Dear Gossip Girl…

February 21st, 2008

There’s this girl and she just came back to school (it’s not Serena). She’s making my life awful. I hate her. I mean, she did this REALLY awful thing to me, which is the reason she left, and now she’s back trying to hide that awful thing (it’s not Serena, I promise). She just waltzes back in here like nothing has changed and expects everything to go back to normal, ugh! (really, it’s not Serena, I swear). But she’s not going to get away with it that easily. I’ve made it my mission to make her life a living hell (I guarantee you, it’s not Serena).

Sincerely,
Vengeful in Versace

Dear Vengeful in Versace,

Um, hello, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Might want to chill on the revenge. I’m sure whatever she did was horrible but you can’t just go around the city trying to ruin her life. You need to go to Bliss Spa and get a deep tissue massage ASAP. It’ll make you feel a lot better.
