Chapter 2
"Class! Your attention please! If you could take you seats so we could get started!" called an angelic voice, breaking Blair out of her dream-like post-Nate state. She looked up to see where the angelic voice had come from, and saw an equally angelic face. The woman had a soft face, with a round chin and bright emerald eyes. Her skin was the color of milk chocolate, with a slight blush on the apples of her cheeks. She wore a tailored Chanel suit and Jimmy Choos. She was gorgeous.
Blair smiled at her new teacher. Then she skipped over to the rows of desks and looked for the one with her name on it. She scanned the desks all clumped together and saw her name. She sat down at her desk, and set up her pencils, erasers, and pens. Then she scanned the names on the desks, looking at the others at her table. She saw Serena van der Woodsen, Nathaniel Archibald, Charles Bass, Daniel Humphrey, and Isabella Ferelli. She inwardly squealed with pleasure at Serena and Nate being at her table. She waited as the other people at her table came to sit down.
Serena was first. She skipped over and sat next to Blair, gushing about all the people she had already met and how great kindergarten was going to be. Then came the boy called Daniel Humphrey. He had black hair and a serious glint in his eye that softened when he saw Serena. He sat down and stared at her a little while, then grabbed a pencil and began to write. As he was doing this, Isabella Ferelli came and sat down. She had red hair that was pulled back in a tight bun, and green eyes. In her hand she carried a black book that she sat down with and began reading without acknowledging any of them. Blair rolled her eyes at her superior attitude and gross wool skirt. Then her attention became focused on the small boy in the purple jacket she had noticed earlier. His hair was slicked back and he was wearing shiny dark leather shoes. But the best part about him was his face, handsome and chiseled. Blair almost swooned on the spot but then remembered the love of her life, Nate. Just as she was remembering him, he arrived at the table.
Nate didn't need to be analyzed for his clothes or his shoes or his hair. All that Blair needed to see was his gorgeous green eyes and his white square teeth that were visible through the smile he was shooting her. But then he saw Serena and his smile widened. Blair's face fell. Nate sat down at the table and simply said "Hey again." to Blair, and she forgot all her anger. She smiled. If possible, Nate's smile widened even more as he forgot all about the miniature angel next to Blair, and focused on her pretty smile that went perfectly with her dark brown hair.
Chuck watched their love connection with amusement. Blair was hot, and so was her friend. Even though he was only five, he liked girls. He liked girls a lot. He reached his small hand under the table and placed it on Serena's leg. Blair was too preoccupied with Nate, and Serena looked easy. When Serena felt the hand on her leg, she glanced at him and giggled. Then she pushed it off. Chuck shrugged and moved on the trying to seduce Isabella.
Blair and Nate were busy talking. Serena was bored, so she jumped into the conversation.
"So Nate, are you super excited for kindergarten like me and Blair are?" Serena chirped. "We can't stop talking about how great its gonna be."
Blair glanced at Nate, waiting for his answer and holding her breath, hoping it wouldn't be as enthusiastic as it was when he talked to her.
"Yeah, I'm really excited. I'm happy to meet new people." He answered with a side-glance at Blair.
Blair flushed with pleasure. He liked her! He really liked her! Not Serena! Now they could all be friends forever, and her and Nate would grow up and get married. They would both go to Yale, where her dad had gone, and they would live in a beautiful loft in the city and have lots of little babies. And he would give her a kiss on the cheek every night before they went to sleep, and every morning before he went to work. And on special days like her birthday, he would maybe even kiss her on the lips like her mommy and daddy did. Blair blushed and giggled at the thought. Her life would be perfect! She could see it now. But if it was, she was going to have to do good in school so she could go to Yale. And so was Nate. So she grabbed one of her perfectly sharpened pencils and begin writing the alphabet down in her book, and coaxing Nate to do the same. She could tell, this was the beginning of a beautiful thing.
