"Okay, this is...this is overwhelming." Grace said to herself with a laugh as she stood in Times Square. She was walking around the city and trying to get used to where she'd be living from now on. It was a change from Massachusettes to here, but change was something she was used to, and it wasn't something she couldn't handle.

Turning around as she saw something that caught her eyes, she ran into someone and took a step back. "I am so sorry." She apologized. @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

"Oh no, seriously I'm okay." Annabelle smiled at her. "I run into so many people here, it's just crazy." She laughed. "Are you okay?"

[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

[notannabelleharper]

"Aww thank you." Annabelle smiled at Graham and ordered herself a drink. She looked at Garrett. "Are you okay?"

[violetsorrengailxoxo]

"I know I've only been here for a few months, and still learning about this world, but I still don't understand how Gossip Girl can control so much. Someone has to do something against her, right?" She asked and looked around the party that was going on. "Don't get me wrong, this is an...interesting party, but still." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

"She has way too much control if you ask me." Annabelle looked at Violet. "I just do my best to ignore her though."

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

[notannabelleharper]

"Oh no, but thank you." She said. "Are you okay though, Madelaine?" She asked. "I just wanted to sit by someone I could actually trust and that wouldn't ask me about my relationship with Jasper?"

[jackiesinclair]

"I need Mother Nature to make up her damn mind on what she wants for the weather, my allergies and sinuses can only handle so damn much." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

Anabelle smiled. "That's how I feel too." She said. "I don't know what's been going on lately, but my sinuses can only handle so much."

[thekiaracarrera]

"Oh, yeah, I don't know." She shrugged with a smile. "I guess I am low key kind of liking it here. Don't judge me, okay? It's nice to not have to worry about anything that I would have to worry about if I was back in Kildare." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

"I think that's a good thing, though." She said with a smile. "Manhattan is actually magical, you know?"

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle Harper. Country super star and darling in love. Which will fade first though? Your career or your relationship?

My interest in this question faded the fastest.

[cleoanderson]

"Trust me girl, I know. I don't understand why they want to fight science so badly, but the last thing I am going to do is argue with someone that has one brain cell that is fighting for sixth place."

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle laughed. "They want to fight science because they can't understand it." She shrugged. "It's as plain and simple as that, Cleo. Anyways, besides those dipshits, how are you doing?"

[tfmorrigan]

"well for me, it's my chosen family, but i get what you're saying." she said with a smile.

[notannabelleharper]

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a chosen family. Sometimes they're better than our real family."

[cleoanderson]

"There has got to be something in the air, becuase I have seen about ten different people say that birds are not real and spewing some bullshit about the earth being flat." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle laughed. "My gosh, people are literally insane when it comes to the theories that they spew." She shook her head. "Education needs to do better if we're being honest though."

[tfmorrigan]

"i honestly love the holidays that you humans come up with. like st. patrick's day, that is truly amazing. centerius go by, but humans never change and i love that." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle smiled. "I love any and all holidays, it's just fun to get out there and be with friends and family."

[amberwest]

"Someone earlier today told me that her and her family were giving up my music for Lent and then she got really mad when I told her that was okay and didn't overreact and throw a temper tantrum. She, however, did throw a temper tantrum. I will never understand why people get so butthurt over stupid shit like that." Amber shook her head. "Anyways, how was your day? How are you? How's life?" @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle shook her head. "That is beyond crazy." She said. "I'm sorry that happened to you, but hey, on the plus side, Easter is about over, so they'll be streaming your music again soon!"

[mfdimitriharrison]

"I can't comprehend what is going through some people's minds when they talk. I went on a date last night and she straight up told me she only wanted to date so she could become famous." He shook his head but gave a laugh. "I can laugh about it now, but still." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

Anabelle srunched her nose and shook her head. "I'm glad you can laugh at it now, but that's still a really shitty thing to happen." She said. "Are you okay?" She asked. "And be honest, don't lie."

[mftonysalazar]

"I have a love/hate relationship with all the promos I get to do for all my upcoming projects, but I am so tired right now, I just want to sleep for a week." @ggstarterblog

[notannabelleharper]

"Honestly, I am in the same boat there." Annabelle said with a smile. "I love doing promo, but there is nothing better than sleeping and getting some much needed rest."

[imogenbarnes]

Imogen sighed. "I know you're right, but it still sucks." She said. "There are just times when I want to correct her, even if it makes me seem upset by her."

[notannabelleharper]

"I know it's easier said than done, but ignore her. The more fuel you give her, the more she'll want to attack you."

[jennythegossiper]

Jenny chuckled" Woopsie"she said playfully "Deffiniely not my targeted advisor, but still, what do you think...would I look cute in this?"She asked playfully and put it in front of her so Annabelle could try and imagine her in it.

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle looked at the jacket and then at Jenny and nodded. "Yeah, I think you could totally rock it." She told her with a smile.

[madelinexvan]

The bar was dim and half-empty, the kind of place where conversations stayed between the people sitting at the counter. Belle rested her elbow against the wood, fingers loosely wrapped around her glass. Annabelle was always her confidant and Belle was hers. Belle invited her to drink, wanting to vent about work. "I don't even know where to start tonight." She admitted quietly, glancing toward Annabelle. "Tell me what ruined your day first. I need the distraction." @notannabelleharper

[notannabelleharper]

Annabelle laughed. "I hate to break it to you, Belle, but nothing has ruined my day." She shook her head. "I've had a really good day today." She added. "Though, vent to me, you know I'm always here to listen."
