Chapter Two: The Freshman

Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl nor do I own the rights to Greek. I am just a dreamer, who wishes that Chair and Cappie/Casey would happily get together.

This soundtrack for this chapter is the song, "The Freshman" by Verve Pipe.

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

I can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

Blair watched Evan's back as the departed from the store and wondered what kind of night she had in store for her. She had known Evan since she was a young girl, who pranced around her suite in Victorian inspired dresses and forced unsuspecting visitors to participate in authentic English teas. Thankfully for her guests, Dorota, her faithful servant prepared both the tea and finger sandwiches. Nate would see her tea parties as the perfect opportunity to eat delicious cakes. Chuck would occasionally drop sugar cubes on the floor, all the while using his newfound clumsiness as an excuse to look up Blair's dress. Evan, on the other hand, would just gaze longingly at her. He was always the best of both worlds; he was a combination of Nate's strong, athleticism along with Chuck's raw sexuality. Just as she was about to submerge herself in fantasies of seduction at Evan's hands, her Blackberry let out a little chime. It was a text message from Gossip Girl.

It read, Spotted: Former Constance Queen B. getting cozy with former Upper East Sider, Evan Chambers. Oh no, C., it looks like B. may have finally moved on. Too bad. Word has it that Mr. Chambers may have a sorority girlfriend waiting back in N.C. You may have everything C., but B. may be going for good.

"God dammit!", exclaimed Blair. "Doesn't that little bitch have anything better to do than follow what my friends and I are doing, especially since high school is officially over"?

The last day of classes had been a blur for Blair. She and Serena had partied late into the night, along with Dan and Nate. She and Chuck had basically given up on attempting to salvage what was left of their friendship. She had not invited him to her end of the year bash; he did not try to crash the party, either. Her last rejection of him, when she threw his bouquet at him, seemed to have been the last straw for them both. They barely acknowledged one another and only spent time together in group settings.

While she was remorseful that things had ended that way, Chuck seemed to have taken on a whole new personality. Under the guidance of his step mother, he discontinued his hard partying. Rather dousing his life in long nights of scotch and call girls, he focused on obtaining the skills necessary to run his company. Lily helped him pull a few strings and he was able to obtain early entrance into the Columbia Business School. He arrived to all his classes on time and carried with him an air of responsibility. Yet, Blair knew deep inside that they were probably not meant to be together.

Evan was ecstatic; maybe the upcoming semester would be better than he had predicted. The last day of the spring semester ended with more drama than was truly necessary. His ex-girlfriend, Casey Cartwright, and his current girlfriend had been embroiled in a year long war. Casey and Fannie were sisters in the sorority, Zeta Beta Zeta. Prior to last year, the two girls got along really well and were in fact, big sisters within the organization. However, their fighting led to such bitter resentment that their fellow sisters decided not to elect either one of them as President of the sorority. Since both girls would be seniors in the upcoming year, this was a huge blow. To add insult to injury, Casey's best friend, was instead appointed to the prestigious position. By the night of inductions, Frannie decided that she would take the new members of the sorority with her to colonize a new organization.

For Evan, it was way more than he had signed on for. He enjoyed Frannie's company, but what she was attempting to do was more than likely in violation of the Greek Council, as well as Nationals. She really needed someone to bring her down a few pegs. Maybe then, she would return to being the fun loving girl she once was. Evan thought Blair Waldorf could be the girl to dethrone not only Frannie, but also Rebecca Logan. Rebecca Logan, was a former Senator's daughter, who had been a problem on campus since day one. If it weren't for Rebecca, he would probably still be dating Casey. Perhaps, having dinner with Waldorf was doing to be much more pleasant than he ever could have imagined.

Meanwhile, Chuck had returned from Henri Bendel's to his office at Bass Industries. His Gossip Girl subscription and the latest notification regarding Blair and Evan Chambers served as a reminder as to what needed to be done. He picked up his phone and dialed the private investigator he had kept on retainer since he was a fifteen. One never knew when they needed to dig up damning evidence. Jacob was reliable and would begin an investigation, even if it meant leaving his apartment at four in the morning. Such devotion was hard to find in employees.

"Jacob, I need you to investigate the relationships of Evan Chambers. Find out who his girlfriend is, who any exes may be, if there were any indiscretions in his past. Get anything that can ruin him and you will receive large compensation for your work. ", stated Chuck in a very authoritative tone.
