So this is my newest fic, its centered around Blair and Chuck's forbidden romance. I'll using most of the season one storyline for the background; I just twisted it around for my fic. Jenny is a freshman when Blair is a senior. The rest of the past events will become known as the story goes on. Hope you like it.

Chapter 1- First Day Back

Nothing about today was good. It was the first day of her senior year, she should have been happy; she was queen. She had her boyfriend back. She would rule Constance Billard with an iron fist for her final year of reign before handing down the torch. But she wasn't happy. She hadn't been happy for the last two weeks if she was honest, and she knew why, but she couldn't think about it. Not now. She had to be perfect today, it was expected. And perfect girls didn't mope, or frown or wish more than anything they could just runaway from what laid outside their door. A world that was cruel and unforgiving, where eyes were constantly on her waiting for her to mess up so the could catalog it, but this was her world. She had even chosen it for herself, because she had truly believed it was what she wanted, he was what she wanted. But now everything was wrong. Yes, today would not be a good day.

She and Serena walked arm and arm to school; they entered the courtyard. Serena immediately spotted her Brooklyn boyfriend, Dan. She blushed and giggled as she waved to him. It was nauseating.

"Blair, do you wanna hang with me and Dan before school?" Blair cringed at the idea of spending her morning listening to Dan drone on about his latest short story.

"I can't, I have to go pick the new minions. Kati and Is have narrowed it down to ten, I have to pick the final four from the freshmen." Blair answered.

"Good, you love picking new minions!" Serena cheered.

"Yes, it'll be fun." Blair gave a small smile before making her way to her spot at the top of the met steps. She spotted the freshman already waiting ten steps down from where she took her rightful place. Blair had reviewed all their files and had already made her decision.

"I won't drag this out any longer than I need to. I'm sure you're all nervous and you should be. The four I pick will sky rocket up to greatness. You'll go to the best parties, date the most popular boys, and of course will earn spots on Gossip Girl's blog. The rest of you will spend the next foru years of your life in social mediocrity. I don't take my task in deciding your fates lightly. My choices are Camille Forbes, Sara Winchester, Megan Reese-Mitchell, and Jenny Humphrey. The rest of you can go." The lucky chosen looked as though every wish they'd ever made had come true. The other six looked broken and defeated. Quickly collecting their belonging and walking off, their heads hanging in shame. Blair directed her attention to the lucky four. "I expect you to meet here everyday before school and at lunch. Absences and tardies are grounds for dismissal. Kati and Is will give you your head bands." Blair picked up her purse and walked off to class.

Blair sat in her AP American Literature class staring out the window. Normally she was a very attentive student she was ranked number two out of all the girls, but lately nothing seemed to hold her attention, not until two figures emerged from the boys hall. Chuck and Nate didn't even try to be sneaky as they ditched class to smoke weed. She was sure it was what they were doing, it was all they seemed to do together lately and Blair didn't mind that. She watched their retreating figures disappear behind a building. It must have been nice to not have to care about anything.

"Blair!" Serena called as she walked up behind her in the hallway. "So I hear you picked Dan's sister to be in your group. Thank you so much."

"Its not a big deal, she did the calligraphy for my Kiss On The Lips party invites over the summer, it seemed fair."

"Since when do you care about fairness? You never let non-trust fund girls into your group."

"I didn't admit her for you, a girl like that is desperate. She'll do anything to please me, and that is a trait in a minion I very much like."

"Just don't torture her. I really don't want Dan to think you let her in just to screw with him."

"I don't care enough about Humphrey to mess with him."

"Thanks, I guess."

"No problem."

"Just try to be nice to her, ok."

"I am not going to treat her any differently than any of the other minions."

"That's why I said 'be nice to her'." Blair turned to Serena and frowned.

"I don't have time for this."

"Blair what's up? You've been all frowny-face all day. I get going back to school sucks, but it's our senior year. Why have you been so sad lately?"

"I'm not sad" Blair lied. "I'm just nervous, College is just around the corner and I've just been thinking a lot lately about everything and I don't now…"

"Getting nostalgic?"

"Yeah sure."

"Don't worry B, we still have the whole year!"

"Yes, we do. I have to go to class, I can't be late on the first day."

"Ok, see you at lunch?"

"Of course, S."

As Blair sat in her Economics class she heard the soft buzzing of her phone, she waited until the teacher's back was turned to the board and grabbed it out of her bag. She read the text.

I need to see u

I'm in class She responded.

We need 2 talk

Well I can't right now

After skool in the library. B there

Fine

She should have known this would happen, things had been too calm lately. The storm was approaching fast, and she'd already agreed to meet it after school.

As the final bell rang Blair made her way slowly to the library. It was completely empty except for a few freshmen picking up their books. Blair walked to the back by the classical fiction section. She was flipping threw a Jane Austen novel when she heard his footsteps. She didn't turn to look at him, she couldn't.

"You always did like the classics." His voice was velvety smooth.

"What do you want Chuck?" She didn't want to play this game.

"You know what I want. Its what I always want."

"Well is you came here looking for a quickie, you can dream on."

"But I don't have to dream, my memory works perfectly."

"Stop." It had been meant to come out like a command; instead her voice shrank into a whisper.

"I can't."

Blair turned to look at him, "Well you have to, and you can't text me to meet you places. We can't have secret rendezvous in the library. People will start to suspect something's up."

"Something is up."

"Not anymore, we can't do this."

"Why?"

"You know why. How can you be his best friend and do this? This thing between us, its over."

The tips of Chuck's fingers brushed her lips, before skimming across her jaw, and capturing a curl that had fallen out of place. He wrapped it around his finger and released it before cupping her cheek and pulling her face close to his. His lips hovered above her ear.

"Waldorf, we are nowhere near over." His lips dropped down placing a chaste kiss on her cheek, before stalking off. Blair's hand went up to where his lips had been; he had branded her. It was invisible to the rest of the world, but she could feel it, feel him. They would never be over, but they had to be because it wasn't the Bass diamond that would be on her finger after graduation.

If Blair had been more aware of her surroundings, instead of focused on Chuck she would have realized the familiar skinny, blonde freshman that stood in the library. She was just out of earshot, but sill able to see the intimate exchange between the Queen of Constance and a mystery man.
