A/N: So some of you who read my stories might have noticed I killed a story. The story by the name of "And Then Came Love" wasn't working for me in storyline and I really just couldn't right anymore with it so I killed it, but here happily I have a new story for you all.
Summary: Teaming up on a project can be easy and fun when teamed with someone you want to be with, but on the other hand sometimes it can be a drag to be teamed up with someone you don't want to work with. Overachiever and Plain-Jane Kristen Deluz is sadly teamed with bad-boy Chuck Bass who seems to drive her insane, but when push comes to shove there is something that is attracting them to one another.
Irresistible
Chapter One
Two girls hurriedly strode their way up the wet sidewalk. The girl in front let her book-bag swing from her shoulder as she held a large stack of peach colored flyers. The morning was a dreary one that the girls walked in as the sidewalk was wet from a rain that had passed nearly an hour before. The girl in front turned to the girl behind her while still in motion now just backwards.
"Suze hurry up!" growled the girl in front who was growing impatient with her friend who was lagging behind also holding a large stack of peach colored flyers.
"I am Kris…I am." The girl behind said out of breath.
"We are going to be late, hurry." The girl in front said before then quickly turning around and at once she came in contact with something solid, another person. She fell back and all the flyers flew from her arms and onto the wet ground. "Oh no, sorry." She quickly said and then she looked up to see Chuck Bass starring down at her.
"Watch yourself." He spat before bending down and picking up one of the flyers. "Book Fair, so this is how the nerds get down." He said with a laugh before tossing the flyer back to the ground and with one last laugh walking through the entrance to the school.
"Kris are you alright?" asked the voice of Susan as she jogged up to Kristen who was now struggling to pick up the flyers.
"Most of mine are ruined." Growled Kristen in defeat. "He could have been nice about it and at least helped pick up the flyers." She then said as she stood with the okay flyers in one arm and all the ruined one in the other. At the moment the bell rang.
"We better get in. There is an assembly today." Susan said as she took the ruined flyers from Kristen and threw them in a trashcan. Kristen stood and noticed a huge portion of her uniform was wet and most of it was her skirt. "I have an extra skirt in my gym locker. I will give it to you after the assembly."
"Thanks." Kristen said as the two girls walked through the school grounds entrance and up the stairs towards the auditorium.
Inside most of the students had found their seats. The girls on their side and the boys on the other. Kristen and Susan made their ways towards the first few rows and both girls heard snickers coming from other students. Kristen turned to see students pointing at her wet skirt.
"Potty-trained much Deluz?" came a voice and Kristen turned to see of course no other than Blair Waldorf and her friends laughing. Rolling her eyes Kristen made it to a seat with Susan and sat down.
Directly after the girls took their seats the Head Mistress made her way to the front. She looked at all the students with a smile that Kristen could easily also interpret as a scowl, but she was pretty convinced she was smiling. Two teachers then joined her on the stage and Kristen immediately recognized them as the PE teachers.
"Students it has been 2 years since we last embarked on this experiment and it has been something the school has done every 2 years. Most of you might remember in the 9th grade when all of you who have been here since there were taught sex education by your PE teachers. Now it's time for part 2: The Parent Experiment." She stopped after her statement to wait for the students who had started to whisper among themselves. She then cleared her throat and all attention was back to her. "Now most of your may remember seeing other students of the junior and senior class 2 years in the same experiment where a girl from Constance and a boy from St. Jude's will be paired and given a life like doll that will be their child for a month. The names of who is partnered with who will be placed at lunch in the hall. There will be no trading and no reassignments no matter how much you ask and no matter how much your parents bribe. Good day."
At lunch Kristen and Susan sat together in the caf at the table they sat at everyday with their friends Brian, Andrew, Gil, Martha, Xiana, and Amy. There table was constantly called the "Nerd" table by the company that kept there, but none of them saw themselves in that light. They all saw themselves as students who were at school to be dedicated to their education and not to their social status, outward appearance and material possessions.
"I wonder who our partners will be." Xiana said as she took a bite of her sandwich.
"I'd be fine with either of you girls." Gil said as he took a chip from Amy's bag.
"Gil!" called out Amy.
"It's all me and Kristen." Brian said as he put an arm around Kristen's shoulders. It wasn't a secret to anyone in their little group that Brian had a crush on Kristen, but she personally wasn't interested in him in any way shape or form. He was a good friend and that's all she ever wanted him to be.
"I want someone hot like Nate." Martha said with a sigh in her voice.
"In your dreams." Susan said as she tossed a grape at Martha and everyone laughed.
"Let's go see." Kristen said as she stood and tossed her trash away. The whole group made their way into the hall where students were already crowded around. Kristen made her way to the list and at the
same time she didn't notice Chuck Bass right beside her as she looked for her name and she finally saw her name and the name of her partner she let out a grunt of frustration.
"I didn't want to be your partner either nerd." Chuck spat to Kristen who trudged away to where her friends were talking in excited conversation.
"Who'd you get?" Susan asked.
"You'd never guess." Kristen growled.
"That bad?" questioned Xiana. "Who is it?"
"No other than the horrible Chuck Bass." Kristen said angrily as she picked her bag from the corner and tossed it over her shoulder.
"Ouch." Amy said.
"Really." Kristen said angrily before they all started up the hall to make it to their next classes.
Sitting at home Kristen sat in the middle of the living room floor with her little sister who had dragged her into playing Barbie with her. Kristen laughed as her sister told her the complex story of her Barbie's life. Slipping away while her sister played she walked into her bedroom and over to the vanity that was used to store book and her hair brush sat on top. She looked at herself in the mirror. She had never worn make-up at all and she mostly wore her shoulder length dull brown hair in one style in a low ponytail and every now and then she actually wore it down. As she sat there and looked at her face. Her almond shaped bright blue eyes and her naturally thick lashed she suddenly heard the front door open and her sister let out a cry of happiness and she automatically knew her dad was home. Making it out of her room she jogged down the stairs and into the living room where her sad was spinning her little sister in the air.
"Hey Krissy-girl." Her dad said as he sat her sister down and walked to Kristen where he gave her a bear hug.
"Daddy." Kristen said as she let out a laugh in response to the squeeze her dad had given her.
"So girls I am pre-warning you that next week we will have a special guest for dinner." Her dad said.
"Who?" her sister asked.
"Well Hannah it's the woman I've been dating." Her dad said.
"So we finally get to meet the mysterious damsel who you've been seeing and causing my late nights of babysitting." Kristen said as she sat on the arm of the couch.
"Yes that's who you get to meet." Her dad said.
"Finally." Kristen said as she suddenly heard her cell phone ring. "That's me." She said as she walked across to where her book-bag was sitting on the couch. She didn't recognize the number and answered. "Hello?"
"Deluz?" the male voice on the other end questioned.
"Umm yes." She answered.
"This is Chuck Bass I assume we have to work together to if it suits you schedule and as a nerd I'm pretty sure the only thing you will be doing is reading that you meet me here at The Palace with that fake baby we've been given." Chuck said.
"What time?" Kristen asked already annoyed with him.
"After school about 4 I guess." He answered.
"Alright." Kristen said before hanging up the phone and sitting on the couch with a frustrated sigh.
"That sure didn't seem like a good call." Her dad stated as he sat next to her.
"it wasn't. In school we have that stupid fake baby project and I was partnered with the most annoying guy ever." Kristen said.
"Well Krissy-girl my only advice is to make the best of the situation." Her dad said.
"Yeah, thanks." Kristen said before standing. "I've got some homework to finish and to check on my fake baby." She said with a laugh.
"Enjoy." Her dad said before she made her way up the stairs into her bedroom to finish her work.
