Setting: Kindergarten - recess
Disclaimer: Gossip Girl characters don't belong to me.
Little Charles Bartholomew Bass was most definitely unlike the other children. He didn't find kindergarten fun at all and he found recess to be a complete bore. While other kids chose to play on the playground or sit together in groups and chatter about (that was mostly girls), he was sitting by himself on the bench near the swings. It was near the end of the first week of kindergarten at Constance Billiard-St. Judes School for the Young and nobody had yet bothered to talk to the boy who wore a suit every day. Only some annoying kids would dare approach him and ask him why he wore a suit every day.
My daddy told me kids wear suits to kindergarten, Chuck would reply.
The kids in response would give him a weird look and leave him to play with other kids that dressed more normally.
In truth, Chuck wanted to wear a suit to class every day. It made him feel older like his daddy and maybe his daddy would be proud enough to come home more. Plus, he didn't care what the other kids said about what he wore. He liked knowing he dressed better than all of them.
As he sat on the bench alone, trying not to get his navy blue Ralph Lauren suit too crinkled, a boy with dirty blonde hair ran up to him.
"Hi, do you want to play tag with us?" asked this boy, pointing his finger to the sweaty group of boys who were running around in circles and screaming.
Chuck evaluated at his classmate's appearance. The blonde-haired boy's hair was messy from all the running. He wore a solid black polo with khaki trousers. Despite the minor disheveled look of the boy, Chuck liked what he was wearing enough to reply.
"No. I don't run," said Chuck and looked away.
The blonde-haired boy looked a bit surprised at the boy-in-the-suit's answer. He thought all boys liked playing tag or any kind of sport.
"Oh," said the blonde-haired boy.
The blonde-haired boy, Nathaniel Archibald (called Nate by everyone else), had been stealing glances at the lonely boy-in-the-suit for the entire week during recess. Nate couldn't figure out why he was always sitting by himself on a bench or why he never came to play tag with the other boys. One day, while his mommy was dressing him up for school, he told her about this boy-in-the-suit.
"Mommy, there's a boy who sits by himself every day at recess. I think it's because he's a spy." told Nate to Mrs. Archibald, who was buttoning up his shirt.
"Why do you think that?" asked Mrs. Archibald, amused with her son's theory.
"Because he wears a suit everyday and he looks at all of us during recess," said Nate very seriously. The boy-in-the-suit certainly reminded Nate of the spies from the movies his dad showed him.
"And he doesn't smile," added Nate.
"Well, have you talked to him?" asked Mrs. Archibald with a very sweet smile.
"No," answered Nate simply.
"Why not?" asked a startled Mrs. Archibald. She had always taught her son about manners and being friendly to new people.
"Because the boys always make me 'it' so I have to go and tag somebody," grumbled Nate.
Mrs. Archibald laughed lightly at her son's grumbling.
"Well, try talking to him. I'm sure he could use a friend," said Mrs. Archibald, ruffling her son's hair.
Remembering what his mom told him, Nate stuck his hand out and introduced himself.
"I'm Nathaniel Archibald," he started.
Chuck turned his head back to Nate, who was giving him a very friendly smile. Nate's smile was enough reason to make Chuck smile back and shake Nate's hand.
"I'm Chuck Bass," said Chuck in return.
Chuck was beginning to like this Nathaniel a lot. Nathaniel was the first person that didn't ask Chuck why he was wearing a suit. Not many people were kind to Chuck at home and nobody at school ever smiled at Chuck. Not even the teacher.
"Are you sure you don't want to play with us, Chuck?" asked Nate.
At Nate's second offer, Chuck was sorely tempted to join him this time so he didn't have to sit alone anymore. But he thought about how angry his nanny would be if she saw his suit dirty.
"No, I can't get my suit dirty. My nanny will get mad at me," explained Chuck.
It was then that Nate realized that Chuck was not a spy after all and that Chuck's nanny was the reason all along. He felt very sorry for Chuck. He couldn't imagine how he'd feel not being able to play tag during recess.
"We can sit together during snack time then!" said Nate.
Chuck quickly said "okay" to Nate's offer and Nate left him afterwards to continue his game.
Suddenly, kindergarten didn't seem that bad anymore to Chuck, who had just made his first friend.
Soon after Nate left, a girl with soft brown curls and a bright red hair-band crowned on top of her head walked up to Chuck's bench. She said nothing and sat on the opposite side of Chuck. After a few minutes of silence, the little girl finally broke the silence.
"Are you friends with Nate?" asked the girl.
Chuck looked at this girl and found two bright round-eyes staring at him curiously.
"Yeah," replied Chuck, happy to say he had a friend. "I am."
"I'm friends with him, too," said Blair. "I'm Blair, Blair Waldorf."
As she introduced herself, she held her head high and sat up straight as if she were a princess introducing herself.
Chuck replied, "I'm Chuck Bass."
"Why are you wearing a suit to school Chuck?" asked Blair.
"Because my dad said kids wear suits to kindergarten," responded Chuck a little bit too defensively.
Blair was slightly taken aback at Chuck's angry tone but persisted in her conversation with Chuck.
"Well, I like it," commented Blair on Chuck's spotless Ralph Lauren suit.
"Really?" asked Chuck with much surprise. Most kids called him weird but this girl actually liked what he was wearing.
"I think we should dress up nicely for school," stated Blair, loftily.
Not only did she like her outfit, but Chuck noticed she dressed very nicely like him. Blair was wearing a red plaid jumper dress with a black long-sleeved underneath. She wore black stockings underneath and on her feet were shiny red Mary-Jane's that matched her jumper and hair band. Maybe the girl who asked him the same question as everyone else wasn't that bad. She was actually quite nice to him. And very pretty.
The bell rang and the kids started to scramble for the door.
Blair pushed herself off the bench, smoothed out her dress, and motioned Chuck to follow her. Chuck got off the bench and walked to her side.
"Come sit with me, Nate, and Serena when it's snack time!" said Blair.
Chuck couldn't help but smile at the second friendly invitation he was given and walked inside to school with Blair quite contently. In one day, Chuck had made two friends, two friends who were nice to him and didn't have a problem with his suit.
