Yeah granted I had always been smart, the over achiever! Popular, perfect boyfriend, pretty and no not like your average or little sister pretty but really pretty some might even say gorgeous! I thought I had everything figured out, what college I wanted to go to, what I wanted to study once I finally got there. Pretty much I had my whole life planned out or so I thought! That was until he happened, everything about him I knew I somehow hated or at least I thought so, but yet every time he was around I found myself drawn to him even more! The day Chuck Bass walked into my life was a day I will never forget! He impacted me more then I would've ever imagined! But with impact comes destruction, leaving a mess of what I thought was me only to find out that I didn't know anything about myself but not only that I found that he was hiding something too!

"Mr. Bass you didn't answer the question"

"I heard you, I just didn't find it irrelevant! I'm no longer going to West Point so why must you ask about it?"

"Ah, yes your father has told me that you will be joining the ranks of Manchester Prep am I correct?"

"I would have to say you are!" he rolls his eyes, while looking down at his watch.

"And how do you feel about that, are you excited, mad?"

"I'm feeling indifferent, I don't really care!" he raises his shoulders before lowering them back down once more.

"You don't care? Mr. Bass may I remind you that this is your 5th school in two years!"

"Yeah and what's your point?" he relays smarmy

"My point is that clearly there is something wrong here, I am only trying to help you but I cant do that if you wont talk to me! I have tried but you wont give me anything to go on, other then what I know already. Which was given to me by your father."

"Yeah good' ol dad eh. We wouldn't want to disappoint him now would we? He hates failures!" he quickly smirks before laughing slightly.

"Is it him? Is it your father who drives you to do the things you do Mr. Bass?"

"Possibly, but then again possibly not" he glances back down at his watch before raising his eyes back up "Look this has been fun and all but I have to get going, lets do this again shall we?" he quickly gets up to leave.

"You cant run away forever Mr. Bass, sometime somewhere our greatest fears will catch up with us"

"Oh please stop! I'm shaking!" he rolls his eyes before finally exiting.

"Serena do you have Mr. Hemingway for Chemistry?" she states over the phone.

"No, that's an AP class, Blair you know I don't take any AP classes especially Chemistry. I got Mrs. Calloway why?"

"Just wondering, I know its the start of the next semester. The choosing of Lab partners, God I hope I don't get some thickhead dumbass who doesn't know what they are doing!"

"I'm sure everything will be fine B, your super intelligent! I mean your already ranked the top of our class"

"Yeah but if I want to keep that position then my grades need to continue to go up! I don't want to be stuck with some idiot who doesn't want to pull their weight on the assignments and labs!"

"Just stop stressing, I'm sure anyone who's in AP classes has to be somewhat smart! Everything will be fine. So you never told me how your holiday break went, how was Paris?"

"I guess your right. Paris was great, Daddy said to tell you hi and that he missed seeing your joyous smile"

"Oh my gosh I am so late!" she glances down at her phone before tossing it in her bag.

She still didn't know why of all mornings her stupid alarm clock would decide to mess up, it was the first day returning back to school from the Holiday Break. She had practically rushed to fix her hair and make-up quickly grabbing her tan and blue jumper before pairing it with some red tights and cute blue flats. Sticking a big red head headband that sported an equally large red bow on top into her hair. She'd practically ran from her top story flat to the school which to her relief was only a couple blocks away. Once she was finally there she rushed up the steps and through the big thick doors making her way to her classroom.

"Miss Waldorf its nice to see you've joined us, please do take your seat"

"I'm sorry Mr. Hemingway, my alarm clock" she stated before getting interrupted.

"I don't care Miss Waldorf, will you please just take your seat so we can get started" he waves her off.

She quickly looks around the room to find everyone already paired up, she see's one empty table off to itself. Okay so maybe she'll just be by herself, yeah granted more work but at least now she'd know it was done right! Finally taking her seat, she opens her book to the page that's written on the board.

"Hello, I guess I'm suppose to be in this class?"

"I see were kicking off to a wonderful start this morning" the teacher sarcastically states "Let me see your paper young man" he grabs for it and begins to look. "A Mr. Bass I presume?"

"You'd presume right!" he smirks at the teacher before turning his eyes onto the class.

"Well please go take your seat, so we can get started. Last row back, forth one over. Its the only one going solo Mr. Bass." he states before turning away.

He quickly yet casually walks over four rows and then back to the last set of desk. Its then he see's the one desk that is setting solo, he quickly notes the long chestnut colored curls hanging loosely down the middle of her back. And a big red bow setting atop them. He hasn't yet seen her face because her back is what's facing him at the moment. He walks closer then around the table to face her front.

"Hey there Lab partner!" he quickly states, its then he see's her head lift. And to his amazing is the biggest pair of brown doe shaped eyes he's ever encountered. Stare up at him. "I'm Chuck, Chuck Bass" he smirks down at her, knowing full well what his voice does to the female population.

"I'm Blair Waldorf, and now sense introductions are over with, please set so we can get started!" she states before lowering her eyes back to her book.

For the first time in his life he is left speechless, who in their right mind can resist him? Who was this girl and who did she think she was! Either way he quickly takes his seat, but instead of opening his book he stare straight at her. Partly intrigue yet somewhat pissed.

"Well are you going to help?" she says after realizing he hadn't even opened his book. Raising her eyes back up to his its then she see's him staring at her. "What?"

"Oh nothing just admiring all your attributes!" he smirks at her.

"Well that's nice and all but we really need to get started" she rolls her eyes at him.

"No problem, I got this covered." He takes a match and lights the Bunsen burner.

"What are you doing?" she states before blowing it out.

"I was trying to help, that is what you ask for wasn't it?" he raises his hands outward.

"Yes but if you'd opened your book and actually read, you'd seen that were not using the Bunsen burner today!" she sighs before grabbing his book to open it to the correct page.

"I think I can managed" he quickly grabs his book back. "Look you need to relax, its the first day of class for crying out loud!" he notes her being super uptight already.

"No.. what I need is to learn this!"

"Because Why?" he honestly states.

"Because you have to get a 4 on your AP examine if you want to get a college credit!" she states without looking at him, before quickly adding "Incase you didn't know!"

"Then you'll be ahead of the game right?" he sarcastically states, knowing full and well what type of person she was already.

"Yeah, that way I can focus on the things that I'm good at and keep up my GPA." she then begins to look around for a beaker "Please tell me you got a beaker?"

"No why was I suppose to?" he states while watching her get up from her seat to grab a beaker near by.

"Okay, I need you to fill this beaker up with sodium nitrate" she quickly states while setting back down. "And I will fill this one up with sodium filtrate."

"Gotta keep up that GPA" he states before laughing slightly.

"Kinda helpful if you ever want to get a job, have a career!" she begins to fill up her beaker, still not looking at him directly.

"A job now that's something.."

"Can you just shut up and do the lab!" she was growing quite tired of him already.

"Sure, I'd love too!" he states before quickly grabbing a match and relighting the Bunsen burner. "Except your what thinking 10 years into the future are you not?" he grins at her once he see's her finally lift her head up to him. "Except you don't need chemistry for that. What you do need is time travel!" he begins to laugh again.

"Yeah, sure funny!" she rolls her eyes before blowing the flame out once more. "But I think we need to stay focused on reality here, not something that's superficial!"

"Yeah but who says you cant have fun every once in a while?" he grins before finally pouring out the right measurement into his beaker.

"Mr. Hemingway please you cant leave me with him! I mean this is AP Chemistry for crying out loud!" she tells the teacher after class. "I mean I'm trying to do my lesson while he is off in la la land dreaming about time travel for god sakes!

"Miss Waldorf, I'm sure you'll find that Mr. Bass can be quite smart when he applies himself!"

"Okay but we kinda"

"Lack Chemistry" the teacher states before raising his head up to her.

"Yeah.. pretty much, which is why you should see my dilemma!"

"Miss Waldorf my hands are tied, you were late for class this morning so therefor everyone was already paired off. Leaving you stuck with Mr. Bass. Deal with it!"

"Okay, I understand" she states before walking away, it was pretty much a no win battle with this teacher! But as she's walking away its then she hears Chuck talking to the teacher about her.

"About this Blair Waldorf, Mr. Hemingway she's a complete anal compulsive control freak! How in the world do you expect me to work with that?"

"I don't know Mr. Bass, but I expect you find out how and quick! No changing Lab Partners and theses words are final."

"Yeah, I'll do that!" he smarmily states before turning to leave. Once outside the doors to the classroom he runs into none other then Blair herself!

"Who the hell do you think you are!" she states once she see's him walk out into the hall.

"I don't know, who do you think I am?" smirking down at her. He'd been playing all along when he'd went up to the teacher. Hearing her say all those things about him only made him grin inwardly so he had to say something too about her, knowing she'd be keen to listen. And sure enough he was right! Watching her struggle with words to say. He decides to speak once more. "Look clearly were going to have to get along with one another considering we are stuck together as lab partners, whether we like it or not! Hell you never do know we might come out of this being best friends" he states before grinning even more, noting it only making her madder!

"I wouldn't take it that far Bass! I could never be friends with you!" she states before turning to leave.

"All really, well I beg to differ Waldorf!" he says, while watching her walk away knowing full well she'd heard every word.

"Hey babe"

"Nate, hey how has your day been?" she quickly gives him a peck on the cheek.

"Its been good I guess, same stuff different day." he states before taking a seat next to her.

"Oh, are you still going to come over after school?"

"I have lacrosse practice so I wont be able to, but your coming out to Butter tonight aren't you?"

"Yeah, Serena and the rest of the girls are going so I suppose I will too!" taking a bite of her fruit.

"Good I'll see you there then! But hey I gotta get going, I promise some of the guys I'd help put up game posters." he states before getting up.

"Okay, I'll see you at Butter then?" she states, but then see's him, Chuck Bass watching her a few feet over.

"Yeah definitely" its then he notes her looking towards some guy, he's never seen before. "Who's that!"

"Wha.. huh?" she turns her eyes away from Chuck to look back at her boyfriend.

"That guy, who is he? He's staring straight over here and at you none the less!" he quickly notes that already he doesn't like this dude!

"Oh that's just Chuck, he's my lab partner unfortunately!" she rolls her eyes. "But hey I'll see you tonight at Butter!" she pecks him once more.

"Yeah, tonight!" he walks away.

Blair quickly finishes up her fruit, before getting up to leave. She'd looked around a few more times after Nate left but didn't see Chuck anywhere insight. There was definitely something strange about him. Usually she was a good judge of character but with him she was drawing a blank!

"So Mr. Bass how was your fist day at Manchester Prep?"

"It was good, I guess. Schools, school right no matter where you go."

"Yes I suppose but did you find anything or something that caught your eye?"

"Oh most definitely!" he states excitedly while picturing a certain petite, brown doe eyed chestnut curled girl in his mind.

"Really, that's wonderful! Care to tell me what exactly that something is?"

"Well its not really a something, its a someone!" he smiles at the man "Its a girl!" his grin grows wider.

"Really, and what's this girl like?" noting the young mans excitement in his tone and the grin on his face.

"Well she's smart, extremely beautiful, popular. The classic TGFY, too good for you if I do say so myself!" his smile quickly turns into a smirk.

"So what your saying is she's not for you?" he states.

"Oh well I don't really see myself having a particular type. I just know what type she is!"

"Okay, so are you going to ask her out possibly on a nice little date?"

"Ask her out?... On a date?" he laughs inwardly to himself.

"What's so funny Mr. Bass?"

"I don't date! And I certainly wouldn't ask her out Mr. Woodland. That would be just a horrible idea!"

"Okay then why go though all the trouble in even telling me about this girl in particular?"

"Simple! I'm gonna have fun with her!" he smirks his devious grin.

"Fun, and what exactly does that mean?"

"What fun?" he jumps up from his seat "Fun means fun right?" he turns to look at the man. "Don't overthink it Woodland!" he state before walking away.

"Mr. Bass where do you think your going?"

"Leaving! Its been nice knowing you but I don't think I'll be needing your services any longer!"

"Chuck.. Please don't do this" using his first name.

"Do what Ale, have some fun!" he smirks once more before turning to leave. "Let the game begin!" he states to himself.

Okay tell me if you love it or hate it? I've had this story in my head for sometime now, I know I shouldn't have started a new fan fiction when I got one up and going already that still isn't finished but this idea just kept staying in my head and basically yelling at me to write it! So I did and I'm sorry for everyone who was probably hoping for an update on my other story "The Real World" and I promise I still do have plans on doing and finishing that one too. But I want feedback guys, do you like this so far? do you want more? let me know voice your opinions down in the review box and let me know.
