behind her。 Then she smiled up at Serena; and shook her head。 
“Sorry; I can’t;” she said。 “I’ve got activities every single day after 
school。 I don’t have time。” 
“Oh; e on; Blair;” Serena said; grabbing Blair’s hand。 
“Remember; we always wanted to do this。 You wanted to be Audrey 
Hepburn。” 
Blair removed her hand and folded her arms across her chest; 
glancing at Isabel and Kati again。 
“Don’t worry; I’ll do all the work;” Serena added hastily。 “All you 
have to do is show me how to use the camera and the lighting and 
stuff。” 
“I can’t;” Blair insisted。 “Sorry。” 
Serena pursed her lips to keep them from trembling。 Her eyes 
seemed to be growing larger and larger; and her face was turning 


splotchy。 
Blair had seen this transformation in Serena many times as they 
grew up together。 Once; when they were both eight; they had 
walked the three miles from Serena’s country house into the town 
of Ridgefield to buy ice cream cones。 Serena stepped out of the ice 
cream shop with her triple strawberry cone with chocolate sprinkles 
and bent down to pet a dog tied up outside。 All three scoops fell 
splat into the dirt。 Serena’s eyes had grown huge and her face 
looked like she had the measles。 The tears had just started to roll; 
and Blair was about to offer to share her cone with Serena; when 
the shop owner came out with a fresh cone for her。 
Seeing Serena on the verge of tears once more touched something 
deep inside of Blair; like an involuntary impulse。 
“Um。 But we’re going out on Friday;” she told Serena。 “Drinks 
around eight at the Tribeca Star; if you want to e。” 
Serena took a deep breath and nodded。 “Just like old times;” she 
said; staving off her tears and attempting a smile。 
“Right;” Blair said。 
She made a note in her mental PalmPilot to tell Nate not to e 
out on Friday now that Serena was ing。 Blair’s new plan was to 
knock back a few drinks with Serena at the Tribeca Star; leave early; 
go home; fill her room with candles; take a bath; and wait for Nate 
to e。 And then they’d have sex all night long to romantic music。 
She’d already burned a sexy CD to play while they did it。 
Even the best…bred girls resort to cheesy things like burning CD 
mixes when they’re losing their virginity。 
The bell rang and the girls went their separate ways to class; Blair 
to her AP Academic…Achievers afternoon; and Serena to her plain old 
Kraft…American…Slices classes。 
Serena couldn’t believe she had just been rejected not once but 
twice in the last ten minutes。 And as she gathered her books from 
her locker; she tried to e up with a new plan of action。 She 
wasn’t going to give up。 
Her picture wasn’t on the side of a bus for nothing。 

Vanessa skipped the first five minutes of Calculus to call Daniel on 
his cell phone。 She knew he had Study Hall fourth period on 
Thursdays; and he was probably hanging out outside; reading 
poetry and smoking cigarettes。 A girl was using Constance’s pay 
phone in the hallway by the stairs; so Vanessa slipped outside to 
the pay phone on the corner of Ninety…third Street and Madison。 
The lower…school boys were playing dodgeball in the Riverside Prep 
School courtyard; so when his cell phone rang; Dan was sitting on a 
park bench in the traffic island in the middle of Broadway。 He’d just 


cracked open L’Etranger; by Albert Camus; which he was reading in 
French class that term。 Dan was psyched。 He’d already read the 
English translation; but it felt especially cool to read the French 
original; especially while sitting outside drinking bad coffee and 
smoking a cigarette in the middle of noisy; smelly Broadway。 It was 
very hard…core。 As people walked past in a hurry to get somewhere; 
Dan felt aloof and removed from the chaos of everyday life; just like 
the guy in the book。 
Dan had dark circles under his eyes because he hadn’t been able to 
sleep the night before。 All he could think about was Serena van der 
Woodsen。 They were starring in a movie together。 They were even 
going to kiss。 It was too good to be true。 
Poor dude; he had that right。 
His cell phone was still ringing。 
“Yeah?” Dan said; answering it。 
“Hey。 It’s Vanessa。” 
“Hey。” 
“Listen; I have to make it quick。 I just wanted you to know that I told 
Marjorie she has the part;” Vanessa said quickly。 
“You mean Serena;” Dan said; flicking his ash and taking another 
puff of his cigarette。 
“No; I mean Marjorie。” 
Dan exhaled and clenched the phone tightly。 “Wait。 What are you 
talking about? Marjorie; with the red hair and the gum?” 
“Yes; that’s right。 I haven’t got their names mixed up;” Vanessa said 
patiently。 
“But Marjorie stank; you can’t use her!” Dan insisted。 
“Yeah; well; I kind of like that she stank。 She’s sort of rough around 
the edges。 I think it will make it feel edgier; you know? Like; not 
what you’d expect;” said Vanessa。 
“Yeah; definitely not;” Dan sneered。 “Look; I really think this is a 
mistake。 Serena totally ruled。 I don’t know why you wouldn’t want 
her。 She was awesome。” 
“Yeah; well; I’m the director; so it’s my choice。 And I chose Marjorie。 
Okay?” Vanessa really didn’t want to hear about how awesome 
Serena had been。 “Besides; I keep hearing all these stories about 
Serena。 I don’t think she’s all that reliable。” 
Vanessa was pretty sure that everything she’d heard was 
pletely bogus; but it couldn’t hurt to mention it to Dan。 
“What do you mean?” Dan said。 “What kind of stories?” 
“Like she manufactures her own drug called S; and she has some 
pretty bad STDs;” Vanessa said。 “I really don’t want to deal with 
that。” 
“Where’d you hear that?” Dan said。 



“I have my sources;” she said。 
A bus roared up Madison on its way to the Cloisters。 On the side of it 
was a massive photograph of a belly button。 Or was it a gunshot 
wound? Scrawled in blue girly writing on the side of the poster was 
the name “Serena。” 
Vanessa stared after the bus。 Was she losing her mind? Or was 
Serena really and truly everywhere? Every last bit of her? 
“I just don’t think she’s right for us;” Vanessa said; hoping Dan 
would e around if she used the word “us。” It was their movie; 
not hers。 
“Fine;” Dan said coldly。 
“So; are you ing out with me and Ruby in Brooklyn on Friday?” 
Vanessa asked; eager to change the subject。 
“Nah。 I don’t think so;” Dan said。 “See ya。” He clicked off and 
tossed the phone angrily into his black courier bag。 
That morning his sister Jenny had stumbled into his room; her eyes 
all bloodshot and her hands covered in black ink; and dropped an 
invitation to that stupid falcon party on the floor beside his bed。 
He’d actually dared to think that since he was going to be Serena’s 
costar; he might actually take her to the goddamned party。 Now; 
that little dream was all shot to hell。 
Dan couldn’t believe it。 His one chance to get to know Serena was 
gone because Vanessa wanted to exercise her artistic license to 
make the worst film ever made。 It was unbelievable。 More 
unbelievable still was that Vanessa; queen of the alterna…rebel 
scene; had actually stooped to spreading rumors about a girl she 
barely knew。 Maybe Constance was finally rubbing off on her。 
Oh; don’t be a spoilsport。 Gossip is sexy。 Gossip is good。 Not 
everybody does it; but everybody should! 
A bus stopped at a light right in front of him。 First Dan noticed 
Serena’s name。 It was scrawled in blue; in messy girl’s handwriting 
on a giant black…and…white poster of what looked like a rosebud。 It 
was beautiful。 

Jenny was a zombie on Thursday from missing a whole night’s 
sleep; but she’d gotten the Kiss on the Lips invitations done; and 
now she and Dan each had an invitation of their very own。 
She was starving; too; having consumed only a banana and an 
orange for dinner the night before。 She’d even skipped her morning 
chocolate…chip scone。 So; at lunch; Jenny wrangled two grilled 
cheese sandwiches and two coffee yogurts out of the Constance 
lunch ladies and carried her feast out into the cafeteria; hunting for 
a seat at a quiet table。 While she ate; she had to make up the 
homework she’d skipped last night。 


Jenny chose a table in front of the wall of mirrors on the far side of 
the cafeteria。 None of the older girls liked to eat lunch by the 
mirrors because it made them feel fat; so that table was always 
empty。 Jenny put her tray down; and was about to start stuffing her 
face when she noticed a sign…up sheet taped to the mirror。 
Jenny lunged for her backpack to find a pen。 She scribbled her 
name at the top of the list—she was the first one to sign up!—and 
then sat down in front of her heaping tray of food; her heart 
pounding。 Life was full of miracles。 It just got better and better。 
More miraculous still; Serena van der Woodsen herself was ing 
out of the lunch line and making a beeline for Jenny; carrying her 
tray。 Was Serena actually going to sit with her? In person? 
Deep breath in; deep breath out。 
“Hi;” Serena said; beaming at Jenny and setting her tray down。 
God; she was beautiful。 Her hair was the pale gold color some of the 
other Constance girls tried to achieve by spending four hours in the 
hair salon on the top floor of Bergdorf Goodman getting their 
highlights done。 But Serena’s was natural; you could tell。 
“Did I just see you sign up to help with my movie?” Serena asked。 
Jenny nodded; speechless in the presence of such greatness。 
“Well; you’re the only one so far;” Serena sighed; sitting down 
across from Jenny; facing the wall of mirrors。 She didn’t have to 
worry about feeling fat when she ate。 She didn’t have any fat。 She 
raised her golden eyebrows at Jenny。 “So; what can you do?” 
Jenny poked at her grilled cheese。 She couldn’t believe she’d gotten 
two sandwiches。 Serena probably thought she was a disgusting pig。 
“Well; I’m pretty artistic。 I did the school hymnals; you know; in 
calligraphy? And I’ve got some photographs in Rancor this year; and 
a short story;” Jenny explained。 
Rancor was Constance’s student…run arts magazine。 Vanessa 
Abrams was the editor。 
“Oh; and I just did the invitations for that big party next week that 
everyone’s going to;” Jenny said; eager to impress。 “Blair Waldorf 
asked me to do them。 Actually 。 。 。” Jenny reached into her bag and 
pulled out an envelope with Serena’s name printed on it in ornate 
calligraphy。 “The guest list Blair gave me still had your boarding 
school address。 I was going to put it in your locker or something;” 
Jenny said; blushing。 “But now that you’re here 。 。 。” She handed the 
envelope to Serena。 
Do I sound like a stalker? Jenny wondered。 
“Thanks;” Serena said; taking the envelope。 She opened it and read 
the invitation inside; her eyes dark; her forehead creased in a frown。 
Oh; God。 She thinks it’s ugly! Jenny thought; panicking。 
Serena put the invitation in her bag and picked up her fork again; 


looking distracted。 She took a bite of lettuce and chewed on it。 
Jenny was taking mental notes on how to act as mysterious; poised; 
and cool as Serena was acting at that very moment。 If only she 
could have heard the livid thoughts in Serena’s head; railing against 
Blair。 


She didn’t want me to e to the party。 She didn’t even tell me
there was a party。
“Wow;” Serena said finally; still munching her lettuce。 “Okay; you’re 
hired。” She held out her hand and smiled sweetly at Jenny。 “I’m 
Serena;” she said。 
“I know;” Jenny said; blushing even redder。 “I’m Jenny。”

S AND B: HOT IN THE HOT TUB! 

This just in from an anonymous source: Apparently; back when they 
were still tight; S and B shared a hot hot…tub moment together in 
C’s suite in the Tribeca Star。 Was the kiss an expression of their 
true feelings for each other? Or were they just messing around like 
two silly drunk girls? Either way; it definitely adds a little tension to 
the mix。 What fun! 
And in case you haven’t seen the
