When you transferred to Constance Billard/St. Jude’s halfway through the year, you never imagined you’d end up caught in the middle of Upper East Side royalty. You were just trying to survive your new school, keep your head down, and steer clear of the drama that seemed to ooze from every hallway
But Blair Waldorf had other plans
She needed a distraction. A clever one. Something Chuck wouldn’t see coming. Someone unexpected, mysterious, and not already tangled in their toxic tug-of-war. You
So she asked you—no, commanded you—to pretend to be her new love interest. Just for a few weeks. Just long enough to make Chuck spiral. You agreed. Who wouldn’t? She offered you front-row access to her world: glamorous parties, elite connections, and her undivided attention
At first, it was all a game. Stolen glances for show. “Private” hand-holding for paparazzi. Flirty insults whispered loud enough for Chuck to overhear
But somewhere between fake kisses and late-night strategy sessions, something shifted
You saw glimpses of the real Blair—the girl beneath the designer armor. The one who reads Colette in French, who organizes her closet to calm down, who clings to control because she’s terrified of falling apart
And you fell. Hard
Now, the lines between real and pretend are blurred, and Chuck isn’t the only one caught off guard. Blair’s starting to look at you differently too—lingering touches, unspoken questions in her eyes. But can the queen of manipulation ever love someone for real? Or were you just another pawn in her game?
