Chapter One
"So Blair, what are we doing afterschool? Hit Bendel's, go to Serendipity and get hot chocolate?" Serena Van Der Woodsen asked her best friend Blair Waldorf.
"Duh, Serena today is Wednesday. There's a lacrosse game playing and I have to go and support my lover, Nathaniel. Isn't that the most perfect name ever? Nathaniel Archibald. Mrs. Blair Archibald?" Blair sighed happily as Serena rolled her eyes.
"You have been in love with him for so long. Why don't you just confess?" Serena asked.
"because he is Nathaniel freaking Archibald. I just can't go up to him and be like 'Hey Nate, movie? Great! I'll see you at eight and I'll pick you up in my Honda!" Blair said. "I need something special and romantic."
"Ok I've been reading about how some Asian girls confess their feelings by writing a love letter to the person. You should do it. You can even spritz the letter with your perfume."
"That is actually a great idea for once. Thanks. Ok now I must go get started on my letters. I want to give it to him before his game so he can have Blair Waldorf's love and win the game." Blair sighed happily. Serena rolled her eyes as she watched Blair skipped down the steps with a bounce. Neither of the girls noticed a pair of eyes, with a scarf swaying in the cold October's wind, watching the brunette and smirked.
"Blair, I came as I got your text. What's wrong?" Serena rushed to Blair's side who looked panicked.
"Serena, I can't do this. I can't just give him a love letter. What if he doesn't like me? What if he and his loser lacrosse friends laugh at the letter while he's sweaty and dirty in the locker room?" Blair's brown eyes doubled in size due to panic. Serena smiled and hugged her. "You must confess Blair, you love him and how can he reject Blair Waldorf?" Blair pursed her lips and nodded her head.
"You're right. I'm Blair Waldorf. I'm the daughter of Eleanor Waldorf. I get roses sent to me and Cristal delivered to me. I can do this." Serena hugged her once more and went to hid behind a wall. Blair exhaled. 'Ok I can do this. I can. No, I can't. I can't do this. No I must. I am Blair Waldorf and I command myself to do this.'
Nate Archibald came up the steps rocking out to "Stronger" on his iPod. Finally, Blair stuck her hand and letter out, with her face down and screamed "Nathaniel, I have liked you for so long. Would you go out with me?" A few seconds later, she realized that Nathaniel didn't even see or hear her and walked right past her. That means: the man that is standing in front of her is not Nate.
Serena came out from behind the wall and saw the last thing she'd ever wanted to see. 'This is not good.'
Blair slowly lifted her eyes and saw a guy with an evil smirk on his face. She wanted to scream but was in so much shock and despair that no sounds came out. Apparently, she couldn't move either so she just stood there like an idiot with her mouth open while the devil kept on smirking. Finally, she regained her voice and mumbled "I…this letter…wrong person" She wanted to smack herself at her lame attempt at explanation while the asshole kept on smirking, not saying one word. 'Doesn't he do anything else and wtf is he just standing there'
"Blair, Blair." Blair finally registered someone calling her name. 'Oh yeah Serena.' Blair ran away from the guy as fast as she could, not realizing that she dropped her love letter behind. The guy, still smirking, looked down at the letter and picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Usually, people don't confess to the wrong person." Serena said as Blair banged her head on the table. After the disastrous confession, Serena took Blair to Serendipity to cheer her up but it wasn't working.
"I was so nervous. I didn't even know the guy that was there."
"Really? Do you want to know about him?" Serena inquired.
"I don't really care about him. He looked so arrogant. With his stupid smirk. What was he doing there anyway? Now I'll never have a chance with Nathaniel." Blair cried.
"Oh please, it's not like Nate rejected you. He doesn't even know that you confessed. Beside Blair I think you should know about the guy." Serena said in a serious tone that got Blair's attention. Serena continued on. "According to Gossip Girl, his name is Chuck Bass. The son of the billionaire Bart Bass. With his dad's money and negliance, he gets into a lot of trouble and even been arrested a few times. He does the opposite of what's considered appropriate in the UES's eyes. He's a loner and always have been. Even with all these bad qualities, girls still love him. He is apparently a heartbreaker. On the blog, they call him "Prince of Seduction". They say that he will break your heart everytime and the only warning sign you get is his trademark scarf."
Blair looked despair. "I can't believe that I did that in front of him."
"Don't worry Blair, he loves girls and I'm sure he forgot about your situation already. You can always confess to Nate again. Just give him the letter and this time make sure that you're looking at him this time." Blair's brown eyes panicked in realization.
"Where's the letter?" Serena shrugged. "How would I have it? What?"
"I LOST THE LETTER!!!!!!" Blair screamed.
"It's ok you can write another one." Serena assured Blair.
"No, it had both of our names on it and if anyone else finds it and read it, I'll die from embarrassment. I need to go back to school and find it."
"I can't go with you. My mom demands that I be home for dinner today. But tomorrow morning I can help you." Serena gathered her things.
"No I need to find it now. Look I can go back and look for it myself." Blair ran out of the store.
Blair finally arrived back at the site and started searching for her letter. 'Come on damn letter. Where are you? Hmm, it could have been blown into the field.' Blair ran toward the lacrosse field.
"Hey Nate, great game man." Nate beamed as his teammates pat him on the back. They had won the game big time and he was damn happy. "Thanks guys. Look I got to get home. See you at practice tomorrow." Nate grabbed his duffel and started walking until something caught his attention.
"Damn it letter, where the hell are you?" Blair cursed under her breath. She noticed a figure approaching her but didn't pay attention to it.
"Excuse me, are you looking for something?" a voice asked. "No duh! I just like looking at grass for an hour in a freezing cold weather.' "Yea!" Blair answered trying to be polite. If Eleanor taught her anything, it was to always be polite. The person didn't seem to be going away. Blair noticed.
"Oh, I'll help you look for it, Just tell me what you're looking for." The voice answered back. "Blair sighed angrily and replied "I'm looking for a let….um" She finally looked up to come face to face with the man of her dreams. "A left-footed grasshopper." She said lamely. 'Ah, can I be more stupid?'
"A left footed grasshopper?" Nate asked, confused. Blair pursed her lips in an attempt to smile and nodded. Nate laughed. "I don't think you'll find any here…or in the world. Why don't you go on home already? It's getting dark and the weather is freezing." Blair just nodded. "Oh by the way, I'm Nathaniel Archibald. We have some classes together." Nate extended his hand and Blair shook it.
"OH right, Yeah classes. Nice to meet you. I'm…"
"Blair Waldorf." Nate answered for her and Blair's smile grew 10 inches horizontally. "Bye Blair." Nate smiled and winked at her and left. Blair sighed happily and jumped. "Yay, he knows my name. He knows my name. Ahhh!" she squealed.
She was busy reveling in her joy and that she didn't see a red and black scarf whipping around in the wind in an angry mood, a mood that matched the owner of the scarf.

Blair was so happy when she finally got to her penthouse when Serena called.
"Blair, did you find the letter?" Blair gasped. "OMFG, the letter. I forgot about it."
"Huh, that was your purpose of going back. How can you just forget it?"
"Look Serena it doesn't matter. I wish that the letter will hopefully fly away to Brooklyn." She prayed to God.
"Ok. Look tomorrow, go early to school and look for it. I'll help you." Serena declared. "Be there at school by seven." Blair rolled her eyes and replied something that resembled 'yes'.
The next morning, she was still in a daze about her encounter with Nate that she didn't see the guy in front of her, that is until she ran smack into him. She looked up and immediately saw the infamous trademark scarf that Serena warned her about. "OH no." she mumbled to herself. Infamous Chuck Bass smirks. "Oh yes!" he said.
Blair collected herself and turned the other way in an attempt to leave when Chuck yelled out "didn't you lose something?" Blair turned to see Chuck holding up her love letter. "To Nathaniel Archibald. From Blair Waldorf." Chuck said. Blair put on her sweetest and fakest smile and walked toward Chuck.
"That is my letter. Thank." She tried to grab the letter from Chuck but that bastard seemed to be one step ahead of her and pulled the letter out of her reach. "Why are you thanking me for?" he retorted.
"HUH?" Blair asked confused. Chuck smiled. "Don't be so dumb. Why do you think I would come to school so early just to return a letter just for you?" Chuck saw the confusion that was still there on Blair's face. "Here is the deal, from today on, you will have to act like my slave!" Blair screamed "WHAT?"
Chuck smirked. "Oh this is going to be fun." He claimed.
A/N: That is the end of Chapter one. I hope everyone likes it. I am more inclined to finish this story because I love the drama "Devil Beside You." It is my favorite and I watch it over and over again. If you guys want to watch it, then just go to youtube. There are some that has English subtitles on them so you guys can understand. I thought the title was very fitting because Chuck is a devil and he is always going to beside Blair. LOL. If you have any questions/comments/concern, you know what to do. Peace!
