Victoria's pov. - Everybody was worried about college but I have something else to do than going off to college. I had to get done what I promised Mr. Van Der Bilt that I will take down Bree Buckley or mostly like, in my opinion, I'm gonna expose that two-faced bitch.
-
To make this plan work I needed to get out of my house oh yea I mean my parent's house, first before I continue my schemes. My place isn't even ready yet so I had to stay with chuck of course carter wasn't happy.
-
V - my places isn't even ready so can I stay here. C - so you want to hide out at the bass cave until everything sorted out. V - yeah, if it's okay with you. C - I couldn't help but notice you and carter baizen at the Van Der Bilt polo party. This doesn't have anything to do with him, does it? V - no, absolutely not. I haven't even seen him since then. C - good. Just one favor I'm having a meeting here tonight, so if you can clear out for a few hours. V- chuck, I don't mind if your dealer comes by. C - Jesse is in st. Barth's this week. This is something more legitimate. Do you know the old Art Deco bank on 72nd between Madison and park? The one that went under last month? I want to make it into a speakeasy. In the front an elegant restaurant, but down in the vault an after-hours locale devoted to indecency disreputable behavior, and all manner of debauchery. V- a kind of homage to the last time the market crashed C- the harder the times, the harder people want to party and forget about it. V- chuck this is a great idea. I can't believe Blair hasn't told me about this yet. C- she doesn't know nobody does. I just wanted to wait till I was sure it was going through. You know, my father turned his first profit by the time he was 22. I hope to do it by the time I'm 21. V- hopefully chuck.

I went out for a drink and of course, my freaking heel had to break I made my way up to chucks suite and he was middle of a meeting.
V- sorry. I'm not here. My heel broke. C- just a friend. I apologize. My lawyer excuses me. He mouths to me to get out. V- sorry for interpreting your meeting. Not at all. We were just finishing up anyway. He says. V- oh, are you leasing chuck the bank space? Mm-hmm. He has a real vision. He says. V-I know. Turning the vault into a club it's genius. C- Victoria. Excuse me? The man asks. C- he has to answer to a board, Victoria and board members tend not to approve of clubs with coat check girls who give happy endings. V- it was an honest mistake. When he was talking about your plans He cuts me off. C- look, why do you think I asked you to go out tonight? Because I knew something like this would happen. V- fine. Then I'll go. C- train wreck. I left his room I was really upset that he called me a "train wreck"

I stayed at home that night and my mom was still upset that I didn't end up going to college. I just don't care about college at the moment.
I got dressed I was going to go shopping to get my day started since I don't have anything else to do.
I started calling out to my mother but there was no response I guess no home, not even Gloria. V- what are you doing here? C- Hiram and I were just catching up but I have to prepare for a meeting tonight. He says and leaves
V- look I don't know what kind of twisted spin chuck put on things, but I wanted to talk to you about this. Daddy, I'm having doubts about going to NYU. H- well. I'm sorry about that, but to lie about leaving for college? I mean between the show you put on for the paparazzi all summer and the craziness at the polo party and this all to get my attention mija. I don't know what's going on with you. V- I know I'm sorry I lied. I just didn't want to upset y'all. H- well, at least we agree about that, which is why you can repack your things and go to NYU today. I'll have a car here within an hour. As long as your in it there's no reason for your mother to be upset anymore. V- what you gonna tell on me. I feel emotionally supported in doing this life-changing decision. H- it's not a decision. It's a mistake, which is why I'm trying to get you not to make it. V- by threatening me. Wow, daddy your making decisions for me now it's not like you went missing for 2 years all of a sudden you here like nothing happened. You know what I don't care anymore let mother know I'm not going to NYU. Thanks for the talk. I left my parent's suite I guess it was a mistake staying there the night.

Carter's pov.

I was walking around the city and I get a phone call from Victoria. C- what do you want? V- hey I was wondering if you want to go out tonight. C- I thought you were at nyu. V- no I'm not. After I hang up with you, I will be withdrawing my admission. There's nobody I'd rather celebrate with. So are you in or out? C- see you tonight. She hangs up.
Later that night we met up at our favorite bar. C- to you. NYU's loss is my gain. V- thank you. C- you know, when you called, I tried not to answer. Great. Chuck bass, let's get out of here. V- no. Come on. Since when do you run away from chuck bass? It looks like he's having a business meeting. This could be fun. She pulls me up where bass was having his meeting. V- no way. Chuck- Victoria, carter, this isn't a good time. V- well, then let's make it one. C- what's wrong chuck? Aren't you happy to see us? V- you know, carter and I were just sharing our favorite chuck bass stories. There were so many we had to break them into categories. What were we up to international affairs? C- oh, there was a time when, uh, chuck and the Italian ambassador's son were asked to leave an Amsterdam brothel. Now that's an accomplishment. Chuck- simple misunderstanding. None of us spoke any Dutch. V- oh my gosh. Is this a business meeting? I'm sorry if you sense any tension. Those two don't like each other that much cause they share the same taste in women. Sometimes they share the actual women. Chuck- that's enough. C- so what's this business meeting about, bass? Still, trying to fill your daddy's shoes? V- yeah, chuck, come on. Tell him about your idea. Chuck- I'm opening a restaurant. V- yeah, that's what he's telling people, but downstairs, in the vault, he's creating a club. What did you say? You wanted to redefine decadence? Chuck- you wanted to ruin my deal, so you came here and brought Carter Baizen as your wingman. I told Hiram about NYU because I was concerned for you. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
Chuck leaves and I just noticed that Victoria just used me for her own good. I walked away from her and I went to pay the bill.
V- carter wait C- so that's the whole reason you wanted me to go out with you tonight you knew I'd help you screw over chuck. V- chuck had screwed me over or at least I thought he had. I wanted to get him back. C- Victoria, listen to you. What's your deal? You're acting out cause daddy doesn't love you? Is that why you skipped out on NYU, too? V- please C- no I told you how I felt, and you blew me off. Until you need someone to do your dirty work. It's time to find a new bad habit. Cause it's not gonna be me anymore. Or maybe if you prefer to go back to Archibald. I say and walk away from her.
