Blair's POV-

Who did Chuck Bass think that he was telling me that I should lay down my title as queen? Just because he was a bloodsucking creature of the night, it did not give him the right to tell me how to run my life. What did I care about some vampire female who thought that not being human gave her the right to take something I had worked so hard for? If she wanted a fight then I would give her no matter what Chuck Bass had to say about it. I wouldn't go down without a fight and as it was I doubted she could take me down even if in her opinion I was a lowly human.

"Hello beautiful." I hadn't been looking where I was going and so the voice startled me out of my thoughts. When I looked up I saw the man who had been with Chuck earlier. The same man who had been hanging out with Nate. I think Nate had mentioned his name to be Carter something. "You're Blair Waldorf right? I'm Carter Baizen a friend of Chuck's."

I rolled my eyes. "I am not sure who I feel worse for, you or Chuck."

A cocky smirk came to rest on his lips. I had been hoping to repel him with that comment, but apparently that was not to be. If anything it seemed to make him want to stick around for even longer. 'Oh I like you. You have a fire not many people possess. I am surprised Chuck didn't see it or perhaps he did and that is why he tried to make it clear that you were off limits. I find it funny that someone like you caught his attention. Though I suppose that I can see the appeal."

The way he looked at me, as if I was something to eat, or worse some kind of toy he could use for his own amusement, set me on edge. "First off I am not a thing and I don't belong to anyone, least of all Chuck Bass."

Carter gave me a look I couldn't quite decipher. "Whether you like to think so or not you do belong to Chuck Bass even if you are dating Nate. Though I wouldn't mind taking either of their places if you are looking for a new king. I hear that you are the queen of this place."

"You heard right." I replied making sure to stand up straight as I looked him in the eye the best I could. "I know your little female companion wants to be queen, but she needs to know that I will not give up my throne easily."

"I'll be sure to pass the message along." He told me as his smirked changed to a thoughtful grin. "I may even offer my services to help you keep your throne. I like a good battle of the minds once in a while and it has been so long since I have been involved in a war. You just call and I will be there at your beck and call. It is about time Georgina was taken off of her high horse. She has grown cocky and it will be nice to see her taken down a peg or two."

'I am perfectly capable of handling her on my own despite what anyone thinks." I snapped before catching sight of Chuck stand a ways behind Carter with his head tilted slightly. It was obvious he was listening in on our conversation. Well maybe I could use this conversation to my advantage? As a way to show him that I wasn't his and did not need his help. With a seductive smile I set my hand on Carter's arm. "Though if you are offering your help I won't turn it down. How would you like to come to my place after school? You can tell me everything there is to know about this Georgina girl."

He smirked as we started walking down the hallway. "What is it that I will be getting out of this besides the obvious I mean?"

I bit my bottom lip teasingly. "I guess that you will have to wait and see."

"I love surprises." He told me letting his eyes roam over my entire body.

I pretended not to notice as I looked back at Chuck. He was glaring at us and I knew he was probably throwing a fight in his mind. Inwardly I cheered. That would show him to treat me as if I was nothing more than property. I may be human, but I was still Blair Waldorf and Blair Waldorf did not belong to anyone and never would. I was my own woman and I was a powerful woman at that. I would remind everyone of that fact.

"I guess I will see you after school then." I told Carter as we approached my next class which happened to be one I shared with Chuck. I had wonder if he would actually be attending todays lesson since he was heading this way. Well this should be interesting. Leaning up on my tip toes I pressed a chaste kiss to Carter Baizen's cheek. The cold of his skin caused my lips to tingle and not in a good way. "I will be outside waiting for you, but if you aren't there five minutes after the bell rings I am leaving without you. I wait for no one."

"WI won't keep the queen waiting then." He assured me before placing a kiss on my knuckles and walking away.

I headed in to the classroom knowing full that Chuck was behind me waiting for me to notice him. I was perfectly fine with pretending that he did not exist. I would talk to him when I wanted to speak with him and not a moment sooner. Besides, it may do him some good to be kept waiting since I am pretty sure it did not happen to him very often.
