Blair sat in her room staring in to space. She had images of Dan and Serena rolling around his bed and she hated it. She wanted to ring Serena up with some crazy emergency but she knew that Serena would never forgive her for ruining something as important as a study date with Dan Humphrey. The images of the two of them rolling around together were still printed vividly in her mind when Chuck Bass walked in through the elevator doors. She soon forgot about Serena and Dan as she had a bone to pick with Chuck.

"Thanks for coming here Chuck." Blair smiled sweetly at him.

"What's this about Waldorf? I'm a busy guy you know?"

Blair smirked. "Yes I'm well aware of just how busy you've been Chuck." She picked up her phone and threw at him. "Care to explain this?"

Chuck stared at it in disbelief. "Where did you get this?"

"You've really got to be more careful Chuck, anyone could have seen that. Just be grateful that it was be and not Headmistress."

Chuck stayed silent although his eyes were saying everything. Blair could tell he was already devising a plan. Eventually he asked, "Has Serena seen this?"

"No. I was going to question her about it later today but she went off with Humphrey to "study"."

Chuck's eyes that were looking at Blair's phone shot up suddenly at her last statement. "What? Serena doesn't study, everyone knows that."

Blair gave him a knowing look and tried, unsuccessfully, to hide the hurt and disappointment in her face.

Chuck looked at her with the same face and the two of them just stared at each other until the realisation of how the other felt kicked in.

"Wait, you … really?!" they both said to each other simultaneously.

"Okay, Bass, spill!" Blair demanded.

"I'm not saying anything. Humphrey, Blair? Really? Honestly I expected higher from you. Serena's always had that rebellious side to her, but you, no I never would have expected you to be the same."

"Shut up Chuck, he's not that bad."

"I don't know what to say anymore. You've disappointed me Waldorf."

Blair rolled her eyes. "I really thought Serena really hit a low when she was hitting it off with that druggy last year but now I've seen this - " She pointed to her phone. "Now she really has hit a big low. In the middle of the school hall, Chuck? I mean I suppose it could have been a lot worse, I mean you could have fucked her in the cafeteria, at least people don't eat up against their lockers."

"Let me stop you right there. I didn't fuck her then, okay? What you saw was all it was all right? Nothing more, nothing less."

"Right, ok." She said with a slight sarcastic tone.

Chuck looked down at Blair's phone. "What are you planning on doing with this?"

"Well show it to Serena to knock some sense in to her, then, I dunno, keep it, delete it, I haven't quite decided."

"Do you reckon Humphrey likes our blonde bombshell?"

Blair looked at Chuck suspiciously. "Well duh. I'm pretty sure the whole male population has or does like her. Why do you ask?"

Chuck had got his phone out and was sending the picture from Blair's phone to his. "No reason." Was all he said before looking up at Blair. "Do you actually like him?"

Blair looked away embarrassed. "Thought as much. I understand why you'd be embarrassed but by tonight, there will be no Dan and Serena." Chuck pressed some buttons on Blair's phone and deleted the picture. "Just making sure you don't show this to Serena. No one else sees this, you understand?"

Blair just nodded. She didn't want to fight this with Chuck but she did want to know what he had planned. Before she could ask him, he had turned away and walked out and in to the elevator doors. Blair slumped back on her bed. That conversation with Chuck couldn't have gone more wrong. Whilst she wanted to have one over Chuck, it completely turned the other way. Now Chuck knew she secretly like Dan, she worried about whether it would remain a secret. She hated this not knowing and whilst she and Chuck were two of a kind when it came to plotting against someone, she wouldn't put it past him to out her.

Dan and Serena were lying on the floor on top of the papers for algebra, giggling like little schoolgirls. They were lying there looking at each other when Serena decided to make a move and close in on Dan. Their lips touched and they were tenderly kissing when Serena tried to make it more passionate. That's when Dan stopped her. "Serena I can't do this, it's not right."

"Why not? You're single, I'm single, there's nothing stopping us."

"Yes there is. I like someone else. I like Blair." Dan told her, getting and leaving her.

Blair sighed. She could only hope that's what happened but she knew the likelihood was nil.
