(Violet's POV)

After first period was over, Pogue showed me to my 2nd period class then, went to go to his own. Apparently, Tyler was in this class also. When he saw me, he smiled and waved me over to the seat next to him.

"Hey Violet. So, so far how do you like Spencer?" He asked.

"It's barely 2nd period." I replied grinning as he blushed, "But, it's okay I guess. 1st is kind of boring, but I have Pogue in that class so we just passed notes back and forth through out it."

"Professor Walters: World History?" He guessed.

"Yes, unfortunately." I whined, "Do you have him?"

"No and from what everyone tells me, I am very lucky." He grinned as I groaned.

"Well thanks a lot." I said sarcastically. He just chuckled as the teacher came in. It's weird his chuckle reminded of me of someone, but of who?

"Hello class, I hear we have a new student today. Violet, Violet Evans. Where are you Violet?" the Teacher asked. I raised my hand. "Oh well there you are. I'm Ms. Davis and welcome to Chemistry. If you have any questions at all don't be afraid to ask." After I said 'yes' she started telling the class what we were going to do today. I like Ms. Davis, she seemed nice (nothing like Prof. Walters) and she didn't make me go in front of the class and tell everyone about myself.

"Now class, the person you are sitting next to will be your partner for this assignment. You can change partners later on the next assignment, but right now…"

So , that is pretty much how my day went. But, my other teachers made me go in front of the class telling everyone about myself. (much to my dismay) I had some of the other "Sons" in my classes too. They weren't that bad. I actually took a liking to them surprisingly.

When I walked into the lunchroom I got my meal from the lunch line and went to go sit at the table with Pogue, Reid, Tyler, and Caleb. It sucks that there weren't that many food places to go eat at in Ipswich. How very un-New Yorkish.

"Hey guys." I said as I sat down in between Pogue and Tyler. They all said hi to me and went back to conversation. I appreciated how they involved me as well. I was interrupting in my conversation with Tyler when Christina Aguilera's song "Keeps Getting Better" started playing.

Some days I'm a super bitch

Up to my old tricks

But it wont last forever

Next day I'm your super girl

Out to save the world and it keeps gettin' better

All the boys at the table turned to look at me while I smiled and answered my phone noticing the ring tone. Serena.

"Hey! I was beginning to thing you all forgot about me." I fake pouted, but smiled.

"Of course not V. We could never forget about you, especially with Chuck's sulking that his partner in crime isn't here with him." Serena laughed.

"Ahh. I'm touched," I laughed, "my Chuck misses me."

"He does, he really does. We all do Vi." Serena said, "I mean who knew Chuck Bass could be such a sulker and whiner."

"uhh…I did. But, I miss all of you too." I said. The feeling of not being with everyone was finally sinking in.

"Is anyone giving you trouble over there, because you know I'd be there in a second ready to kick their ass. Everyone else would be right behind me too." I could hear her smiling.

"Nah, no worries. The last thing that even came remotely close to that was Carter Basin." I replied saying his name. Carter was my ex-boyfriend. He cheated on me, we broke up, end of story.

Well, at least for me. But Blair, Nate, Serena, and Chuck didn't. They all gave him their own form of payback. Nate and Chuck beat the crap out of him. Blair with her social skills made his reputation go down the toilet. And Serena publicly humiliated him in front of the entire school, but they were all there for me. They did everything to make me feel better and forget about Carter. Sappy old romance movies and all.

"Ahh honey are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm f-" I was interrupted when Pogue stole my phone and put it to his ear.

"Hey who is this?" Pogue asked into the phone. I just scowled at him. But, because I was sitting next to him, I could hear everything she was saying.

"Serena, who's this." She asked.

"Pogue." His answer was nice and short.

"Oh yeah, your Vi's cousin right?"

"Yeah. Hey I wanted to ask you a question Serena. Who's Carter Basin?" He asked. My eyes soon widened. She wouldn't say anything would she? God don't say anything Serena.

"I...uhh…He's her ex-boyfriend. Why?" I heard her say.

"Ex-boyfriend?! And he hurt Vi?!" Pogue's eyes soon widened with anger.

"Serena Van Der Woodsen, don't you dare say anymore to him!" I shouted at the phone.

(Kate's POV)

Sarah and I were late to lunch because we had to put our books away in our lockers. I wasn't paying attention in class because I was to busy trying to dig up some dirt on Violet Evans.

All I found out was she is from the Upper East Side of New York City, her Father was a rich big time lawyer from New York, and her Mother grew up here in Ipswich. Other then that she shopped in Soho and in all the big expensive stores on 5th Ave. (Even I couldn't even afford that), I heard some girls talking that they saw her get off of Pogue's motorcycle. I mean it's bad enough she was clinging to him in 1st period like a little whore, but she was on Pogue's motorbike! My Pogue's motor bike! Ugh!

I didn't even know we were already done getting our food from the lunch line because I was too consumed in my thoughts. Sarah kept telling me I was just overlooking it and drawing conclusions. I just ignored her.

"Kate. Earth to Kate." Sarah said waving a hand in front of my face.

"Oh sorry Sarah. I just spaced that's all." and trying to find a way to destroy that bitch, but I sure wasn't going to tell Sarah that.

"S'fine. Come on let's go sit down." I just nodded my head. But I only got more furious when I saw the little bitch sitting next to Pogue trying to grab her phone back. What the hell? I walked close enough to hear what they were saying but, without getting seen. Sarah groaned, but followed me.

"Yeah. Hey I wanted to ask you a question Serena. Who's Carter Basin?" Serena? Who's Serena? And Carter Basin? I've heard that name before, but where?

"Ex-boyfriend?! And he hurt Vi?!" Is Pogue…jealous? Why the hell else would he be so angry? And why did he call her Vi?! She has a nickname now too?!

"Serena Van Der Woodsen, don't you dare say anymore to him!" I heard the bitch tell Pogue. I froze. Van Der Woodsen, Serena Van Der Woodsen?! The bitch was friends with Serena? I never met her, but I heard about her on Gossip Girl.

"And Blair better not say anything to him either!" She shouted. Blair? As in Blair Waldorf? She's friends with 2 members of the "elite"? The elite was like…teenage royalty of the Upper East Side. What's next?! She knows Bass and Archibald?

"Do I have to kick this guy's ass, Vi?" Pogue asked. Why does he care? I was filled with hurt.

"Nah, no need to worry about it Pogue. Chuck and Nate took care of that." She responded. Chuck and Nate?! What the fuck?! She was friends with all of them! And not only that, but they cared and protected her?!

So Pogue is not only cheating on me with the new girl, (that is my last and finally conclusion) but that new girl just so happens to be rich and popular? It doesn't help either that she is gorgeous and from what I hear a straight-A student. That's it! It's time to give that whore a piece of my mind!

(Violet's POV)

I finally was able to take the phone away from Pogue.

"Hey Serena, I'm just going to call you back later."

"Oh. Sure. Sorry about that little slip." She seemed sorry. I just had to forgive her. Damnit! Why can I never stay mad at her?

"That's okay. No worries. Tell everyone I said 'Hi'. Talk to you later." I then hung up and looked at the others. Pogue opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off when a blonde and dark haired girl marched over to the table. They both were really pretty.

"Hey Kate." Pogue said standing up and giving the dark haired girl a kiss on the cheek. Kate?! As in the Kate. The same Kate, Pogue had a crush on when we were little.

"Hi. I'm Violet Evans. Pogue has told me so much about you." I said holding out my hand for her to shake, being polite.

"Really." she said through gritted teeth. "I'm Kate Tunney. Pogue's girlfriend." The dark haired girl gave me a bitter look as she shook my hand. Why did she emphasized girlfriend?

"Hey Sarah, you're late," Caleb said kissing Sarah on the lips.

"Kate, Sarah this is my cousin Violet." Pogue said looking at me. I gave a small wave. Looks of shock when on their faces. The blonde recovered first.

"Hi, I'm Sarah Wenham, I just transferred her." She seemed nice.

"Cousin?" Kate repeated dumbfounded, "Pogue I didn't know you had a cousin."

"Oh, well yeah. Vi only came in the Summer sometimes. Right Vi?" I just nodded my head yes.

"I-I'm really sorry for the way I overreacted. I just thought that…" Kate said. She seemed like a nice person when she wasn't jealous.

"Oh, that's okay. I can see why you were so mad." I said. Kate, Sarah, and I got to talking and we had some things in common with one another. Kate and I liked shopping. Sarah & I liked to read books. Amongst other things…

The boys had a swim meet today. They all invited me to a place called Nicky's afterwards.

"What is Nicky's?_
