Serena and Blair are in school sitting at the steps.

S: (whispers) Ok...so it was him?
B: ...Maybe.
S: Come on B...you can tell me.....what did he want?
B: What do te think!
S: Twice in one week? He must really be into te B.
B: No way! Actually he wanted to ask me a favour.
S: Ask a favour? From you? What favour?
B: Thats a secret. (she gets up)
S: (also gets up and follows Blair as she walks away) Wait! te cant keep secrets from me! Tell me!
B: No!

Blair looks back at Serena giving her a cheeky grin. She suddenly bumps into Jenny Humphrey.

B: Eeew...move....(pats her clothes down) do te not know who i am!!
J: Should I?
B: Blair Waldorf!
J: Bl..(interrupted)
B: (points her finger) Thats Miss Blair to you!
J: (nods her head and walks past) Whatever.
B: Huh (grabs Jenny's arm) Dont te whatever me! What is your name!?
S: Blair...come on let go of her....she's a freshman.
B: Exactly...the sooner we put them in their place the better.
S: (holds Blair's arm and moves her away, then whispers to Jenny) Excuse us...you can go.
B: (shouts after Jenny who is walking away) Dont forget who I am now! o you'll be an outcast for the rest of your time here!

They continue to talk whilst going to the main hall for assembly.
On the way into the hall Blair spots Chuck, He looks back at her and gives her a greeting nod, She gives him a blatantly fake smile.

After the assembly.
Blair goes to the ladies room, when she comes out, Chuck is waiting outside. He hands her a card.

B: (she takes it) What's this.
C: The wedding details, a schedule, hotel reservation details etcetera.
B: (looks at the card) Introductory breakfast, family photos...woah i am not going to be in any family photo!
C: It's part of the deal...
B: te didnt say anything about me recitazione your girlfriend....you just detto i was to accompany you.
C: Yes, as my girlfriend. Pretend girlfriend of course.
B: Why cant i just go as a friend! That is what i assumed i would be going as!
C: Blair. I asked te to come as my date. what else could that possibly mean!?
B: No, the last thing i want to do is call myself your girlfriend! Im going as just a friend. ok. thats final.
C: te dont understand Blair....there wont be any single people there....it would be shameful if i came without a girlfriend...i have cousins who would Amore the opportunity to rib me for not coming with a girlfriend. Thats the whole point of asking te to come....also, my father.....he would be very impressed if i was to present te as my girlfriend...
B: Since when was impressing your father on your list?
C: (straightens his scarf) it's not. i just thought it would be a good idea. Look im not going to keep asking you...if te dont wanna do it then fine...dont...miss out on your chance to get with Nathaniel. (proceeds to walk away)
B: Wait....i'll go as your friend...but if on the giorno i decide that te deserve it....i may let te tell people im your girlfriend.
C: Fine. I'll settle for that.
B: (she looks at the card once more, notices the hotel arrangements, its a couple theme with a double room for couples and bigger rooms for couples with children) Oh, and te can sleep on the floor.
C: I'm sure the letto will be big enough for both of us.
B: I might pretend to be civil in front of your family and Friends but im going to be the same old Blair when we're alone. You'll sleep on the floor. (she puts the card in her handbag and walks off)

Later on that day.
Blair spots Jenny talking to Isabel and Penelope.
She walks over to them.

B: (claps her hands) Hey! Hey! What is this! You! Julie! What are te doing here?
J: It's Jenny. And i was just sitting, i didnt realise this wasn't a free country.
B: (looks at Penelope) Did she just answer me back....tell me she didnt answer me back!
P: (looks to Jenny) Blair wants te to leave.
J: She didn't say that.
P: Well...that's what she meant.
J: (laughs) This is worse than public school!
Penelope and isabel gasp. Blair looks at Jenny shocked.
B: How dare you! This is Constance! Let me guess...your Brooklyn trash? Well te could come in good use...(looks at Penelope and Isabel) set up an initiation...if she sticks it out....she's in...
P: But she's freshman....we never take on freshman!
B: Do not domanda me! Set up an initiation!
J: What makes te think i wanna be part of your clique!?
B: Lets just say...its for your own good...your either one of us.....or one of them (points to a tavolo full of nerds and outcasts). Come on girls I have some shopping to do.

She walks off followed da Penelope and Isabel.
Jenny watches on.

That night. Blair is returning home from shopping. At her doorstep Chuck is waiting for her.

B: Omg What are te doing here!!! te have to stay away from me! People will see te here! Shooo!
C: Keep your knickers on, it's dark no one can see us.
B: O yeh, like the other night when no one saw te climbing out of my window!
C: It's not like they got a clear picture...no one knows it was me.
B: Well it wont be long before they figure it out if te keep mostrare up here! What do te want anyway!
C: (hands a bag over to her) These are some books....novels....my fathers favourite....read them....it would impress him if te were able to have a conversation with him....and these libri will keep the two of te talking for a long time.
B: (she looks into the bag and takes out some of the books, Leggere out aloud the book titles) Well lucky for you, i've read most of these already....
