" So its settled, to make more money the school will be having a bake sale. I know its childish and some of you may think Its stupid but we don't care what you think" the teacher exclaimed while the teenagers boo'de.

"So anyways, this is the way we'll be getting more money like it or not. You'll have a chance to team up with a partner" Blair looked at Dan. He wasn't paying attention to her, but to the teacher. She felt like teaming up with him. She wanted to ask him to be her partner, but she knew he'll turn her down just to team up with Serena. Plus it will ruin her Relationship with Nate just when it had begun.

Not only that but it will start gossip and it will end up in Gossip girl. She could just imagine what it would say: Blair Waldorf asking Dan Humphrey to be her partner. But why? She just started to date the hottest guy in school Nate Archibald once again, and now asking Serena's boyfriend to be her partner? I smell a new couple warming up; maybe even a cat fight, who knows?

Ugh, just thinking about it made her stomach ache. She didn't like Dan, she liked Nate. She thought she did atleast; what was going on with her? She then saw Dan turn to her. He saw her. Her eyes opened wide, but instead of turning around, she kept looking at him. He made a face and then waved. She smiled. He then turned back to the teacher, and so did she.

She took a deep breath. His smile made her get a warm feeling inside. The kind of feeling she use to get when Nate smiled at her. But now, that had changed. She only had that feeling with Dan right now.

She hates it. She wanted to destroy that feeling of hers. "You and whoever you team up with will have a chance to bake whatever you like, whoever sells most, will earn a prize" that's where the teacher caught everyone's attention. One had shot up. "What's the prize?" no surprise it was Chuck Bass. "You'll see once whoever wins, don't ruin the surprise now. Alright ! You all have 5 minutes to ger a partner." Blair then saw everyone get up and find a partner; everyone but her. She stayed sitting down. Wondering if Nate was going to her.

She looked at Dan to see if he had found a partner; and there he was with Serena. "Ugh" she said under her breath, "what's wrong?". She looked to her side, it was Nate. She smiled. "Hey, um, nothing. So we're together in this right?" she then saw a frown on Nate's face. "Actually Blair, im here to tell you that im teaming up with Chuck, im real sorry, I hope you don't think its an excuse to not be partners with you. Because you know I love you and I want this relationship to work out and all, Chuck just wants me to be his partner and-" Blair stopped him right there.

"You don't have to give me a whole explanation to tell me why you're not my partner for this. I could just get a new partner like a friend or something. A part of being a good girlfriend is being understanding and giving her boyfriend space. And since im working hard to make this relationship work and be a good girlfriend, I have to do just that. So Nate, don't worry about it, I completely understand."

She was proud of herself after saying that, who knew being so mature and so good will make her feel so good; however, letting the dream she had take over her was not being so mature.

Nate smiled at her, and then kissed her. "I like the new you, it really shows you want to make this work. It makes me love you even more." he smiled and kissed her again, then he went to Chuck.

Blair smiled at herself.

But now, she had no partner.

She looked at Dan, he was with Serena still.

..

"So I just want to be partners with my friend for this okay? Its not that I don't want to be partners with you and you know it" Dan just stared at her. He really wanted to team up with her, he wanted to take this opportunity to see her more often, but that eventually was not going to happen.

"Um, its fine Serena it really is" he was trying to be as understanding as possible; but it was hard to be understanding when he really wanted to be with her for this.

After all, if he can't be partners with her, who is he going to be partners with? He didn't have many friends, and he doubted if he asked a stranger to be his partner the stranger would say yes.

"Awe, you're mad at me! Please don't be!" she kissed him and kissed him and kissed him. He wasn't mad at her. Just disappointed.

"Im definitely not mad at you. Especially not with all those awesome kisses you just gave me" she giggled.

"So you're okay with this?" "Of course" he lied. She kissed him again, "im sooo lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend!" he smiled. And then she left.

Now that problem was, who was he teaming up with?

..

Blair felt a bit of anger after seeing Serena give Dan all those kisses. But why?

She never felt like that. She keeps repeating.

Maybe it was jealousy because she's never had a relationship like that? Or was it jealousy because she's not able to give Dan kisses like that? NO. It was not that. That has to be impossible. She will never feel that way, never.

"Alright ! Time is up. Who ever does not have a partner please stand up" here comes embarrassment Blair thought. She stood up, and then, surprisingly, so did Dan. Her eyes opened wide. Wasn't he with Serena? "Okay so, you both have no chance but to team up together, like it or not. It's only fair and the way its suppose to be. If you two don't know each other, well it's the perfect chance to get to know each other."

Blair smiled at Dan. He made a strange face. She knew what he was thinking. Why is does she keep smiling at me? Obviously because Blair has never looked, or smiled at Dan so much before; she hasn't even paid much attention to Dan before anyways.

The bell rung and it was time to go. Blair got her things and tried to catch up with Dan. "Hey Dan ! Um, yeah you're probably bummed about being my partner and all because you probably want to be with Serena and all but-" Dan stopped her.

"Blair, what's going on? You've been staring at me lately, smiling at me, now you're acting all innocent and nice around me. Okay look, if you're using me for some kind of scam or something, I don't want to be part of it and-" "no! Its not like that at all trust me. Im just trying to be nicer and im trying to change, you know? And starting with trying to be a better girlfriend to Nate and trying to be nicer to you because, since we've known each other, well, I haven't been that nice to you and im trying to change that."

Dan looked at her for a while. She really had no idea what was going on. She just wanted to be nice to Dan. Real nice. The dream was more effective then she thought. "Um, okay Blair, im going to believe you but if I find out its some kind of scam then-" "you won't" she smiled "I promise" he then smiled at her. "Okay, so for the project, do you mind bieng at my house like at 5 or so?" "Sure" 'great" he then walked away.

And she smiled,

she couldn't believe the way she had just acted.

..

That was a weird situation for Dan.

Blair Waldorf, trying to change, being nice to him, it was all too sudden and strange. He wanted to believe it but he didn't.

It was all too difficult to believe. "Dan!" Serena's voice echoed from the school hallway.

"Hey" he said to her. She gave him a quick pop kiss and then said

"so, about our walk to the park. Change of plans, since this whole project thing came up, im going to be working late with my partner so I wont be able to go. Hope you're not mad?"

"Oh no no, im not im going to be working late with Blair and all too anyways, so it doesn't really matter, maybe next time?"

"Of course!"

she kissed him and then skipped away.

His night was officially ruined.
