I let out a huge sigh, things had not been going well on the destroy Jack front. Everything had failed so far. There was a knock on the door as I was getting ready to go.

"Come in!" I called and Dan entered "Oh you are a sight for sore eyes." we kissed

"Still no luck removing you nightmare uncle." he wondered holding onto my waist in comfort.

"No, and while Chuck feels like bunking off once more to do whatever he does while bunking off. I need school and some normalcy that I can only get from learning." I state with my arms looped around his neck.

"Well good, because I was thinking we could walk together, get some coffee and muffins. Today is Yale day." he let out a nervous breath.

"You're gonna get in, I know you are." I assured him

"Thank you. I keep telling myself everything happens for a reason. I'll end up in the right place but what if I don't get it" he bit his lip

"Huh they'll be more of a cosmic reaction if Serena gets in and Blair doesn't. That is what we should be worrying about." I snort, he would walk it but the battle between friends was was was really worrying.

"Fire, brimstone and a lot of bitchy asides? Death by dorota?" I laughed at his comment

"What will happen, will happen. We just have to roll with the punches. Speaking of, how is the share a sibling to not share a sibling?" We left and started walking

"About as much fun as it brought my Dad and Lily closer together. At least they're keeping it on the down low." he phone beeped and he looked at it "Or not. That was Serena, her Mom was caught trying to sneak my Dad out."

"Oh wow, they're rusty. I bet we could show them a thing or two." i joke he didn't laugh "Too soon?"

"Kind of yeah." he answered

"Oh tonight is the Annual Opera Charity  thing. As a co face of my fathers company I have to show my face, I was hoping you would join me." We crossed as we headed for the subway.

"Opera's not really my thing."

"Mine either, I don't want to but if I'm gonna face the old cronies on the bored of directors again, might as well do it in a stunning dress." I smile in the face of a boring night.

"Ugh, you twisted my arm. I'll rent a tux." he agreed

"At this rate with everything we attend you'll need to buy one to have it on stand by. Oh maybe we should go shopping." I suggest clapping my hands slightly.

"Do we have too?" he groaned

"You said it yourself you've had a surprisingly good time at events like these. Please, it's my treat and seen as it's not a birthday or christmas or anything like that there is not spend limit. Please." I pout.

"okay, okay. I yield . I might as well anyway"

"It won't be that bad, besides in the long run you might actually save money. Or I will doesn't matter, let's go." When we arrived at school we were about to go in

"Who's the new kid?" Dan questioned as we made our way to the front door

"That's no kid, that's Ms Carr she teaches Serena, Blair and I Shakespeare. Serena is obsessed with her." I answered

"That's Ms Carr. Does she have Benjamin Button syndrome?" I chuckle

"Here let us help you." I say as we hold open the door

"Thank you Rosalie. It's like holding a door never occurred to anybody." she replied ad we held the door open and she heading inside holding a bunch of stuff

"No not on the upper east side. These kids never touch a door." Dan joked

"They just magically open for them don't they?"

"I take mild offence to that." i reply and we head inside "This is my boyfriend Dan Humphrey. Dan, this is Ms Carr Serena's ultimate favourite teacher."

"Serena's spoke a lot about you. Though I wasn't expecting you to look...."

"Out of place?" she cut him off

"I was gonna say young. You could pass for a student" Dan replied

"Well I was until recently. I've been doing teach for America for the past two years in Alabama. This is my first salary job. I'd never even be to New York before. It's a lot Different than Des Moines." my phone rang it was Chuck

"Oh thank god. excuse me." I stepped away to answer the call "Chuck, news from the home front."

"Proving to be more difficult than we first imagined." he told me "Jack is wising up to our attempts"

"Well then maybe we need help. Go to Lily." I tell him.

"Absolutely not."

"Aw that wasn't a question. Go see her, talk to her and be nice. We need our allies." I hung up I head back over to Dan

"Good Luck for today."

"Thank you." I kissed him then went to meet up with the girls in the courtyard. Serena was already there.

"So Yale day. Are you as nervous as Dan?" I wondered

"A little, but I hope it goes to Blair." Serena replied. She had a nervous twitch to her today which wasn't surprising.

"I know, speaking of." Blair and the underlings walked over to us Blair joined us sitting down. It was oddly quiet.

"What are you guys doing?" Serena wondered

"Shh. Don't talk to them, they're working. Refresh." she ordered them and they kept doing so. A notification came through

"Oh my god." the all breathed

"What? What is it?" Serena and Blair checked their phones. "I'm sorry, I simply can't read it, the font's to small. I'll have to check it on a real computer." Nelly took Blair's phone

"It says waitlisted in bold." Nelly smirked. Dan came running over

"I got in, i did it! I got in!" he told me and I squealed hugging him

"Congratulations. I'm happy for you." I put on my best smile. Though really I was disheartened at the thought of a long distance relationship. With me going to NYU and him going to Yale.

"What about you Serena?" I asked remembering

"Um I am waitlisted just like Blair." I nodded If she got in I may have a problem.

"I need to see the headmistress. Right now!" she yelled
