Last Nights Dinner is Today's Lunch
Gossip Girl: # Spotted, non-virgin, leaving the Bass Bar at 6 in the morning?...wearing last nights attire...who had a late night? Thats our girl! you know you love me! #
Serena approaches Blair who is walking into school.
S: Hey B! Wait up.
Blair looks back but continues to walk.
S:
B? How are you? oh Ye how was last night. did you make an
appearance?
B: It was dull.
S: Really? The Basses dont do dull!
Come on what was it really like?
Chuck comes up from behind inviting himself to the conversation.
C:
What was what like? (gives Blair a teasing look, which isnt
reciprocated)
S: Your opening night? i was just asking Blair
how it went? But by the looks of it, she didnt enjoy herself! You
did keep her company didnt you!
C: Ofcourse, I had sole
responsibility over her, she had the time of her life....why dont you
ask her again..i'm sure...
(is interrupted by an angry Blair who
trys to pull Serena away from him in order to end the
conversation)
B: Chuck! dont flatter yourself! I didnt enjoy
myself one bit...Serena, i left after like an hour or so...like i
said it wasnt my scene i should never of gone in the first place.
(as Serena releases herself and turns to chuck)
S:
Really chuck? You invite us and then you desert B?! I
thought you'd at least hang about with her, you knew she was
alone there, you would have been the only person there she knew, do
you always have to be so self-conceited and selfish!
B: Well he
obviously only cares about himself! Lets go!
Chuck is
almost in shock at Blairs behaviour. He decides not to argue and
remains quite whilst the girls turn and walk away.
Blair
turns to look back at him and receives a nod of disappointment from
Chuck.
S: I cant believe he left you on your own!
And yesterday he was so desperate for you to go to that thing!
B:
Well like i said, he only cares about himself.
S: I know but i
thought that...you know...he kinda liked you...well not liked...not
like like but more of had a soft spot for you... do you know
what i mean?
B: (Blair show discontent) Are you crazy! he only has
one soft spot, and its on the lower half of his body!
Serena
laughs at Blairs admission
S: No, but with you...he's
different...you know?
B: No, i don't know! and your
wrong!
S: But comon, i think he kind of respects
you. He's never done or said anything to hurt your feelings, he never
says anything mean to you the way he does with me and other people,
in fact he kind of flirts with you!
B: No way! of course he says
mean things to me! we've never had a constructive conversation! you
know that! And respect? He doesn't respect himself!
S: Thats
not true...think about it...your the one that says mean things to
him, yet he never says anything back...in fact when you curse
him, he'll turn it into a suggestive flirtatious remark! He's always
teasing you in a flirtatious way! He's never like that with anyone
else. And he knows what your like...you know...that your not
like most other girls...pining after any guy...sleeping around
and that....he respects you for that.
B: How do you know? Has he
said anything to you about me?
S: Well, no , but i can just
tell....i know him well enough to recognise that
he's.........different with you.
B: But how do you know how he
feels...your acting as though he's spoken about me....to you...has
he?
S: No, but just some of the things he says to you,
like how your different from the girls he hangs around with.
B:
He's never said anything like that...your just making it up.
S: B!
im not, you obviously dont pay much attention to the signs.
B:
Ok now your freaking me out! Stop this Mother Chucker talk I'm
not interested! and don't ever bring this up with anyone else
either!
S: Ok, no need to get defensive, i was just making a
deduction! Anyway, im sure if he wanted you he would have made a
move by now!
B: Ye....Exactly....and he hasn't....so hush! (has
a flashback of the night before, with Chuck)
Lunch Time at
school, Blair walks down corridor.
Someone suddenly pulls her into
a a corner out of site from everyone else.
Chuck Bass.
B:
You! What do you think you're doing!!
C: You left so early in the
morning?
B: I dont know what you're talking about, let go of
me! (struggles to break free)
Chuck keeps hold of her, doesn't
want to let go.
B: You're hurting me let go!
Chuck lets go but
blocks her way.
C: You left before i woke up....you should have
waited, i would've given you a ride home...or did you prefer walking
out in that state?
B: Anything to be away from you!
C: Thats
not what you said last night....while you were begging for more.
B:
Ugghh dont make me sick!
C: I'm just pointing out your
satisfaction of my company.
B: You were in the right place at the
right time., you could have been any guy... but unfortunately i got
stuck with you.
C: Now why dont i believe that? You wouldn't sleep
with a guy, unless it meant something to you...
B: Well you
obviously don't know me as well as you think!
C: I disagree.
B:
Well that's you're opinion...now move out of my way.
C: Another
thing...Serena is you best friend, why haven't you told her about
last night?
B: Nothing happened last night! OKAY! there's nothing
to tell!
C: You made me look like an idiot in front of her. I
looked after you last night and you made out that i ditched you!
B:
Looked after me?!! HUH! you exploited me!
C: That's a lie and you
know it! You wanted to do it just as much as i did....admit it
Waldorf...you lust over me.
B: HA!! you really think
that?
C: I know it...
B: Maybe it's you that lusts over
me...?
Chuck, quite taken aback by that remark, turns slightly away from her.
C: I dont think so......I lust over no one.
Chuck looks back at blair, and gives his trademark glare..
C:I'm Chuck Bass.
B: Well maybe
Chuck Bass is into me? It would explain your desperate attempts to
lure me in.
C: What attempts? (chuck begins to struggle with what
to say) .............Last night was just........ game play....thats
all...i only slept with you cuz i felt sorry for you...and
anyway...it was just a ploy...i wanted to conquer the
unconquered..dont get too full of yourself...your nothing
special...your below special.....in fact you were nothin spectacular
last night...no wonder nate had to pursue serena...(guilt ridden look
on his face for what he just said)
Blair looks shocked
and clearly upset...almost teary eyed as she takes a step back,
before turning around and running away.
Chuck watches after her,
did he really mean all that or does he regret what he said?
And
what was serena saying about Chuck never saying anything mean to
Blair??? Maybe Blair picked a nerve there...?
Blair at
home.
Receives phone call from serena.
S: Hey B,
Where are you, i thought we were gonna go shopping after school?
B:
I'm at home, not feeling well, i left school after lunch.
S:
Oh,...is everything ok? i can come round if you want.
B: No thanks
im fine.
Blair hangs up.
She sits on her bed with a
box of tissues.
Outside school.
Serena is walking
down street, a limo stops near her.
Limo window down, chuck is
inside.
C: Need a ride?
S: What, from you? No thanks. i'd
rather walk.
C: Suit yourself.
Serena remembers the conversation she had with Blair about Chuck, and now the fact that Blair has gone home...something seems up..so she quickly changes her mind.
S: Chuck! (calls after him just as his limo moves off),
actually, you know what, i'll take you up on that offer.
C: Change
of heart?
Chuck opens the door and moves over to let Serena in.
C: So, where are you going? Alone...
S: I had a
shopping trip planned with B, but she went home after lunch.
Apparently she's feeling sick.
Chuck avoids delving into the
conversation and looks away.
Serena can tell by the look on his
face that something is wrong.
S: Chuck...is something up? I
mention Blair and all of a sudden you go all awkward on me?
C:
Nothings up.
S: Fine.....urmm about this morning...i didnt mean to
be harsh with you or anything...it's just...i can be quite protective
over B....she's really insecure and sensitive you
know...fragile...she gets upset really easily and the fact that you
didn't keep her company last night would have upset her and i was
just defending her you know.
Chuck doesn't respond....Blair lying about last night to Serena is the least of his worries...it's becoming more clear to him that he must have really hurt her feelings at lunch. Regret pours over him, but he remains quite.
S:
Chuck...? Is everything ok? is not like you to seem so
distant....hello what have you done to Chuck Bass!! (as she knocks on
his head)
C: (Moving his head away from her) I'm Fine! And for
your information, you have your facts wrong! i was with her last
night the whole time...I didn't leave her for a second.
S: What?
(laughs) No way! ........wait...your serious? (chuck glares) No,
...Blair wouldnt lie....
C: Well clearly she does.
S: But why
would she lie to me about that, and infront of you..? wait maybe she
was just embarrased....you know what she's like...never wanting to
concede.
C: Sure, whatever.
S: No seriously...ok...she could
have told me in private...but maybe she was ...i dunno....ashamed
that she actually enjoyed herself...just like we said she would! So,
you hung out? did she have fun?
C: Why dont you ask her.
S: ok,
Maybe i will...... Did.... you have fun?
C: (Looks at
serena...short silence)
S: i'll take that as a yes!
Serena looks at her phone to check for messages.
S: Did you see her
today after lunch? She didn't seem ill in the morning....i wonder
what happened to her.
C: Well why dont you go see her....to make
sure she's ok.
S: And since when did you get soft? i didnt know
you had a caring bone in your body.
C: I'm not getting soft! i was
just making a suggestion. And i did see blair at lunch....we
spoke....
S: Oh, and did she seem well.
C: She's not sick....I
may have said something.
S: What do you mean?
C: I was angry
with her for lying about last night...to you. I may have said a few
things that i didnt mean.
S: Like what Chuck!
C: Go see her,
it's probably the reason she went home....look i didnt mean to upset
her....i couldn't control it ok...the words just rolled off my tongue
without me having a chance to think about what i was
saying.....ok...i didnt mean any of it....i swear. make sure she
knows that.
S: Why dont you make sure! You go see
her...apologise!
C: I dont apologise to no one. All i'm saying is
that i said something that i shouldn't have said. if you want to make
her feel better tell her i didn't mean it.
S: But did you mean
it?
C: I...No. Like i said, i shouldn't have said it to her.
S:
OK fine, take me to her house, ill speak to her....you know what! i
knew something was wrong...wherever there's chuck trouble follows
closely behind! You just have to hurt everything you come in contact
with. You know something, i dont respect you but i'd still class you
as a friend...just because of how long we've known each other and
been "friends", it's like we owe it to each other to be on
the same side. But Blair? she doesn't owe you anything, she doesn't
have to be friends with vermin like you, but she chose to be because
she might actually like you...but no you couldn't have that so you
just ruin it all!
C: Calm down ok...i dont appreciate being
insulted whilst in my own vicinity. And since when the hell was Blair
ever friendly with me! I gave her the time of day but all i got back
was insolence...you really need to think things through before you
make such accusations!
S:(seems to agree with him slightly- short
silence, they both sit back) I'm sorry ok....your right...maybe this
is just one big misunderstanding you know? my friendship with Blair
is practically on the rocks...i feel like i'm on a trial period and
if i slip up it's over again....i don't wanna lose her again...and
most of all i dont want her to lose me....she needs me....she can't
cope alone.....like i said before she's sensitive and she needs
friends....i made a huge mistake and i'm sure she's not over it...i
guess that's why i'm so protective over her....so im sorry for
lashing out on you...i just don't want her to get hurt again.
C: I
understand.
S: (surprised look on face) Really? you actually
understand what i mean?
C: Your stop. Waldorf residence.
Limo stops.
S: Look you should go in...talk to her...
C: I did
that at lunch...it didnt work.
S: Try again....please....if you
want to apologise to her you should do it yourself....I know you make
out that your this care free tough guy whose only interest is getting
drunk and wasted...only wanting sex from women...but i know you have
a softer side to you...it's just a matter of discovering it.
C:
Your thinking too much...Im Chuck Bass...what you see...is what you
get.
S: But your different with Blair...i've always noticed
that...you sweet with her. And you right you have given her the time
of day...you're always nice to her, even when she treats you
bad...you just let her get away with it.
C: Like at lunch today?
(sarcastic, because he was horrible to her at lunch)
S: Well
everyone gets frustrated sometimes...i know you didn't mean to hurt
her but, im sure you only said those things because of the
frustration or rebellion or whatever...it doesn't matter...the point
is you didnt mean it...she needs to know that.
C: Then go tell
her..... whatever you want. I have plans.
S: (disappointed look)
Fine... have it your way. Run away...i'll go talk to her.
Serena gets out of limo and limo drives off.
In Blairs room, Serena
walks in.
Blair is lying on bed.
S: Hey Blair...Dorota let
me in....you ok?
B: What do you want...i told you im not well...
leave me on my own.
Serena sits down on bed.
S: Is there anything you wanna tell me.....about what really happened last night?
Blair springs up on bed.
B: What do you
know?!
S: Nothing much...just that Chuck seems to remember that he
spent the whole time with you at the opening.
Blair looks away.
S: B why didnt you just tell me! Its no big deal!
......... is it because you thought id make fun of you or
something?
B: Maybe.
S: B! I would never do that....theres
nothing wrong with hanging out with Chuck! I mean...ok...maybe there
is a little bit...but if you had a good time thats all that
matters...!!! And you had a good time right?
Blair smiles
B:
Ye. (she then remembers lunch and becomes upset again)
S: Ok
great, you were honest...thats good. It's totally ok if you had
fun...even if it was with a Bass. He is a party animal as i've
heard....i just hope he hasn't converted you! I dont want you ending
up like....Georgina!
B: That will never happen! Chuck has no
influence on me. I hate him. (voice trails off)
S: He gave me a
lift here.
Blair looks up.
S: I was gonna go shopping
and i bumped into him, he was giving me lift to town...but then we
spoke...
B: What did he tell you!
S: Someting about a
conversation you guys had at lunch BUT dont worry! He didnt give me
details....i just mentioned the fact that you went home sick after
lunch and by his expression i could tell something was wrong so i
asked and he told me you guys spoke at lunch and that he may have
said some really horrible things that he didnt mean and wished he'd
never said. Blair? what did he say?
Tears build up in Blairs eyes.
S: Come on honey you can tell me. please i wanna be there for you.
After a pause Blair turns to Serena.
B:
He was so malicious . he said that i was nothing special and that
Nate had good reason to cheat on me, he made out that i was wasnt
worthy....wasnt good enough....i mean...why did he have to bring up
nate!? he knows im trying to get over that but he used it to insult
me! to hurt my feelings...why would he do that to me...
S: Look he
told me that he regretted it...he must have just spoken in haste
without realising what he was saying...you know what he's like! He
has no sense of empathy.
B: But he didnt have to say those things!
(sobs)
S: I know hun...what can i say...i could tell he felt
guilty....i know for a fact he didnt mean to hurt you.
B: NO YOU
DONT! You dont know him!!! He hates me and i hate him too! I wish i'd
never gone to that stupid thing with him! why do these things happen
to me!!!
S: Look i dont understand what would make him say that
but i do know that he wanted to somehow apologise. Ssshhh hun,
please...dont cry...it'l be ok.
short silence while serena tries to comfort Blair.
S: Hey, what were you guys talking
about before it turned ugly?
B: urmmm.. i dont remember.
S:
Comon, think...what did you say right before he said those things?
B:
(speech is broken) Ummm...he was being his conceited self....accusing
me of lusting over him...just his way of trying to come onto a
girl...but then i....kind of ....you know....turned it round on
him....saying that it was him that was after me....always making
desperate attempts on me....and then he got all angry and said those
things....i wasn't saying it to him in a bad way...i was talking in
our usual way...i didnt deserve to be treated like that! i dont know
why he got so angry...
S: Defensive.
B: ...What? (looking
puzzled)
S: He wasnt angry Blair...he was in denial...just like
you were. remember in the morning, when i spoke to you about the very
same thing? The fact that i thought he was different with you and you
went all defensive on me and told me to shutup.
B: I didnt tell
you to shutup, i didnt get angry with you.
S: No you got
defensive...only you've been defensive before...thats why you knew
how to do it right without getting angry...and i've seen you get
defensive before so thats why i could tell you didnt mean it.
B:
What's your point S?
S: Well think about it...Chuck isnt the way
he is with you, with anyone else...he likes coming on to you and he
accuses you of liking him... its projection...he's the one that likes
you...when you confronted him about it, he didnt know how to handle
it...hes never been in that situation before..so it's fight or flight
and he resorted to something he's never done before...get angry with
you and insult you. He was just being defensive...of course he didnt
mean what he said...it was to late for him to realise what he'd said
was wrong because he'd already said it. He didnt mean it Blair.
There's more to it that what it seems.
B: But it hurt....and it
still hurts..... And thats just your opinion. you could be wrong. and
you probably are. why cant you just admit he's inconsiderate and
purely evil. he doesnt care about anyone except himself and i hate
him!
S: B, Comon, just calm down...give my opinion a chance. trust
me. i can see it on his face. this is different. he's different with
this. trust me.
B: I'm not his type.
S: (giggles) Really! and
what is his type!
B: A whore.
S: (laughs) Blair! that might be
what he passes his time on...but do you really think he'd want to
spend the rest of his life with a woman like that?
B: I wouldn't
be surprised. And i dont think he'd want just the one woman.
S:
Blair, he's young, hes a guy...they need exploration.
B: They need
sex.
S: Exactly...he's a womaniser...the kind of guy who spends
his youth getting hammered, stoned and sleeping around as
much as possible.. but he still has a dream.
B: What are you on
about?
S: I mean...he might be a player now, but he still dreams
of finding that perfect woman who he can spend the rest of his life
with...he's just not ready to find her at the moment...unless...
B:
Unless what?
S: Unless...he thinks she's found him.
B: I hope
your not thinking what i think you are!
S: What! (laughs) what b!
you think im wrong! maybe he'd disagree with me too. I dont think he
knows it yet...but i think he's seen something in you.
B: I dont
wanna talk about this...i hate him and i dont want to talk about him
anymore.
S: B, just think about it ok...maybe he likes you and
he's just confused...i've always known he has a soft spot for
you...he's probably just going through the motions right now...it
would explain the outburst.... and a lot of other things for that
matter.
B: You should go, i want to get some rest.
S: Ok (blair
gets up to escort Serena out of the room) But just dont rule it out
ok....and dont be upset anymore....you know he didnt mean it and im
sure it's a matter of time before he'l apologise to you....ok just
give it a chance.
B: Give what a chance?
S: Him.
B
Bye...i'll see you tomorrow at school.
S:Ok, bye, see you
tommorrow take care.
Serena exits room, Blair closes door
behind her and leans on door for a while, just thinking about what
Serena said.
Blair smiles a little before frowning again for even
contemplating a smile!
