The weekend past quickly, with Monday morning already rolling by everyone was preparing for school, well except some of them of course.

Hey Blair did you hear what happened friday night? "one girl ask"

No Jenny actually I havent really heard anything, I have been so busy here lately with studying and everything. "even though Blair remembered what was going on for her on Friday night the night her father came home drunk"

Well I know you know Eric he basically hangs out with all of us, but anways he was suppose to meet up with some group of kids. Well they either dared him or made him jump from the water tower down at Oak Land Street into the water. And he ended up getting hurt really bad!

Oh my gosh I hope he is okay though, he is still alive isnt he? "she knew this eric boy pretty good, he was a couple years younger then her though but he often took part in a lot of the academic groups she was in."

Uh... yeah he is still alive but he's in a coma right now, I know he broke a few bones in the rib cage and is also in a back brase too, his mom told my dad that they aren't fully sure if he will ever even walk again. "the young blonde said while getting teary eyed"

Jenny listen I know you were closer to Eric then I was, but you need to stay positive. I tell you what why dont we go after school and get some awesome gifts for him to put up in his hospital room for when he wakes up! "even though jenny was only 14, she knew she had to be the stronger one right now because she knew how hard it can be to lose someone you care about and love"

Yeah that sounds great! "she wipes her tears falling from her eyes" Thanks Blair, see you after school then okay. "she then walks away"

Blair didnt understand why someone so young & nice as Eric would even want to hang out with those perticular type of kids, she was pretty sure what group Jenny

was referring too. They was a group of about 5 to 6 teenagers always causing trouble, the girls slept around with everyone & the boys was just as worse! The leader

Chuck Bass was the baddest of all of them. He was constantly getting into trouble & always seemed to get out of it too due to his daddy Bart Bass who paid off

everyone and everything when something happened. "Walking into her class she seen some of the group setting around the room and laughing, it made her mad to

see them all enjoying there selves when poor Eric was fighting to just stay alive!"

Mr. Bass, I hope you know that it has been brought to our understanding that you was one of them involved in the young man named Eric's accident or whatever actually happened to him that night at the water tower, which we still don't know because he is still in a coma, but believe this we will get down to the bottom of it. But until then you will be punished to what we see fit, we have already spoken with her father & he has agreed to our terms which means you will not get out of them. Is that clear! "the principle speaks in a stern voice"

Yes Mr. Goldman, I understand fully and completely! "he looks into the older mans face"

Good, now as for your punishment you will be donating 3 extra hours after school to do whatever is needed, be that cleaning, doing to up keep on the lacross field, rearranging the books to our new Library that was recently built on campus, helping with the drama/theatre group with stage props...

You cant be serious! "chuck interrupts" that much crap really?

Watch your tone young man, and yes I am being completely serious, you think that what you and whoever else was involved did wasnt a big deal, well it was! A young man almost lost his life due to the immature stupid act of all you involved. So yes I am serious! & don't disrupt me again... now as I was saying whatever comes to my attention that can use extra hands for helping. You will be there and do the work right & with a good attitude too, do I make myself clear?

Yes Sir! "while sighing contently" May I go to my classes now?

Yes you can,"he waves his hand to notion he can go" All and Mr. Bass your punishment starts today! So after class you are to come here so I can give you your first assignment.

Yes, Mr Goldman "chuck slowly makes his way out of his office & onto his classes"

Chuck couldnt believe this bullshit, it wasnt like he fucking pushed the kid to jump off that damn tower anyways, he did that all on his own! I mean he was grateful

that the kid was alive but was still scared that the young Eric kid was still in a coma. But still the punishment was bullshit!

Hey Jenny, listen I know I told you we would go and get Eric a gift and stuff but I have been informed that they need me to help with some school stuff this evening, see I sorta volunteered my time so I can get good recommendations and college credits for when I need them. But I really am sorry, but if you don't care if I give you the money will you pick up a cute card for Eric from me? "she really hated to bail on the girl but she had forgotten that her extra credit hours started this week & she really needed the recommendations from all her teachers"

Yeah...sure no problem dont even worry about it, I got this! & yeah a cute card I most certainly will! "she smiles at the brunette beside her"

Okay well here's the money, I guess I will see you tomorrow at school okay! "she then grins and makes her way to the newly constructed library"

Mr. Bass I see you followed through with what I told you, thank you for showing up.

Yes Mr. Goldman, I know this is a serious matter and I am here to help in whatever I need to do. "gosh he hated this crap but he misewell suck it up and do it anyways."

Yes well, you are to report to the new library, they have recently delivered all of the books from the old one but they all still need to be seperated and put into the correct places in the new one.

Okay, sure thing well I guess I will be heading there now then.

Mr. Bass after your 3 hours are up, you are to report to the alumni on duty and have them sign this slip, then you are to return it to the office in the morning do I make myself clear?

Yes Sir, "he then reaches and grabs the slip & takes off to the library"

Miss Waldorf, I am so happy for you to have joined us.

Aww... the pleasure is all mine, Mrs Jones "she then smiles at the older women"

Okay well I am going to seperate this group of six into partners. "the teacher then looks around the room to see the students before her" Okay Mr. Humphrey & Miss. Abrams you two are together. "she then proceeded to call the rest of them till finally she ended with" And Miss Waldorf & Mr. Bass okay I think that's good for now. Please each group pick a section together and start rearranging the books from alphabetical order in each section. "she then turned and left the library"

Okay Waldorf which section do you suppose we take? "he looks at the small brunette next to him" All I know how about we do the Science Section, I have always had a fascination with Human Anatomy! "he then begins to look her body up and down"

So Science is what your into huh?... well I was leaning more towards Physiology "she then begins to grin at him" that way then we can figure out why your such an asshole all the time!

Or we could always use that to see why your such a Bitch then! "he then smirks back" besides I know who I am! I'm Chuck Bass & soon sweetly you wont be able to resist me!

Please give me a break! Nobody cares that your Chuck Bass or at least I dont! "she then looks him straight into the eyes"

Give it a break princess, besides we need to get started, wouldnt want the perfect waldorf to get her life tarnished for not doing what she's suppose to do now would we."he then begins to walk to the science section, which happens to be the at the very end almost"

Whatever Bass, lets just get this done. "she then begins to follow him"

A hour had already passed, & they were still trying to get the books seperated. Blair still couldnt believe of all people she had to be paired with it had to be Chuck

Bass. She still remembered him from the first time she came to the school at only 13 she had to switch to an all new school with new kids and everything & leave her

old friends and life behind. But still the 13 year old Chuck Bass was still just as mean then as he is now! She remembered one of the dances they held and while

going outside to get some fresh air she seen him with another girl around their age they were both kissing and touching each other everywhere, at the time she

couldn't believe it because she didn't even think of letting a boy touch here like that but evidently not all kids thought like she did. Chuck soon developed quit the

reputation with the Ladies and it only followed him as he got older, she never really hung out with him or anyone from his group but had a few classes with him. Even

though he always had the reputation, she couldn't help to think he was good looking, he always had a nicely chiseled jaw line even when they were younger its just

more defined now & his hair was super dark jet black even. His eyes were this beautiful almond shape & hazel were the color. He always dressed the best no matter if

it were to school which did impress her but still his looks couldn't over shadow his self righteous low down attitude.

~*xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox*~

Out of all the people to be paired with, it had to be little miss pefect Blair Waldorf. He still remembered the first time he saw her, they were only in 7th grade when

she came to their school. She was a lot smaller then most of the girls in their class if not the tiniest she was short & had really long curly brown hair & had glasses

not to mention braces. He always found it funny because all the other girls in their class would always straighten their hair & the ones that had to wear glasses always

choose contacts instead but not Blair. She was beyond awkward to say the least him and his friends often joked about her she was the picture of the over achieving

goody to shoo brain girl of the class. It wasn't like he actually got to know her or anything but clearly from how she acted to what she wore automatically knocked her

out of the popular category. But now looking at her she has most certain grew out of that stage, her hair is still long and curly but it holds a certain shine to it & her

lips are super full and pouty looking. She has some of the most straight and whitest teeth ever & biggest brown eyes he's ever seen. Although she is still super short

and tiny she has certainly grown into her looks more!

So Waldorf this time doesnt seem to be passing by quick at all, what do you suggest we do during it. I mean I do have some suggestions but I dont think your prudish ass will be quit up for it.

I dont know Bass how about lets work on that crappy attitude of yours, then go from there!

Haha... your so funny Waldorf but I must admit its nice to see you have filled out over all these years. "he then begins to scan her body up and down with his eyes"

Cut the crap Bass, and the small talk theres a reason why girls like me dont associate with boys like you!

All really well please do tell me why? "he then smirks at her"

Well for one, you are an inconsiterate asshole! not to mention a womanizing whore! you dont care about anyone but your own selfish self & personally your supposedly charm that you use on everyone else has no effect on me Bass. Honestly I think your quit pathetic! "she is then up close at his face or the closest she has ever been to him"

Well that is quit the therory now isnt it. Now please let me elaberate why boys like me would never go after girls like you! " he then stepped a bit closer to her" number one you are a judgmental bitch! who thinks she knows everything when really you don't know shit! two do you want to know why nobody likes you well its pretty obvious nobody can stand to be around the little miss perfect Blair Waldorf because well she is to busy being judgmental instead of actually getting to know these people. And three you think you have everyone fuelled around here trying to be the perfect little student all the time when really I know you just wanna let go of everything that makes you, you just so you can live a little I mean aren't your tired of your life always being so repetitive all the time? I am sure Mommy and Daddy wont get mad is you let yourself go just a little but then again you never know if your mom is half the bitch that you are! "he then looks her stern in the eyes"

Wow that was good... even for you Bass "she begins to clap her hands slightly while grinning" You know so much about me dont you? but please let me help you along. I know I'm a bitch but personally I have every right to be! because of people like you! You and your friends are nothing but scum! You parade yourself around school like your all high and mighty, when in reality your all are a pathetic waste of space, you go above and beyond to make people like me, life's miserable between the constant backlash and laughing and joke making about the people like me! The people like me who actually take academic seriously in hopes to have a bigger brighter future then any of you all could possibly dream of & as for me being preserved and not wanting to break loose there's a reason that I am, so the accident that took place on Friday night to that young boy Eric doesn't happen! Not everything is a big joke Chuck, things can get out of hand and people can get hurt just remember that! And as for me being concerned about my parents your wrong on that! I do everything that I do for me and nobody else! And as for my mother she was one of the nicest women I ever knew, she may be dead now but I could only hope to one day be as wonderful as she always was! " she then looks down trying to keep it together she was not going to cry in front of this asshole"

Blair...Blair would you look at me please? "he then tries to lift her face up to his he seriously felt like such an ass right now making that comment about her mother was out of line, he didn't even know that her mom was dead. I guess they had something in common then"

What do you want Bass? "she then stares up into his eyes not even noticing that his hands are still on her face"

Blair listen, I'm sorry okay..." he then strokes her face softly, he's never felt such soft and delicate skin like this in his whole life"

Save it Bass, I dont need your pity!

Its not pity, its just.. "he then collects himself becasue even he hated to talk about the death of this mother" Its just I know what it feels like to grow up without a mother. "he then sighs and puts his head down" My mom died too I was about to turn 10 when it happened.

Chuck... "she then rose his head back up with her small hand" Listen I'm sorry, I'm sorry about your mom I know how it feels to not have a parent around & I am sorry for being so judgmental okay, how about we just start over "she then smiles at him" it can be sorta like getting to know each other for the first time.

Hmm... getting to know each other for the first time huh? "he then smirks at her" does that mean that you technically dont know about my bad boy persona?"

Well I dont mean lie and change who are you, but more or less just getting to know the Chuck Bass that I clearly have no clue anything about other then what I think I know. "she then turns around to start putting the books back up, but stops just then and reconnects her eyes with his" But that goes both ways you know, no more judging me for the overachieving brain that you think I am. And besides I know how to have fun! It might not be your type of fun but I can be quit funny! "she then begins laughing"

Alright Waldorf you got yourself a deal, we gotta work together we misewell get to know one another or at least tolerate each other. "he began laughing too, even though he couldn't get her laugh out of his head it was too cute and sweet sounding" And there is no doubt in my head that couldn't be the life of the party! "he then smirks and raises his eyebrows up and down"

Chuck Bass, I guess some things never change huh? "she then begins to hand him a few books that go to the higher shelves because clearly she couldnt reach then"

Oh, I find you will get to know me quit well Waldorf, maybe then you can decide if you hate just as much when this is over with! "he then grab the books and proceeded to put them away"

The last 2hrs seemed to fly by quickly, the both of them got in the groove Blair would focus on the lower shelves while Chuck took care of the upper ones. They

talked quit a bit about there interest in music & what occupations their father did, What they wanted to do during that summer & after they graduated. Chuck found

that she was one of the easiest people to talk to. But he still stayed somewhat guarded with everything he shared about himself. Blair couldn't believe how easily

their conversation seemed to flow after the blow up they had, she found that maybe just maybe there was more to Chuck Bass then she actually knew. They talked

about a little bit of everything, but she still kept a lot of important fact about her life behind closed doors to him mostly the particular part about her drunk aggressive

father.
