Author's Note. I finished my other story, and have finally decided to pick up where I left off with this. Hope you read and review. I appreciate all the advice I can get.
"Good morning class. I'd like to introduce you to your newest classmate. She just transferred here from Pairs, France. Please make her feel welcomed" The teacher explained as two have done before her, and others will do again throughout the day.
Blair didn't mind. She loved the attention, and everyone always seemed ecstatic about talking to her, as if she's foreign, despite the fact she had actually known a lot of her classmates from primary school, and the festivities she would attend over the summer. Regardless, being worshipped suited her, especially as she was friends with the girl who is easily the most beautiful in the school. Although it brought her down a little, she didn't mind it because she's heard the rumours already. Serena was thought of as a slut, which is something Blair would never let anyone think of her as. She was going to be an icon, like any other, and the Audrey of her generation easily.
"Wow, so you speak fluent French" Isabella Coates asked, knowing full well who Blair Waldorf is, but always thought she just didn't go to the same school. She actually believed she was one of the sluts of that French school the guys of St. Judes went to flirt with to get in easy. At least that was the chitchat that went around. "You think you're going to take French AP then?"
"I'm already taking all AP classes, including French" She proudly stated before glancing over to see Nate and Chuck make their way to the table they sat on in the courtyard during their morning break.
"Hello ladies" Chuck smiled. The girls, with the exception of Blair and Serena, swooned before composing themselves to watch the scene about to happen intently between the two boys that have arrived to stand by the newly most desired girl, and the ever standing it girl of the city.
"Nate" Blair stood up and leaned to give Nate a kiss on the cheek. He smelled of pot, but it surprisingly suited him amid his own natural scent. She acted oblivious to the many people staring, but the feeling that over half the girls watching were insanely jealous did help make her smile.
"Hey Blair, Serena" He smiled "You guys having a good first day?"
"Hardly, school's so boring" Serena whined. The girls did bombard her over questions on gossip about Georgina. Some were actually funny enough to go with. Georgie wouldn't mind if the school thought she was pregnant with Jon Bon Jovi's kid.
"Well we could fix that" Chuck put an arm around Blair "What do you say Waldorf?"
She picked up his arm and dropped it off her. "As if Bass. We'll see you around Nate" Blair waved bye, knowing that only five minutes were left for break and she needed to get her books from her locker. She took Serena's hand and dragged her with her to escape the courtyard before Chuck decided to get more playful in his intoxicated state.
"Actually, Serena..." Nate called to stop the two "Can we... can I see you, at Lunch?"
"Sure" Serena shrugged. Blair looked between the two blondes before storming back to the building. Serena followed her. They walked in silence until Blair reached her locker, got her books out and turned to face Serena.
"I like Nate" she said it rather authoritatively. "You know that" It wasn't a question but Serena nodded. She'd noticed Blair and Nate's kiss, how she's been all over him, and pretty much figured the two were together already. "Good" Blair let out a breath and smiled at Serena. "I'm going to be late, see you at lunch"
Welcome Back to school Upper East Siders. It looks like our foreign princess has found her crowd, and her prince, with pictures to boot. But if B and N are a could be, why is he asking for S's company?
Our dream boy did always seem to have a thing for S, and with G out of the picture he may just man up. But what will happen of our new princess. Already old news to your prince B?
But no worries. We know one Bass who'd like to keep your bed warm ;)
You know you love me,

"This is the best plan ever" Chuck gloated as they made their way to class. "You break her heart. I collect the pieces enough for a one nighter, and you get your girl" Chuck's added laugh sounded just as evil as his idea.
"I feel bad for Blair" Nate admitted, but despite the guilt, that was quick to fade in his high state, he did want Serena in bed, or at least to hold like he did Blair. Blair had soft skin, maybe softer than Serena. Serena does look pretty though, and has more experience. She probably knows how to give good-
Chuck patted Nate's shoulder, bringing him back to reality "Just smoke up enough before you talk to Serena" Chuck smirked at the ideas now coming to his own mind about landing Blair "You'll need all the courage you can get"
Lunch was the anticipated moment of the day, as everyone lingered in hopes to catch the drama break out. Nate and Chuck arrived early, followed by a few other St. Judes students to watch the moment Archibald has probably been dreaming about all his life.
"Hey" Serena greeted, feeling overly awkward by having everyone stare at the four now standing together in the middle of the courtyard, alone.
"Waldorf, always such a pleasure" Chuck smiled at Blair who rolled her eyes and looked over to Nate who was dreamily watching the two girls. Blair was seriously hard to reject. She was gorgeous, smart, and sexy beyond belief. But his dad told him not to go there. Chuck wanted her. His dad also said to not let Chuck have her. But what he doesn't know won't hurt him.
"Nate? Hello?" Serena waved a hand in front of Nate who finally snapped out of his train of though. He never was able to do a lot when he was high, and his mind did become one tracked.
"Yeah. Listen, you wanna go out Friday night?" He blurted out and stood there in what seemed like forever. He didn't even realize he said it, but he did, and it felt wrong. "You know the four of us" he added desperately
Chuck rolled his eyes at that. Pathetic. He shouldn't have expected more. The guy knew he was hot, knew he could get any girl he wanted, but when it came to Serena he always manages to Fuck up.
"I guess" Serena attempted to think up of reasons not to, but seeing as Georgina wasn't available, some camaraderie would be nice, that aren't wanna-bes or just suck ups.
"Please" Nate noticed the hesitation and glanced between the two girls.
Blair blushed. He wanted her to go too. Maybe it wasn't about Serena. Maybe he was just using this group as an excuse to take her someplace nice, asking her out indirectly, before they officially started dating. But then there's Chuck.
"Come on Waldorf. Afraid Mommy would say no to a night out with the big boys?" Chuck practically dared her. And who's Blair to turn down the challenge.
"We'll see you there" Blair smiled, turning back to the girls. "We're going to head to the Met steps to have lunch. See you Friday?" Blair looked up at Nate, who smiled at her beautiful dimpled smile and nodded.
"See you" He leaned down and kissed one of her dimpled cheeks before turning to attempt the same with Serena. But the blonde walked away and Nate shrugged. One of the two is plenty. Besides, Blair is becoming more and more appealing the more he looked at her. He spent years staring at Serena from all angles; maybe he should take a little time watching Blair.
Dad and Chuck who?
"Waldorf" Chuck called to Blair to stop her walking down the hall. A few days have passed from when they spoke last, and they haven't seen much of each other either. Not that Blair intended to see him daily, or ever really.
"What is it Chuck?" pacing herself as she was on her way to one of the many clubs she had joined, keeping her weeks as crammed as it could possibly be.
"Just checking up on you princess" He smiled at her aggravated state, and leaned against the wall they stood by, occupying himself by counting the lockers lined up on the other wall. "How are you handling the realm?" He refrained from eye contact and spoke dully.
"Everything's been running smoothly. I'll be queen in no time" She smirked at the idea, but frowned at how little attention he was giving her, considering he stopped her from going to a rather important club meeting.
"You even have a King to boast" He now looked at her, studying the barely formed smirk on her face at the thought of her with Nate. "However" The smirk was replaced with an evident frown "there is the small issue that is Serena" he busied himself once again by drawing lines on the wall he leant against with his finger.
"Serena's not a problem. Nate likes me" she reminded the man again, as she had told him before and will remain doing so to prove a rather important point. That she was always right.
"Care to place a wager on that?" She quirked an eyebrow questioningly to him and it was his turn to show off his devilish smirk. "You land Nate before Serena does, and I'll make sure she's never an issue in your relationship" He couldn't help it, he was actually feeling gleeful.
"Let me guess" She rolled her eyes, the ideas of what he wanted in return already apparent, but she didn't need to say it.
"You don't have to" He continued "Nate gets Serena, then you're all mine" Chuck held her chin, but she moved her head out of his grasp.
"You're repulsive" Her face scrunched into a disgusted demeanour.
"Yet if you're so certain, you have nothing to lose" He reminded her
"Nate wants me" She said assuredly, despite her wandering eyes. She thought of her flaws in that second, the many she had, the many that Nate would detest, but she could hide them. Well, not all of them, but she could lose the weight, she could work on her figure, and in no time she can even be prettier than Serena... Maybe
"Then I'll see you Friday night" He leaned in to place a check to cheek kiss, but kept his mouth by her ear "on his arm, or in my bed" He pulled back before she had the chance to shove him away and winked at her before leaving. "Wouldn't want to keep you from your after school activities" he waved at her before turning around and leaving the empty hall after hours, with her, standing, alone, and rather dumbfounded.
