Who was this girl? Whenever he thought he had her figured out, there she was again baffling him. How could he have grown up around her, spent almost every day with her brother, and yet she was a complete mystery? As she approached him, Caisson couldn’t stop the smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. His eyes drifted down to watch her kicking the sand and when she stopped, he closed the distance between them with his own steps.

“Dance with me.” He ignored her question, holding out a hand and doing is best not to remember how it felt to kiss her.

.

A lot had shifted for Effy, but to cause a scene was something she couldn’t bring herself to do. It was the most un-Baizen thing about her. It’s how whispering assholes on the Upper East Side knew her story, of her adoption. Instead of pushing him away roughly by the chest, or even bringing a palm to meet his smooth cheeks, she obliged. “You haven’t changed one bit, have you? You must give the people something to talk about at every moment of every day.” It was hilarious how she sneered at him while dragging him near for a dance. Elizabeth was aware she did the same. She thought maybe she didn’t try as hard as he needed to, though. She had always been harder on Caisson than anybody. His body pressed against hers again wouldn’t change her mind. That’d happened only once and never again. It was eons ago, but she still remembered each moment of the blackout and Caisson’s lips as firmly as yesterday. “Are you the one messing around on the Gossip Girl site?”

[ TEXT ] Welcome back, Elizabeth. I missed you. XOXO

You, my grandma, and everyone I’ve seen so far. Somebody make this bitch a humble pie, thinking I give a shit.

nice-nina​:

Nina’s mouth dropped open when she spotted Elizabeth Baizen drinking and dancing without a care in the world. Perhaps she was mistaken. Surely, this wasn’t the same girl that she often had nice chit chats with at all of the Upper East Side events? Careful not to bump into anyone, Nina made her way over to her, “Elizabeth?”

.

“The one, and the only.” Although, Elizabeth seemed to be a common name for rich bitches to gift their bitchier spawn. The amount of thoughts that had racked her brain on the way over here couldn’t prepared her to explain herself to the shocked and judgmental faces of old peers. “Nina, you’ll catch a bug out here like that. It’s summer.”

c-aissonandrews​:

She was here. Was she really here? Elizabeth wasn’t exactly being her prim and proper self, but she could have been dressed head to toe as a killer clown and Caisson would still have recognised her. Never failing to baffle him, his brow remained furrowed as he approached her, still not entirely convinced that she wasn’t a mirage. His lips parted to speak, but couldn’t quite make his smart ass mouth say anything. Instead, he simply moved into her line of vision and waited for her to notice him.

.

Effy had noticed him the second they’d both been within yards of each other, but he was closer now, and annoyingly floating where she couldn’t avoid. She rolled her eyes, hopefully enough for Caisson to witness. Altogether her limbs stopped moving, until her feet shuffled in his direction. Sand kicked up with her impatient steps.

“What the fuck’s wrong with you?”

mr-baizen​:

                    “Elizabeth Baizen.” Carter pulled out the big brother voice with a smile as he approached the dancing girl. “How dare you not tell me, your most loving and handsome older brother, that you were home?”

.

“Right. If I did that, would you have been able to not-so-humbly brag? You should be thanking me.” Her eyeroll was very much a joke, because the best and only part of coming home for the summer was going to be her brothers. “I wanted it to be a surprise,” she said quietly, shrug of her shoulders. “You been keeping your head above water?”

archibaldgoldenboy​:

Nate was speechless for several seconds before letting out a laugh. Well, damn. 10 points to Elizabeth Baizen. “Touche,” he said, holding his hands up. “Let’s just see if we make it through this party unscathed. Then I’ll let you know.”

.

“Mm, I sense a story, but you’re very lucky I don’t give enough of a damn to pry.” She’d be pried into next and that wasn’t an option tonight. All Effy did share with their golden boy was, “Los Angeles looks better on me.” It had been a struggle to say, but she swore she meant it. “I’m back for the summer.”

[baizened]

michtheking​:

Michelle didn’t know anything about the girl having the time of her life, other than she appreciated what she saw. That and the faces from the people watching her looked like they were staring at a ghost. “You are exactly everything I need to be tonight.” 

.

“Yeah? And what’s that?” She asked, of course knowing a compliment was to follow. But there’d also be an opportunity to get this stranger to join her on this journey. “Let’s see if my Jedi mind tricks work still.”

[baizened]

sienna-haven​:

Sienna wasn’t exactly like dressed up like everyone else either she had grown up like a lot of them but clothes had never been her things. Most of the designer things she owned were gifts from her family. She had only a pair of jeans and a red tank. 

“Thank you, you are sweet. Great, this party is awesome.”

.

“Psst,” her voice lowered to a whisper, and a wicked little smirk, “Do you smoke? And would you like to?” It was a miracle they were outside, because her ganga woulda ran them out of any indoors venue.

walker-on-sunshine​:

Jesse had been making the rounds at the party in the beach house and on the beach when he saw Elizabeth Baizen. Wearing his finest pineapple shirt and shorts combo, drinks in hand and his new favourite item of jewellery on hand, Jesse waved at her. “Hey, Elizabeth! Oh, sorry- I’m not interrupting your groove am I? I just wanted to say hey. It’s good to see you!”

.

“Hey, Walker?” Effy asked with a sharpness to her voice, to really gain his full attention. “Have you ever gone an entire day of your life without apologizing?”

[baizened]

shinebrightlikea-sapphire​:

Sapphire saw her dancing from across the bonfire and couldn’t help but smile. Now that was the Effy that she had known and loved. More free even. They had carved out almost all of their moments together in secret but sometimes Sapphire felt like no one understood her the way that Effy sometimes had. Plus, she looked really good. She couldn’t help it, she had to head over there. “Here was me thinking the bonfire was going to be the hottest thing here tonight.”

.

“Are you still in love with me?” Effy’s velvet voice greeted the old friend with a joke, suave grin acting as punctuation. Beach air blew Effy’s hair all about as she reached out and managed to snake a thin arm around Sapphire’s waist. The only thing Effy could think to do was dance with her, because it’s what the girls who disappeared knew best. “Have we ever given the people a public show?” The question was asked as she swayed her own hips to the beat of the playlist, the answer clearly no.

[baizened]

archibaldgoldenboy​:

Nate was pushing through the crowd, trying not to catch the eye of anyone. He was only looking for a flash of her blonde hair or sound of her sunshine laugh. Just thinking about Serena- about the fact that he’d left Serena- made his heart want to burst. This was useless, he was never going to find he— “Lizzie?” Only briefly distracted, Nate raised both eyebrows in surprise. He hadn’t seen Elizabeth Baizen since she’d taken that year out to travel (or whatever the Baizens had said). Anyone who managed to get out of the Upper East Side had Nate’s attention. “Are- Are you back?”

.

“Are you?” Effy Baizen challenged Nate Archibald.

[baizened]

sienna-haven​:

Sienna needed to relieve some stress school was out and her job had given her a break. So she planned on drinking and dancing with all the people she had grown to know over the last year. She was dancing mostly by herself seeing Effy. 

“I love your outfit.”

.

Effy looked herself over, knowing she wasn’t in the usual rags an Upper East Sider would be tailored in. Instead, she wore a ribbed t-shirt dress with a flannel thrown over top. If you would’ve told her closest friends months ago you’d see Effy Baizen rocking the Dan Humphrey, they might’ve slapped you across the face. But Effy had them eating their words. It was Californian-grunge-chic. Definitely. And she did look good, Sienna was right.

As wind whipped around them, Effy did the best job to push her hair from her face, “It’s no teenage drama hot like yourself. Hi, Haven. Our little celeb. You well?”

[baizened]

[baizened]

When dancing and drinking for the good of your own soul rather than underneath the pressures of peers, Effy preferred to go at it alone. Everyone she’d ever met must’ve been only yards away. This is how Effy made her debut back to Hamptons and friends, aloof and without a single hello. The important few wouldn’t care, if they still existed.
