( A Kiss From a Pauper? )

I found inspiration from the two words, Isolate and Vanity. Isolate is from Dan's point of view and Vanity is from Blair's point of view.

Inspiration word: Isolate

Lonely Boy.

Dan thought it was ironic how much that moniker fit him. Every since he could remember he’d always been the loner in the bunch.

When his parents had taken to kindergarten, he had forgone sitting around the circle with his fellow classmates to listen to the story. Nope. Instead he’d sat at a table doodling his name in big print letters. He didn’t know why he always avoided people.

But it wasn’t until he’d met the non-judging Breakfast Club that he felt like he really had friends. Serena had helped him open his heart. But their off and on relationship kind of made his withdrew a bit. Then he’d gotten to know Blair.

He didn’t know what it was about her. But she made him laugh and she wouldn’t allow him to withdraw into a corner. Thanks to the Upper East Side’s princess, the kid from the wrong side of the tracks didn’t feel so isolated anymore. And for that, he was forever thankful.

Inspiration word: Vanity

You’re so vain…

She couldn’t believe Humphrey. How dare he call her vain? Clearly he didn’t know about the various charities she donated to. She even went and volunteered at the Salvation Army. And Lord knows, it took her forever to find that place.

She didn’t know why she was so upset about Humphrey’s assessment of her. Who did he think he was? You didn’t talk like that to Blair Waldorf. At least not to her face!

But she had to admit Humphrey was right in a way. She knew she was vain. Why, she checked her compact mirror every ten minutes. She didn’t step outside the door without carefully choosing her outfit. But that’s what it took for Blair to be Blair.

She needed to relax a little. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a plain white tee and a pair of 7 for all Mankind jeans and a diamond headband. This was as casual as she could allow herself to be. Maybe she’d go see Humphrey and see what he thought?
