Blair woke up to the feeling of Chuck's lips on her own."Good Morning!"cooed Blair.
"It is a good morning, but I have a few ideas on how we could make it better."
"As much fun as I'm sure that would be, we have school, and I have a reputation to uphold. I need to get to school early, and I should arrive alone."
"What? Are you seriously ashamed of being seen with me? Because, last night you seemed pretty satisfied."
"Chuck, it's too soon, what would Nate think?"
"Waldorf, why does it matter? You're my girlfriend, and I was under the impression that couples wanted to spend time with eachother."
"And we do. I'm just not ready to go public."
"Fine. Whatever. Do what you want." Chuck got up, grabbed his clothes, went into the bathroom, and slammed the door. Blair let out a frustrated sigh. Why couldn't he understand? She needed to portray a certain image, at least until she was popular again; and dating the womanizer of the UES was not the type of popularity she wanted. Some sacrifices would have to be made for her to regain her position. She would make Chuck understand later today. Blair left the Palace, and returned to her own penthouse to get ready.
When Blair arrived at school, she was surprised to see that Chuck was already there and talking to Hazel, the new queen (for the time being). Blair was furious. Just because they had gotten into a fight, did not mean the Chuck could go flirt with Blair's replacement. Blair marched up to Chuck, and demanded that he speak with her privately, pulling him by his scarf.
"Easy, Waldorf, I just got this."
"Well seeing as I was the one that gave it to you, I know that it's new. What the hell is your problem?"
"What's my problem? You grabbed me. Oh, I get it you needed to see me privately so that I could satisfy you. Sorry, I'm not in the mood right now."
"NO! I do not want you or your body, but I would like to know why my boyfriend was talking to my arch-enemy."
"Believe it or not, I was trying to help you."
"Really, and how does seducing Hazel help me?"
"Well, first of all: I have my own reputation to uphold, no one knows that we are dating. Secondly, she gave me quite a lot of information on Jenny, including some photos that she is using to ensure that Jenny doesn't steal her crown. But since you don't believe me or want to associate with me in public, take this, I'll see you later." Chuck handed Blair Hazel's phone and walked into St. Jude's. Hazel's phones contained pictures of Jenny picking her nose, and a wedgie, and pole dancing in her underwear. Blair sent these photos to Gossip Girl via Hazel's phone. Jenny Hazel were spotted arguing a few minutes later, and Jenny was an outcast by lunch. Blair should have been euphoric, but instead she was upset over her accusations towards Chuck. She needed to do something to prove that she really did want to be with him. Blair took a deep breath and realized what she had to do. She sent Gossip Girl a message detailing her relationship with Chuck, including pictures. Less than five minutes later, everyone was staring at Blair. Chuck found Blair through the crowd, his eyes showed his confusion. Blair just smiled, and kissed him in front of everyone to the sound of camera-phones flashing pictures.
