My heart’s racing with the vague message. My sister clearly thinks I’m aware of something I’mnotyet aware of, which has me switching to social media. Now, the screenshots flashing before my eyes send me into a panic.

“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me,” West roars, likely startling the poor flight attendant, but seriously…

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!

Lexi: I invested far too much in therapy for this shit to take me backwards.

Dez: We’re adults with kids to protect! Hasn’t this bitch grown up, too?

Jules: It’s all over IG. How the hell is it already viral?

Joss: Feels like high school all over again… fun.

I stare at the girls’ words, wondering how the hell I’m supposed to just let this go when, before the plane even touches down, we’re already being hit with shit. And not for nothing, but the PTSD is real. Just seeing the name of the one who’s made the post has me reconsidering, thinking this move might’ve been a mistake, but what’s done is done.

I’m painfully aware of there being one thing, and one thing only, that I can attest to being true. Even if the portrait it paints of our reality is incredibly grim.

It’s that, if this is real—and I truly hope it isn’t—there’s absolutely no place to hide.

@QweenPandora:

Hold onto your phones, lovelies. Do not adjust your devices, and no, your eyes are not deceiving you.

In light of recent events, it only seems right that I reclaim my throne. I mean, if the Golden Crew get to walk back into Cypress Pointe with their heads held high, I should be afforded the same luxury, right?

Sure, I’ve made a few enemies here and there, but it’s not like my father herded young girls from the southside and sold them to the highest bidder or anything.

Whoops… too soon, Golden Boys?

Anywho, here I am, your friendly neighborhood gossip queen. Bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready to dish whatever dirt I can get my hands on.

To start, West and Blue Golden, aka #KingMidas and #NewGirl, are in the air as we speak, preparing to take back their kingdom by force. Much like how #KingMidas took the starting quarterback position by force. Not sure he’s realized this yet, but he’s walking right into a lion’s den. One filled with animosity and resentment over how this new position’s been handed to him on a silver platter by Coach Wells.

However, salty teammates are probably the least of #KingMidas’s worries. I mean, there’s the huge question mark around whether that shoulder will continue to hold up. But also, I can’t be the only one wondering if he and #NewGirl really think their old demons won’t somehow wander right back into their lives.

Or, I don’t know… new demons, perhaps?

In other news, I have it on good authority that two thirds of the Golden Trio have already touched down in Cypress Pointe. Welcome home, Dane and Joss, (or #PrettyBoyD and #VirginVixen as I prefer to call them).

Side note: Yes, Captain Obvious, I’m aware that the name is a bit outdated, considering, but it’s comfortingly nostalgic, right? So, #VirginVixen it is.

Sterling Golden (#MrSilver) has made it home too, but it’s no secret the lady on his arm wasn’t everyone’s fav former bad girl, Lexi Rodriguez (#LostAngel). Nope, there’s a new love in his life, and rumor has it, she’s sporting quite the rock on her finger.

Wait… Oh no! Did I just let the cat out of the bag?

My bad, #LostAngel. This has to sting, but look at the bright side. If #MrSilver knocks up #TheSubstitute, your little one might get a playmate out of the deal!

Hold up, did I just come up with her nickname on the spot? #TheSubstitute… Yeah, it has a nice ring to it. I mean, she answers to Tiffany something, but let’s be honest. No one cares what her real name is.

Anywho, I think I’ve ruffled enough feathers for now but count on me popping in later with whatever happens next.

Don’t forget, if you see or hear something of interest, hit me up. I’ll make sure word gets out.

Just like old times.

Shoot, I almost forgot the best part.

I’m not just local anymore. This means whatever trouble you get into, whatever missteps you take, Golden Crew, you have my word that everyone will know about it.
