One warning though, I have seen a lot of spoilers and while I'm not working off of those some of them may appear in my story because they fit too perfectly not to. But from here on out I am pretty sure my story differs enough that I am on my own.

Rated: T mostly for language. This one isn't really M but it is a pretty high T lol.

Nate looked down at his phone and laughed. Was Gossip Girl bored or what? This was so unlike her to do something like this. She was so curious to find out who Penelope was kissing that she offered that big of a prize. He had a feeling that this might be annoying. With a prize this good everyone was going to be trying to figure out who was hooking up behind the school which meant that people would probably figure it out and start looking for him. But so what if they did, it wasn't like he had any loyalties anymore.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Chuck and Blair found each other immediately. Both of them knew how important this was and they didn't even have to communicate in order to know to go to Chuck's place near the front wall. Blair didn't even care that she was missing class. This was quite possibly the biggest break that they had had all summer. If one of them could figure this out AND find proof, then they were safe from Marcus. Unless Marcus was home from Yale and could physically see them, he wouldn't know if they were together. They would be able to control Gossip Girl.

Chuck and Blair didn't say much at all when they found each other. A few silent nods was enough to know that they were on the same page. "Who?" Blair asked. This shouldn't be too difficult. Between the two of them they knew the ins and outs of the entire school.

"Andy St. Clair" Chuck suggested.

"No, remember he is a part of that Pure Teens group." Blair pointed out.

Chuck made a face. How could someone be a part of something so very wrong. Being a teenager was about having those experiences not stifling their manhood.

"I think it could be Landon Madison. Penelope was always impressed that he is one of James Madison's decedents." Blair suggested.

"No, he's in my first period and he was definitely in class this morning but Mike Dominic wasn't." Chuck replied in his very definitive way.

"No" Blair shook her head.

"Why?"

"Penelope thinks he has bad breathe."

"Okay. James Beckland."

"Ha, no." Blair said with a smirk and a giggle all in one.

"Why this time Waldorf?" Chuck said a little annoyed.

"Beckland is injured down there." Blair replied. "His doesn't properly operate right now."

"And you know this how?" Chuck said, turning until his side was against the wall instead of his back so that he could properly see her. He was more than a little jealous, he couldn't help it.

"Hazel tried to hook up with him this summer apparently." Blair said with a wave of her hand as a dismissal of the topic. She normally would have teased Chuck with the fact that he was obviously jealous but they were against the clock in this one. "Well if it's no one from either of our first periods who else could it be?"

"How about someone from the swim team, we haven't named any of them?" Chuck suggested. He was glad Blair didn't know about James from experience. Beckland was an alright guy and Chuck didn't want to have to kill him.

Blair rolled her eyes, "Chuck, they are at the Olympic Games remember. The whole team went to see Dawson swim. But what about someone inside the circle, maybe Carter Braizen."

"Can't be," Chuck answered. "Carter doesn't have this year's St. Jude's blazer and that is what the guy in the picture is wearing."

"Oh. So that eliminates all the alums. But speaking of what the guy was wearing," Blair said her eyes suddenly lighting up. Chuck knew that she had noticed something important. " Chuck, it's someone on the Lacrosse team." Blair reasoned. She was excited now.

"May I again ask why?" Chuck said now interested but still a little skeptical.

"Because the shoes, Chuck. Nate has the same one's, you know the one's he wears like everyday to get out of wearing loafers, but I mean the whole Lacrosse team has them."

"Wait a second" Chuck paused, no way could his newest suspicion be right. It wasn't possible, . . . was it? "It could be Nate." Chuck said, his mind working through the possibility and it becoming more and more probable in his head.

"Psh, no way." Blair said, not even considering the possibility. "This is Nate we are talking about, not you Chuck."

Chuck faked being injured. Grasping his hand over his heart like he had been stabbed. "Blair, I'm hurt." But then Chuck was serious again. "No but think about it, really. Was Nate wearing his Lacrosse sneakers today?"

Blair thought for a minute."Yeah, I think so, yeah he was." Blair concluded. After a moment more she added. "And there's no practice today because the coach wife is sick," Blair said as Andy St. Clair passed them in loafers.

"BINGO." Chuck said. With more than a smirk on his face, it was a smile, a big one.

"Nate's in Calculus." Blair replied with a smirk as she started flouncing her way up to the school.

"Wait, it's the first day of school and you know Nate's schedule." Chuck was yet again noticeably upset.

"Chill out Chuck, I made it last spring when he and I were together. Did you actually think I still followed him around or something?" Blair smirked turning back at him as she paused on her way into the building.

"Well, you know, I'm still getting use to this, okay Blair." Chuck responded suddenly serious. "You've never been my girlfriend before, hell nobody has, and I'm still not totally use to the fact that you are with me and not him."

Blair's smile faded just a little before she stepped up facing him and leaned in until her mouth was right at his ear. Where she said in a husky voice that she knew would calm Chuck's insecurities. "The only guy I want to follow around is you." Before quickly turning and heading into the school.

Chuck was breathing heavily. Damn she turned him on. He quickly followed her into the building though because as much as he wanted to grab her and call the limo, this right now was more important.

A challenge. Nate was bored. He had had every woman he wanted all weekend long and it was starting to get old. They all just swooned for him. So now he wanted a challenge no right now he needed a challenge and it just so happened that Nate Archibald knew exactly where to find one. Jenny Humphrey wouldn't want to give him the time of day now because of how he treated her so he decided to skip calculus and go find her.

He knew that she would be in the library. It was her study hall and she had her only little nook all the way in the back behind the stacks. When he approached, Jenny was deeply engrossed in some sort of art project. It looked like she was filming herself with one hand while sketching with the other. . So he walked up behind her and bent down next to her ear before saying in a low voice. "Hey Jen."

Jenny jumped almost right out of the seat and her camera fell to the floor. Her first instinct was to smack the person who had scared her but since she was too frightened to actually have noticed the voice she decided to turn her head and find out. When she realized that it was Nate who had scared her, she wished she had gone with her first instinct and smacked him.

"Whoa Jen, don't be scared it's just me." Nate said stroking her shoulder.

Jenny jumped up. "Don't touch me Nate."

Nate stepped towards her with his hands up in a surrender of sorts. "Hold up, Jen, I'm not going to hurt you I would never hurt you." He was excited, this was fun, like a game of cat and mouse.

"Bullshit Nate, you already did. I let you have part of me and you . . . You threw it away. So I'm asking you to leave me alone." What was he thinking. After the way that he had treated her this past weekend. No way was she going to just let him push her around. But she was close to tears and really didn't want him to see her cry. Last semester she wouldn't have minded, in fact Nate use to be the person that she went to when she couldn't handle everything else that was going on in her life. He centered her and now he had turned into some kind of jerk. In fact he reminded her a lot of the old Chuck Bass. But soon enough the tears were spilling over and she just wanted her Nate back.

"Jen, don't be like that. This weekend, I was drunk and messed up over Serena." Nate tried his best to look apologetic. He thought that he almost saw her crack, she looked almost ready to forgive him, he could tell that she wanted to.

"Come on Jen, I'm sorry." Nate said in a low voice as he slowly moved closer and wrapped his arms around her.

Jenny didn't know what she was doing, why was she letting him hold her. She was suppose to hate him but she couldn't help it. She wanted the safety and security that Nate use to symbolize for her. So she let him hold her and comfort her. She let him make her forget that he was the reason that she was upset in the first place.

Nate just held her for a minute. This had almost been too easy. He wanted a little more of a challenge so he decided to push her. To see how far she would go before snapping. So he tightened the hug a little and began moving his hands up and down her back. Her head was tucked into his chest and he bent his own done and started kissing her neck .

It took Jenny a minute to respond. What was Nate doing? But when she felt his mouth on her neck she tried to pull away. "Quit it Nate."

He didn't let her get away. He was still testing her limits. "Come on Jen, haven't you heard what happens in the stacks of the library. It's like the mile high club but for Constance and St. Jude's. " Nate said continuing to kiss her neck and letting his hands roam.

It felt good, to be doing this. Nate had the ability to make her feel things no other boy had even come close to. He was her first and only and this felt so good. His kisses so totally perfect, that she let him.

Nate was kissing her full force by now, then he ran his hands down to her thighs. She had on a short skirt and he let his hands go up it. He grabbed her thighs and lifted her, until she was straddling him. His hands were supporting her thighs as he continued to kiss her ferociously.

Chuck pulled Blair out of Mr. Croaton's Calculus Class. She was going off on the teacher even as he pulled her into the hallway, shutting the door as he went. "What do you mean he's not in here? It's the first day of school and you are already tolerating skipping. What kind of teacher are you?" Blair scolded.

Chuck shut her up by pushing her against the wall and kissing her. Once she was subdued he pulled back. "Quite the tiger aren't you." Chuck smirked.

Blair hit his shoulder before maneuvering away. "We can't do that in public yet Chuck. Someone could see."

The reality of what she said hit him and he was back to business. "So any other guesses as to where our fallen Prince Charming might be."

"No," Blair replied, "but I do need to go give something to Jenny, you could come with me if you want, she's in the Library." Blair said in her sweet innocent voice.

"You don't even have to ask B, if you're there, I want to be there too." Chuck said completely serious. He kissed her hand before they walked on towards the library.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

When Nate nibbled on her bottom lip, Jenny suddenly flashed back to the other night, when she had lost her virginity to a guy that she thought she just might love and woken up to insensitive jerk. Something snapped in her, and Jenny started struggling. Kicking her legs and trying to pull away from Nate.

As Jenny started to fight, Nate couldn't help but think, that was his girl, he had wondered where the real Jenny had gone and who this girl was letting him take advantage of her in the library of all places. But he was turned on now and more than a little angry that she had let him get this far only to start resisting now. Girls were confusing. So he didn't automatically let her go.

Jenny was angry now, at Nate for doing this again, and at herself for letting herself be put in this situation. She finally managing to get her legs back on the ground and pushed Nate away. "God, Nate, you are just like Chuck use to be. What happened to you?"

"You know Jen, maybe I want to be that way. Maybe I'm tired of being boyfriend material. Maybe it's my turn to sleep around with maids, pop underclassmen's cherries, and fuck bitches like Penelope behind the school. Maybe I don't want to be nice anymore." Nate said in a low harsh voice.

Jenny gasped, Nate was the guy, behind the school with Penelope. That was just gross and no matter how good that had just felt she couldn't go there again. Who knew how many girls he had been with in this weekend alone. But she could tell, something was broken in Nate right now and there was nothing that she could do to fix it. So she glared at Nate before she walked over to her bag and started throwing stuff in it. Which is exactly what she was doing when Nate grabbed her from behind.

"Jenny, stay. I'm not done yet." Nate said in the same dangerous voice.

At which point, Blair came running around the corner, hearing the noise from a few stacks back. "Get your hands off of her Nate."

Chuck stepped out as well and simply walked over to Nate and grabbed his arm. "Come on man, lets go. You don't want to go there."

Nate let Chuck lead him away, but not without a lingering look back at a disheveled Jenny. He couldn't help but think that she looked hot standing there with messed up hair and lips red from kissing. He somehow wanted her more now than ever. Was this what it was like for Chuck with Blair. Did he want her because he wasn't suppose to have her, is that what led to his obsession? Nate didn't know and he wasn't entirely sure that he cared.

As Nate and Chuck left the library, Blair helped fix up Jenny's appearance. Before putting the rest of the things in her bag. "Come on J, lets go shopping at Barney's." Blair said locking her arm in Jenny's and smiling over at her completely forgetting the contest. Friends were more important.

Jenny looked at Blair and returned the smile. What neither girl realized was the blinking red camera light flashing from inside the bag.

Tsk tsk my little socialites, I was expecting a better effort on your part. It's been three hours and I haven't even had a single suggestion for who our mystery man is. I'm so disappointed in all of you that I'm modifying your prize. The immunity still stands but only in the sense that you have veto power. The veto power was originally unlimited, I was feeling so generous two hours ago, but now it's down to two a day which is a weekly total of fourteen. For every hour that you don't figure it out the prize is going to decrease by two vetoes per week. So get on it UES the clock is ticking.

you know you love me

xoxo
