kissing。　She　paused　and　held　out　her　hand；　as　if　to　a　child。　Then　Nate　appeared；　looking　happily

disoriented。　Jenny　put　her　arm　around　his　waist；　and　he　turned　and　kissed　her　eagerly　on　the

mouth；　as　if　her　lips　were　made　of　chocolate　or　something。

？Oh！？　Serena　exclaimed；　as　if　she？d　been　pinched。　She　blinked　her　dark　blue　eyes；　trying　to

ascertain　whether　she　was　truly　hurt　or　just　surprised。　It　had　never　felt　right；　her　and　Nate　being

together。　And　it　would　be　better　to　be　single　this　summer　so　she　could　focus　on　the　film。　At　least

now　she　wouldn？t　have　to　bother　breaking　up　with　him。　Not　that　they？d　ever　really　been　together。

No；　not　really。

？Typical；？　Blair　scoffed。　She　shook　a　Merit　Ultra　Light　out　of　her　pack　and　handed　it　to

Serena。　？Don？t　be　mad。　He　can？t　help　himself。？

Serena　took　the　cigarette　and　propped　it　between　her　lips；　waiting　for　Blair　to　light　it　for

her。　？I？m　not　mad；？　she　sighed；　feeling　relieved。　For　once；　she　and　Blair　were　bonding　over　Nate

instead　of　fighting　over　him。　It　was　a　wele　change。　？So；　will　you　loan　me　that　for　the　movie？？

She　pointed　at　Blair？s　cigarette　holder。　？Although　I？ll　probably　set　my　ass　on　fire　if　I　try　to　use　it。

I？m　such　a　klutz。？

Blair　loved　it　when　Serena　put　herself　down。　It　gave　her　hope。　？Of　course　I　will。？

Instinctively　the　two　girls　turned　as　someone　careened　toward　them　from　across　the　room。　Nate？s

face　was　slack；　his　green　eyes　were　huge；　and　his　body　seemed　more　loose…limbed　than　usual。　He

came　at　them　with　his　arms　open；　grabbed　Serena；　and　pulled　her　into　an　even　gooier　kiss　than

he？d　just　given　Jenny。　Serena　giggled　and　pushed　him　away。

？Natie！？

But　he　was　unflappable。　Letting　go　of　Serena；　he　reached　for　Blair；　pressed　his　wet　lips　against

hers　and　sort　of　inhaled　her　entire　mouth。

？What　the　fuck？？　Blair　exclaimed；　stepping　backward　to　free　herself。

Nate　just　stood　between　the　two　girls；　smiling　like　the　luckiest　guy　on　earth。　？We？re　all　too

beautiful；？　he　said　by　way　of　explanation。　？I　can？t　stop　kissing　us。？

Blair　met　Serena？s　gaze。　Yes；　Nate　was　acting　strange。　He　was　off　his　tits；　as　they　say　in　England。

Still；　there　was　something　infectious　about　his　puppylike　exuberance。　They？d　just　graduated　today。

Why　not　act　a　little　strange？　And　why　not　kiss　everybody？　Some　of　them　might　never　be　together

again。

And　some　of　them　were　going　to　be　together　quite　a　lot。

？You　want　to　see　something　really　cool？？　Blair　asked；　cocking　her　right　eyebrow　in　a　way　that

all　the　underclassmen　at　Constance　had　spent　hours　trying　to　imitate。

She　stepped　forward　and　put　her　hands　on　Serena？s　bare　shoulders。　Immediately；　Serena

understood　what　they　were　about　to　do。　The　two　girls　smiled；　their
