Later that night Blair in her bedroom trying to pick the best 'business yet sexy' outfit for her and Chuck's meeting, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in Dorota, I need your help picking these dresses..." she said turning.

"Well I have to say I've always preferred you in your birthday suit myself." Chuck said in a drawl voice.

"Bass!" Blair exclaimed trying to cover herself up as she was just in her underwear. "What the hell are you doing here? I said six." She said as she struggled to put her robe on.

"Yes but you also said don't be late, so I thought the best way to avoid that was to be early." He said smugly as he sat on her bed.

"Whatever." Blair snapped. "So what did you find out?"

Chuck patted the top of the bed, "Why don't you come sit next to me and I'll whisper it to you?"

Blair took a deep breath, knowing that was a bad idea. The last thing she needed right now was to get up close and personal with Chuck on her bed. Instead she sat opposite him at her dresser chair..

"As you wish." Chuck said disappointedly as he pulled a file from his briefcase. "I'm sorry to disappoint you Waldorf but the teach is apparently as sweet and good as she said she is."

"What?" Blair yelled jumping up and snatching the file, scanning it furiously for any sign of potential exploitation.

"you can look all you want but there's nothing in there but charity work and extra curricular activities." Chuck said standing up. "She's too good Blair, you can't just pin anything on her, especially something that's not true."

"Argh! Fat lot of help you were!" Blair yelled. "What am I supposed to do now? She hasn't done anything wrong!"

Chuck grinned, "She hasn't...not yet anyways."

Blair looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"What we need to do is get her in a...compromising position." Chuck said his smile widening. "Something that the school would greatly frown upon. We need to play very dirty."

Blair could see where he was going with this but she didn't want to say it out loud.

"I see." She said. "Do whatever you have to Bass, just get rid of her...for good."

"Yes sir." He said with a slight laugh. "But I want something in return."

Blair wasn't surprised, she knew making a deal with Chuck Bass was never as simple as it seemed.

"And what would that be?" She asked.

Chuck looked her up and down, "Well..."

"Eurgh, your disgusting as well as delusional if you think I'll have sex with you for..." she began.

Chuck shook his head, "No not that..." then he paused, "Unless you're offering?"

Blair slapped him hard across the face.

Chuck only grinned harder, "Well I guess I'll take that as a no...or an invitation for rough play." Blair's eyes narrowed. "No it is then. What I want is to take you to dinner."

"What?" Blair asked confused.

"Dinner Blair, is the meal people usually have after lunch before the cocktails begin." He joked.

"Why?" she asked ignoring his joke.

"Well we never got to before I..."

"Ditched me for a night of drug filled partying with Jack and a couple of cheap whores." Blair barked.

"They weren't that cheap." Chuck replied. "But yes."

"No." Blair said. "I told you I'm done."

"Fine then no deal..." Chuck said. "...which means no Yale."

He made his way to the door.

"Wait." Blair said against her best judgement. "If you get rid of little miss perfect...I will have dinner with you."

Chuck couldn't help but contain his pleasure at having worn her down, "Excellent. How shall we seal the deal?" He said, his eyes wandering to her bed.

Blair tutted at him in disgust.

"How about a good old fashioned handshake then?" He said.

Blair reach out and took his hand in hers, Chuck pulled her closer to him.

"Be seeing you Waldorf." He said in a whisper.

"Happy hunting Bass." She replied.

Blair kept a low profile over the weekend, she didn't want to be implicated in whatever it was Bass was doing. Expulsion wouldn't exactly improve her chances of getting into Yale. Eagerly and nervously she made her way through the school courtyard Monday morning, there were huddles of people whispering furiously, cell phones out. Something big had obviously gone down. Suddenly Blair felt a strong tug on her arm.

"Did you do this?" Serena asked.

"Do what?" Blair answered in a state of genuine bewilderment.

"So you're saying you had absolutely nothing to do with this?" Serena asked again.

"S maybe if you told me what the hell you were talking about I might be able to give you a little more info." Blair said.

"Here." Serena said passing Blair her phone.

Blair took it and read the blog quickly;

Well well Upper East Sider's it looks like maybe teacher doesn't always know best...as the newest faculty member of Constance found out when she was quickly fired this morning. Apparently some inappropriate extra-curricular activity with a St Jude senior landed the young teach in hot water with the School Board not to mention the Law. Secret liaisons with students and then handcuffs...sounds like our kind of teacher. The identity of the mystery boy has yet to be revealed but it's a short list, which other recently orphaned billionaire has just inherited his very own five star hotel? Just something to think about the next time you get detention, they might want more than just lines...xoxo gossipgirl

Blair didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to react. She had known this was Chuck's plan but she just hadn't wanted to admit it to herself. She didn't want to think about him seducing Rachel, she didn't want to think about him with anyone else at all. She looked up Serena still glaring at her,

"Well?" she said in the judgemental tone Blair had heard from her many times before.

"Well what? Do you really think that I had something to do with this?" Blair asked innocently.

"Its a little bit more than coincidental that you have a problem with Rachel and then she's suddenly seduced by Chuck so she looses her job! Come on Blair."

"Look S I've been given the first detention of my life and ruined my immaculate record and possibly wrecked my chances of getting into Yale! Do you think I risk it all even further just to get even with some stupid teacher?" Blair yelled.

"This is you Blair." Serena said. "You love making people's lives a misery and getting even. And you hate it when someone beats you at your own game."

"Yes stupid little school girls like Jenny Humphreys, I'm not going to mess with my future over some stupid like that assignment." Blair replied. "Besides if I did want to bring the bitch down I'm sure I would be able to come up with much more creative ways that getting Chuck to seduce her."

"Really..." Serena said unconvinced. "Not like you try to do to Vanessa a couple of months ago?"

"Oh..." Blair said slightly deflated. "I didn't know you knew about that. Whatever Vanessa was different, she's fair game messing with her didn't have potentially life ruining consequences for me!" she roared, tears forming in her eyes.

Serena was obviously taken aback by Blair's emotional declarations, the tears seemed to have worked the trick as her expression softened.

"I'm sorry B its just I know how much you wanted to get even with Rachel and Chuck..." Serena said.

"Look Chuck doesn't need any encouragement from me to sleep around." Blair sniffed.

"You're right," Serena said putting her arm around Blair. "I'm sorry B I was so convinced that you had something to do with this that it didn't enter my brain how upset you would be."

"About what?"

"Chuck and Rachel, I know you said you ended it but this must still hurt." Serena said soothingly.

Blair nodded, "I just can't believe he would do this, after everything." She sniffed.

"Oh B." Serena said puling Blair into a hug.

Blair couldn't help but grin as Serena hugged her, Rachel was gone and it wasn't going to be traced back to her.

"Look B I've gotta go to class, I'll call you later ok?" Serena said giving Blair a reassuring squeeze.

Blair nodded and smiled faintly as the tall blonde wandered away. As she did Blair's phone vibrated in her pocket, she fumbled it out;

B,

Job done (literally). C u 2nite.
