Chapter 2 – The First Sight
Breakfast with Serena and my, er, our mom was awkward, but I survived it, thank God. My mother insisted that we take a cab for school, but I shot down her offer and I said instead that I was gonna drive my red, Ford convertible. I was expecting a no from her, but she accepted and actually agreed that it's a great idea.
I finally made it to our school, Park Avenue High, and I just pulled in to my usual parking slot when I turned and locked my gaze on hers.
"What?" She asks me. "You know, you've barely said anything to me on the way here. Is anything else wrong, besides what happened this morning?" I asked in return. I was worried for her.
"No, there's nothing else going on. Let's just go." Serena pauses and looks away. "We already missed homeroom and we only have a few minutes to make it to first period." She continues, unbuckling her seatbelt, grabbing her things in the backseat, and hustles out the door.
I huffed in slight annoyance, grabbing my stuff, and I got out of the car as fast as I could. I scurried up the steps, in through the double doors, following Serena down the hall, cursing myself (repeating shit and fuck over and over again) and everything in between that's happened this morning for making us late.
Before I could even take note of what's happening around me, I ran right into something. No, someone. "Oops, sorry." I muttered, steadying myself to rush past this person again, but whoever it was, whoever he was, gripped into my wrists, tightly. I tightened my jaw, and looked up to meet intense brown eyes. I almost gasped but I held it in. He's so good-looking, and he has this bad-boy façade going on about him. "Might want to watch where you're going, sweetheart." The young teenage guy in front of me said harshly. I blushed from embarrassment and pulled off his hold on my wrists, making him raise his hands in mock surrender, making me feel annoyed more than ever. He then laughed at me, before saying, "See you around, girlfriend." "Oh I wouldn't dream of it," I replied and stormed off, hurrying quickly to my first period, which was Earth Science and sat down on my seat beside Serena, ducking my head.
"Where were you?" Serena whispered and I gave her a look that says, "I'll explain later." She just nodded and started taking down notes.
I still felt tingles on my wrist, from his touch. Hmmm, that's weird.

After third period American History, Serena and I made our way to the lunchroom. "How boring was that lesson on Earth Science first period? I mean, who gives a damn about topography anyway?" Serena starts and I shrugged my shoulders. In truth, I was actually already feeling bored from this school day and it's only a Monday for crying out loud. We settled into our seats in the back of the cafeteria, and spotted our other best friend, and Serena's boyfriend, Nate Archibald making his way over to us and his green eyes were excited. "What is it, Nate?" I groaned and chewed on a french fry from Serena's tray. Serena gave him a kiss on the lips and said, "This better be exciting, what you're about to tell us." She took a bite of her tuna sandwich and looked at Nate expectantly.
"Party, tonight at Chuck's. We were invited!" Nate said, already excited about the upcoming party, talking about this Chuck person like he's his long-lost bro, BFF, or something. I rolled my eyes, and he didn't seem to notice. Nate took a seat beside Serena and put his arm around her. He then took a sip from his VitaminWater bottle and stretched his arms, flexing his muscles in the process. What a show-off.
"Parties aren't really my thing. You guys both know that. But you and Serena can go if you'd like." I said, easily rejecting Nate's offer. In truth, I'd rather just stay home and study. Excuse me for being a nerd, but I'm just not a party girl like Serena is. That's just not who I really am. "And who the hell is this Chuck guy?" I added, sounding like a bitch again.
"Fuck if I know," Nate responded, sounding grumpy. I rolled my eyes again and observed Serena for a while. She already has this glint in her eye, which always happens when she's excited about something. Oh God, knowing these two? They certainly wouldn't take no for an answer.
"So you're coming, right sis?" Serena asked me and I politely declined. She tried again. "Come on! I haven't been to parties since my parents died." She whispered and tears formed in her eyes. What Serena's talking about is that her parents died when she was only 9 years old. They died in a tragic car crash and long story short, my mother adopted her and treated her like she was very much a part of the Waldorf family, which she is. I've always wanted a sister and that came true when my mother told me that Serena's coming to stay with us permanently, she's going to be my sister from now on and I couldn't be happier.
"Serena," I cooed to her in my faux sweet voice and blushed, facepalmed myself, hating that I instantly blush for anything. She locked her green eyes on mine, and I sighed, already knowing that I lost another battle. Nate wiped Serena's tears away with his pointer finger, and both were waiting on what I'm going to say.
"Fine. Fine. You guys win. Happy now?" I let out a groan before continuing, "We'll go. But, only for you, Serena. Only for you. I'm not doing this for you, Nate. I'm only doing this for my sister." I declared and they tackle-hugged me. "God, I hate you both." I groaned and huffed in annoyance. Nate smirked and Serena giggled at me and both blondes said in unison, "You know you love us." I scowled.
When they pulled away, I stuck my tongue out at both of them and their grins grew even wider. I sighed again, defeated. I hate losing more than anything and this was no exception whatsoever.
I guess I, Blair Waldorf, really was going to a party tonight. But all I could think of was those two intense, brown eyes.
