Bill never understood why Blair disliked him, but her inexplicable hatred made him dislike her just as much. Luckily for them, they come to realise it was all just a misunderstanding.
REDAMANCY
(n.) the act of loving someone that loves you; a love r...
Me and Alice were in her bedroom, getting ready for the first party of the winter break. I sat in her mirror, doing my makeup, while she got dressed.
"Be honest," she said, turning to face me. I looked up at her in her dark purple dress. Alice and I were pretty different in her styles, but I always thought she looked really cool.
"Go on," I said.
"Do I look good?"
"Alice, you always look good, and you always know you do. Is something up?"
"No, nothing's up, I'm still super confident and stuff, I just- Doesn't matter."
"Is there someone you're trying to impress?"
"Maybe."
I smirked, not saying anything more. I knew that if Alice wanted to talk about what was going on between her and Dan, she'd be the one to mention it. For now, she seemed to be keeping it pretty quiet. I finished off my makeup and we were both ready to go, getting a taxi to the house.
When we got there, it was already booming, and Alice's eyes instantly scanned the crowd as though she was looking for someone. She smiled when she saw Dan, who was stood with Tom, Bill and Felix.
Both of us walked over and greeted all of them, Alice's gaze lingering on Dan before she finally started a conversation with her. Considering she was busy, I turned to Bill.
"Hey," I said.
His lips instantly contorted into a grin. "Hey. You look nice."
"You think? I don't think my outfit is very party-ish."
"Yeah, but party-ish is, like, skinny little dressed and high heels. You can't really wear that when it's snowing. I'm surprised you're not cold in what you're wearing already."
"You just said I look nice."
"You do! You just look cold, too."
"I'm fine. It's hot in here, lots of people. I think I need some alcohol in me, actually."
Bill laughed and walked over to the fridge.He came back with two bottles, one of cider and one of beer. I took the beer.
"You didn't strike me as a beer drinker."
"I'm not, but it has more alcohol than stupid cider."
Bill watched as I opened the bottle with my teeth.

BILL'S POV December 5th, 2007
I watched as Blair opened the bottle with her teeth. It was impressive, and almost out of character for Blair, but I didn't mind, it was incredibly hot.
"Why are you staring?" Blair asked as she sipped her beer.
"Just- You have strong teeth." Blair let out a small laugh.
"Thats an interesting compliment, Bill. I'm gonna go and find my other friends. Come and find me if you need me to use my 'strong teeth' for a bottle."
I smiled as she left. All I could think about was how good she looked in that tiny skirt. She was offering to use her teeth to open my bottle, while I was thinking about all the ways I could use my own teeth in her.
I felt a presence next to me, not having to look to know it was my brother.
"I'm so fucked, man," I said.
"Oh, I know. You're, like, infatuated."
"Infa- Where did you learn that word?"
"Felix."
"Makes sense. Anyway, you're right. I don't know how this happened."
"I thought it was just lust."
"So did I! I mean, at first it really was only sexual attraction, but now that me and her are friends- She's just so sweet, Tom, and beautiful. But why? I've never liked anyone like Blair."
"Maybe that's why it's never worked out."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't get me wrong, Bill, all three of your exes were hot as hell, but they were total party animals. I know Blair likes to party, but your exes, they were on another level. And what did they end up doing?"
"Well one cheated."
"Mhm. And the others barely had time for you because they were with at a party or recovering from a party. But Blair's a good girl. She gets good grades, even in chemistry now thanks to you. She's sweet. She actually does stuff."
"What do you mean does stuff?"
"She doesn't spend all her time getting drunk and doing drugs. Her and Alice go for picnics, or for dinner, or have movie nights. That's where you went wrong with the other girls, you had no quality time, but you can have that with Blair."
"I don't know if Blair would want that with me, though. Her only boyfriend turned out to be an asshole, she may not be ready for another relationship. And if she is, it probably would be with someone like me. I'm nothing like Toby."
"I'm pretty sure you being nothing like the guy who cheated on her and lied to her for three years is a good thing."
"I mean physically, Tom. We're total opposites."
"Maybe she likes that." Tom shrugged.
"I don't have much hope. It doesn't matter though, I'll get over her."
By the look on his face, I could tell Tom didn't believe what I was saying. I couldn't blame him, though, because neither could I. There was no getting over a girl like Blair Schroeder.
a/n: promise i'll bring gustav and georg into this soon, it's a little difficult bc a lot of scenes take place in school (except the tutor sessions which are just between values and bill), but they're gonna start hanging out outside of school soon so i'll make sure to include the other 2 boys in that
