A/N: Judging from the reviews on the first chapter, this was worth continuing. So I present to you, Chapter 2 (Even though it's not very long ;$) :3 This story will be rated T for minor language (note the minor!)

"Serena, this is stupid. Why can't I just go inside?"

"Because, we have to make sure he really likes you, or else this plan won't work," Serena explained loudly, causing the taxi driver to glance back and stare at her in question. Blair glared back at the man. "I thought we were paying you to stay out of this."

Serena grinned as the man turned around in shame and turned on the radio.

Blair sighed as she looked back to the restaurant across the street. She felt sorry for Chuck as she watched him glance at the clock every five minutes. It had been over a half-an-hour since the date should have started and according to Serena, he'd wait another thirty minutes if her really like her.

A few minutes later, Blair watched as Chuck signaled a waiter over. Blair's heart dropped. He's leaving.

Serena was also watching in anticipation, and when the waiter walked away and returned with a drink, both girls sighed in relief, although for completely different reasons. "Guess our plan is still on." Guess he likes me after all.

Another twenty five minutes had passed and Chuck was now on his third glass of scotch. He frowned at the clock as he realized that Blair most likely hadn't showed up. Convincing himself that he didn't care, Chuck downed his drink and signaled the waiter over, asking for the check.

Placing the charge next to the bill, he almost missed the small writing at the bottom. Looking over to the bar, he saw a the brunette waitress wink at him. Grinning, he got up and walked right over to the bar.

"S, look. He's leaving." Blair shook her friends shoulder as she watched Chuck get up. Serena looked up and noticed right away where Chuck was heading.

"See that brunette working at the bar?" Blair nodded as she spotted the girl. "What about her?"

Pointing back out the window, Blair's eyes followed and she saw Chuck sit down on a stool next to her. "Oh," she said in realization as the girl laughed. Blair could almost hear her most likely obnoxious laughter across the street.

Just as she was about to command the driver to leave, she noticed the Chuck getting up and heading for the bathroom. "I have a plan."

Blair grinned wickedly as she stepped out of the cab and walked briskly into the restaurant, heading straight for the bar.

She sat down on the same stool that had been occupied by Chuck. "Can I help you?"

Blair smiled sweetly at the girl. "Maybe you can. I'm looking for my boyfriend." The waitress nodded and rested her head on her hands. "Well I've been working all night, I probably noticed him. How does he look like?"

"Well, he was wearing a dark blue suit and he has dark hair and dark brown eyes. Probably ordered a scotch earlier." Blair watched as the girl's face lit with realization.

"Yeah... Umm, I think he was here earlier," the girl said, a blush rising to her cheeks.

Blair smiled and stood up. "Great. If you see him again, let him know I'm looking for him."

Serena gave Blair a questioning look when she re-entered the cab. "What did you do?"

The brunette grinned widely. "Just wait."

Both of them watched as Chuck walked from the bathroom and took his seat again. The waitress glared at him and seconds later, she grabbed a glass of water that was standing on the bar counter and threw it in his face.

"Our mission here is done." Serena laughed at her friend as they asked the cab driver to head back home.

….

"It's here," Serena squealed in excitement. Blair smiled as she picked up her own phone and opened the new gossip girl blast.

Spotted: Chuck Bass getting turned down by a lovely brunette at Butter, after waiting an hour at a restaurant for a mystery, dare I say it, date. After a week of abstinence, it looks like our resident bad-boy might be turning into our resident lonely-boy.

Serena giggled as she scrolled down to see a picture of Chuck, his hair and the front of his shirt completely soaked. Blair smiled, but her joy was short lasting. Did she cock-block Chuck because she was trying to protect that girl, or was she just really that jealous. Her thoughts were cut off as Serena dragged her to the kitchen and started mixing Mohitas for both of them.

Deciding that she must have done it for the sake of the waitress, Blair grabbed the glass Serena handed to her and they toasted to the end of girls getting hurt by Chuck.

….

Chuck groaned as his alarm clock woke him up from his sleep. He had been having a very pleasant dream involving Blair, much like every other night for the past week.

After the scandal on Friday, Chuck had stayed in his suite for the whole weekend. Although, he had to admit, he just mostly didn't want to bump into the current object of his dreams.

After calling for the limo and driving to school, Chuck's hand hesitated over the door handle as he scanned the courtyard for Blair. When he didn't spot the brunette, he wasn't sure if he was relieved or disappointed.

Stepping out, a few people standing near by started whispering, the gossip from Friday apparently still fresh in their minds. Walking straight past them, he ignored the snickers and stares. After all, through the years he had gotten used to the unwanted attention.

Walking into the school, Chuck headed straight for Nate's locker. As predicted, he was gathering books for his first class, but he wasn't alone.

Serena shot Chuck a smirk before kissing Nate on the cheek and departing. "Hey man. What's up?"

"I was thinking we could go out for some fresh air," Chuck answered, patting his pocket to emphasize his point. Nate chuckled and followed his friend out into the courtyard.

"So, who's the mystery girl?"

Chuck raised an eyebrow as he took a long drag from the joint. "Don't try to pull the clueless act, I'm talking about the girl you waited an hour for at Butter."

Sighing, Chuck handed his friend the joint. "Blair."

"Blair? As in Serena's friend Blair," Nate asked incredulously. When Chuck nodded, the blonde let out of snort of laughter. "I can't believe Serena let you get away with that."

Chuck glared at Nate, "Well, it doesn't matter, she didn't show up. Can we change the subject?"

The blonde smirked. "Getting rejected on your first date ever. Tough luck." Nate laughed but quickly silenced when Chuck shot him a death glare. For the next minutes they stood in silence as they waited for the joint to wear off.

The bell rang, announcing that the first class was over and the next one would begin shortly. Both boys pushed away from the wall and walked into the crowded hallways. Nate followed Chuck to his locker and when he opened up the door, the blonde scanned his eyes over his friend's schedule. The first thing tho catch his eyes was that Chuck's first period had been the joint class they had once a week with the girls from Constance. Under normal circumstances Nate knew his friend would never pass an opportunity to hit on the Constance girls, but today seemed to be an exception.

"Hey, I didn't know you had that joint class first period. Why'd you skip it?"

Chuck mumbled something about really needing a smoke, but being friends with the brunette since kindergarten had taught Nate to see through most of his lies.

Nate tried to question him further but Chuck ignored him. He didn't even look up from his locker until Nate pointed out that Blair and Serena were walking over. Chuck swiveled his head around, cursed and slammed his locker shut. Turning to walk away, he was interrupted by Nate grabbing him. "You like her, don't you?"

Chuck answered with a growl before walking briskly away.

….

Blair smiled to herself as she realized that her first period was a joint class with a group of the St. Judes boys, which, according to Serena, included Chuck. This was the perfect time to continue with their plan and give Chuck her excuse for not showing up past Friday night.

Walking into the classroom, a few of the boys already present eyed her and when one made a move to stand up and approach her, Blair shot him an are-you-serious look. The boy backed away in shame and his friends laughed at him.

Taking her seat at the back of the classroom, Blair waited patiently as the classroom filled up and when the bell rang, the seat next to her was still empty. She had glared at everyone that tried to sit down, the seat being reserved for a certain brunette, but with little luck. He hadn't even shown up.

When the bell rang, Blair threw her books into her bag and was the first one to exit through the door. Finding Serena, she told her how their plan was currently in a stand still. Serena nodded and told her why Chuck had most likely been absent. He had either skipped school or was smoking with Nate. Blair was following Serena as she tried to find he boyfriend in the crowded halls of St. Judes. A couple of stares followed them, but Blair noted that most of them were pointed towards Serena.

Finally finding Nate with Chuck, Serena smiled and headed over, Blair following closely behind. A couple of feet away, the noticed Chuck slam his locker closed and practically run of. Both girls exchanged questioning looks before walking over to Nate.

"What was that about?" Serena watched as Chuck disappeared around the corner. Nate laughed and swung an arm around both girls. "You'll find out soon enough."

….

It was finally lunch and Blair and Serena walked out into the courtyard together, chatting about the newest post from gossip girl. Apparently Hazel had a thing for her dad's business partner. Spotting Nate, Serena squealed in delight and ran into his arms. Blair rolled her eyes at her friends antics. They couldn't have been apart for more then 2 hours and they were already suffering from separation anxiety.

Watching them kiss, Blair felt slightly nauseous at the sickeningly sweet display of affection, but some part of her also felt envy. For as long as she could remember, she had fantasized about this kind of storybook love.

Walking slowly over to the pair, Blair saw that Chuck was once again absent. Looking around the courtyard, she finally spotted him standing in the shadows, watching her with a somewhat hateful look. Blair shuddered at the intense stare. Well, if he wasn't going to come to her, she as just going to have to come him.

"I'll be right back," Blair called over her shoulder, although the couple was most likely to engrossed in their kiss to take notice of her departure. Heading straight for Chuck, she noticed him tense up as she came closer. Standing in front of him, Blair sighed loudly.

"About Friday..."

"Look, I don't need you excuse. You didn't want to show up and I really couldn't care less about what you did instead." Blair flinched at the harshness in his voice. She didn't know he would take this so badly. Clearing her throat, Blair moved closer, causing Chuck to shift on his feet.

"Just listen. I really did intend on showing up, I just..." Chuck raised his hand to silence her and Blair stopped talking. "I don't care. I'm not one of those whiny annoying guys that bawl their eyes out if they get stood up. I had other plans anyways"

"Is that why you've been avoiding me all day?" Blair smirked but it quickly fell when Chuck countered with his own. "Looks like someone's been looking for me."

Blair rolled her eyes as he chuckled, the smirk never leaving his face.

Sighing as an awkward silence overtook their conversation, Blair made one more attempt to explain her "absence" on Friday. Once again, Chuck silenced her.

Blair wracked her brain desperately for what to say, if he hated her guts, her and Serena's plan was sure to fail. Suddenly realizing how close they were standing, she decided to take advantage of the situation.

Leaning in even closer, Blair could see him also lean in with interest. "Since you won't let me explain myself, how would you feel if I just made it up to you?"

Chuck swallowed as he watched Blair's lips get closer and closer. Trying to regain his composure, Chuck placed his hand on her hip and grinned. "Well, I'm not known for passing up a good offer."

Blair smiled as she brushed her lips softly against his and then backed away quickly. Chuck looked shocked for a second and when he finally snapped out of it, Blair had already started walking away. He followed but since she got a head start, she was at Serena's side before he could catch up to her. Sighing loudly, he walked over to the trio and made sure to glare at Blair whenever she looked at him.

The bell finally rang and as the went their separate ways for class, Chuck looked over his shoulder to find Blair doing the same. Winking at him, she giggled and walked with Serena through the doors.

As soon as Serena waved her and headed for class, Blair raised a hand to her lips and smiled.

Spotted: Chuck Bass and a brunette from the Palace bar heading for his suite. Guess we can't count you out yet C.

XOXO Gossip Girl

Serena flipped open her phone and cursed. She needed to continue their plan and fast.

….

Blair scrolled down the text and glared at the picture below. She squeezed her eyes shut as a tear threatened to fall. She could tell herself she didn't care all she wanted, but the drop of water running down her cheek convinced her that she was more jealous then she had ever been. She was going to kill him for making her feel this way.

….
