A/N: Thank you to all of the fans out there
"Cut it out Serena."
Dan, Serena and Blair were sitting on the Mets steps. Serena was tugging at Dan's scarf getting him all angry. Blair and Serena were laughing their heads off and soon Dan was joining them. From far away they looked like the best of friends.
"So Blair, how did find Kyle?"
"He was very nice and who knows he might be my prom date."
"Come on B, the prom is in 3 days! Just ask him already so he has time to get his tux and all that."
"We'll see S."
Blair was finishing her latte. Serena and Dan were playing a game of awe-you-are-so-cute-when-you-do-that. She tried to keep her breakfast down. She hadn't really been thinking about Kyle as much she wanted to. There was always going to be the other boys. The boys she had amazing moments with, moments that would never be replaced. She stepped up to throw away her empty yogurt cup and when she came back to sit down she noticed Eric was sitting with them.
"Hello Eric."
He looked up. She had always treated him like her brother. That's how close she and Serena truly where, they had meshed their own families together.
"Hey Blair."
Serena and Dan had gone back to their game. Eric started to look like he was going to be sick.
"Want to go for a walk?"
He smiled. She knew he needed to get out of there before he puked.
"Yeah that sounds great, I'll see you later guys."
Serena and Dan hadn't even noticed. Blair laughed. They were so oblivious to the outside world. She wanted to be in a relationship like that one day. Just forget about everyone else and know there was one person that wouldn't judge you. She and Eric started walking.
"So What's new?"
"Nothing much. I heard you went out on a date with some guy Dan picked out."
"Yeah. I can't believe Serena actually allowed him to pick me out some guy. But it was a nice date and who knows maybe he'll be my prom date."
"Yeah the proms coming up. Sounds fun."
Blair smiled. He couldn't go because he was a freshman, he had to be asked by a junior or a senior to go. Then she had an idea.
"Eric, why don't you be my prom date?"
He stopped dead in his tracks. She laughed. I need a date and he seems like he really wants to go, it's not like I like him. He's just a really good friend, she thought. He looked up at her and realized she was serious.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I would be honoured."
He smiled. He had never been to a prom before and he didn't care who he went with.
"Fine, Blair. I'll take you to the prom."
"Thank you Eric."
"But what about that guy?"
"You mean the one Dan found for me? I like him, but I think I need to get to know him better. Besides I have known you forever. What if Bart wants to have dinner during prom night with you and your mom? Know you would have an excuse."
"Very clever."
She laughed. She was interrupted by her cell phone ringing. She looked at her screen. One new message. It read. It was from gossip girl. She opened the message and saw a picture of Jenny and Nate and another picture of Hazel and Chuck. She began staring at the pictures.
"Blair?"
She hadn't noticed that Eric had been calling her name. Jenny and Nate? Hazel and Chuck? How could this be!
"You okay?"
"Yeah, um maybe we should meet up after school so we can get your tux fitted so it matches my dress."
"Sure."
"Well, I'll see you then. Bye."
"Bye."
She headed to the girls hall. As she walked in the girls started laughing at her. What are they laughing at? I thought Jenny and her crew stopped bothering me months ago, she thought. As she reached her locker, she was surprised to find Jenny and Hazel in front of it.
"Couldn't find anyone your own age, Blair."
Jenny started laughing after Hazel had spoken. Blair gave them a confused look. Before she could retaliate, she got another message from gossip girl. Know she knew why the world would be laughing at her.
