“So we should just be anonymous losers who eat lunch alone and never get invited to parties?”
Is that little Jenny Humphrey from Brooklyn I see before me? I really have been gone for too long, haven’t I? How on earth did you go from a nobody to Queen B? Or, wait, you all but abolished the hierarchy that centuries of Constance goers upheld before you- didn’t you? The last time I checked, you were an anonymous wannabe trying to claw their way onto my radar. You made a few fair plays for the spotlight mind you (on the arm of Damien Dalgaard, for example). You were running bottom of the barrel errands for former QB Blair and she was barely remembering your name nevermind anything else. I underestimated you, Little J. Your ambition has truly known no means. You wanted to be one of us and now you are. I wonder if it’s everything you imagined it to be. I wonder if you regret crossing over to the other side. I’ll find out soon enough. XOXO —Gossip Girl
Jenny Humphrey had always dreamed of sitting on the Met steps with the popular kids at Constance Billard. What were they talking about? What were they wearing? She was consumed by it. All Jenny wanted was to fit into this seemingly magical world of glitz and glam. Of boyfriends like Nate Archibald and besties like Blair Waldorf. When Jenny lucked into the chance to be noticed by the Queen B herself, she jumped through every single damned hoop that Blair threw her way. Jenny got herself into trouble, sneaking around behind her dad’s back, believing she was truly a part of the group. When Jenny ended up involved in a little joy ride with our Upper East Siders and got caught, she came crashing back down to reality. Jenny was in big trouble and while it could have been worse, she certainly didn’t get away with being there scot-free like everyone else.
For a while she was bitter and for the most part, it was perfectly valid. Then perhaps one of the single most unexpected things happened on the Upper East Side. Jennifer Tallulah Humphrey was crowned the new Queen B of Constance Billard by Blair Waldorf herself. It was everything she had ever wanted. And then Jenny realised that she didn’t really want it at all. It took some convincing- there was plenty of drama and growing pains- but Jenny managed to convince everyone else of the same. Gossip Girl was gone, the NJBC were moving on and why not let there be peace in the kingdom? From then on, Jenny felt like she could finally let out a breath. She was able to have fun and trust her cool, new friends. Jenny’s last years at Constance Billard were finally worth remembering. She became more confident, pursuing her love of fashion and design. Jenny can’t wait to spend this summer with her besties on an Upper East Side free of any ‘XOXO’s.
What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?
Listen, when someone has beautiful as Jesse Walker asks you to be a part of something, it’s a no brainer. Besides, Jenny was new Queen B. She didn’t want Gossip Girl to think she was scared of her. Which, um, she’s not! Secrets are to be revealed… XOXO
Dan Humphrey - the big brother! Jenny loves Dan, he’s always been there for her and she knows she can count on him. Of course, it doesn’t stop them from clashing and judging. C’est la vie.
Eric van der Woodsen - BFF! Jenny instantly connected with Eric van der Woodsen. They’ve had their ups and downs, catty comments and ‘I’m going to unfollow you’ moments but they’re bonded for life.
Blair Waldorf - Jenny’s life goals. Well, maybe a little less now she’s learned not to idolize so much but Blair is still important to her.
Caitlyn Coates, Raquel Hernandez and Zeke Lopez - the besties! Caitlyn and Jenny got off to a rocky start but there’s no ‘us’ without Caits. Raquel is a sweetheart and well, who doesn’t have a crush on Zeke?
