Chapter 3
The first day of school, their sophomore year was the first day Blair and Chuck were going to debut as an official couple...or at least that was what Chuck had wanted. Blair was still a bit nervous about having Chuck Bass as her boyfriend officially, since he didn't quite fit into the mental mold she always imagined her boyfriends to be, mainly because he was Chuck Bass. A bit nervous about what Nate would say when he'd see her walk into school with Chuck, Blair tried to mentally reassure herself that all would go well between them. It'd have to, if she had to make it happen herself.
That morning, Blair woke up at her usual time and began to pick out exactly which uniform she wanted to wear that day. She had chosen the navy pleated skirt, white blouse, navy jacket, and a string of pearls to wear that day, when she suddenly received a call from Chuck, which she answered.
"Hello, Chuck." she asked.
"Good morning beautiful. Did you receive your gift I sent you?" he asked slyly.
"Gift? I didn't receive any gift? Unless your phone call is a gift to me..." she sweetly replied.
"Hmm...if that's all it takes, you'll be an easy girlfriend to satisfy." he replied, bemused
"Bass...you know me better than that!" she chided.
"Ha indeed I do. My gift to you should be arriving any minute. So do you want a ride to school or..." he replied.
"I think I'll meet you at school, then we can walk in together, if you don't mind." she suggested.
"So you're meeting Serena and your entourage on the steps at the Met? I should have guessed." he mused.
"You know me, Chuck, I always have to create a lasting impression on the first day so that all of the underclassmen know who's boss. You know exactly what I mean." she replied.
"Ha ha...indeed I do. Enjoy your gifts and wear them today because when I bought them I thought especially of you. Until later..." Chuck said, in his seductive voice that he liked to us with her.
"Goodbye, Chuck." she replied, wondering what it could be. Blair didn't have to wait long because there was soon a knock on her bedroom door and her housekeeper, Dorota was standing at the door holding a package. Blair took the package and dismissed Dorota, shutting the door behind her, as she went back into her room and sat on her bed to open the package. Expecting jewelry or something expensive, Blair was surprised when the items she withdrew from the bag was a pair of thigh high argyle knit stockings. The stockings were of a knit that was thicker than nylon or silk stockings, but thinner than most of the pairs of colorful socks that she still owned a few pairs of. The stockings were in various shades of purple, gray, black, and white and had deep purple ribbons around the top cuff that would sit right along her thighs once she wore them. They were a little garish, but were still sort of cool and looked like definitely something Chuck would buy for her. She put them on and thought they looked pretty good, although they made her more self conscious of her thighs, especially since the ribbons came just above the hem of her skirt and were only hidden if she tied them in bows. Still the ribbon bows made her feel sexy in a hidden sort of way.
Blair then finished dressing and went on her way to school, taking a taxi to the Met where she planned to meet Serena and a few of the girls from their school who always looked up to them when it came to style and sophistication. This was their sophomore year which meant that they were no longer on the bottom rung of the totem pole, and no longer would they have to measure up to Andrea Spencer and Jean Kerr, the resident mean girls who'd tortured them their freshman year, or at least they had Blair, but were now recent Constance Billiard alumni, Class of 2006. Currently, Andrea was a freshman at Sarah Lawrence and Jean was a freshman at Brynn Mawr, both Class of 2010. Blair was just glad that she wouldn't have those two girls to contend this year, and that it could be just she and S over everyone else, at least in her mind.
As she waited there, Blair suddenly saw Serena sitting on the steps surrounded by some of the girls who had looked up to them in previous years, Kati, Is, and Suki. Those girls were sharing their adventures over the summer, vacationing in the Hamptons or Europe or Asia or South America or wherever their families sent them for a few weeks. Serena was telling them about her summer in Santa Barbara, California when Blair approached, with a quick comment.
"Hi S, long time no see. It looks like you finally found your way back from sunny California." she sarcastically quipped.
"Hi B, so what did you do all summer, tutor a certain boy? Or did you actually go to the beach and have some fun?" Serena asked.
"I kept up with my studies...by tutoring a certain boy, and yes he brought me under his tutelage as well, but that should be of no concern to you. Anyway, I did go to the Hamptons with my parents, thank you very much, and it was quite enjoyable." she haughtily replied.
"I would imagine it was. Anyway, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz were fabulous as always. Great weather, surfing, hot guys, what more can you ask? I even had a visitor come to see me while I was out there. A natural athlete and long time friend, who seemed to enjoy California just as much as I did. He especially enjoyed it when we went sailing on my cousin's friend's catamaran along the shore." Serena gloated as she seemingly goaded Blair a little bit.
"A catamaran? Not bad. Although getting a ride along part of the coast in a boy's father's corporate helicopter can be fun too...especially if you..." Blair started, but then paused.
"Especially if you what? Blair did you join the mile high club and lose you V card with a certain boy?" Kati asked.
"Well if I didn't or if I did, it's for me to know..." she haughtily began.
"...And for Gossip Girl to find out!" Is and Suki delightfully replied as they began to text Gossip Girl, but Blair grabbed their phones and said "...Enough of that! Let's go on to school, we wouldn't want to be late on our first day." as she tried to distract them and they walked the rest of the way to school.
When they got to school, Blair started walking through the entrance gate with the other girls. As they went off to greet other friends and acquaintances, Blair suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see Chuck staring at her with his usual seductive smirk.
"Hello...you look ravishing today..." he slyly said as he ran a hand long her back.
"And you want to ravish me, I'm sure..." she replied with the seductive sarcasm she knew he loved.
"Oh but of course...and I will...later...mmm... And I see you're wearing my gift..." he coyly replied as he subtly touched her.
"Yes...although they're a little colorful for my tastes...and make my thighs look fat." she sighed.
"Oh, you know that's not true...still I'll have to have you model them for me so that I can see how they fit...later..." he mused, seductively running a hand along the side of her hip until he got to her leg, rubbing circles there.
Blair began to submit to his touch, momentarily, until she remembered they were in the courtyard of the school, so she grabbed his hand in hers so that they could go walking into the school together, hand in hand. Blair liked the feel of Chuck's hand in her own, because it felt like it gave her a strength like she'd never had before, like she could face anything with him. However, soon after they'd nearly crossed half the courtyard, who should approach them but Nate Archibald with his tousled dark blonde hair, green eyes, looking tanned, toned, and as always classically handsome. Despite being with Chuck now, Blair would always find Nate good looking, just like all of the rest of the girls, and since he'd been her boyfriend for a few years, feeling guilty out of habit, Blair dropped Chuck's hand when Nate approached.
"Hi Blair, how was your summer? Did you do anything fun? Oh hi Chuck, I almost didn't see you there, man." Nate greeted them openly and obviously oblivious to their relationship, as Blair nervously smiled up at Nate, and Chuck gave him a cool stare and a sarcastic smile.
"Hey are you two up for some fun tonight? I have a friend of a friend who has a boat that he can take us out past Coney Island if we like. I know its not the fanciest event, Blair, but I'd thought it'd be entertaining. I'll pick you up at eight tonight, if you want. Oh and Chuck, you can come too if you like." Nate nonchalantly said.
"A boat ride around Coney Island? Sounds...like fun, but what about S? I'd thought for sure you'd want to take her for a boat ride around Coney Island." Blair asked, slightly sarcastically.
"Sure, I'll take her along. It can be the three of us...or four of us if Chuck wants to go along. It'll be an unofficial back to school bash, although my guest list is going to be rather short." he admitted, as he gave Blair a kiss on the cheek, then turned to Chuck saying "Oh man, you should see the girls I saw in California! Talk about sweet...do ya know what I mean?..." as he drew him off to the side for a little guy talk, as the bell rang and Blair made her way into the school and into class.
~o~o~o~o~
The rest of the morning progressed, and as such Blair's mind began to wander to thoughts of what she and Chuck had planned for after school. Chuck's father had wanted him to improve his grades this year, so when Bart threatened to send him to military school, he and Blair had advised a plan where she would help him with his homework and tutor him in whatever were his most difficult subjects, and she'd get paid. Bart and Blair's parents thought it was an excellent idea since she had a 4.0 grade point average and was at the top of her class, so they agreed to pay her for her willingness to help Chuck. Of course unbeknown to either set of parents, the tutoring sessions went both ways, not only did Blair tutor Chuck in his school subjects, but Chuck also tutored Blair in the art of making love. To Blair it was a double bonus because in essence she was being paid to have sex with the venerable Chuck Bass on a regular basis, and she was his girlfriend now to boot.
As Blair daydreamed about her last encounter with Chuck more than a week ago, and began to get turned on by the combination of those thoughts and the ribbons on her stockings rubbing against the inside of her thighs, she suddenly got a text message on her phone which was set on vibrate. She glanced down at the phone and noticed the text.
From: Chuck: 303
Knowing what Chuck had meant by that message, Blair glanced at the time and realized that the class period was almost over and that next was her lunch period, so while everyone was studying, Blair asked to be excused to go to the restroom. Since it was history class, and the history teacher was pretty lenient to girls, especially always prim and proper Blair Waldorf, he wrote her out a hall pass and let her go. Blair made her way down the hall and upstairs to the third floor to room 303, standing outside of the door for a moment, after tapping on the door and waiting for a text message.
Once upon a time, up until about 25 years ago, room 303 was a faculty smoking lounge, where teachers and other faculty members could go to smoke on their lunch breaks or whenever time allowed. Since then though, with new anti-smoking laws passed and a larger more modern teacher's lounge constructed in another area of the school, the little old lounge at 303 had been pretty much been abandoned for years. Somehow though, Chuck Bass had learned of the lounge and procured a key for it from the janitor, and now the skinny, L shaped room was occasionally used by him for his devious purposes throughout the day, whenever he had a need to unwind.
Blair waited at the door of 303, until she received a text message by Chuck to come in. She walked through the door and across the small room, past a skinny door that led to a tiny restroom on the left, and forward until she came to the bend in the upside down L, where she glanced to the left and saw Chuck sitting on a small, old couch that had probably been there since the 1980s, if not earlier. Chuck was looking at a magazine, and had several others spread across his lap, although when she looked closer, as she approached him, she realized he might have a problem he was turning to her for a solution.
"Mmm...Blair you came...That was good...and in record time." he replied as he glanced up at her, his voice seductive.
"Indeed. So do you have a problem you need me to help you solve?" she slyly inquired as she glanced her eyes downward toward his lap, licking her lip in the process.
"Mmm...perhaps, my little coquette...but first things first...I would like to inspect the purchase I gifted you with, if you please. You show me your's and then I will show you mine." he replied.
"My stockings? You want to inspect my stockings?" she asked.
"Yes. You complained of the fit and I wanted to judge for myself." he replied.
"All right, here goes. See, don't they make my legs look fat up here? They give me rolls of fat just above the cuff at the top, and when you pull them away, they leave a mark on my thigh." she sighed as she lifted her skirt to Chuck her stockings.
To Chuck, the stockings he'd given her made her legs look fabulous. He loved the little rolls of fat that formed in places just along the top of the cuff, because it made her look more like his ideal, real woman. He also loved the fact that it was something that she was wearing which he'd purchased with his own money, which was marring her delicate ivory skin right then, if ever so slightly. With his voice rough with emotion, he bade her "Turn around, model them for me. Yes that is it. No, they are not bad. I love the way your legs look in those stockings...the ribbons accent them well. But come closer and let me see the mark." as she stepped forward.
Slyly, he lifted her leg up onto the couch beside him, caressing her leg as he ran a finger under the top cuff of the left stocking, saying "Perhaps the fit is a little tight...but the mark it leaves is nothing that can't be remedied...with a kiss..." as he took a deep breath, smelling her woman's scent, as he pulled her stocking down slightly and kissed at the mark it'd left on her thigh.
She sighed as he kissed her thigh, and ran his fingers along her thigh to untie the bows on the stockings. Bows she intentionally or unintentionally tied on the inside of her thighs, rather than the outside. He fingered the untied ribbons and chuckled aloud, deeply. "Mmm...your ribbons are damp...were you thinking of me while you were in class? Thinking of the things we can do together?"
"Perhaps...why don't you check and find out..." she seductively dared him.
He reached between her legs and felt that her lace panties were soaked, and smirked "Mmm...indeed that appears to be the case. Well that just means that like minded people think alike...and we are indeed like minded people." as massaged her for a moment, then hooked his fingers around the side straps, pulling her underwear off and secretly slipping them into his pocket. He then lifted a cigarette out of an ashtray he had sitting next to the couch and took a drag on it, and blew a smoke ring at her, while he stared at her most private area for a few seconds and sighed. "Nice...yes...very nice..."
After standing there for nearly a minute, as he seemingly 'admired' her, running a finger along her crease, barely touching her as he blew smoke from his cigarette, Blair became impatient and sighed "All right are you going to touch me or not. I'm not a chimney to be blown smoke at."
"Hmm...impatient are we? Well I see you want it just as much as I do...but let's see who is the most hungry..." he mused, as he slipped a finger inside her channel to gage her readiness for him, as he drew closer by grasping her buttock in his other hand and drew her closer to him. She gasped at the intrusion of his long, warm finger, but started to call out his name when he began to devour her with his wicked mouth. She was balancing with one leg on the floor, one leg on the couch, and her hand pressed against the wall behind Chuck, as he devoured her and made her quickly cum.
She was just coming down from her ecstatic high, when he released her, and pantingly replied "All right now your turn, darling. See if you can match that." as he licked his lips.
"Ah so now you want me to help you? Well it is lunch time, so I suppose I am a little bit hungry." she laughed seductively as she got down on her knees before him and unfastened his pants to release his straining erection. Once she had him free and was cradling him in her tiny hands, she looked up to see the same look of wry wonder and desire that she'd seen the first time she'd gone down on him, but this time his expression seemed more open. Smugly, she pulled and squeezed at his straining member, manipulating him in the manner she knew he liked, and soon had him letting out a seductive moan from his supple lips, despite determination not to be too obvious.
She pushed back his extra skin with her finger and licked off his dew drop of moisture with her lips and tongue, as she locked eyes with him. They continued with locked eyes as she worried his skin an he bit his bottom lip in sync, but when she truly went down on him, he began to pant and groan, rolling his head back against the couch as he gave way to her ministrations to him. Blair looked up and just reveled in her ability to share moments like these with him. Being swept away with the building ecstasy she created in them both by doing such a simple act, watching his face flush and his body ripple in such pleasure, as she felt her own body clench.
Quicker than she had anticipated, he began to cum into her mouth in waves, and she tried to take it in as he cried out. When she had taken all that she could, nearly draining him dry, she released him from her mouth, wiping her mouth off on a napkin. Despite that, Chuck still continued to have a bit of an erection, so thinking fast and feeling the genuine need for him, she removed a condom from a box he kept hidden under the couch, and rolled it on him as she began to stroke him again.
"Ah...Waldorf...don't you ever stop?" he teasingly groaned as he shifted his hips again in time to her continuing ministrations.
"Do you really want me to, because I don't want to." she mused as she made sure the condom was secure, before she climbed up onto his lap to straddle him, as she felt him slip inside and they both moaned in pleasure. She continued to ride him as he thrust his hips slowly and sensually, then faster, until they both cried out each other's name as they came together. Afterwards, she collapsed in his arms burying her face against the side of his neck, kissing him along the inside of his loosened shirt collar as she relaxed and let out satisfied little moans.
Chuck loved being with Blair. The sexual act and what she brought to the table while doing it, and the feeling of satisfaction and more that he got from it. He also loved the comradery of their longtime friendship and how talking with her and scheming with her always turned him on. However, at the times when she got all clingy afterwards, kissing his neck and melding against him, he didn't know what to think. Sometimes he liked it, and other times it made him uncomfortable, but either way it gave him a strange feeling in his stomach that was unlike anything he'd felt with anyone else. It wasn't the pure, tingly feeling he got from the sex act, because if that's all he needed he could do it himself if necessary. And it wasn't just because it was Blair, a girl he'd secretly desired for years and was his real life fantasy girl. (However, truth be told, if Brigitte Bardot was 50 or 60 yrs younger...he'd have her in a heartbeat.) Still, what he felt whenever Blair clung to him or treated him like that, was a new emotion to him nonetheless, an emotion of rightness and protectiveness that he was unsure if he could fully handle yet. He was no Romeo...he was Chuck Bass.
With, that in mind, he reluctantly pealed her away from him, by distracting her with a conversation. "So...Blair...are you going on that boat ride around Coney Island with Nate?" he asked.
"Hmm...I don't know. He seemed so kind, like he hadn't realized what he'd done to me or that we're broken up. He acted like we didn't even break up over the summer. Sometimes I think he's so clueless...even if he is still hot." she pondered.
"That may be so. Still you must remember he cheated on you with Serena last summer, and he even hooked up with other girls in California too. I have proof of that, if his stories are to be believed." he replied.
"Oh that boy! I knew he was a naive, confused player. Coming back thinking he can just pick up where we left off in our relationship. Well he has another thing coming. Yeah let's go to that party, and we'll show him who's with who now." she exclaimed.
"So we'll go to the party together? Excellent idea...Blair. Yes, we will go there and make sure Nate Archibald has a party he doesn't forget." he replied, as he thought what they could do to make it a memorable night.
Chuck and Blair continued their chat until they realized that the lunch hour was over and that it was time to get back to class because Blair never wanted a mark against her record because in school she had to maintain her perfect image, at least in the eyes of the school officials. Blair walked out of the secret lounge no one the wiser to what she and Chuck had done in school, and she hoped it would stay that way for the foreseeable future at least.
~o~o~o~o~
That night, Chuck picked her up in his father's limo and they went on to Nate's party on the beach at Coney Island. When they got there Blair was nervous over a number of things, but it helped that Chuck was with her, oddly enough. They walked side by side into the party, holding each other's hand as they walked into the party. As they were doing so, he surprised her by having a brief moment of genuineness by giving her a shy smile and a quick kiss after which he said, "Don't be nervous, we'll do great. But no kissyface tonight, unless I initiate, okay?"
"Sure, Chuck. And maybe that's good because...oh never mind. Let's go see Nate's party." she sighed as they walked on.
When they walked in and spotted the spread of food and drinks, Blair sighed in relief that it was more than some lame clambake where people just drank beer, smoked pot, and set off bottle rockets while some neo-hippie roasted clams in a pit in the sand. In actuality though, there was some of that, but there also was food from a caterer, tents, a live band, etcetera. In some ways it reminded them of a party you'd see at an exclusive beach club in California, and that impressed Blair and Chuck as much as anything.
"Oh sweet, decent food. I'm starving...even if a lady isn't supposed to say that." Blair commented to Chuck, but his attention was drawn to something else.
"Sweet, hot chicks!" Chuck exclaimed as he oogled some of the ladies, as most any 15 year old boy would.
"Chuck!" Blair moaned, sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Sorry, Blair, but when there are ladies present, the Bass man just has to make an introduction." Chuck replied as he wandered off to talk to the ladies
'Chuck Bass, the perfect boyfriend? Yeah right!' Blair huffed in her mind as she briefly pouted over the situation.
Still undeterred by Chuck's immature lack of judgment, Blair went on to mingle with the other party goers, and soon spotted Nate who was chatting with a few people, so she started to walk over to introduce herself to the fashionable group of kids he seemed to be talking to. Before she got there though, who should slink up beside him, but her best friend Serena, who seemed especially friendly to Nate. She almost lost her nerve, until they spotted her and called out for her to join them, which she did.
"Blair! There you are! Come meet our friends from California! This is Cassidy, Summer, Autumn, Dina, Trent, Troy, and Teddy. Serena and I met them when she was staying in Santa Barbara with her aunt's friends this summer. All, I want to introduce you to my girl friend, Blair Waldorf." Nate said as he made the introductions.
"It's so...nice to meet you Blair. We've heard so much about you. So you go to school with Serena and Nate?" they asked.
"It is nice to meet you too. Yes. I attend school with Serena and Nate, and I'm at the top of my class." she replied as she looked at all of the tall, tan, beautiful, athletic, and mostly blonde young people Nate and Serena were hanging out with. Those two fit right in, while her pale, petite frame, with it's brunette curls, stuck out like a sore thumb...at least in her mind.
"Really? That's fine achievement. Still are you all work and no play? Nose always buried in a book? Or do you know how to have fun?" Summer and Autumn asked.
"Oh yeah I know how to have fun! I can party with the best of them! I just like...sophistication." she declared, haughtily, obviously in an attempt to seem sophisticated and mature.
Suddenly, Kati, Is, and Suki approached her with their phones, asking her questions. "Blair, give us a clue to who that certain boy is that you were with on the helicopter? We tried asking Gossip Girl, but she just talks in riddles, saying that it should be obvious who that certain boy might be. So tell us, please! There was a Gossip Girl report saying that you arrived to the party with Chuck Bass...so is he..." they asked expectantly.
"Chuck Bass and I are...are...good friends...and..." Blair stammered, unsure what to admit, when suddenly, one of the California girls piped up.
"Gossip Girl? Who's Gossip Girl? It sounds like some game we played at my twelfth birthday party." Cassidy laughed nonchalantly.
"Oh Gossip Girl is just a local gossip blogger and advice columnist for our school. We usually take her comments with a grain of salt, unless the blast she sends out is really juicy." Serena laughed, making it all seem a little immature and silly to the older kids from the west coast.
Ignoring Serena, Blair went off to enjoy the rest of the party, and trying to avoid the other girls' incessant questions about her secret new boyfriend, as she also went to find Chuck. Eventually she did find him, but he was just messing around making bets with other people, drinking beer, shooting off bottle rockets and other pilfered fireworks, attempting to flirt with other girls, and so on. Blair mingled with the party a bit more, but soon became a bit dejected when she couldn't be queen bee of popularity with Serena's new friends, so she just sat on a blanket off to the side for awhile watching things from afar.
After a while, she became tired and lay down on a blanket off to the side, when suddenly Chuck approached her, laying down beside her as he said "Ah there you are Blair...I wondered where ya went to after awhile. So what are you doing, looking at the stars." as he curled against her, panting slightly from horsing around on the beach.
"Mmm...maybe. I thought you were off having fun with your new friends and ignoring me...just like everyone else." she sighed as she relaxed against him.
"What? Do you mean like Nate and Serena? Nah I wouldn't do that." he replied.
"What about those hot chicks that you saw when we came in?" she sighed.
"Them? Ah chatting with them was just a diversion...you are my real girlfriend. And speaking of that...I might need your help help in a matter." he teasingly groaned as he rubbed himself against her to give her an indication of what his problem was.
"Wha—What, you're hard?" she gasped, feelig him poke her in the hip.
"Yes...so I need your help to scratch an itch only you can scratch..." he seductively whispered.
"Chuck...I'm not doing that to you out here!" she gasped.
"Oh, so you're not going to make the cobra spit in the sand?" he teased.
"EW! No Chuck, that just sounds gross!" she gasped incredulously, goin on in a rant about his manners, until he shut her up with a kiss.
"All right...but maybe this will help a little?" he teased as he rolled on top of her and settle himself between her legs to make out and dry hump her.
"Oh Chuck, you're silly. I thought we weren't going to make out at the party tonight?" she musedly asked
"Not unless I initiated, which I did..." he replied seductively as they began to make out on the beach blanket.
They were totally into it, and after a minute or two he tired of dry humping Blair and began to draw himself out of his shorts and push aside her underwear to have sex on the beach fully clothed, when suddenly there was a sound of someone invading their space. Chuck looked up momentarily frightened and excited about being caught, and thus he froze for a moment, his tip pressing against her center, until she whined and shifted her hips, and all thoughts of stopping fled his mind as he plunged inside to ride a wave of passion with her. They swallowed each other's cries with kisses as they quickly made love on the beach, a tangle of young flesh intimately connected and separated by nothing there, while they were otherwise clothed. A perfect sycophancy of their love and desire for each other. Afterwards, they lay in each other's arms for a bit, catching their breaths, as they looked at the stars in the sky and the stars in each other's eyes.
Eventually, they got up to go check on the party, but when they walked back, everyone looked at them funny and laughed. It wasn't until then that they checked their phones and noticed the message blast from Gossip Girl, which even included a pic of Chuck on top of her when they were making out on the beach, just before they began to have sex, with the caption below.
Spotted: B Waldorf getting down and dirty at the beach party with St. Jude's resident bad boy of the sophomore class. You asked who her new bf is...well as you can C, it's pretty obvious. I guess C & B just invented their own version of Beach Blanket Bingo when this party became too dull! Xoxo Gossip Girl
"Blair! You had sex with Chuck Bass at my beach party? I don't know what to say. Uh...he didn't rape you did he?" Nate replied angrily.
"Yes...No...I'm sorry Nate...but you and Serena..." Blair cried.
"Well so what? Yeah Serena and I are close, but I didn't know you'd stoop so low that you'd actually sleep with Chuck Bass." Nate fumed.
"Well so what if I slept with Chuck Bass...you slept with my best friend, Serena Vander Woodsen!" Blair retorted.
"Blair...Chuck...just go. Leave my party, now. I need to think some things through." Nate replied, still angry.
"All right, if that's how you want it Nate Archibald, we're leaving! Come on Chuck!" Blair commanded as she and Chuck left before they were escorted out by Nate's new friends.
Once they were outside the party limits, Blair moaned dejectedly. "Oh this is just great. Nate & Serena now hate us, and we got kicked out of the party. Plus we're now the laughing stock of our school because of that stupid Gossip Girl blast! Nobody will invite us to any good parties anymore this year because they'll think we'll put on a show for them."
"Well...Blair...if we can't join them, we'll beat them. Let's say a clambake on a beach only holds a limited amount of amusement...especially when you have a whole park available for one's amusement..." Chuck slyly insinuated as they passed a back entrance to the Coney Island Amusement Park.
"But Chuck, the park closed after Labor Day...or at least it's closed right now." she replied.
"Well that's never stopped me before! Let's say we have some of our own fun...and see if anyone else joins in it with us." Chuck suggested as they got into the park and he began to turn on some of the rides.
"Breaking into the Coney Island Amusement Park? You are certainly full of surprises, Chuck Bass. I love...it. I hope this works though." Blair laughed.
"Oh it will. Like the line from the film Field Of Dreams went, 'If you build it, they will come.' Which in this case, it's if you turn it on, they will come...and they will...just watch." Chuck mused as he continued to make some of the rides come to life.
Although Blair was skeptical at first, Chuck was absolutely right, and everyone from Nate & Serena's beach party came over to Chuck & Blair's hijack of the Coney Island Amusement Park for their own party, thus giving everyone an even better time. This action went a long ways in establishing Chuck & Blair as a power couple to respect during their sophomore year. The rest of that year went pretty well, with little squabbles and run-ins with authority, but for the most part, Blair kept her nose clean as far as she was officially concerned in the eyes of most adults.
Eventually, Blair and Chuck were able to repair their friendships with Serena and Nate to some degree, although the brunette couple and the golden couple didn't always see eye to eye. Blair and Serena's friendship though was really tested when simultaneously Serena's mother sent her to boarding school and Blair's parents divorced because of her father's sexual preferences. Blair was glad that she had Chuck though to lean on during that time, and then through his own twisted reasoning, he helped her realize that with Serena out of the way, who was left to be the school's queen bee for the foreseeable future, but herself...especially when they became upperclassmen that next fall. With that in mind, Blair realized that the rest of her sophomore year, if not her junior and senior years at Constance Billiard could be sweet indeed, if Serena stayed away and there was no one to challenge her for power. Oh yes, the future was looking better and better, nearly perfection.
