Blair impatiently waited for Serena and Dan. Where is he? Doesn't he know how important this is for me? Cabbage Patch why do you have to fail me now, she thought. Suddenly her prayers were answered. There was Serena and Dan, laughing and holding hands. Blair hurried up to them with and excited look in her eyes.
"Do you have it?"
Dan pulled out a little piece of paper and handed it to her.
"Yeah."
"Thank you! Now if you don't mind I have an important phone call to make."
She hurried off. Serena turned to Dan.
"What was that about?"
"She asked me for Kyle's number. I think it's good. About time he got a girlfriend."
"I still can't believe you found her a date. All for me."
"Well I can't have you unhappy now."
Serena giggled. She hugged him. Just being with him was enough.
"Who knows, maybe Blair and Kyle will become the new it couple."
"Yeah, just don't mention it to Kyle, it will go straight to his head."
They laughed and went to sit on the steps. Meanwhile, Blair dialled Kyle's number. She pressed the phone against her ear and waited. Pick up, Pick up, Pick up,. Finally after three rings she heard a familiar voice on the other end.
"Hello?"
"Kyle. It's Blair."
"Blair? How did you get my number?"
"I asked a good friend of yours. I hope you don't find it stalkerish."
"Nah. But stalkerish? Are you making new words just for me?"
Blair laughed.
"Of course, just for you. I was actually calling to set up a date. I'm good tonight and tomorrow, but on Friday I can't because of the prom."
"How about tonight."
"Sure. We can meet at Fete de Tete. You know where that is?"
"No, but I'll get directions."
"Ok. I'll see you tonight. 6:00?"
"Yeah. I'll see you then."
"Well bye."
"Bye, Blair."
She hung up and dazed at her phone. Was she really going on a date with a guy who wasn't either Chuck or Nate. She made her way back to Serena and Dan on the steps.
"So how was it?"
"Great! Me and Kyle are going out tonight!"
Blair and Serena squealed. Dan just sat there. It was weird when girls got all girly. Having no one to turn to, he went over his Chemistry Homework. After they had finally calmed down, he looked back up.
"I never thought I'd say this but thank you Cabbage Patch."
"Your welcome."
"S, you defiantly have to come over and help me pick out something to wear."
"Sure."
Blair smiled. She loved actually having people to trust. They talked some more about the prom. Dan suddenly saw Nate and Chuck walking by.
"Um, excuse me ladies but I have something to take care of."
"Okay."
He kissed Serena and went to catch up with Nate and Chuck. As soon as he got close enough, he yelled their names.
"Chuck, Nate! Wait for me."
He started running towards them.
"Come on Nathaniel, we can still get away."
"Lets just wait for him."
Dan caught up to them.
"Nate I was wondering if I could talk to you."
"Yeah sure man."
Chuck went to go talk to some other boys in their class.
"Listen Nate, I know you're a great guy but I can't believe you did what you did."
"Well what did I do?"
"Jenny was really looking forward to the prom. Why did you dump her?"
"If you were there you would understand."
"Well I wasn't there, so would you mind filling me in. I'm not exactly psychic."
"I don't know. One minute her and Hazel were making fun of Blair and something just snapped inside me. I can't explain it. It's like if someone makes fun of her it effects me. Her pain is my pain."
Dan looked at the ground. Was Nate really over Blair.
"Okay if it makes you happy, I'll take Jenny."
"Thank you man. I just don't want my sister to be unhappy."
"Yeah I understand."
Dan walked off back to Serena and Blair. Chuck walked back to Nate.
"What did Humphrey want?"
"Um nothing."
They started walking. As they walked, Nate caught sight of Jenny and her friends.
"I need to talk to someone."
Chuck simply followed. Nate and Chuck stopped right in front of the group of 'friends'.
"Jenny can I talk to you for a second."
She glanced at Hazel. Hazel gave her a What are you waiting for, go! look. Jenny smiled.
"Okay."
She and Nate walked down to the sidewalk. From the corner of Nate's eye, he saw Chuck sit down looking uncomfortable as ever.
"So what did you want to ask me?"
He turned his attention back to Jenny.
"I was actually wondering if you would go to the prom with me. I think I made a mistake dumping on you like that."
There I said it. Remember your doing this for Dan not you, he thought. Jenny stood there smiling so hard.
"Of course I would love to. We are going to have so much fun!"
"Yeah…. Fun"
She smiled. They walked back to the group. Chuck got up quickly.
"I'll see you later Nate."
Before Nate had time to respond, Chuck pulled him quickly away.
"Nathaniel, what was that about?"
"I just decided to take Jenny to the prom."
"What? I thought that we would avoid that group because of what they said."
"I don't think Jenny had a lot to do with it."
"You don't think she had to do with it, or Humphrey doesn't."
"Why does it matter? Come on let's get to class. I can't be late anymore."
"Yeah sure. Whatever you say."
As they walked, Chuck couldn't do anything but think why Nate would take Jenny back. Didn't he care about Blair. Hadn't he heard what they had said about her. The bell rang and Chuck rushed to class.
