The characters of my story are Serena, Blair, Nate, Dan, Chuck, and Jenny so far. Serena is the most important and main character of the book because she's the one who causes most of the drama. She's the one that causes all the tension to rise in New York. Blair is Serena's best friend. The two, aren't in good terms in the moment but are slowly cooperating throughout the story. Nate is Blair's boyfriend and has been her boyfriend since kindergarten. The two have been inseparable and are already planning on being together for the rest of their lives. Dan is Serena's boyfriend. It came as a shock to everyone that they were together because of how high Serena's reputation is, and how low Dan's is. Chuck is another one of the characters who has a high reputation in the story. Most of the people who have a high reputation get it from their parents, due to their parents being very successful in life. Successful as in going to Ivy League colleges and being very hard business owners. Jenny is Dan's little sister. She tries to fit in with the rest of the crowd, but being 15 and wanting to be part of the high society is very difficult. You have to prove to the others that you are mature enough to fulfill the commitments of being one of them. The setting takes place in New York. Most of the high society characters live on the East side (Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck). The not so well known people live on the west side (Dan, and Jenny). So far, the events that are happening right now, are that Blair's mom getting engaged to a man that she does not like. The man is the type of person that could ruin her mother's reputation as fashion goddess of New York. Even worse, the wedding is happening so quick, that her mother wants to have it on the day of Blair's 17th birthday. Knowing that Blair must be angry with the situation, Serena just wants to go and help. Although, Blair has made it quite clear that she does not need Serena in her life. Serena on the other hand, just got into a relationship with Dan Humphry. Since the lives of all these students are being recorded on an online gossip site, all of New York has the ability to know what is going on in their lives.

The book that I'm currently reading is "You know you love me", by Cecily von Ziegesar. This is the second book of the "Gossip girl" series. It's basically about the social lives of these specific teens in New York. I think that the second book is going to be about how drama occurs and is being caused more, now that that Serena is back in town. (Serena being the most well known girl ever in New York.) Since Serena was the reason why tension was really high in New York, it settled down a bit once she left. Now that she's returned, people are afraid that her returning will somewhat ruin their lives.
