The sun beats down on the pristine beach of the Outer Banks. The sound of the waves and seagulls fill the air. Four teens, including Serena, Blair, Nate, and Chuck, stroll down the beach, sporting their designer sunglasses and fashionable swimsuits.

Serena: “Oh my god, this is so amazing. I've never seen so many beautiful people in one place.” she exclaimed excitedly.

Blair walks along side of her, rolling her eyes.
 Blair: “You think the locals are going to be intimidated by your presence, Serena?”

Serena was too much in a good mood to be fazed by Blair’s bitchy attitude.

Serena: “Oh, I don't know, Blair. I think they're just thrilled to have us.” she smiles sweetly.

As they continue down the beach, they pass by a group of locals, including you, JJ, Kiara, John B and Pope. The four barely acknowledges you guys, too caught up in their own drama and social hierarchy.

JJ glances at them.

JJ: “Who are those people?” he whispers to Kiara.

Kiara looks to where JJ is looking.

Kiara: “No idea, they look like Tourons though… or Kooks?” she shrugs.

Pope interjects.

Pope: “Oh great, another group of wealthy tourists who think they own the place.” he says sarcastically.

You reach over to Pope.

You: “Don’t get too judgmental, Pope.” you scold him, hitting his arm lightly.

John B barks out a small laugh.

“Yeah man, for all we know, they can be nice.”

As the four approached a beach spot, everyone at the beach gets a mysterious text message on their phone:

"Greetings, Upper East Siders.

It seems you're not the first to arrive with money and attitude this summer. But you will be the most interesting.

XOXO,
