"are you sure you aren't fae? that sounds like something that would happen to my kind."

[madelinexvan]

"I'm not entirely sure but what I read from this old dusty grimoire was that our descendants were elemental witches." Maddie replied to her and shrugged. "There's so much I have to learn from it like our history as witches and why they had to hide the fact that we have powers and can control elements like for me, it's fire obviously. I can also detect lies, fear and people even through their warmth. Like a thermal detector. But I haven't mastered any of my powers yet. What's yours? I'm just curious about this whole supernatural thing."

"Wait.. what? High School teachers ran the Gossip blog too? That is sick. You would think adults would be smarter than that. Apparently not" He knew there were adults who could be cruel. This however was not what he expected to hear teachers would do "Yeah, heard of him by his name" Never seen the person. He still thought a gossip blog was a crazy idea "I will try not to worry if she writes about me and my best friends then, or someone else I know from back home. Yes, I am pretty new around here. Don't know much, because I have been too busy searching for classes and playing hockey"

[madelinexvan]

"Yeah, tell me about it. First, it was a student which was Dan Humphrey then an actual adult slash high school teacher and now we have an obsessive stalker gossip blog who seems to know about everyone and their mother." Maddie rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Just treat her like a paparazzi but honestly everyone who sends tips are as much gossip girl as the actual person behind it. The tippers are the ones that give her power." She informed him and tucked some loose hair behind her ear. "Welcome to New York, I'm Madeline. How are you finding everything so far?"

[tfjjmaybank]

"i didn't mean it in that way, they don't respect kiara enough, they keep flirting with me and it's fucking annoying." he looked at her. "i truly don't care who doesn't think i'm good enough for kiara, we're engaged, and if she thinks i'm good enough for her, then that's enough for me."

[madelinexvan]

"I bet Kiara would scare them away so easily, she knows her worth and she's a badass." Maddie replied, she didn't know Kiara that well but she knew she was tough and wouldn't let girls like them step all over her. "Then that's it, you're both good enough for each other if you say so, don't worry about them. They're just stupid spoiled brats. And if they ever bother you again, I'll handle it. Not that you need me to handle your business but just know I have your back. You sure you're not hungry?"

[xoxowaverlyb]

Waverly raised a hand and shook her head. "It's fine, Maddie." She promised her and glanced at the people that were staring at the two of them. She flipped them off and looked back at the other woman. "You okay though?"

[madelinexvan]

"Atta girl, serves them right." Maddie said and laughed after her friend flipped them off. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just... I thought everyone would have forgotten about it already. About the whole I faked pregnancy to keep a guy. I'm so not looking forward to seeing him again." She rolled her eyes and leaned back on the chair. "But tell me, what did I miss when I was gone? How have you been? Are you seeing someone new? And seriously, you need to give me advice on how you survived all that drama and bullshit people put you through."

[johnxbooker]

"I'm not hungry, but thanks." John B said. "Honestly, I just needed to sit and they were looking at me like I was going to cheat on Sarah with them, so you became a safer option."

[madelinexvan]

Madeline sighed in relief and smiled at him. "Don't worry, you can sit as long as you like. I despise them too. Can you believe that they used to be my friends? Ugh, just no. They're bullies and they're toxic." She frowned when he said that they wanted him. "Are they seriously listing adultery as an extracurricular on their college applications too? Wow, they're even worse than I thought."

[tfmorrigan]

"i don't know how i got my powers back, but i'm not complaining. i have never felt more alive than i do now." @ggstarterblog

[madelinexvan]

"I wish I could say the same after I activated these powers of mine but it's been a real struggle to learn how to control it." Madeline admitted to the other woman. "The fire is tied to my emotions and it doesn't help that I'm literally like a raging fire when I'm mad."

[thejohnlogan]

"Someone new liked the idea then, I take it?" He asked, biting on the inside of his cheek. Didn't like the sound of the gossip blog. What was the point "I bet. Someone who has a really boring life and wish they were those people she writes about. I don't give a shit what people do in their private life, it's their life. People should respect it" Well, his best friends had been part of his private life. They all had. What happened in the house could everyone hear, or knew about. That was different "Pretend she doesn't exist? Even though what she tell isn't the entire truth? Does it not make people think different about someone if they read things about them..."

[madelinexvan]

"Precisely. It's been brought back from the dead again by someone else after the high school teacher was caught running the account beforehand." Madeline filled him in, crossing her arms. "The original was Dan Humphrey though and I would choose him over the bitch we're dealing with now." She added and looked at him. "That's exactly why I said that, she's not a reliable source. People think she's a joke and the truth always comes out anyway. Let me guess, you're new in the city?"

[maximusxwolfe]

"Well hello there to you too, Maddie." He said with a smile and sat down across from her. "What's going on with you? I mean, besides getting mad at me for no reason at all."

[madelinexvan]

Madeline smiled and shook her head. "Hi, Max. I'm not mad at you. People kept coming up to me today about my pregnancy hoax scandal from one year ago. They either laugh at me or mock me and I'm getting a migraine." She complained, massaging her temple. "How have you been? Still as reckless as ever or are you turning a new leaf?"

[itsxadenriorson]

Xaden tensed when she touched him and took several steps away from her. At her words, he couldn't help but laugh and he turned to face Belle. "I kill, just by putting my hand on the anything, I can suck the life out of this whole fucking city if I wanted to, I'm not a fae, a High Lord, a fallen Angel, whatever the fuck else, I'm Venin, I'm more deadly than any of them."

[madelinexvan]

"Well, believe it or not, I know exactly how you feel." Madeline gave him a knowing look before holding up a closed fist between them. She let the silence linger for a moment, unfurled her fist and a flame bloomed to life on her hand. "My powers might be less intense than yours but it is just as destructive. It's connected to my emotions. There was one time I got really angry at someone and I almost burned the whole entire Central Park if it wasn't stopped. I'm a walking fire hazard, basically. Do you wanna talk about it?"

[thejohnlogan]

"It was fun when my sister posted rumors about people and so on back home, but... " John paused, shook his head "This Gossip Girl seems to be on another level. What's her deal? Does she want to destroy people's life because she thinks it's fun or what? I don't get it"

@ggstarterblog

[madelinexvan]

"She became a thing during my cousin's high school days which is a long time ago but this time it's apparently a different person running it. Probably an unemployed spoiled brat who's obsessed with drama and other people's lives." Madeline told him, crossing her arms. "She's a royal pain in the ass. My tip, ignorance is power so just pretend she doesn't exist."

[itsgarrettgraham]

"I need you to get the fuck out of my face right now. I'm literally still in college, and whatever the Bruins do, is not on me, so fuck off, before I punch you in the face." He said and watched as the drunk walked away. Walking up to the bar, he ordered a drink and looked at the person who came up to him. "Put their drinks on my tab too." @ggstarterblog

[madelinexvan]

Madeline scoffed and turned to look at him. "Um cute but I'm a Vanderbilt, I can pay for my own drink. But thanks, I appreciate it." She said and smiled at him. "Who pissed you off this bad, Graham? Wanna talk about it?"

[tfjjmaybank]

"the fuck did i do?" he raised a brow at her and shook his head. "i just needed to sit and i figured you'd be a safe person to sit by instead of those girls who won't accept that i'm with kiara."

[madelinexvan]

"Nothing, I thought someone wanted to make fun of me again. It's been a year and looks like everyone hasn't forgotten about me faking pregnancy to keep my boyfriend who is a complete asshole." Madeline rolled her eyes and took a sip of her coffee. "I don't know what I saw in him in the first place." She added. "They still don't accept you? You've been with Kiara for so long. Is that because they're conceited and thinks they have to approve everything or do they have a thing for you?"

[hinatashaharrington]

"Well hello to you too, Vanderbilt." Natasha said as took a sip of her own drink and looked at her. "You're lucky we're friends or else I'd make you pay for being rude." She added. "No, I'm not hungry, but thank you." She held up her iced coffee and smiled. "I needed this though, life has been beyond fucking crazy."

[madelinexvan]

"Hello, Nat. Long time no see." Madeline said, awkwardly shifting in her seat. "Listen, I'm really sorry for leaving without a word and not responding to any of your texts, I was just really lost. I didn't think you would want to stay friends with me." She replied and looked at her friend. "Sorry I wasn't there for it all. If you wanna vent or talk about it, just go for it. I have time."

[imogencarduloxoxo]

"I think it's cute that you think you'd be able to take me in a fight, Vanderbilt." Imogen shrugged and shook her head. "No, I don't eat sweets like that." She added and looked over at the women who were talking shit about Madelaine and then back at Madelaine. "You have powers, do you not? Scare them with it. What good is having powers if you don't use them to your full extent?"

[madelinexvan]

Madeline smirked and leaned in towards the other woman. "Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. But I absolutely can take you in a fight. Wanna bet?" She replied, just trying to rile her up. "You sure? We have savory pastries, you should try the garlic bread." Her tone changed to a more friendly one. "Oh how I wish I could do that and give them nightmares. But I'm a Vanderbilt, if someone saw me use my powers, it would cause chaos. I'm scared that my own family will fear me."

[emmelinemaddoxxoxo]

Emmeline raised a brow at the younger woman. "You are so damn lucky you changed your tune, Vanderbilt, I don't let anyone talk to me that way, not even my brothers." She flipped her blonde hair over her shoulders and looked at her. "I came to see you, came to ask you how Tuscany was."

[madelinexvan]

"Oh please, I wouldn't talk to you like that." Madeline replied, smiling at her. "Not after what you've done for me last year. After all, you're the one who told me to get away from it all." She said as she took another sip. "Tuscany was exactly what I needed, my aunt was kind enough to let me stay with them. I had the best time ever. I liked how peaceful and healing it was there."

[madelinexvan]

Madeline sat alone at a table, sipping her coffee after helping out at one of her family's bakeries. She'd come there when she missed the quiet life with her aunt in Tuscany and wanted to prove to her parents she'd really changed. It's exactly one year since she ran away when her scandal broke out. Faking pregnancy to keep a man. Real low, Maddie.

A group of girls at the nearby table started laughing loudly, their eyes fixed on her as they made snide comments and mocked her. She met their stares with a fake, sarcastic smile that quickly turned into a sharp glare but their words kept coming. Lowering her head, she curled her hand into a tight fist on the table, flames peeking faintly through her knuckles as anger and frustration rose inside her. Don't let it win. Breathe, Maddie, breathe.

Then she felt someone sit down across from her. "If you're here to talk smack to me, get the hell out." She raised her head to look at them and realized it was someone she knew. "Oh, it's just you. I'm sorry, I'm having a bad day. To what do I owe the pleasure?" She took a slow breath, unfurling her fist completely and letting the fire fade away. "You hungry? I could get you something, on the house." @ggstarterblog

[ellaxhampton]

"Don't know, didn't get his name, nor do I care if he's some wannabee influencer." She shook her head. "Good, then we can drink and talk shit." She smiled.

[madelinexvan]

"Good, I feel like he'll just make content or post about you because you're one of Manhattan's It girls. Not that he can't be into you, I just know there's people like that." Belle said as she looped her arm in hers. "Come on, my car is this way." She led her friend to her car where her driver was waiting. "Where should we get drinks? Your choice." She told her as she climbed in the car.
