5. Everybody's going to War
"Okay then folks today we will be going on a nature trail so get into your pairs and follow me" Mr Johnsons said leading them in to the woods.
Blair shivered, she was freezing cold Chuck had taken his coat back and she was left with just a jumper on. She didn't know what was wrong with him this morning, he was being an ass.
"Come on Blair, let's go" he said grabbing her hand and dragging her so they were able to catch up with the rest of the group.
She snatched her hand away "Don't hold my hand" she growled at him.
"Says the girl who wanted to kiss me this morning" He muttered as she smacked him in the stomach.
"Shut up!" she hissed hoping that no one else had heard that comment.
"Come on B, we need to keep up otherwise we might get lost again and you'll have to cling on to me again and we wouldn't want that would we" He said.
"Seriously Chuck do not push me today, you are this close to me killing you" Blair said using her fingers to show how close he was.
"Can we save the death threats for later?" he asked her as they reached the rest of group who were currently being told what to do.
"Okay folks you all have your check sheets, all you have to do is spot the things on the list and check them off" Mr Johnson explained.
Blair rolled her eyes great this day was going to be so boring.
"Now if you could all try and act appropriately that would be appreciated, especially those of you have already been in trouble" He said his eyes falling on Jenny and Nate who shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. "And guys have fun!" he added.
Jenny scoffed she doubted that she would be having anything that came close to fun "Come on the Jenny we better go and find this crap, otherwise we'll have another morning of litter picking" Nate said smiling at her as they started walking further into the woods.
Jenny shivered "I hate the woods, they are so creepy" she confided.
Nate gave her a reassuring smile "Don't worry if a bear comes out I'll protect you" he offered.
Jenny's eyes widened "Do you think there are bears out here?" she asked him his comment making her more scared than anything else.
"No, I was just kidding" he explained taking her hand. "Come on it'll be fine" he said softly rubbing his thumb across her fingers.
"Ok" Jenny said still quite uncertain about this, but kind of enjoying the hand holding part.

Chuck and Blair however were not getting on so well in fact they were no longer speaking which made a change for the both of them as all they ever did was argue.
"Ooh look there's a bird" Chuck told Blair pointing at it.
Blair looked at it completely disinterested "I don't care" she muttered.
"God Blair what is your problem today?" he asked angrily at her lack of enthusiasm.
Blair's looked at him upset "What is my problem? MY PROBLEM IS YOU" she shouted at him whilst he stared at her.
"What I have done?" he asked throwing his arms around exasperated with the way she was acting.
"What have you done, you act like you like me, then all of sudden your back being the mother chucker that you usually are" She barked at him, trying to keep her voice quiet.
Chuck wasn't sure what to say to that, she was right of course he had acted like he wanted her, and then changed back to his normal self. He hated the way that Blair made him feel, like he was no longer in control of his own feelings or body. Chuck Bass did not like girls and he wasn't going to start liking them with his best friends ex girlfriend.
"Are you going to say anything?" Blair demanded her hands on her hips as she stared him down.
Chuck couldn't even explain his next action to himself let alone to anyone else as he grabbed Blair and planted a harsh kiss on her lips causing her to gasp in shock.
Blair allowed him to kiss her for a second until she realised what was happening and shoved him off of her "What is wrong with you?" She shouted at him "You think that you can kiss me and automatically I just pretend like what you do doesn't upset me? Well you're wrong!" she continued ranting.
"Blair I thought that was what you wanted" Chuck replied moving towards her.
Blair shoved him again "What I wanted, I want you to be honest with me and not act like being Chuck Bass gives you a free pass on everything" she explained calming down a little bit.
"How am I supposed to know that?" he asked her simply.
"Because you just are" Blair stated turning around. "We better just get on with this stupid work" she huffed walking away from him.
Chuck shook his head, this whole liking someone thing was so much more hassle than it was worth. But Chuck realised that if anyone was worth fighting for, it was Blair Waldorf.

Nate and Jenny were the most bored they had ever been in there whole life as they stared at the woods surrounding them. Jenny was currently sat on the floor yawning.
"Do you think we can go back to camp yet?" she asked him as he leant against a tree.
Nate shrugged "I don't know"
Jenny looked at him his facial expression was slightly pensive as if he were thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked him standing up and wiping down her jeans.
"Nothing, just my dad that's all" He explained.
Jenny knew that his father had been arrested for something to do with fraud and that Nate must be worried about him.
"I'm sure he's okay, I mean if anything happened your mom would call you right" Jenny offered as a response not really sure of how to talk someone who's father might be going to prison.
Nate smiled at her, a thank you for her trying to make him feel better. "I guess so, I was thinking more about whether he deserved to get put in prison or not" Nate explained.
"Oh" Jenny replied not knowing how else to reply to that statement.
"I mean if he did do all that stuff, and stole maybe he does deserve to be punished for it" he continued running his hand through his hair in an anxious manner.
"I guess you just need to think that if hadn't been your dad that did it, would someone else deserve to be punished for it" Jenny said this was her attempt at advice.
"Then I would say yes they did deserve to be punished" he replied.
"Well then you just answered your own question even though it's scary to think of your dad in prison, maybe it's scarier to think that just because he has money that he can just get away with it" Jenny pointed out.
"I guess, but if he does go to prison it will kill my mom, I don't know if she could handle it" he explained.
Jenny thought about this "Well you will just have to be there for her won't you" Jenny responded.
Nate sighed "Who's going to be there for me?" he asked as if he were a helpless child.
"Your friends, Chuck, Serena, Blair, me" she said squeezing his arm supportively.
"Why you would want to support me? You've seen how I screw things up" He asked her.
Jenny smiled "Because we're friends, and besides even if you do screw up a lot I'm still going to need protecting from any bears out here" Jenny explained adding the last part to lighten the heavy mood.
Nate chuckled lightly "I guess so, it's kind of like a win, win situation" he said.
Jenny grinned at him "Definitely. Now come on we better finish this list before it gets dark" she said shivering at the thought of being in a wood at night.

Around an hour later they were all back at camp and getting ready to eat lunch. Today's meal was Sausage surprise! None of them were particularly looking forward to a meal that had the word surprise in it after last night's dinner.
They were all sat around the table which was like a giant version of a picnic bench. Jenny and Nate were sat opposite one another and Dan was sitting next to Jenny with Serena on his other side. Somehow it had ended up with Blair and Chuck next to one another on the other side of Nate who felt rather uncomfortable sat next to his ex girlfriend.
Blair wasn't intentionally leaning close to Nate it was just the result of her trying to keep away from Chuck who although she was angry with, his touch still made her act stupid.
Nate looked at Blair who basically on his lap at this point "Blair could you move over a little bit, I'm kind of uncomfortable" he asked her politely.
"Fine" she snapped at him moving a tiny bit closer to Chuck who was silent at the moment much to everyone's surprise.
Jenny pushed the 'food' around on her plate it was a bright orange colour and the sausages were practically made of rubber. Dan who was to her left was being stupid and coupley with Serena and it was kind of making her feel ill.
"God Dan can you keep it G rated at the table, you're putting me off my rubber sausages" she moaned.
Dan turned to her "Sorry, Jenny I didn't mean to disgust you" he replied his tone light letting her know it was a joke. "Oh and dad called me earlier, he wants you to call him so that he knows your okay"
Jenny looked at him strangely "Why didn't you just tell him I was okay?" Jenny asked.
Dan leaned over and whispered in her ear "He wants to talk about the sleeping arrangements" He said motioning to Nate with his eyes.
"Oh goody that should be a nice father – daughter chat then" she replied sarcastically. "I don't see why you needed to inform him of who I was sharing with" she whispered to him her tone one of annoyance.
Dan looked at his younger sister "He asked me, just call him okay I don't really want to be involved with one of yours and dads chats" he sighed.
"Then why do you insist making sure you are involved?" Jenny asked him slightly pissed off now.
"I don't I just tell him what he asks me" Dan answered.
"It was a rhetorical question" Jenny spat at him fed up of him always telling their dad things about her that were none of his business.
The others had noticed the tense conversation between the siblings, and were looking at them.
"Whatever" Dan replied taking a sip of his drink.
Jenny through him a dirty look and started to angrily chop up her food scraping the knife across the plate so it made a harsh screeching sound.
"Are you trying to annoy me now Jenny? How mature" Dan said sighing at his sister's behaviour.
"Actually no I wasn't, this would trying" Jenny replied picking up her beverage and tipping it over his head getting up from the table.
Dan opened and closed his mouth as if he were a fish while the rest of the table tried to not laugh at him, he got up and threw his cutlery on the table and went after Jenny.
"What is the matter with you?" he shouted at her.
Jenny spun around to face him and making sure that no one at the table could hear her "Dad isn't the one that minds me sharing with Nate is he? Its you who doesn't like it" Jenny said.
"I just don't think that you understand what kind of guy he is Jenny" Dan said trying to explain his worries.
"I think I know him better than you do actually Dan, since the only thing you know about him is that he slept with your girlfriend once" Jenny replied cuttingly.
Dan knew that this was true he didn't really know Nate at all "I just don't want you to get hurt" he said his voice full of concern.
Jenny's eyes flamed up "I'm not marrying the guy, we are sharing a tent for two weeks, and we are just friends" Jenny explained.
"Okay then, if you want to be his friend, be his friend you are usually a pretty good judge of character" Dan said apolitically.
Jenny looked at him and smiled his sopping wet hair "I'm sorry I poured juice over your head" she said.
Dan laughed "Hey what's another public humiliation under my belt" Dan replied lightly and Jenny laughed.
"I guess people already knew you were a loser" Jenny said punching him on the arm in a friendly manner.
"Gee thanks Jen, I love you too" he said feigning hurt.
"Oh shut up" she said hugging her brother.
"We better go back and eat our lunch" he said and Jenny groaned.
"I think I'd rather starve" Jenny replied.
"Come on it can't be worse than dads cooking" he said.
Jenny smiled "You do have a point" she laughed walking back over to the table where everyone was now staring at Chuck and Blair, who seemed to be having another argument.
"Chuck please stop chewing so loudly" Blair whinged as Chuck continued chewing even louder than before.
"This is how I eat, sorry princess" he replied smiling at her food in his teeth.
"You are disgusting" Blair said.
"You love it really" He replied continuing to eat.
"Honestly the way you two fight you'd think you were a couple or something" Serena joked.
Blair and Chuck both threw her the death glare "Don't be stupid" they both shouted at her in sync.
Serena looked at them both she knew that there was a reason why Blair was so annoyed with Chuck and she doubted that it was the fact he was chewing so loud. It couldn't be could it? Her best friend didn't like Chuck Bass did she?
