A few days later, Katrina got a text from Chuck asking her to meet him at Show. She really didn't want to be seen talking in public with Chuck, but she was sure that by now that it was going around that she and Chuck had something on Jason.

"Hello, Katrina." Chuck said as she walked up to him sitting in one of the V.I.P. booths. Katrina was annoyed that Chuck dressed like a 50 year old man in a nightclub while she was outfitted in a purple Balmain mini dress. "Could I offer you anything to drink?" he said holding up a glass of scotch, and she almost strangled him. Why couldn't he just leave some things alone without making it a festering sore?

"Not right now." Katrina said and Chuck smirked causing her to want to smack that smirk off of his face. "Why did you want to meet me here tonight?"

"I'm throwing a little party and I wanted to invite you."

"Well, this is an elaborate invitation…" she began. "What else do you want?" she said knowing that Chuck was up to something more than a party invite.

"I just wanted to let you know that all of Constance Billard and St. Judes is invited. Meaning Jason and Kirk will be there…unfortunate for Shane to miss a big party." he said with a mocking sympathetic tone, and Katrina rolled her eyes.

"Back off of Shane and get to the point." she demanded and he smirked.

"Fine…the point is to expose Jason's secret at the party. This will for sure bring you your justice and revenge. What do you say, Katrina?" he said as he sipped from his glass and Katrina hated the way he said her name…it felt dirty whenever he said it, and it hinted at a little bit of sexual tension between them, and that turned her stomach.

"I say…okay. We'll expose him at the party. I hope you know that when I'm done with him, I'll be moving on to you and Blair."

"I told you that I'll be looking forward to that."

"Good. So, where is Nate? I assumed that he was going to be here…that's was the only reason I was going to meet with you."

"I told him to come a little later to give us some time to talk…and…it looks like our guests have arrived?" he said smirking and Katrina was confused, but was angry when she saw Nate enter the club and Vanessa walked up to him. Katrina wondered how long Vanessa had been in there and was she in on it.

"You son of a bitch…" she said and his smirk deepened. "You are unbelievable."

"Let's just say that this will give you more of a reason to come after me. Remember…I love a good challenge…" he trailed off when he saw Nate come towards the booth with Vanessa looking a little guilty, but Katrina wasn't angry with him. Chuck would feel her rage for that little stunt he pulled, she thought. "Well, hello, Nathaniel. Ah, Vanessa it's a pleasure to see you." he said and Nate glared at him.

"Chuck, we need to talk, now." Nate said trying to hide his anger. He wasn't too happy with what Chuck did and Katrina was happy about that.

"I think whatever you have to say can wait. I mean, we're in the company of two lovely ladies. Vanessa, I'm sure you've met Katrina before haven't you?"

"Yeah…nice meeting you again." Vanessa said as she held out her hand and Katrina accepted it with a smile trying to hide the rage building inside of her.

"Likewise. Nate, could I talk to you. It won't take long, Chuck." she said as she slipped out of the booth, grabbed Nate by the hand, and led him to a quite area of the club.

"Before you say anything, I promise you that I didn't even know that Vanessa was going to be here tonight." he said as he stared into her eyes.

"Don't worry. You're not the one I'm angry with. I swear Chuck Bass is a dead man…"

"Remember what I said about having my permission to go after him? Do it. This is so fucked up, and he has to see that. So, go for it."

"Oh, I will…" she said knowing that he would never get away with this.

"We should probably get back."

"Wait! Does Vanessa know about us…dating?" she said feeling a little guilty because she knew how much Vanessa liked him.

"I'm not sure. But, that doesn't matter. I'm with you." he said as he kissed her. "Do you want to dance? It appears that Chuck and Vanessa have hit the dance floor." he said seeing that Vanessa was doing most of the dancing and Chuck was just watching her as he sipped his scotch. Sometimes, it seemed like Chuck was lusting after her…like he really wanted her beyond just using her to screw with Nate and Blair.

"Sure." Katrina said as they made their way to the dance floor and began dancing to "Sweet Dreams" by Beyonce. Nate leaned in to kiss her and she felt a flush of heat pulse through her body. Suddenly, she felt Vanessa's eyes on her. That look in her eyes chilled Katrina to the bone because she had worn that same look when she saw Nate with Serena, Blair, Jenny, and eve Vanessa. That look of jealousy, anger, hurt, and confusion.

"Katrina, what's wrong?" Nate asked her looking at her face for a sign of a problem. Then he looked in the direction she was looking and he saw Vanessa staring at them. He could tell that she was hurt, but he didn't mean to hurt her. Sure, he still cared about her, but he didn't love her…not anymore. Besides, they decided to be friends. Vanessa, abruptly, left. Katrina followed her with a failed attempt by Nate to stop her, so he followed them.

"Vanessa, wait!" Katrina said as he caught up to Vanessa.

"Congratulations…" Vanessa said trying to hide her tears. "You know…I've been hearing that you two were together for a while, and it didn't bother me before. I guess, it's kind of hard to let go when you see it in person…"

"I'm sorry…" Nate said and Katrina knew that any other girl would get angry with her boyfriend for apologizing to his ex for moving on, but she, for some strange reason, understood.

"Don't be sorry, Nate." Vanessa said smiling. "I'm happy for you and Katrina. Besides, you two are a way cuter couple than you and I were." she said jokingly, but Katrina knew she was only doing that to hide her pain. "Well, I should probably go. See you around sometime." she said as she left the club.

"Katrina…are you okay?" Nate asked unsure if she was pissed or not. He hated that he still cared for Vanessa so much, but he knew that Katrina wouldn't hate him if he was just friends with her. Though, that would be very hard, because it seemed that Vanessa wanted him back.

"Yeah…I just hated seeing her hurt like that. Damn Chuck for that."

"I didn't even know that she was here until she stopped me at the front door. I got a little suspicious when I saw Chuck smirking when he saw Vanessa approached me and he was talking to you. What was he talking about anyway?"

"He…well, we decided to expose Jason's secret at a party Chuck is throwing. The whole school is going to be there, and it's a sure way to destroy Jason. He personally invited me."

"Okay…I hope you two are sure about this." he said and she was feeling the same way.
