thought　about　it　before—how　I　should　have　been　joining　teams　and

clubs。　You　know；　getting　really　into　the　school　thing。”

Blair　shook　her　head。　“I　feel　sorry　for　your　parents；”　she　said　quietly。

Serena’s　eyes　were　getting　big；　and　her　lip　was　trembling。　But　she

was　determined　not　to　let　Blair　make　her　cry。　Blair　was　just　being　a

bitch；　that’s　all。　Maybe　she　was　getting　her　period。

Serena　took　a　huge　gulp　of　her　drink　and　wiped　her　mouth　with　her

cocktail　napkin。　“So；　you　never　told　me　what　you　and　Nate　did　all

summer。　Did　you　ever　go　up　to　Maine　and　see　that　boat　he　built？”

she　asked；　pletely　changing　the　subject。

Blair　shook　her　head。　“I　had　tennis　camp。　It　sucked。”

“Oh；”　Serena　said。

They　drank　their　drinks　in　awkward　silence。

Serena　sat　up　suddenly；　remembering　something。　“Hey；”　she　said。

“You　know；　some　girl　actually　signed　up　to　help　me　with　my　movie？

A　ninth　grader。　Her　name　is　Jenny。　And　she　gave　me　an　invitation　to

that　party　next　week。　You　know；　the　one　you’ve　been　planning？”

Touché；　girlfriend。　Touché。

Blair　pulled　another　cigarette　out　of　the　pack　and　stuck　it　in　her

mouth。　She　reached　for　a　match；　pausing　before　she　struck　it　to　see

if　the　bartender　would　leap　across　the　room　with　a　lighter。　He　didn’t。

Blair　lit　the　cigarette　herself　and　blew　a　big　cloud　of　smoke　directly

into　Serena’s　face。

So　Serena　knew　about　the　party。　She　had　an　invitation。　Well；　she

was　bound　to　find　out　anyway。

“The　calligrapher；”　Blair　said；　smiling　sweetly。　“She’s　good；　isn’t

she？”

“Yeah；　she　did　a　great　job；”　Serena　said。　“And　it　was　really　nice　of

her　to　notice　that　mine　had　the　wrong　address　on　it。　She　said　the

address　you　gave　her　was　my　dorm　room　at　Hanover。”

Blair　tucked　her　hair　behind　her　ears　and　shrugged　her　shoulders。

“Oops；”　she　said；　feigning　cluelessness。　“Sorry　about　that。”

“So　tell　me　about　the　party；”　Serena　said。　“What’s　it　for　again？”

Blair　couldn’t　talk　about　the　cause　without　smiling　self…consciously

because　it　sounded　so　lame　and　unsexy。　That’s　why　she’d　named

the　party　Kiss　on　the　Lips。　To　give　it　some　allure。　“It’s　for　those　two

peregrine　falcons　that　live　in　Central　Park。　They’re　an　endangered

species；　and　everyone’s　worried　that　they’re　going　to　die　or　starve
