sydney a lot, so he couldn't just brush the accusation off as being rubbish, but at the same time, Sienna?! She was one of the sweetest girls he knew. He was aware that she wasn't Charlotte-level sweet because like most girls in her crowd, her claws seemed to come out when provoked, but still. She didn't seem like the type of girl to make such posts about people who were supposed to be her friends.

"Hey! Nice to finally see you," he said as the car rolled off. Between her leaving Sydney's party early and his unexpected leave from New York, he really hadn't had much time to catch up with Sienna after the summer. He was glad to see her. Despite all of this drama and the new skepticism flooding his mind, he liked Sienna. She was fun, exuberant and seemed like a genuine girl. She was obviously enough of a catch to have Vincent sweating whenever in her presence too, so that had to say something. Sienna was beaming when Connor slid into the car and even more so when he first spoke to her. After getting Starbucks from Connor, their time had been limited and she had honestly thought she lost Connor as a friend after the post that will remain unnamed at present. It would have sucked and dam well would have stung, but his willingness to check on Adam with her and actually have a conversation placated Sienna for the moment. She didn't doubt that Connor would take Sydney's side, though. He was practically in love with her anyway, so there wouldn't be much of a surprise there. "Likewise," she replied, and re-crossed legs, taking only a moment to glance back at her phone before returning her attention to Connor.

"So, what's this weird message stuff about? I haven't spoken to Adam in a while, just with all of this craziness going on, so I'm glad we're going to see him. " When he turned the conversation to Adam, the corners of her mouth were pulled down by the weight of her worry. "Yeah, he text me last night, but I don't think he actually meant it to come to me," she admitted and rifled through her phone as they turned a corner she recognized as close to the one Adam lived on. Despite not having hung out in a while, Sienna remembered it very clearly and would do a light jog near the area just to see if she would spot him coming out to confront him. Not like that had ever happened and he seemed adamant about avoiding her, which made her frown deeper. Shaking the thoughts away, she handed the device to Connor, the last message from Adam on display. "Obviously, he thought he was talking to his parents, but...I don't know, I don't get what he meant when he said we'd hate him or that we already know." Sienna bit her lip.

Connor didn't bother to text Sydney back yet, mostly because he didn't know what to say. As he thought about it further, he considered the idea that maybe she was right. He had never heard of any rumors about Sienna on the blog, at least not ones that were this bad. Maybe she had posted the one about Sydney and Vincent in an impulsive, emotion-fueled move, and then later regretted it, deleted the post, and made up the one about Charlotte to try to shift the attention away from them. It made sense that Sienna would be behind the post about Vincent and Sydney since she was the one who had been wronged by that. But why would she create such a vicious and false post about Charlotte? She and Charlotte seemed like great friends, and anyone who even knew Charlotte vaguely would know that a rumor like that would really hurt her. It didn't make sense and Connor didn't know what to believe, but he wasn't going to question Sienna about it when he didn't know the facts. He would have to text Sydney back or maybe even call her later, after visiting Adam, but for now, he just sent a response to Charlotte and Piper.

To: Piper
Yeah, everything's good now lol. Excited for the party :)!

To: Charlotte
Well call me later ok? As long as you're better than last night I think we're good ;)

Two of her close friends were currently going through something, both issues something Sienna wanted to take care of. No, she needed to take care of. And yet, with her unaware if she could convince Tori to get rid of that post of Charlotte and Adam having begun to keep her at a distance, she was unsure of how she could help. If she even could and it made her heart clench. She hated feeling helpless. Taking a shuddering breath, Sienna gazed up at Connor, "With everything that's happening with Lottie and...well, everything else in my life, I...I just really want to make sure Adam's gonna be okay. So, thanks for coming with me, hon." She added the endearment with a small, appreciative smile, but it didn't last and Sienna turned her gaze out the window. They were close now.

Sooner than she anticipated, they were outside of Adam's door. She had gotten her driver to drop them off at the curb and the duo walked up to the door. Sienna sighed and glanced back at Connor, "Hopefully, he answers." Just as she reached for the door, Sienna heard a loud thud. She didn't even look back at Connor, she just jostled the doorknob, only to discover it was left unlocked and shoved the door open only to see Adam on the ground and being held down. Sienna gasped. "Oh my God, what are you doing to him!?"

Only seconds after Sydney insinuated that Sienna was purposely ignoring her texts in favor of Charlotte, her phone pinged with texts from both Sienna and Piper. Jane's face instantly took on an expression reading "how dare they?!" as she skimmed the messages. Without thinking, she flung her phone across the bed to where Sydney was sitting. "I can't even believe them!" she hissed. Both of her friends had been honest and probably more gentle than she deserved, considering that Jane knew neither of them wanted to be around Sydney but continued to insist they do so. Still, Jane was used to getting her way and she wasn't happy with both of them rejecting her, especially in a way that hinted that neither of them wanted to hang out with she and Sydney in a closed setting any time soon. "I think you're right. Sienna's trying to ditch us for Charlotte! Us for Charlotte! It's weird to even say that out loud!"

Within seconds, Jane's phone was sent flying in her direction and as she unlocked the phone and read the first couple of messages on it, an eyebrow quirked. A barely noticeable smirk surfaced as she read, and Jane started ranting. First of all, Piper, I don't want to hang out with you in private either. I don't want to hang out with you in public, for that matter, and you should be grateful that I've even let you get this far. What a stupid, stupid bitch. Next was Sienna's message, the more recent of the two. It was harder to run a petty commentary on this one because she and Sienna had more of a reason to avoid each other than Piper did. Piper was obviously just jealous and intimidated by her, so Sydney could spin her into being a bitch, but with Sienna, it was going to be more tricky. She was going to have to toy with Jane's emotions if she wanted to vilify Sienna. It wasn't the nicest thing to do but judging by Jane's reaction, it wouldn't be the hardest thing to do either. "She thinks she's better than you. Did you see how she has '50 other things to be worried about', over you?" Maybe that wasn't exactly how Sienna had phrased it... "Honestly, Jane, I think she's always been like that. I'm the one who has had to deal with this side of her, the side of her that thinks she's so much more important than you and I, and I was okay with that. Like, I can stand up to Sienna and deal with how toxic she can be, but now she's trying to do that to you and I think that's a step too far." Sydney stood up and placed Jane's phone back in her hand, comfortingly rubbing Jane's in the process. This was wrong... doing this was wrong, but Sydney was going to give it a shot. "First she posts about me, and then she posts about Charlotte... I think it only makes sense that she's going to come for you next."

Jane was falling for Sydney's biased influencing because it seemed like it made sense. Between how dramatic she could be, and how Sienna was normally such a good friend that she would put herself into uncomfortable situations just to make Jane happy, the sudden change seemed to make sense. Sydney's badmouthing seemed less like badmouthing than it did logical reasoning and when she quieted down to let Sydney speak, she was left chewing on her bottom lip nervously. "You don't think that she really wrote that about Lottie, though, right?" Jane asked. Her riled up mood had dropped when Sydney suggested that she might be the next target of what was apparently Sienna's wrath. She didn't argue that Sienna had written the post about Sydney because that, especially, did seem to make sense. With the way that dinner had went, and knowing the pent up anger that Sienna must have had over it, it seemed like she would want the world to know about that affair more than anyone else. But Charlotte? Why would Sienna go after her?

It was a good thing that Sydney was a quick thinker because she really didn't have any set reason to explain why Sienna would post about Charlotte. Sydney was sure that Sienna was behind that blog but even she couldn't come up with a reason for why Sienna would go after Lottie. "Think about it, Jane. Sienna probably suspected that you and I were getting tired of this bully that she's become, so she knew Charlotte was her only other option as a real friend. It would look bad for her to just suddenly run to Charlotte when you and I drop her, so in her crazy, delusional mind, it made sense for her to try to come out looking like the hero. She wrote that post about Charlotte, so that she could get closer to her by comforting her over it and making it seem like she genuinely wanted to be friends with her, and that she's just not a second-choice friend." It made sense to Sydney, but it was definitely possible that it was too complicated for Jane to follow.

Jane knew what Sydney was saying. She wasn't completely sure that she believed it, but she wasn't completely sure that she didn't believe it either. The person that Sydney was describing wasn't the Sienna that Jane loved, but maybe it was possible that there was a darker side in her. A side dark enough to secretly be the bad guy, just so she could be the good guy to your face. And if Sydney was so sure that she was going to come for her next, Jane had even more of a reason to be nervous. "I don't know... I guess that's possible."

The seed of doubt had been planted and that was all that Sydney needed to see for now. "I'm just trying to look out for you, but I guess we should enjoy our spa day. It'll be more fun with just the two of us anyway," she smiled, linking arms with Jane as they left her room. They were almost in the makeshift spa room when voices became audible, and with a few more steps, Sydney matched them to Carolina, Charlotte and Victoria. Even as children, Sydney had always brushed Victoria Walsh off as being a wannabe. Today, that assumption wasn't far from true, but while refusing to accept her as one of her own, Sydney had also failed to realize the potential in her. The potential aside from being an everyday minion. She received texts from Victoria frequently, commenting on how great the photos from her party looked, asking if she could get an invitation, complimenting her on an outfit, or a social media post, and so on. Most of the time, Sydney didn't reply because she didn't need to, but today, she decided it was time to take a closer look at Victoria. She had been hanging out with Sienna at Charlotte's event yesterday. Maybe she was worth more than Sydney pinned her to be. Without an ounce of care if she was interrupting something, Sydney tugged Jane into the kitchen where the girls were working. She opted to only acknowledge Victoria, since she had seen Carolina before, and simply wasn't in the mood to converse with Charlotte. "Tori, come hang out with Jane and I." It was a demand more than an offer, but in the presence of Carolina, who could potentially sway Jane's family's opinions of her, she kept a smile on.

"I know you can," Carolina agreed when Charlotte insisted that she could hold her own against Sydney and Jane. "But being prepared never hurts," she added with a wink as she slipped onto one of the high top chairs to the island and flipped open her laptop. Carolina knew that Charlotte was more involved in Constance Billard's social scene than she was. She probably wasn't as involved as the other Buchanan twin, but her presence was known nonetheless, and Carolina knew that she had even been friends with Sydney at one point. Maybe that was why Charlotte was calmer than Carolina thought she would be. Unlike her, Charlotte did have some experience dealing with these mean girls on a personal level, so even though this new rumor was really bad, it probably wasn't as much of a shock to Charlotte as it would be if something like that happened to her.

"I don't know, she should be on her way here," Carolina offered with a shrug when Charlotte asked about Victoria. She was ready to text Tori to ask her herself, when she saw that Sienna and Piper had texted her since Charlotte arrived. Both of them had similar messages: don't trust Tori. It was definitely random, especially with both coming only moments apart from each other, but Carolina didn't think too much of it, because she didn't know what she could think of it. She had only barely been briefed on drama and she was already sure that she didn't want to know any more of it, especially with Tori on her way to the house now. Before she could respond to either girl or text Tori herself, Tori finally texted her and said that she was here. "Speaking of the devil," Carolina laughed, "she's here now. Let me get her." With that, she was out of the kitchen and down the hall into the foyer where the elevator let out.

"Hey love!" Tori squealed, apparently in a very good mood as she burst out of the elevator and gave Carolina a tight squeeze.

It was strange and Carolina didn't hide it as she furrowed her eyebrows and flashed Tori a smile, but with a look of suspicion. "Happy to see me?" she returned jokingly, shrugging Tori's arms away as soon as possible.


"When am I not?" Tori beamed. "Let's get to work on these tours, though. And you never answered my text!"

"Charlotte's here," Carolina said, still a little taken aback by the enthusiastic greeting she had just gotten. Did it have anything to do with what Sienna and Piper were warning her about? Victoria seemed happy and energetic but that didn't seem like something that constituted any mistrust or worry. A second later, they were in the kitchen where Tori would be able to see for herself that it was just she and Charlotte. "So, now that we're all here, shall we begin?" Carolina questioned, sitting back down. She glanced at Charlotte over her laptop but couldn't give her any sort of look with Victoria so close by.


"I'm surprised to see you here," she chirped as a greeting to Charlotte, before smiling. "Pleasantly surprised, though." Victoria set up her laptop next to the girls and though she had ideas for the tours herself, waited for Charlotte to start the conversation about them. It didn't get very far before the trio were interrupted by Sydney and Jane. Victoria couldn't have cared any less about the latter, despite her being the reason for her currently elevated good mood, but it didn't take more than a millisecond for Victoria to flip her laptop shut and hop off of her chair when Sydney invited her to hang out. Her desperation was probably apparent by the way she nearly ran to the door at the offer, but Victoria didn't care. Sydney was cooler than Carolina and Charlotte combined, and if they wanted to say something to her about it, so be it. Charlotte had gotten a taste of her wrath, but there was more to come if she wanted to be a bitch.
"You girls don't mind, do you?" she said, though she didn't even wait for them to respond before disappearing into the hall with the duo.

Just as soon as Victoria had arrived, she was gone. She hadn't left with some excuse that she had work to do, or a family emergency, or even that she was tired and didn't feel like doing SGA planning. She left to hang out with Sydney and Jane... What the fuck?! Now, Carolina didn't need to hide her expressive look to Charlotte and when she was sure the girls were far enough down the hall, she vocalized it to. "She was the one who wanted to get together to plan these tours and now she bails? What the hell? Should I text her and tell her to come back?" Carolina didn't want to go down there and confront Victoria about it in front of Sydney and Jane. She didn't care about their opinions, but she also wasn't looking to throw herself into any drama. She did, however, shoot Sienna and Piper responses now.

To: Sienna
Is it bc she's replacing u in that terrible trio u were apart of with Barbie and airhead??? lol she just bailed on me and lottie to hang with ur bffs

To: Piper
lmao something about her has always been off. u no i don't do drama tho so u don't need to warn me ;)

After his phone call with Victoria, Brent considered that maybe she was right. Compared to Charlotte, he didn't have much to worry about in the social-image-being-ruined respect. In many ways, it wasn't like he had a social image at all. Being a "badass" had been cool for a year or so, since he was coming off of a long road of being a complete nerd, but now he was really just selling drugs and maintaining this side of his personality to help his family stay afloat. If anything, he preferred to blend into the background around most people and aside from a couple of congratulatory comments about dating Lottie from other guys in school, no one had said anything about his family. No one cared and someone's mother being on the verge of dying was something that even the biggest jerk at Saint Jude's would know was not comedic on any level. He hated the idea of his family being thrust into the spotlight, even if no one had cared, mostly because Charlotte had to have known that it was his family. There was absolutely no way that she didn't know, and Brent was positive that the class president had watched that video multiple times before it was shown to make sure that it was perfect. He liked messing with her and liked it when she messed with him back, but something like this just seemed like it was on a whole different playing field. There was still a part of him that wanted to text her and ask her what she was doing, but he had never been serious with Charlotte before and trying to have an emotional, real conversation would just be awkward and uncomfortable. Plus, Victoria had eased his concerns and the promise of a hefty payout over the gossip he leaked about Jane was enough for him to let her off the hook for promoting his mother's health crisis even further.

He didn't directly make any profit off of his deal with Jane and Piper last night, because all of Jane's money went into Piper's pocket, but it had technically just brought him money from Victoria too. Plus, he was sure that all it would take was one sale for Jane to be hooked again and that was going to pay off big this time around. He felt a little bit better over the whole ALS event fiasco, and with the guarantee of lots of money in his future, even better. Rather than return home and potentially have to deal with his brother, who was undoubtedly strung out on drugs, despite it being the middle of the day, Brent headed to the library. He had a few papers to start working on and planned on staying there until it closed. When he arrived twenty minutes later, he settled in at a table in a quite corner nook of the library, set up his laptop and put his ear buds in, although he wasn't playing any music, and sent Kelley a text. He considered texting Piper to tell her that he was going to need her to send Jane his way again soon, but decided not to push it. He thought about texting Charlotte for a while, but wasn't sure what to say. About twenty minutes into his writing, he decided to just send it. Being an ass to her was better than trying to seriously talk about the rumor and feeling uncomfortable.

To: Kelley
Come chill at the library

To: Charlotte
Telling people you're my gf now? I knew you were crazy about me, but calm down Buchanan

Sydney's accusation about Sienna had Jane second guessing a lot. Maybe it was simply dumb of her to trust Sydney at this point, but the way that she had said it made Jane think that it was possible. She added the pieces up in her head over and over, and with each time, she became a little more open to the idea of Sienna being manipulative. It was impossible for her to actually think that Sienna wasn't a good friend because they had years worth of history to prove against that, but maybe she was trying to ditch their friend group. Her text had made it seem like she wasn't willing to reconcile, at least, and right now, Jane was paranoid enough about what she and Piper had done. The last thing she needed was anyone putting her in the spotlight, and if Sienna was trying to link up with Charlotte, Jane considered that she would do the same with Piper as well. Jane liked Piper and probably trusted her more than Sienna and Sydney, but at this point, she wasn't sure if Piper would have her back either.

In an impulsive move, as they headed down the hallway, Jane responded to Piper and Sienna in the group. She didn't say anything to Sydney, partly because she had stopped a few feet back as she addressed Tori in the kitchen doorway, and partly because she didn't want this to seem like it was Sydney influencing her into doing anything. It indirectly was probably what Sydney had hoped would happen, but Jane wasn't thinking that deeply. She wasn't going to send them a long message about how they were being bad friends, because deep down she knew that their reasons not to come were completely valid, but she couldn't pass on an opportunity to be a little dramatic.

To: Sienna, Piper
k you are both really rude

She had been distracted with her phone for long enough that she couldn't protest inviting Victoria to their spa day until she had already accepted the invitation and ran over to them. It was like she didn't even try to hide how desperate she was to hang around them. Jane didn't know that Victoria disliked her a lot, but she disliked her herself. She had always seemed like a wannabe and though Jane had only originally rejected her as a child under Sydney's influence, she had never questioned the decision to outcast her. Even now, when puberty had clearly treated Victoria well and left her looking like someone who could fit in with them, Jane had no intention of befriending Tori, and she had no idea why Sydney would suddenly care about her either. "Um, what?" It was rude but Jane couldn't hide her confusion and annoyance with Sydney for inviting Tori to join them. As if she wasn't already anxious enough, Tori would make it impossible for her to relax any more or have a real conversation with Sydney. "I'll meet you down there, I need a drink." Rather than follow the girls down the hall, she excused herself to stop in the kitchen and as soon as she was in there, she glared at Carolina. "Tell your weirdo friend to stay in here with you," she ordered, only noticing Charlotte after she had spoken. She didn't formally greet Charlotte, but lightened her expression as she looked towards her, transforming it into more of a plea than a demand. Unlike Carolina, Charlotte was on the same level as her and Jane couldn't speak down to her. Especially not after last night, when despite being frantic about that post, Charlotte had still managed to help her with her school work. "I don't even know why she's in my house, but if she's part of your government thing, then keep her away from us."

It all happened in a blur - Adam's sudden rush of aggression, the way they had to force the needle into Adam's neck (which definitely made Sienna cringe and want to stop them), Adam's energy being depleted before he lost all consciousness - it all happened before Sienna could get another breath in and by the time she did, she exhaled on a tremor, the breath escaping her in small, rushed huffs. More than the shock of how Adam had to be controlled was the look in his eyes: flashing with some kind of tortured fury, they struck Sienna silent, so much so that she didn't even question when the blonde male was hoisted off of the ground and dumped into a wheelchair. It wasn't until Adam was rolled past her did she breathe again, sharing a concerned look with Connor before finally paying attention to Hailey.

"I want to know everything as soon as possible," Sienna demanded not soon afterwards, meeting Hailey's gaze unflinchingly despite the obvious horror and shock she was still in. "Hospital room, discharge date, everything." Like Connor, her mind was still trying to associate the writhing guy in a fit on the floor and the guy she could spend hours making music with. At the end of that train of thought, however, there was only one thing that Sienna could come to terms with: Adam was still her friend. And that meant she couldn't give up on him. She had to be here for him, at least to bash him in the head for not being honest with her and not asking for help. It reminded her of her turmoil with Jane's situation, which only served to make Sienna monotonously agree to packing some of Adam's things.

Sienna followed Connor wordlessly through the apartment and into Adam's bedroom, taking in the room they had once played video games in. Her eyes scoped out the entire surface area before falling on Connor, ears only just catching his whisper over the memory of shoving Adam off his bed because she had petulantly believed he cheated. It took a fraction of a second for Sienna to catch on to what he was saying, and when she did, she could only nod for a moment. "Yeah...I guess..." She said lowly, actually surprised by the tears that sprung to her eyes at the thought of where Adam's mind had been last night. And it made her all the more upset with his parents. Who the fuck left their son in another country when they're sick? But Sienna swiped at her eyes before a single tear could fall, digging her hands into a few of Adam's items. "Let's just pack his things and get out of here." As much as emotional Sienna would have lingered on the things that gave her memories, she didn't want to. Not here. Not when all she could think about was the fact that her friend had been alone all this time and she hadn't known.

It took them a good ten minutes to pack a few things for Adam, a few items of clothing, sheet music and his collection of classical CDs (Sienna knew he'd like that, at least), and a few other small items before calling it quits. Sienna couldn't have called back to Hailey quick enough, opting to reiterate her demand to be notified of all Adam-related news. Once she bid Hailey a good evening, Sienna led Connor out of the apartment and back to her family's vehicle, opting to drop Connor off wherever he needed her to. "Hey," she had called, just as he was about to leave, and grabbed his arm pleadingly. "Don't tell the guys about this...please. I-I-I know they weren't friends with him or anything, but...I just really don't need this getting out any further than us." Sienna knew that all it would take is some ignorant comment from one of Manhattan's elite and it would be all over. Adam's image would be completely ruined if it got out and more than likely, there'd be unnecessary teasing and everything. Sienna's imagination painted a vivid picture and while she knew Connor wasn't the type, he did hang out with Sienna and, inadvertently at times, Jane. As much as Sienna loved her friend, Jane would either be dismissive about it or make some unwitting remark, unaware at how dangerous a single breath from her person could be.

Once Connor was gone and Sienna was in her lonesome, she was about to dial up a friend when she got the notification of Jane's text. It was enough to cause her to let out an indignant noise and her fingers impulsively punched out a response. However, her thumb didn't press down on the send button. Instead, it hit delete and she busied herself looking at other notifications before going back to what she needed.

To: Lottie
No prob, chica. Omw

To: Carrie
Excuse the vanity, Sydney replacing me w/ the bitch riding her clit don't hurt a bit. Not exactly replaceable. Btw, omw.

To: Piper
Can you believe her? Smh. U coming or what?

Sienna didn't give herself time to think about Jane's text any longer nor the fact that Sydney was welcoming Tori into her folds. However, the latter fact was bothering her. If Sydney wanted a new friend, that was fine. Not that Sienna honestly thought she'd find one out of the many girls who want to be with Sydney just because it sounds good, not because they wanted to be her friend. Tori was a completely different story. Sienna didn't presume to know how much Tori wanted to be close to Sydney, but she did know she was un-trustworthy. And maybe, to an extent, Sienna was as well, but Sienna also prided herself on being a good friend and she had only gotten involved with Victoria to protect Charlotte. But now, Tori was no longer under Sienna's control and Sienna hated it. She didn't normally want to control people, but there came a point where she needed to at least know how to keep Tori from screwing everyone Sienna cared about over. However, Sienna wasn't the mastermind or evil genius. And she needed help.

"Well, well, well, haven't heard from you in a long time," Ricardo purred into the phone, or at least, that's how it sounded in Sienna's ears. Either way, it made her roll her eyes. "Puh-leaze, Ricky! It was twenty four hours ago. Besides, I'm surprised you're not out getting your boys intoxicated." She could practically envision his chuckle through the phone and she rolled her eyes again. "And here I was, trying to be a good little boy, and you tempt with that idea." Sienna re-crossed her legs, sitting back against the leathery seats. It was only a few seconds of silence before Ricky decided to talk again, noting that her quietness meant something. "So, I think we both know this isn't a friendly little call. What can I do for you?"

Sienna opened her mouth to speak, but only paused, swallowing back whatever impulsive response she would have typically given Rick. Was she really doing this? Getting Ricardo's help on manipulating people? She wasn't really manipulative, not to the extent that she felt like she had to go to in order to make Victoria get rid of that damn post. But that was what she had to remind herself - that she was only trying to make Victoria give in already and stop being pesky. "A certain little birdy's gotten out of her cage and I want to get her back." Rick reveled in his own pause, a smirk flitting across his face. "And the innocent little songstress comes for my help. Don't tell me you're walking on the dark side now, Sia." He saw her glower long before it appeared on her face. "Never said I was a good girl and it's not that deep. I just...I'm doing this for my friends." Rick grinned at the thought, picking up the glass of whiskey and sipping some of it. The sound of him swallowing shouldn't have been as ominous. "You're a smart girl, Sia. Think. What does your little birdy love more than anything?" He didn't give her a chance to answer, no he wanted Sienna to think on it. While others speculated on whether or not Sienna had a dark side, and if she'd actually - truly (since a little post was not the full extent of Sienna's vindictiveness, that much he knew) - use it, Ricardo liked fostering it. He wouldn't ever try to change Sienna, that wasn't his goal. But he did like knowing that she wasn't squeaky clean (not that he didn't already know that), that the little perfectionist pop star didn't have all white feathers. She was just as dark as he and Sydney.

There was no stopping the pout that formed on Sienna's face at being hung up on, but she didn't have time to mull that over. She thought about the things she had learned about Tori since catching her trying to post about Charlotte. It left Sienna in her silence, but it wouldn't be long before a light bulb clicked in her head. She just wouldn't able to act on it until she had taken care of seeing Carrie and picking up Charlotte.


Image

Once off the phone, Rick polished off his glass before sitting back in his chair coolly, folding one leg over the other in contemplation. He was a bit curious about what Sienna was getting herself into. From the way she spoke, he doubted the little "birdy" was Sydney. If that were the case, she would have simply called him to start up their kickboxing sessions again or text him about it. Not calling him about something like manipulating someone. It amused Rick, that much was certain, but it intrigued him enough to text a few of his followers to see if they heard anything new on the block about Sienna or anything. However, what was more interesting was the idea of going out with his own group, which Ricardo hadn't been able to do in too long. He needed to rectify that soon.

Rather decisive, he added both Vincent and Connor to a group message (since the last one they had been in was when he had his old phone), and text them both. Despite his statement yesterday, they actually hadn't had the time to catch up. He hadn't had the time to see how Connor was taking the Sydney sleeping with Vincent thing, the post, or even about the conversation he knew Vincent and Sienna had last night. The latter being another source of intrigue. The two hadn't acted in any particular manner. Sienna had been rather casual and went back to simply ignoring Vincent, pointedly hugging and greeting Rick when she had seen the guys together. It didn't mean that their conversation hadn't gone a particular way, but it did not mean anything. Not until Ricardo saw and spoke with Vincent himself. So, after making sure his message was sent, Ric grabbed a jacket, his wallet, and headed out for his town car.

To: Connor, Vincent
Whatever ur doin, drop it. We're goin out. I'm bored

"Thanks for inviting me! I am so in need of a spa day."

Sydney smiled, raising her eyebrows a tad as she nodded in response. She had acted out of character in inviting Victoria, and Jane's confused and flustered response proved that, but she wasn't going to be completely friendly to Victoria. She was only here until Sydney figured out how, if at all, she could be used to her benefit. After that, Sydney would have no remorse in Victoria returning to her status as the desperate little follower that she had been since grade school. She didn't feel bad for treating her as if she were disposable, because when it came down to it, she was. Victoria held more status at Constance than many of the other minions that flooded the comment's section on her Instagram pictures, but it wasn't enough to make her an obvious choice of friend. Without Sienna, and according to Piper's text to Jane, her too, Sydney's social circle was going to be a little lighter than normal. That still didn't constitute officiating Tori in as a real friend though, and Sydney cringed at the idea of how ignorant Tori had to be if she thought she really wanted to be friends with her all of the sudden.

"So, do you guys do this often?" Tori couldn't help but to be overzealous and continue to converse with Sydney despite her bare responses. She followed closely to Sydney as she navigated through the Lynch penthouse for the first time. Jane's father had to be one of the richest people in Manhattan, if he was not the richest, and their home reflected that. It wasn't much of a culture shock to Victoria, whose father had secured a nice net worth himself, but even that meant nothing to Sydney when she had friends who were that much more wealthy. Despite Jane being blatantly against her joining them, Tori tried to remain positive. Jane was just a dumb bitch in her mind anyway, and she preferred to hang out with Sydney one on one, without anyone there to get in the way anyway. Originally, she had felt bad for posting the note about Sydney and Vincent because it had done harm to Sydney's reputation. She still felt guilty for it, as if Sydney was actually a friend who she had betrayed, but it had clearly driven Sienna and Sydney apart. Just as Piper was seeing it as her chance to get closer to Sienna, Tori saw it as her opportunity to become Sydney's best friend. Finally. Jane was still possibly going to pose a problem but Victoria had no doubt that she could be easily shut down. The dirt that Brent had just given her would be a good start, but Tori wasn't going to post that yet. She needed to save that for when it was really necessary, and for now, she was already off to a good start.

"Mhmm," Sydney hummed in response. Spa days were a regular thing in their group. A lot of times they went to the many upscale spas that New York had to offer, but other days they just rented out the facialists and masseuses to treat them to a day of relaxation in the privacy of their home. Sydney was used to the days including Jane and Sienna and Piper, but she didn't want nor expect Sienna to come, and if Piper wanted to act like she was better than her, then Sydney wouldn't pretend to miss her for a second. There was still a part of her that was reeling over the audacity that Piper had to text Jane that, but she tried not to be distracted by the pettiness in this moment. She would deal with Piper later on, preferably when she had access to Jane's phone, but for now, she had to focus on Tori. "Go up to Jane's room and put on a robe. Hot stone massages do not work in school uniforms," Sydney advised, barely looking away from her phone to acknowledge Victoria, or the staff who she looked towards next. "Three cosmos, please." She was surprised that Jane being Jane, hadn't had drinks already waiting for them but couldn't pay it much mind when Victoria spoke up.

"Oh, I'm actually okay. I'll just have a water."

With a quirked eyebrow, Sydney let out a chuckle. "Spa days are for cosmos, Tori. Now run along, I want to get started before midnight."

Victoria couldn't object even though she wasn't interested in drinking. Having to sip at a vodka cocktail would be far less painful than being rejected by Sydney. Tori hoped so, anyway, considering that she rarely ever drank. Obliging to Sydney's last comment, Tori spun around on her heels and headed back into the hallway. She didn't know where Jane's room was, but figured that she could ask one of the many house staff she had seen around if she couldn't find it within a few minutes. She knew that she could pop back into the kitchen to ask Charlotte or Carolina, but she also knew how wrong of her it was to ditch them, and she didn't want to deal with that yet.

Conspiratorially, Sienna smiled and reclined in her seat comfortably, not even bothering to answer Piper. She would text her when she was near the coffee shop. But she had to send Rick her appreciation, even if it was only telepathically because her mind was reeling and a plan had formed. It was a bit dramatic, but it wouldn't be if it weren't Sienna and she had always claimed her vindictiveness. All she needed to do was find the right subjects and say the right words, and her plan would be set in motion. So excited, she even giggled before it formed into a small laugh, which died down only by the sound of her phone alerting her to yet another text message. Sighing, Sienna glanced down at her phone to see the message from Adam's caretaker, which sobered her just a bit.

To: Hailey
Thank you.

She didn't have time to think about the fact that he wouldn't be in the hospital for too long. Sienna wasn't particularly familiar with schizophrenia, though she was surely going to know a bit more by the end of the weekend. She had to. This was for her friend and her friend needed her. At least, in order to know how to make adjusting to his disease and back to school life. Adam wasn't allowed to hide from her, not anymore. And now that she knew a good little bit of what was going on with him, there was no way she was turning her back without a good fight. Damn straight. Giving her driver the upcoming directions, Sienna went into a nice conversation with Esmee via text messaging. She apparently was eating a light dinner with her new friend, Gabriella, and doing homework. The vault key was in Sienna's room and Esmee had apparently already picked her own dress, lamenting that she was upset with Sienna's choice. Of course, calling her big sister a 'show off' which Sienna honestly couldn't deny. She was. She basically had her dress planned the second Piper said she was doing a masquerade, had always wanted to wear it but never had a good enough event. Cynthia had gotten in altered, so all Sienna had to do was go try it on.

Soon enough, they were outside of the location Piper said she would be at and Sienna shot her a quick text, signifying that she was waiting for her. She didn't feel the need to get out of the vehicle since Sienna had a mission and stopping at the moment was not necessary. In fact, she was on several missions and one of them included a nice email she sent to a pretty alumnae who served on SGA six years ago. She also sent a text to both of her girls to let them know what she was up to, also one to her boyfriend, who she hadn't heard from in a minute.

To: Charlotte
B there soon. Did u guys talk about anything? Also, u mind if I bring Piper? Promise she won't ruin our night & if she does i'll kick her out ;D

To: Carrie
Also, if the bitch ditched u, then u should just come over w/ me & Lottie. U kno Piper right?

To: Piper
Outside, love.

To: Vincent
Should I be worried?

It didn't seem to take long for Piper to get in and Sienna smiled, genuinely, at the redhead. While she still was curious over Piper, who had remained a bit of a mystery since they met her, Sienna couldn't help but feel just slightly grateful. While Jane seemed to be stuck in some constant cycle of me-me-me and she wasn't on speaking terms with Sydney, Piper not limiting her presence in Sienna's was a comforting thought. "Hey, love. We're picking up Charlotte and maybe Carolina from Jane's, and then heading to my place." It clicked in her head, only a beat later, that Piper might be the only one - other than her sister, that she could share just a bit of her thoughts or plans with. So, Sienna sized the redhead up for only a moment longer before proposing, "Care to visit a school with me next week? Keeping my options open for college and I'm getting a tour scheduled. You in?" Even if Piper didn't agree to going, Sienna would still visit the school. She just needed to be crafty either way. For the moment, though, she would try to keep the rest of her plans to herself. They were getting close to the Lynch home soon and she couldn't let any of it leak to the two socialites she knew were inside.

Carolina really had tried to be civil with Jane to show Nicole and Adrian how grateful she was for letting her stay in their home, but it was getting hard. Really hard. Carolina wasn't a stranger to being a wallflower. She preferred to watch drama go down from afar, where there was no chance at her being pulled in, than being in the middle of it. However, that didn't mean that she let people walk all over her. In her case, she just happened to hang around people whose priorities didn't include petty fights. This school year was certainly testing that though, and living in the same house as someone who was the epitome of a selfish bitch only made it worse. Carolina did not want to snap at Jane, and especially not in front of Charlotte who was already dealing with enough, so she took a deep breath before acknowledging what the brunette had just said. Maybe it wasn't what Jane had said, so much as to how she had said it. Carolina wasn't stupid enough to expect Jane to accept her as an equal, but at the same time, she wasn't going to settle with being spoken to as if she was part of the house staff. Jane had been dealt a good card in being born into wealth, but if it weren't for her father's money, she wouldn't be any better than Carolina. She wasn't smarter book wise or street wise, she wasn't kinder or more compassionate, and she sure as hell wasn't polite or welcoming. "If she's bothering you so much, you tell her to come back in here. Maybe she'll stay for dinner with you, too. My sister said she's going to bring home McDonald's. You like Big Macs, right?" Carolina knew that she was bordering on the realm of playing dirty, but she needed to shut Jane down before she got the idea that she could be walked all over. Besides, she really didn't know how serious Jane's eating disorder was and truly thought that she was just one of those girls who crash dieted to fit in.

She only now noticed that Sienna had texted her twice, and couldn't resist snickering at the first message. It was a nice distraction from the bitch who stood on the opposite side of the island, and she had half a mind to show it to Lottie. She only decided against it when she was reminded of how she wanted to avoid any involvement in drama, and she didn't need it getting back to Victoria that she was gossiping about her. Not because she was scared of Tori, but because it was just too petty and unnecessary for her tastes. When it was apparent that they weren't going to get any student government work done, Carolina carefully closed her laptop and shot Lottie an apologetic look. "Want to reschedule this for a time when our VP decides to actually participate?" She looked towards Jane again, and couldn't stop herself from turning to bitch mode again. It only seemed fair, since Jane hadn't made any attempts to turn her's off since Carrie first moved in. "Well, we're leaving for Long Island any minute, so hopefully for you, Tori does choose to stay. I know you're not a big eater." She gave Jane a long, closed-mouth smile before again turning to her phone.

To: Sienna

    "I know you can, but being prepared never hurts," Lottie returned her wink with a wink of her own and a chuckle. She grabbed her own computer out of her bag before setting it down on the counter and unlocking it. She only looked up when she heard Carolina speaking again. "I don't know, she should be on her way here," She slightly shrug before turning to her phone to see a message from Connor. She smiled smiled softly as she picked up her phone and started to respond back to him.

    To : Connor

    You are seriously amazing! <3 I'll call you later tonight.

    She was about to set her phone down, she looked back to Carolina. "Speaking of the devil, she's here now. Let me get her." Lottie just nodded before watching her walk away. She decided it was for the best to put her phone in her bag where no one could sneak a look at any messages she received. She may not have proof the Tori was up to something but, it didn't mean she was going to completely have her guard down around her. She brought her bright blue eyes back up towards the entrance as she heard footsteps just to see Tori and Carolina. She smiled and waved towards Tori. "Hey, Tori." She let the two seat down before going back to her computer to pull up her checklist for everything that needed to be done. Something she had gotten done between her stress out sessions the previous night.

    "So, now that we're all here, shall we begin?"

    "I'm surprised to see you here," Lottie bit her lip slightly and raised her eyebrow slightly as her eyes went from Tori to Carolina before going back to Tori right as she saved herself. "Pleasantly surprised, though." Lottie just cleared her throat before fixing a piece of hair behind her ear and chuckling to try and get rid of the awkwardness. "Well, thank you. 'Sides, the the best way to get my mind off my shocking 'love life', that was so shocking it even shocked me, is to get some work done, you know?" She chuckled again before turned back to Carolina. "So, as far as the tours and everything I was thinkin' it would be a cool idea to--.." Again, she heard footsteps and softly groaned in annoyance. She hated being interrupted and it only got worst when she saw it was Jane and Sydney. She smiled towards the two, but mostly Jane only to be completely overlooked by the queen bee herself as she started to talk to Victoria. "Tori, come hang out with Jane and I." She coughed softly in surprise as she looked at Victoria. She knew without a fact the girl was going to go, she would choose Sydney over her first born if she had to in all honesty.

    "You girls don't mind, do you?" Lottie just shrugged. "I guess s--.." Before she could finish Tori was gone as was Jane and Sydney. Lottie sighed as she shook her head and turning towards Carolina with an awkward smile on her face. "She was the one who wanted to get together to plan these tours and now she bails? What the hell? Should I text her and tell her to come back?" Could Lottie just cut a break, she had enough stuff going on the last thing she needed was to go and scurry after Tori. In all honesty, Lottie and Carolina could do this on their own and be ready to go to Long Island in no time. "I mean, go get if you want. I kinda indifferent whether she's here or not, you know?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow before hearing her phone ring in her bag. She smiled towards Carolina before reaching for her phone and reading the name. She groaned as she eyeballed the name for a moment, deciding if she should text back and maybe add more fuel to the fire or not text him and let him get away with a smart ass comment about her being crazy about him. As if! But, she also didn't want to add fuel to the fire, what if he was behind it or he helped out someone get that picture? The last thing she needed was to have him show so text by her that seemed flirty when it really wasn't. She opened her phone, so it said she read it before replying, and reading another text from Sienna and leaving her phone on the counter seeing that Tori had left. But, she did grab the water bottle from her bag and put it on the counter.

    To : Barclay

    Barclay. Not the time.

    When her eyes went back up she saw Jane rushing in and talk to Carolina, not even seeing the blonde. "Tell your weirdo friend to stay in here with you," She hid her smile in her hand before seeing Jane turn towards and softening her expression and Lottie offered a smile. I don't even know why she's in my house, but if she's part of your government thing, then keep her away from us." She raised an eyebrow as she took a sip of her water.

    "If she's bothering you so much, you tell her to come back in here. Maybe she'll stay for dinner with you, too. My sister said she's going to bring home McDonald's. You like Big Macs, right? She coughed as she moved the bottle from her lips and covered her mouth. She didn't say a word as she kept her eyes on the two new sisters. She just kept her eyes in her computer as Carolina closed her computer and sent her a look. [color=#]"Want to reschedule this for a time when our VP decides to actually participate?"[/color] She nodded with a small smile. "That's fine with me, I'm free most of this week." She saw her phone ringing as a picture of her and Rosie popped up on the screen. "One second ya'll, I think Rosie's here. I'll be right back." She excused herself from the two as she walked into the hallway. "Hey, I'm in the lobby."

    "Okay, I'll get Carolina to let you up. Alright, bye." She hung up as she saw a text from Sienna. She read it and quickly sent a response, before she closed her phone she looked at the text from Brent and reread it, she also read her which actually was probably one of the harshest she had ever sent to him. And besides, did she really want to coward away from him just because of some stupid gossip? No, never. She would never let a sly remark get past like that! So, she decided to send another message.

    To : Sienna <3

    Haha, no it's totally fine! The more the merrier, right? ^.^

    To : Barclay

    And Brent, how many times do I have to tell you? Drug dealers aren't sexy to me and I have standards, so you know that rumor wasn't from me. Sorry to bust your bubble. :(

    Ah. Everything was heading back on track, Sienna was being a good friend, Brent was being a pain in her ass, and her sister seemed to finally let the whole keeping a secret from her thing go. Even if the secret was a lie. She walked back into the kitchen with a smile on her face before clearing her throat. "'Scuse me guys, but can one of you let Rosie up from the lobby?" She asked, keeping the smile on her face, trying to lessen the tension.

Between Carolina's heartless taunts regarding her eating disorder and hearing from someone other than Sydney, that Sienna had invited people out to her Long Island house, Jane's face sported a very obvious scowl. Not only did she feel like Carolina was being mean for no reason (which wasn't exactly true), but she also felt like the way that the insults she were using weren't fair game. Her disorder was something that had been ignored for years and it was only when Nicole had come into the picture that she was forced to address it. In many ways, it was something to be thankful for, but at the same time, Nicole, and now Carolina, had used it as a tool to scare Jane into doing things. Nicole had turned it into the ultimate threat by convincing her father (with good reason) to send Jane away for the summer, but Carolina using it as a dig, especially in front of Charlotte, made Jane feel equally bad. She hadn't like Carolina before this, but she didn't think she would ever like her now. She wanted to tell her to fuck off but Jane was caught off guard by the low blow that she wasn't thinking as quickly as she wanted to. Luckily, Charlotte excused herself for a reason that Jane was too preoccupied to hear, and now, she pressed herself to the island that separated them. "Who do you think you are? I swear to God, I will make sure that you and your whore of a sister are back on the streets if you ever --"

"Shhh, don't threaten me, Jane." Carolina pressed a finger to her lip to show Jane that she needed to silence herself. She didn't mind that she was addressing Jane as if she were a child, because that was all she was. A spoiled little brat who started kicking and screaming when she didn't get her way and Carolina would be damned if she let that scare her. She would have been able to deal with that, had Jane not tried to act big and bad in the process. Maybe what she had said about the McDonald's was unnecessary, but Jane had started this little war days ago and this was really the first time that Carolina had stood up for herself. She couldn't help it if maybe all of those little digs that Jane had sent her way were pushing her to react now. "I promise that you're the only person who'll suffer from doing that." Maybe Jane was trying to take a page from Sydney in an attempt to be intimidating but it worked even less coming from Jane than it would have from the blonde. With Charlotte only a room away, and Sydney and Tori lingering elsewhere, Carolina decided that it was best not to really get into it with Jane here. Not only was she not trying to make a scene, but she didn't feel like having to explain to her sister why her fist forced Jane into the hospital.

Jane was reeling, trying to formulate some retort that would be cold enough to shut Carolina down, but it didn't come to her by the time that Rosie reentered. She informed them that Rosie was there, and Jane was quick to respond. "Of course I'll let her up, Lottie!" she volunteered, darting towards the kitchen's intercom box. She quickly gave Rosie access to the apartment and then spun back around to look at Carolina. "Do you even know how to use one of these? I mean, it's not like you needed one wherever you used to live. No one's going to try to break into an apartment building in the projects, right? Like, it's you people who try to break into our buildings." To stress that this was her house, and to also avoid furthering the dispute with Carolina, she spun around as soon as the words had left her mouth to wait for Rosie in the foyer.

Jane was gone before Carolina could respond, and it was probably for the best. She didn't appreciate Jane acting like she knew anything about her upbringing, especially when she spoke about it so ignorantly. Carolina certainly had not grown up in a home like this but she was not brought up in the projects, and Jane's ignorance regarding her own words rubbed her the wrong way. The same probably could have been said about her regarding her eating disorder comments, but Carolina was still set on the idea that Jane had started this petty feud and she was only responding to defend herself. "Sorry that you have to deal with this," Carolina rolled her eyes, though trying to be sincere with Charlotte. She was sure that the blonde had experienced more of Jane's antics than she had, but still, with their new relationship, it felt necessary to apologize on Jane's behalf. "Sia's on her way, thank god. Is Rosie coming out with us?"

It was probably time to return to Sydney but Jane had no desire to spend an afternoon with Victoria Walsh. She didn't know how to get rid of her, since Sydney apparently wanted her around and neither Carolina nor Charlotte seemed like they were willing to tell her to go away either. The only option left was Rosie, who Jane impatiently waited to arrive in the elevator. Rosie was just as pretty as Charlotte, but in Jane's mind, ten times more fun and ten times more bitchy. She wasn't exactly a bitch, but she definitely wasn't as nice as Charlotte and Jane would never describe Rose as being a pushover like she would Charlotte. As she waited for Rose, she searched through the texts she had received over the last few minutes and Piper's stood out more than any of the others. Jane was feeling even more feverish than earlier so it was impossible for her to resist replying with that same irrational influence.

To: Piper
omfg she's having a big party on long island tonight and she invited charlotte and carolina.... yes CAROLINA.... and not any of us? you know that's rude pipe!

and i need you to bring me the ones that he gave you. he must've given me a really low dose bc i can tell mine are def not working at all


Jane, of course, was unaware that Sienna had also invited Piper out to her house, and though no one had ever suggested that Sienna was having a party, it was in Jane's nature to exaggerate it. It wouldn't make much sense for her to be offended if she believed that Sienna really was just having a few girls over to console Charlotte over the rumor. If she spun it into Sienna hosting a party to establish herself in a new group of friends, and purposely not inviting Jane or Sydney, or with her knowledge, Piper, it made it easier to believe Sydney's accusation regarding Sia. Jane didn't necessarily want to believe that, though. Sienna had become just as good of a friend to her as Sydney and in the same way that Sydney betraying or disrespecting her had never been enough to turn Jane against her, the same could be said for Sienna. Jane was too reliant on her friends emotionally and physically to actually cut anyone out on her own. With Sydney in her ear though, it was proving to be easier than she wanted.

The elevator door opened soon after she sent the text and Jane barely gave Rose a moment to step out of the elevator car before bombarding her with a hug and words. "Hey girly! Okay, I know you're here for that government stuff your sister does, or whatever, and I know you guys are leaving to go to Sienna's party soon, but before you go, you have to tell Victoria to leave too. Sydney and I are trying to have a peaceful night and like, I don't like her and I don't want her in my house but obviously Sydney's going to get mad if I tell Tori to get out when she said she could stay. So, will you make Lottie get rid of her for me? Pleaseeeeeee?"

Piper Vine & Sienna Alvarez

Piper just ordered a caramel iced latte when her phone buzzed. Paying the barista, she walked out to the car and smiled as she slid in. "Hello!" The model greeted happily as she shut the door behind her. As Sienna informed her of their plans for the night, she felt her phone vibrate again. She ignored it for now though. Seeing as Sienna and Charlotte were pretty close, surely the recent scandal with Constance class president meant an emergency meeting for the two girls. Piper didn't mind though. Charlotte wasn't going to interrupt her plans anyway. "A girls night. Sounds like fun. I'm sure Charlotte could use it." Piper finally decided to check her phone, and her mouth hung open. Jane really couldn't make things any worse could she?

This gave her an idea. Deleting the second text about the pills, so Sienna couldn't see it, she put the phone up to the singer's face. "Looks like Jane is feeling left out. Can you believe her? She knows we don't like Sydney like that, and yet she gets mad when we go off and have fun of our own." This was just the text Piper needed to incriminate Jane.

It didn't take long for Sienna to be distracted from the inquiry she had just tossed Piper's way. After the redhead confirmed she was down for a girl's night, they had both looked to their phones for the latest text messages. Sienna ended up smirking at Vincent's response, feeling a bit more ease knowing that he had probably just forgotten to reply to her earlier. With everything that happened thus far, the last thing she needed was something else geared to put them at odds with one another. Before she could type out a witty retort, Piper's phone was in her face and the model was speaking about Jane.

And Sienna didn't even try to hide her irritation. "I'm done," she declared, tossing her phone down on the seat beside her and folding her arms over her chest, legs still crossed demurely. But her head shook side-to-side in disbelief and she could feel her own little temper tantrum waiting to happen. "I am fucking done with her right now! Who the fuck said I was throwing a party? And why the fuck does it even matter to her? She's so stuck up under that bitch that she can't even think clearly right now! I mean, like always, something goes down with me and Syd, she's by Sydney's side NO MATTER WHAT, but I'm the bad guy here? Unbe-fucking-lieveable!" Sienna still shook her head in anger and hurt, body wracked with the tremors of the emotions she could barely keep to herself. And here she thought she would go upstairs to the Lynch's home and at least talk to Jane, try to reason with her. Sienna didn't even want to see her at this point!

Piper was going to respond about the college invite, but between the text from Jane, and Sienna starting to yell she honestly forgot just that fast. This was the exact reaction she was hoping for too. With Jane now on Sienna's bad side as well, this gave her a huge opening. She looked at Sienna apologetically as she put her phone back into her purse. "Look, I'm sorry that all of this is happening to you." From an outsiders perspective this did seem like a lot of drama to happen in such a short time span, but this was just the life of an Upper East Sider.

"I'm sure in time Jane will come to her senses and realize that sticking to Sydney like that. We'll just chalk it up to the folly of youth." Piper placed her hand comfortingly on Sienna's shoulder and gave her a gentle squeeze. "How about this, we just tell Carolina to come down? You're too emotional to see Jane and Sydney right now. I don't want anything dramatic to happen."

The gentle lilt in Piper's voice as the redhead attempted to console her did nothing to appease the storm brewing in Sienna's core, and she ran a weary hand through her hair, unraveling whatever wavy style she had implemented into her honey-hued locks but she was too frustrated to care anymore. Instead of immediately answering her friend, Sienna turned her gaze to the window, unwanted tears hot and stinging at the back of her eyes.

She couldn't even help the scoff of disbelief that erupted from her throat at Piper's optimism. Of course, Jane wouldn't realize anything. She never did. Sienna and Sydney fought, Jane would stick with Sydney all the while begging Sienna to just make up with her already, and then Sienna would eventually have to be the one to cave because she hated seeing Jane upset. It was their unending cycle and at this point, after having solidified with Sydney herself that they couldn't just make up that fast anymore (and Sienna simply not wanting to), she couldn't do it. She couldn't sacrifice her own comfort and sanity for Jane's sake. Not this time. She was too emotionally tired in that group after such an outcome and for once, she just needed some understanding on the heiress' part. However, like always, she would come second on Jane's totem pole and damn it all, Sienna wanted to be selfish and be somebody's first.

Instead of saying anything about Jane's coming to any type of realization, Sienna addressed the latter portion of Piper's address, offering the redhead a shaky smile. "You're right, that's probably for the best," she stated, combing her hair back from her face idly before picking up her phone to send out a few texts. "Text Carrie to be downstairs soon. We're just around the corner and I'll tell Lottie not to let Rosie get too comfortable up there, if she's there." Immediately afterwards, Sienna set to texting Jane, Vincent, and Charlotte. After all, old habits died hard and Sienna, while frustrated and growing less tolerant by the second, had never stayed too mad at Jane for long.

To: Jane
J, I'm not trying to be rude. I'm tired of making up with Sydney so fast when we're obviously not over whatever we're not over with. It's pointless and you want us to be friends again, right? Well, that's gonna take time. So, for now, I'm not coming for spa night or a sleepover. I'm doing a girl night with Lottie cuz I know she needs one and invited a few friends I know that would make her feel better. I wanted 2 invite u, but ur with Syd & Lottie barely likes her. You know that, I know that, and I'm not talking to Syd either.

To: Vince
Don't worry. I kno the perfect way 2 make it up 2 u

To: Lottie
Pipe's texting Carrie now. We're around the corner, so just come down. I can't see Jane rite now

Piper decided to just let Sienna simmer for a bit, but she did take this chance to pull out her phone once more to text Carolina. She might as well text Jane back as well.

To: Carolina
Hey we are almost there! Head down if you're coming, which I hope you are :)

To: Jane
I haven't heard anything about a party Jane, but who told you that? Also I'm sure he just gave you the wrong dosage or something. We'll see him again at my party probably. You better not tell Sydney about this!

Rosie was on her phone, scrolling through her social media as she walked into the elevator and even in the elevator she only looked away from her screen to look at the doors for a moment as they closed before they started to go up. She groaned as she went up and down her Twitter and Facebook. All she could see was Charlotte this and Charlotte that. She loved her sister to death, she was her best friend but, dear god could people not get over the fact that maybe Charlotte Buchanan was dating Brent Barclay? It was as if they didn't care about the part of her giving him money, all they cared about was the part about Charlotte dating the local drug dealer and the picture that went along with the post. Which she had to admit was a pretty fantastic photo to look like they were going to kiss. Hell, she even thought they were going to before she saw the look on her twin's face before pulling her away to the event. She hummed to the elevator music before seeing the doors open and looking up to see Jane.

Before she could even say 'hi' to the girl, Jane had pull her into a hug. It caught the blonde off guard as she staggered back on her heels for a moment before putting her arms around her and listening to Jane start talking.

"Hey girly! Okay, I know you're here for that government stuff your sister does, or whatever, and I know you guys are leaving to go to Sienna's party soon, but before you go, you have to tell Victoria to leave too. Sydney and I are trying to have a peaceful night and like, I don't like her and I don't want her in my house but obviously Sydney's going to get mad if I tell Tori to get out when she said she could stay. So, will you make Lottie get rid of her for me? Pleaseeeeeee?"


The whole time Jane spoke, Rose had a smirk on her face and couldn't help herself from laughing at the last part and trying to cover her laughter with her hand before calming herself down a bit to speak. "Janie, two thangs," She said as she put up two fingers and she spoke with her super thick Southern accent which compared to Charlotte made Lottie just as Northern and high class as Sydney and Jane combined! "First, there ain't no party goin' on up there. We're goin' up there to get Lottie's mind off the whole dating Brent bullshit story. Secondly; you expect me to make Charlotte, Little Miss. 'I can do no wrong', Sweet-As-A-Suga'-Cube, Barbie doll lookin', curve havin', Charlotte Buchanan get rid of someone a.k.a kick someone out of your house. She chuckled as she raised an eyebrow, shook her head, and looked down at Jane. "Oh, that's funny." She said through her smile. "Lottie's not about to get anyone out of anywhere. 'Sides, Tori hates Lottie, so she wouldn't leave anyway. I don't see why you can't just do it yourself. Fuck what Sydney thinks, it's your house or get Carolina to do it."

"It doesn't matter, she still didn't invite me so obviously she's not being a good friend to me either way," Jane decided. Rosie's counter claim that they were just leaving the city to distract Charlotte started to seem possible but Jane couldn't accept the idea of not being invited to something, even when it didn't involve her in the slightest. The fact that Carolina had been invited over her, even when it made complete sense, offended her even further. Rosie's next assertion that there was no way someone as sweet as Charlotte would kick Tori out made sense to, but Jane was equally as unready to accept that. If Tori hated Charlotte, than what harm could come of Charlotte being nasty back? Jane was clearly underestimating Tori's vengeful tendencies, but she thought that Charlotte had far less to lose than she did. There was no way that Sydney would stand for her kicking Victoria out minutes after she had just invited her to stay.

It made no sense that Jane allowed Sydney to have that much control, especially in her own house, but Jane was used to that by now. She usually trusted that Sydney had her best interest in mind and since childhood, had accepted that Sydney would always be the decision maker in their group. That probably went hand in hand with her unrealistic expectations for Piper and Sienna to just let Sydney walk all over them like she allowed, but at moments like this, there was a glimmer of understanding of their perspectives. It didn't stop her from wanting to go against Sydney, but she still couldn't do it herself. "And you know it's not that easy, Rose! First of all, Carolina is less welcome here than Tori is. She's actually going to be added to the list of people who are never allowed in my house again after today, so you need to do it. We all know you're the sassy one anyway." Jane tried to use a serious voice in hopes that it would sway Rosie her way, but it was hard when she knew that what Rosie said was true. It didn't make sense for anyone to tell Victoria to leave besides her, and regardless of who said it, someone was going to end up on Sydney's bad side. Jane didn't consider that Sydney needed her more as a friend now than she needed her and though she wouldn't say it directly, she was scared of pissing Sydney off today.

Before she could say any more to Rosie, her phone alerted her to text messages that Sienna and Piper sent her. She considered continuing her impulsive streak and sending Sienna a message about how it was mean to not even try inviting her and how unfair it was for her to stop being friends with her just because she was in a fight with Sydney. However, she heard footsteps around the corner and just as her attention shifted as she prepared to tell off the innocent housekeeper that she expected to be headed her way. Instead, it was Victoria, and in an instant, Jane spun around with a worried look on her face. "It's her!" She hissed, grabbing Rosie's hand as she pushed her back, closer to the closed elevator door. "What do I do? Should I say something?! I can't believe Sienna and Piper just wouldn't come over! It's their fault that I even have to deal with this!"

Rosie groaned softly as she grabbed Jane by the shoulders and shook her a bit. "Jane, piece of advice? Get it together! It's your house not Sydney's." She said soft enough where Tori wouldn't be able to hear her. The blonde looked her in the eye as she started the pep talk Jane. "You want her gone? Say something, wanna be a little follower and play second best to Victoria for the rest of the night then by all means. Don't say a work either way--.." Before Rose could finish, Charlotte appear with a small smile as she cleared her throat.

"There y'all are." Rosie said as she turned to her sister. "Yup, what's up." Rose asked before Lottie started to use sign language towards her. "Sienna's here but, wants us to come down instead of her coming up here." Rosie kept her eyes as she nodded. She knew Lottie would be too sweet to just outright say that they were leaving. Rose nodded as she turned back to Jane with a smile and wink. "You got this. Just think, what would Rosie do?" Rose smirked as Lottie rolled her eyes. "You're so lame." The two twins walked off just as Tori walked past them towards Jane's direction. Still speaking sign language, Lottie raised an eyebrow as she did so. "What would Rosie do, really? What was that about? Rosie just shrugged as she signed back. "I'll tell you later."

Jane was now left to her own devices. Although she considered just going with the flow and allowing Victoria to ruin her day, what Rosie said resonated with her and she was quickly growing more uneasy. The feeling certainly influenced her responses to Sienna and Piper, who she texted before stepping into the hallway and catching up with Tori.

To: Sienna
call me later pleasee

To: Piper
i need them tonight piper! tell him to drop them off at your place and i'll pick them up from there! and i obv won't tell sydney but you can't tell sienna either since you're bffs with her now??

"Um, Tori?" Jane called out, speeding up to step in front of Victoria.In a matter of two seconds, she went from agreeing that Rosie was right, to considering backing out, and then to reassuring herself that this was her house and what she said went. Still, she couldn't be as upfront about it as she was sure Rose could have done. Jane definitely possessed bratty tendencies and could be less than nice when needed, but that courage tended to fade when she was faced with real face-to-face confrontations. "I really don't feel well so like... I think I have to reschedule the spa day for some other time." A.K.A. never! "I just don't want to get you guys sick... you can tell Sydney if you want." It was already difficult enough for her to kick Tori out with an excuse, so it would have been impossible for her to actually be direct about just not wanting her there. She couldn't think of a way to do it without making Sydney leave too, though she doubted the blonde would leave as willingly as Tori. That didn't stop Jane from leaving Tori in the hallway only seconds after speaking and seeking refuge in her room with the door locked behind her. She knew that it was still cowardly to not confront Sydney about why she would ask Victoria to stay and how uncomfortable it made her, but Jane was confused about everyone's intentions. Sydney had already made her feel uneasy enough about Sienna and she didn't want to hear any more accusations to confuse her about who to trust any further. Plus, she figured that if she did manage to get rid of both of them, maybe she would be able to pick up the drugs from Piper.

Piper's text couldn't have come at a better time. Between the altercation with Jane, Victoria's vibes in general today, and having Sydney in the same house as her, Carolina was more than ready to leave the state. Sienna's Long Island house would suffice, though, especially since she was only going to be surrounded by people she liked. When it came to Sienna, it felt like drama was inevitable and Carolina had come to terms with the dramatic tendencies being part of her friend's personality, but she doubted there would be much excitement tonight. Rosie always had an edge to her (which Carolina appreciated and could get a laugh out of), but Charlotte was the nicest girl she knew, Piper was good when she wasn't surrounded by the popular crowd, and Carolina assumed that Sienna had had enough drama since school started to last a lifetime. She had never been to Sienna's second home but if her family's New York apartment said anything, it was sure to be gorgeous.

"It looks like they're here. I'll go get my things and meet you down there, okay?" Carolina said to Charlotte. Following the blonde's confirmation, she grabbed her laptop from the counter and sped upstairs to her bedroom. Luckily, she had chosen a different hallway than the only populated by Jane and Victoria and only passed by the room that Sydney was being pampered in. Before today, the only bad feelings that Carolina had for Sydney seemed petty and unfair. They were all based off of rumors regarding the blonde and how cold she could be. Never once had Sydney acknowledged her, but Carolina never complained about that because it meant that she was never bullying her. Sydney had no reason to be her friend and for the most part, Carolina didn't want to be her friend anyway. Their conversation in Jane's room had been short, probably due to Carolina's curtness, but even there, she had no reason to truly dislike Sydney. Sure, her invitation to hang out with her and Jane seemed to be superficial or based on ulterior motives, but there was no real proof behind that. Even the bad feelings that had arose after Sydney "stole" Victoria from them didn't seem to justify the distaste that Carolina had developed for the queen bee. Still, they were there, and Carolina was thankful that she wasn't forced to converse with her again.

She moved quickly in her new bedroom, tossing a few things into her bag before sending her sister a quick text message explaining where she was going. On her way to the elevator, she again was granted with the luck of not running into anyone, and she was soon out of the hotel lobby and hurrying towards Sienna's town car. Rosie and Charlotte had beaten her down there, and she greeted them all with a small smile. "Hey chicas," she said, mostly to Piper and Sienna who she hadn't seen after classes ended. "So, what's the plan for tonight?" Carolina was definitely low-maintenance and wasn't expecting anything big. In fact, she was kind of hoping it would be the simple girl's night that she expected it to be. However, Sienna was the girl who always had something interesting planned so Carolina was interested in hearing if there was anything specific on the agenda. She wanted to continue and ask Piper how Thomas was feeling after his run-in with trouble, but she wasn't sure how specific Piper was with her friend's about her situation. Carolina knew that she wasn't exactly honest about where she was living or what her family situation was like, but she understood that. Carolina was always comfortable with the fact that she was not being raised by her birth family, but that was because her foster family had become the realest family she could have, and more so, that she didn't care to fit into the typical Constance Billard profile. She didn't have a lot of money and doubted that she ever would, so she wasn't going to pretend she did.

As they waited for the girls to come downstairs, Sienna busied herself with texting one of her mentors. The older woman was not privy to texting Sienna everyday and it was the same vice versa, but it was during her more stressful days that she did seek that comfort and contact. It was just a bit rude, being so enraptured by her phone when there was someone beside her whom she could speak with, but Sienna needed the advice of someone older and the woman on the phone was someone she had trusted since she was thirteen. It was in the middle of speaking about a business endeavor that the car door was opened and the Buchanan siblings entered. Sienna glanced up with a bright smile and exclaimed, "Lottie!" Of course, she was happy to see Rose as well, but it was no secret which sibling she was closest to and Sienna reached over to hug Charlotte first, and then Rose. Besides, with all that had been occurring recently and despite Piper's comfort and support, Charlotte's had been unending for the last few years and Sienna would always consider her a closer friend. She did manage a greeting to Rose as well, "Hey, supermodel." It was a bit puzzling that Carolina wasn't with them, but Sienna didn't question it and opted to wait a few more minutes for the last girl to arrive. In that short time, she also text Jane and Tori.

To: Jane
Ok

To: Tori
Ok, look, you've had your fun. It's not getting Charlotte impeached any time soon and you know it. So, put that post down before you give that girl an aneurism. Enough is enough. I'm only going to ask one more time.

Soon enough, she was there and Sienna ended her phone conversation with the promise of discussing the situation more once she had time. If she was really doing an endorsement with House of Dereon for her Reign campaign, then it was important to get everything worked out now so that she could start doing the photo shoots and such for it once the EP was finished. She now had one more song to finish, and she had to shoot the last bit of the video on Saturday so that they could edit and release it by next Friday. It was a lot, but Sienna worked best under pressure anyway. Smiling at Carolina's greeting, Sienna tucked her phone away, but not before requesting that her driver attempt to get to her house in fifteen minutes instead of the typical thirty. It was a difficult feat to carry through with, but damn it all, she wanted to get home. Running a hand through her hair, Sienna's thoughts and attention returned to the girls and she shrugged a bit before grinning, "Well, it won't be as grand as a spa day, though we can do that before Pipe's party. I can cover it. Tonight, though, I thought you guys could try on some dresses in my mom's vault, we do homework, dinner and then have an actual girl's night. Nothing too grand, just movies, junk food, you know, something normal." Yes, Sienna - who hated appearing boring and always had a plan and was always over the top - wanted something normal and low-key. After all that happened, she felt like she earned it. They all did. "I mean, I'm always down for shooting our own music video complete with a pillow fight, but that's all up to you guys.". She then turned to Charlotte. "What do you think, Madam President?"

[center]It didn't take Ricardo too long to get his driver and the car on the road. Rick was still trying to figure out exactly what he planned to do with the guys, but it was going to be something great. He knew he could get invited, no problem at all, to the top exclusive clubs in New York. It was a matter of getting his guys to agree to it. Vincent would come, no doubt. The promise of Provocateur's elite models would lure the lust-ridden jock to Rick's side, no doubt. It was Connor he knew that would take some convincing. Since the class president decided to go MIA for the last few days and then still remain sporadic, it was hard to keep tabs on him. More than that, Connor was the type to do homework first and while that was important (to a lesser degree), Rick wanted him out and about and he wasn't taking no for an answer. After all, if the idiot didn't want to see that supermodel-level-sexy Charlotte had a thing for him whereas Sydney did not, then at least he could find a hook up while they were out.

A few minutes later and Ricardo was scooping up Vincent, looking up from his phone after sending a few text messages to friends. Smirking at Vincent, he said, "Provocateur's doing a Burlesque theme tonight, I hear. Thought we'd have a guy's night since you've got bae problems and Connor is the next Houdini with his disappearing acts. Plus, I'm bored." He snickered at the thought of Vincent's issues, though for once, he didn't care enough to pry. They could do that later. For now, Rick wanted to hang out with his favorite guys from St. Jude's. While he had had his new crew in California, there was something refreshing about being back with people that he actually liked and regardless of how people saw his relationship with Vincent, he did consider the guy a best friend of sorts. Connor too.

To: Connor
Coming 2 get u. U better b ready or I swear I'll have the master of prank 4 ur ass

To: Connor
No jokes, dude

To: Sienna
I'm gonna assume u have ur plans. Care 2 include me?

To: Charlotte
Now, Buchanan, I'm a lil hurt. All this time I've been trying 2 win ur heart & its already taken?? Why, I never!

To: Charlotte

The twins made their way down to the lobby and into the waiting car as Rosie handed Charlotte her bag as they walked through the marble lobby, their heels clicking against the floor. Rosie held the door for her sister before walking herself and waiting to get in the car. Charlotte smiled towards Sienna and Piper. "Hey, darlin'! Hey Piper." Charlotte responded, first, to Sienna's excited exclamation and then she smiled towards the red head before scooting over for her sister and also making room for Carolina. At being called a supermodel, Rosie just scoffed sarcastically as she hugged her friend. "Please, she's the model. I am the actress, the one that entertains people."

"You entertain people alright." Lottie said with a smirk as she spoke under her breath, just loud enough to be heard and receive a playful elbow nudge from her sister. Sienna snickered at the duo. When Carolina joined them and asked what the plan was, Charlotte found herself curious. Knowing Sienna she had somethin' planned to get Lottie mind off the post. And hopefully it was satisfactory enough. Sienna easily could figure out something more if Charlotte really wanted to have some kind of mega-super-awesome-epic night, but Sienna felt like a more low-key setting would have been better. They lived everyday in uber glamorous and epic. A night of simplicity was something that everyone needed every now and then. Lottie smiled as she finally took a deep breath. That sounded perfect, just what she needed. Not to mention, she's been so worried about school and events and her reputation going down the drain, and the rumor, she hadn't even had time to think about the dress she was going to wear to Piper's party.

She nodded as she leaned back against the seat. "That sounds amazin' and call me that while you can, might no be callin' me that much longer." Rosie groaned as she rolled her eyes. Sienna rolled hers as well, glancing down at her phone to see the taunting messages from Tori. If it weren't for the fact she was in the car with several other people and not just Piper, she would have screeched in outrage. "You're just actin' dumb now, guys tell her she had nothin' to worry about." Rosie said as she raised an eyebrow. Sienna nodded and placed a hand over Charlotte's comfortingly, squeezing it gently before saying, "Don't you worry your pretty little head off, Buchanan. I told you it'd work out and it will. I'll make sure of it." Just to be sure, Sienna went back on the gossip page only to see the post about Charlotte already gone and replaced with other speculations. Probably not Victoria's doing or sayings, but by other people trying fill the void left behind by the absence of Charlotte's scandal. Still not entirely comforted by Tori's acquiescence, Sienna showed Charlotte her phone so that Charlotte could see the gossip page, "See. Step one, completed." She had to say it in a perky tone, for her own benefit more than Charlotte's. She didn't want to admit how much she wanted to strangle Tori at the moment. She needed to focus on enjoying the night and her meeting with the alumnae board on Friday. When she took her phone back, however, Sienna managed to send two text messages out.

To: Tori
Ur so thoughtful. I've just gotta repay u 4 ur kindness 1 of these days

To: Piper
U & me. As soon as we get 2 my house.

After making sure her driver was using his shortcuts and back-ways, Sienna waited the rest of the ride, biding her time by smiling at whatever small talk her friends decided to make. All the while trying not to text Tori about how much Sienna wanted to pound her fists into the bitch's face. But all of that could wait. As she had reasoned, despite how impulsive Sienna was, violence couldn't be her first course of action. Not as a politician's daughter. She had to be smart about this and feeding Tori the exact time of impulsivity she was known for would only hurt Sienna in the long run. And if she was ever going to go down, Sienna was taking that psycho bitch down with her.

Soon enough, they were pulling up the long driveway to her home and Sienna, already seeing the addition her mother made to the estate, rolled her eyes. "My mom remodeled again. Said she wanted a ballroom or something like that." A few moments later, they were outside of the home and Sienna walked out first, greeting a staff member. "Take them to rooms so they can change and put dinner in the media room, please." She grabbed Piper and then ushered the redhead to her bedroom on the second floor, moving quickly.

Brent had his legs propped up on the table and his laptop resting on his lap by the time that Charlotte texted him. His earbuds were plugged into his phone so he was alerted of her texts and Kelley's, though the former made him smirk more than anything. He hadn't necessarily been angry at Charlotte as much as he was surprised and in a way, embarrassed, but going back to their normal bickering was a relief. She was still a pretentious rich girl who was out of his league, but at the very least, she was amusing.

To: Charlotte
If u say so, blondie. But u researching my family and having Rosie snap a pic of u trying to make a move on me seems to make a lot of sense. Do I have to fight ur little fairy boyfriend Harkins for a night w you or are you just gonna admit u want me?

He knew the text was provocative but he meant for it to be that way. Lottie had pushed his buttons and made him feel humiliated for a day, so he felt like he deserved to be a little demeaning back. Besides, it wasn't like he was ever really respectful towards her anyway. A response to Kelley didn't seem necessary, so as he waited for her to arrive, he focused on the article he was supposed to be sourcing for a history paper. Fifteen minutes passed before he got a text from Kelley asking where he was, and after he gave her a vague description, it took another five minutes for her to reach him. "Tell me the Hadley kitchen is gonna be the new pot brownie hot spot," he said, acknowledging the container of brownies in her hand before anything else.

"Not trying to get sent to boarding school, so no." Kelley said, taking a seat across from Brent. She pushed his feet from the table top and set the brownies down next to her laptop. "You and Cam should start making those though. You know how well they'll sell? I'll bring some to Charlotte's next student government bake sell and I guarantee they'll be gone in minutes."

"She would murder you in broad daylight."

"I feel like Charlotte could be the biggest lowkey stoner in all of New York. That's my goal this year. I'm gonna get her to smoke with us whether I have to lock her in the closet and hotbox it," Kelley declared. She was only partially joking. Though she was certain that Charlotte wouldn't touch drugs ever, she was also convinced that it would be a fun sight to see, and while she wasn't nearly as bad as Brent, Kelley liked to push Charlotte's buttons on occasion too. She was like that with a lot of people. While she wasn't one to thrive off of drama, she also didn't approve of the rigid rules forced upon her via the Upper East Side social system and she did her best to poke fun at the people who did adhere to it so strictly.

"Over her dead body," Brent said, a small smirk tugging at his lips. He was sure that Charlotte was innocent enough to have never even touched a cigarette before. He wouldn't have been surprised if she had never even seen marijuana before! Aside from when she tried to break up his deals at her events, of course. She was too much of an angel to mess with anything that wasn't as holy as she, but that didn't keep Brent from mentally agreeing that it would be a noteworthy achievement to see it happen.

As the conversation died down, the two indulged in the brownies and almost finished them before a librarian reminded them of the "no food" rule. They got work done and only started chatting again when Kelley had finished her assignment. When she was motivated enough to do her work, it was never hard for her to get it done. She had always breezed by in school and it was only her poor attendance record and careless and sometimes obnoxious attitude in class that weighed her down. "On a real level though, are you fucking with her or something?" Kelley had reached across the table and pulled one of his earbuds from his ear. Considering that Kelley and Brent had slept together on multiple occasions, the question could have been awkward, but it wasn't with them. It didn't feel awkward to Kelley, at least. She wasn't emotionally invested in ant relationship with Brent besides being friends, and though being friends with benefits seemed to be impossible for most people, Brent and Kelley seemed to be the perfect people for it.

Kelley's random question and having his music quieted in an instant had caught him off guard, but he was finished with the part of his paper that he planned on doing today, so he pushed his laptop screen down. Kelley was probably the only person that he didn't put up a sarcastic and hard front to all of the time, so it was easier to be honest with her than most people. "You think Charlotte Buchanan is going to be fucking with me? Come on, Hadley, you're smarter than that," he grinned. He crumbled the paper's rubric in his hand, leaned back in his seat and shot it a few feet away into a trash bin. "I wish, but nah, that was just some rumor." Since he was close with Kelley, he considered telling her that it was a rumor started by Tori, but the reminder of his payday forced him to pass on that and text Tori again.

To: Tori
Don't mention Piper in whatever u do, ok? And I'll be home in a few hours if you wanna drop my $. I'm at the library in Yorkville tho so I can come to ur place if that's easier.

      Charlotte turned her glare from her sister to a smile towards Sienna as she squeezed her hand. "Don't you worry your pretty little head off, Buchanan. I told you it'd work out and it will. I'll make sure of it." She sat back as she looked towards Sienna. "I know, I'm just worried. Everyone thinks I stole money or somethin', I would never do that and on top of it I'm 'dating' Barclay. Of the guys in New York it had to be him." She shuddered softly as she turned to her phone which started ringing the same time Sienna looked towards her phone. She pulled it out and read the text from Ricky with a small smile on her face. Aw, he really did care but, of course he could never just ask her if she was okay. Oh no, he needs to somehow, in some form or fashion slide a flirty, but completely kidding comment towards her. She unlocked her phone and responded before putting it back in her bag.

      To : Ricky
      Aw, you really do care. And, Other than worrying that my presidency is ending right before my eyes and my reputation is going down the toilet along with the idea of me ever getting a date with anyone anytime soon...


      She sent separate message just to make the point clearer, and little funnier.

      To : Ricky
      I would have to say I'm fine. And, I'm sorry. </3 I just didn't want to hurt your pride and I didn't know how to tell you that my heart belonged to a delinquent. You understand, right? :(


      She sent the message before putting her phone away just Sienna handed her her phone to see that the post was deleted. "See. Step one, completed." She tried to play it cool but, she couldn't help but smile in relief and let out a deep breath. "Thank god." She said as she sighed and looked towards her sister. "See, I told ya everythang was gonna be alright." Rosie said as she leaned her head on her sister's shoulder as the car started to pull away from the house.

      It didn't take to long for the group to get to the Long Island house as the car pulled in to the estate. Lottie and Rosie always loved coming to this house, it was huge! Easily the biggest house they have ever seen because believe it or not, the Buchanan's still were raised on a farm, or at least on farm land and you can't just get rid of those roots. So, to see such a big house even now amazed them. "My mom remodeled again. Said she wanted a ballroom or something like that." Rosie nudged Lottie softly with a smile on her face, and let's just say Rosie was in love with the more... expensive and grand things things in life, especially compared to her more, simple sister. When the car stopped and the group got out, Lottie got out before her sister and was handed her bag as she started to walk behind Sienna as she entered the house. "Take them to rooms so they can change and put dinner in the media room, please." When they were escorted to their room, Rose closed the door as she tossed her bag on the bed along with her body. She let out a deep sigh as Lottie just rolled her eyes at her. "Can you not." Rose just shrugged as she got up from the plush bed and tossed her silk pajamas on the bed next to the bag before looking towards her sister who was in the bathroom, already wiping off her makeup and taking out her contacts. Before she slipped out and '"Hey, hey, hey. Before you take out your hearin' aid... thang. I just got somethin' to tell ya.

      "Not a hearin' aid, but what? Lottie said as she turned towards her sister."Everythang's gonna be alright, really." Rosie said with a genuine smile on her face. Lottie tightened the cap on her contacts as she walked out of the bathroom, tossed them in her bag, and hugged her smaller sister. Rosie rubbed her back not even pulling away as she spoke to Charlotte. "And 'sides, dating Brent is the worst thang, seeing that he's your soulmate anyway." Lottie pushed her sister off of her as she groaned. She just walked to a mirror set in the room as she started to finger comb through her hair, ignoring her sister's laugh as she slid her hair into a bun, exposing the small patch of hair where it stopped growing because of the surgery. Without even paying attention, both Lottie and Rose turned towards each other to say something but, stopped the second they both noticed they had the same bun. "No, change it."

      "No, change it." They said in unison before Rosie raised an eyebrow as she looked shocked. "Why me?!"

      "Cuz.... I'm... older." Lottie stated with a winning smirk. "Oh you always gotta play that card, doesn't count it you're only an hour older, bitch." Lottie had a hand of her heart as if she was offended. "I'm actually an hour and thirty minutes older--.."

      "Oh my bad, Madam Pres." Rosie interjected to interrupt her sister before Lottie started to speak again. "And, second. I have had a very sh--sh--.." Rose rolled her eyes "Just say it, you know you wanna." Lottie took a sharp breath before speaking again. Shitty. Okay, I have had a very shitty, crappy, god awful weekend and day and all I wanna do is wear my signature bun. Let me wear my signature bun." She commanded as she looked her sister in the eyes, finally allow herself to blow off some steam from the whole... thing. She had said she was fine over and over again and while for the most part she was, she still was human. She still got irritated with life, which lead her to most go off on her sister whether she deserved it or not (even if most times she did). Rose held her hand up before starting to remove the bun in exchange for a ponytail. "Fine, damn someone's in a pissy mood and it ain't me." Rosie said with a smirk before ducked the shirt that her sister had thrown her way as she tossed on her. Rosie rolled her eyes towards Lottie who was buttoning the buttons on her satin pajamas and sliding on her pants. Rose tossed on her black satin night gown before tossing her day clothes on the bed while her sister folded hers nicely before setting them her in bag. The two look at themselves before fixing one another pajamas. Rosie with how high it stopped and Charlotte with her collar. "Perfect."
      "Perfect."

      They rolled their eyes in annoyance right before hearing Lottie's phone on the bed, seeing that she tossed it there as they came into the room. Both of their eyes quickly turned to it. Rose saw the name first and hurried for the phone as she read the message from Brent. "Oooo, he's gonna beat up Connor!" Lottie groaned as she snatched her phone to read the message. Great she was going from talking to one pain in the ass to talking to an even bigger pain in her ass. She opened her phone as she responded. Man she was in a sassy mood apparently.

      To : Barclay

      Please, you wish I cared that much and you wish you'd get a night. She sent it before sending another just to mess with him.

      To : Barclay

      And, blondie? What happened to Little Miss. Perfect? :( You finally find someone else to piss off everyday?

      She slid her phone in the shallow pocket of her pajamas before guiding her arms towards the door."Shall we, I bet we're the last one out anyway."[/b] Rose chuckled as she opened the door and started to walk out first. "Hey, there's two of us. We have an excuse." Lottie chuckled as she softly pulled her sister's ponytail. "Whatever you say, Rosebud."

Piper saw she received another annoying text from Jane and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Honestly the girl wasn't even fat or close to it. Why was it such a big deal to her? Even if it was a hassle she better just go ahead and respond to Jane now. otherwise when she sees her at school then she won't hear the end of it.

To: Jane
I can't do tonight honey. I'm planning for my party and I don't have time to fuck around with Brent. Give the pills another day or two.

It wasn't technically a lie. She did plan for her party and got some last minute things together, but if Jane knew who she was currently with, then that would cause another hurricane Jane. It was best to just tell her this one lie. The car pulled up to the Lynch home and Piper tossed her phone back into her bag. Carolina was the first to come down and she smiled widely at the girl's entrance. Good a familiar face! She didn't have any problems with Charlotte and her sister, but she wasn't close to any of them like she was Carolina. "Hey girl." Piper greeted her friend warmly.

As Sienna gave the rundown on the plans for the night the mentioning of homework came up. That wasn't even a concern of Pipers. She could get certain homework down in a half hour with she wanted to. She was more interested in the trying on dresses aspect. "Hello president." Piper greeted Charlotte and waved at Rosie as they entered the car next. Surely Charlotte was stressing her southern bell self over the latest scandal right now. To Piper if something like that came up about her probably wouldn't care, but she isn't squeaky clean like Charlotte.

Piper sat back and let the girls talk momentarily before receiving a text. At first she thought it was Jane, but no it was Sienna. What did she want to talk about? Quirking a brow, Piper placed her phone in her lap in case she got any other messages. As the car pulled up to the estate, Piper saw her future. She definitely wasn't going to stop her dreams now. There was no way that she was going to live in a shit apartment for the rest of her life.

She had no chance to talk to Carolina before Sienna was pulling her arm. She was almost dragged to the second floor and to Sienna's room. Once they were there she decided to check with Brent really fast. Sienna could've seen some new scandal come out and Piper wanted to make sure it didn't have to do with her or Jane.

To: Brent
Hey! Has anything new been put out on the gossip blog? You know I need to make sure nothing comes out with Jane right? Also where the hell is Kelley? I haven't heard from her in 10 billion years!

Piper placed her phone back in her purse and then looked up at Sienna. "Don't tell me in the short time it took to get here that another dramatic bomb was dropped?" Honestly it was too soon for anything else to come out.
