Don't own Gossip Girl or 'Portions for Foxes' by Rilo Kiley. Enjoy!


Chapter One

There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

Mackenzie smoothed out the invisible wrinkles on her skirt. She didn't like uniforms but she gave hers a little twist. Her long hair was pulled into a messy ponytail; her make up was dark and mysterious but simple. She was wearing her favorite Christian Louboutin boots which showed off her long, tan legs and her Marc Jacobs leather jacket. Her father insisted that she use his company's town cars…she hated it. She made small talk with her driver Henry and counted the number of taxis they passed on the way to Constance's. The car came to a halt right in front of the school, despite the chilly weather there were several groups of kids hanging out in front of the entrance in deep discussions. Mackenzie thanked Henry and told him she could handle it from here. She stepped out of the dark sedan and plastered a confident smile on her face. She sashayed up the stairs pretending not to notice the glares she was receiving from the girls and the look of shock on the boy's faces.

She continued on to the entrance of the school when she heard a familiar voice. "Mackenzie Warren."

"Bass, how lovely it is to see you again, and you seem sober," she smirked. She was well aware that everyone was looking at the two of them. "I see you've done your homework. What is it with Bass men? Can't keep an air of mystery."

"I suppose it's apart of our irresistible charm," Chuck mused. "Though I'm not sure if my father is irresistible."

She refrained from rolling her eyes, "Do I sense Daddy issues? And to think we just met a couple days ago and your already spilling your guts."

"Hardly, sweetheart. I'll let you be on your way, I'm sure we will be seeing much more of each other," He sauntered off.

She shook her head at his retreating figure, there was something intriguing about Chuck Bass. She collected everything she needed from the main office and headed towards her locker. There was a girl blocking her locker, she recognized her as one of the girls glaring at her earlier with an entire posse of pathetic girls surrounding her. She had been to enough schools to know that she was the bitch who ran the place.

She marched up to the brunette, "Excuse me, but I do believe you are standing in front of my locker."

Everyone had stopped talking and the brunette ran her eyes over her, inspecting her. "And you are?"

"I'm getting a headache, could you please move," Mackenzie smiled sweetly. Before she could respond, a girl with blond hair appeared next to her.

"B, is something wrong?" she asked who must have witnessed the power struggle between the two. Please enter the diplomatic best friend Mackenzie almost said.

Before the brunette could answer, I replied quickly, "I need to get to my locker." I pointed to behind "B."

The blond sent me an apologetic smile and dragged her friend to the other side of the hallway. I could hear snippets of conversations.

"Did you hear the way she talked to Blair?"

"Is that the new Miu Miu bag?"

"Who is she?"

"Does she look familiar to you?"

"Predictable," she muttered while opening her locker.

"It's not a good idea to piss Blair Waldorf off," a petite blond materialized to the left of her locker. "I'm Jenny Humphrey, by the way."

"Mackenzie Warren, and thanks for the advice but I know a lot of girls like her," Mackenzie brushed off. "So are you a sophomore?"

Jenny giggled, "I wish, I'm a freshman. I'm going to guess your new here?"

"Yeah, I just moved here last week from London."

"Cool, I've always wanted to go to Europe…why don't you have an accent?"

"You ask a lot of questions," Mackenzie responded, to which Jenny blushed. "I was born here in the states but I've lived there for ages, so the accent comes and goes."

The warning bell rang leaving five minutes to get to the first class, "Oh! I better get going, it's nice to meet you Mackenzie."

She waved goodbye to Jenny and picked up her new school books. The halls were almost empty as she dug around in her purse looking for the note she was suppose to give to her teacher. She didn't notice the boy in front of her until her books were all over the ground and she was sitting on the floor. "Ow."

"Shit! I'm so sorry," he exclaimed. His blue eyes were full of concern. "Are you ok?"

"No, I mean yes. It's my first day here, so it's not like it could get any worse," she rambled on. He held out his hand and helped her up. She took her books from his hand, "Thanks."

He stared at her for a few seconds before asking, "Have we met before? You look really familiar."

"No, I don't believe so," she mumbled, shifting her books slightly. Before he could say anything else she was running to her first period. "Crap. I'm going to be late to my first class."

Gossip Girl (Voice Over):

It's a good thing Queen B nor her loyal minions saw that…you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. Is it just me or should B feel a little threatened?

Xoxo

Mackenzie's morning dragged on for what seemed like ages. She pasted on her bright smile and told each class her name and where she was from. It was exhausting. She did her best to steer clear of Blair Waldorf and her followers but it seemed like she had almost all of their classes together. She sighed in relief when the final bell rang and everyone fled the room for lunch. Mackenzie couldn't help but think of the cute blue-eyed guy that she ran into. As soon as she sat down at a table in the courtyard Jenny came bouncing over.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" she asked brightly.

"Not at all," she scooted her bag over and made space for her. I pulled out my lunch which consisted of a Coke, a deli sandwich, and some chips. Not to mention her favorite chocolate chip cookies. She looked over to see Jenny staring at her in disbelief. "What?"

"Are you going to eat all of that?" Jenny asked.

Mackenzie blushed slightly, "Yeah, why?"

"And you look like that?" she asked pointing at her body. Mackenzie nodded. "God, I hope you don't think I'm being rude but you look so perfect."

"I don't believe in the whole eating celery sticks and guzzling down water diet," she muttered. She opened her can of Coke and took a bite out of her sandwich.

"Good, neither do I. So can I have a piece of your cookie?"

Mackenzie laughed and split her cookie in half handing it to Jenny. "Here you go, I swear these are the world's best cookies ever."

"Oh my god!" Jenny cried out. She pulled out her cell phone and flipped through the messages. "I knew you looked familiar…"

"You know, you're like the fifth person to say that to me today," she stared at the message on Jenny's phone.

"Obviously, not your best angle," Chuck sneered, he took the vacant seat next to Mackenzie sitting unnecessarily close to her.

"Why do you have a picture of me and Chuck?" Mackenzie asked confused. "And Chuck could you please move a few feet."

"Oh, duh. I forgot you were new here for a minute. It was a message from Gossip Girl--," Jenny tried to explain before Chuck interrupted her.

"She's this nosy bitch who keeps a gossip blog about Upper East Siders finest," Chuck snapped. Mackenzie knitted her eyebrows in confusion.

"She has all these spies and they send in tips or pictures, usually creating a lot of gossip. If you want something to get around fast send it to her. Lend me your phone and I'll add you to her mailing list, that way you won't be blindsided because you're going to be a topic of interest for a while," Jenny elaborated. Chuck stared at his fingernails looking mildly bored.

Mackenzie handed Jenny her cell. "And she can do this?"

"Unfortunately," frowned Jenny.

Chuck eyed Mackenzie, "If you're hiding something, Gossip Girl will most likely found out what it is."

"Hmm, Bass, you are the one that did the whole background check on me…certainly I have nothing to hide," she snapped. Jenny looked back and forth between the two, enjoying how fearless Mackenzie seemed to be.

"Chuck, I've been looking for you all over the place, man." Mackenzie's heart beat a little faster at the sight of the guy she ran into early this morning. "I've been meaning to ask you, are you still going to Monaco for break?"

"Seriously, Bass, you're going to Monaco, too?" Mackenzie groaned. "Excuse me, while I go jump off the building."

Jenny stifled a giggle and patted Mackenzie's arm, "I'm sure you'll have fun."

Chuck smirked at Mackenzie and turned to Nate, "Nathaniel, of course I'm going to Monaco, god forbid I spend the holidays with Bart Bass…are you planning on joining me this year? Frankly, I'm surprised Blair is allowing you to come."

Nate scratched his eyebrow, "I haven't told her yet."

"Trouble in paradise already?" Chuck raised his eyebrow. "Where are my manners, this is Mackenzie Warren, Mackenzie this is my best friend Nathaniel Archibald."

Nathaniel turned and looked at Mackenzie as if he didn't know she was there before. "Oh hey, we met already this morning and I go by Nate, actually."

Mackenzie smiled and nodded, "Yeah, Nate ran me over this morning while I was one my way to first period which I was almost late to."

"Accident, scout's honor," Nate responded. "Chuck, did you ever find that girl you were looking for?"

"Bass, you've been telling everyone about me…If it wasn't you I'd be flattered." She popped the other piece of the cookie in her mouth, now aware that the entire courtyard of people was now looking at all of them. "Well, this is awkward…People aren't as rude in England. Besides the fact that Chuckles here is talking to everyone about me, why are they staring at us?"

Jenny spoke up for the first time in a while, "Mackenzie, I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why they are staring at us. Let see they all have probably realized that you are the girl from the Gossip Girl post. Oh and maybe because Blair Waldorf is coming over right now and she looks like she wants to kill someone."

Blair stood next to Nate, putting a protective arm around his waist. Her posse was standing behind the two and sending dark glares at Mackenzie and Jenny. "I thought we were going to eat lunch together, today," Blair pouted.

"My fault, Waldorf, I had to talk to Nathaniel about a few things," Chuck retorted smoothly. Blair's eyes widen for a fraction of a second before any could notice.

"What were you talking about?"

"Well, uh-uh," Nate stuttered. Blair stared at him expectantly, not even bothering to notice the table's other occupants.

"Chuck's latest dreadful Herpes outbreak," Mackenzie supplied winking at Chuck. Her English accent returned when she spoke. She turned to Jenny, "I need to go to the ladies room, and could you show me where it is?"

They picked up their belongings and rushed out of the courtyard. Jenny led her to the restroom and held the door open for her.

"Is it just me or does Blair Waldorf really hate me?" Mackenzie questioned. "Not to mention her posse, did you see those death stares? It was like they were staring at Hitler or something."

Jenny chuckled, "Trust me; I've gotten plenty of those looks. I wanted to be one of those girls…Anyways I think Blair just feels threatened by you."

"Threatened?"

"Seriously? Your first day at Constance isn't even finished and you've caught Chuck Bass's attention and her boyfriend's. Not to mention that you've already been on Gossip Girl," Jenny said incredulously. "I'm curious, is there something going on between you and Chuck?"

Mackenzie gasped, "No way, and there never will be. I know too many of his types. I just met him the other night, and that's pretty much it. His father and mine almost went into business a long time ago therefore I know quite a bit about them. And I do enjoy teasing him."

Jenny rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say. Are you really going to be spending your holidays in Monaco?"

"Unfortunately, my dad usually spend a few days together there before he has to go back to work, it's easier for him I guess," Mackenzie zipped up her make up bag. "Lunch is going to be ending soon and I have no clue where the library is."

"Okay."

"I know I've only known you for like a few hours, Jenny, but you seem really nice and I can tell that we are going to be great friends," Mackenzie smiled at her and gave her a half hug.

"I feel the same way," Jenny smiled and returned the hug.

Watch out Queen B. The new girl is making friends quick. You might want to sound the alarm…the castle is about to be raided.

I paced back and forth, watching the clock. Only a minute left and then I'd know. What would I do? I took slow, deep breaths and tried to distract myself by counting the tiles on the floor. I hugged my knees to my chest and rocked back in forth. I closed my eyes wishing that my mother was with me. She'd be disappointed but she'd hide it, and it wouldn't matter what happened because she would love me no matter what.

It was time. I stared at the stick. No one could mistake the positive sign. I was pregnant.

And there was no going back.

I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief
When the loneliness leads to bad dreams
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

Quick Author's Note: Thanks for all of you who are reading...I would thoroughly enjoy hearing what you think. A few days ago I decided that I wanted to do something different with the story. So basically there will be a Chuck/Mackenzie friendship if you want to call it that. The story will end B/C and I'm sure there will be more S/D in the future. The next chapter will probably be a little more along the lines of 'Roman Holiday' but with a focus on what's happening in Monaco. I'm going to try to incorporate everything that happened in 'Roman Holiday' in the next chapter. Leave reviews :)
