？Okay。？　Fiona　hitched　her　ugly　green　backpack　up　on　her　shoulder。　？I？ll　e　back　and　get　you

in；　like；　an　hour　and　ten。　We　can　get　bagels　in　the　caf？　and　I？ll　show　you　my　room。？

Whoa；　sounds　like　a　party。

Jenny　was　already　sure　she　was　never　going　to　see　Fiona　again　because　Fiona　was　going　to　get　so

caught　up　in　her　irregular　verbs　or　whatever；　she？d　forget　all　about　how　she？d　left　Jenny　with　the

coolest；　worst…behaved　girls　at　Hanover。　She　pulled　a　tube　of　Chanel　Stroppy　lip　gloss　out　of　her

bag　and　smeared　some　on。　Then　she　stepped　inside　the　mon　room。　？Hi；？　she　announced

shyly。　？I？m　Jennifer。　I？m　visiting　from　the　city？　I　go　to　Constance　Billard？you　know；　where

Serena　van　der　Woodsen　went？？　She　knew　it　was　lame　to　mention　Serena　right　away；　but　she

wanted　these　girls　to　know　that　she　was　cool；　that　she　was　one　of　them。

One　girl　with　short　black　hair　and　beautifully　painted　Chanel　Vamp　toenails　glanced　her　way　but

then　looked　quickly　away　again。　Other　than　that；　no　one　seemed　to　hear　what　she？d　said。　The

wood　paneling　in　the　mon　room　gave　off　an　amber　glow；　and　the　oriental　carpet　beneath

Jenny？s　feet　was　in　perfect　condition。　She　felt　like　she　was　in　the　den　of　some　old　mansion　rather

than　in　a　school。

？So；　I　hear　Hanover　can　get　pretty　crazy　sometimes。　At　least；　that？s　what　Serena　told　me；？　Jenny

babbled　on；　still　standing　in　the　doorway　like　an　idiot。　She　wanted　to　make　it　very　clear　that　she

didn？t　just　knowof　Serena。　They　were　pals。

？Shush；？　whispered　a　beautiful　blond　girl　with　legs　so　long　and　so　tan；　they　looked　fake。　？You？re

going　to　get　us　in　trouble。？

Hello？Since　when　were　Hanover　girls　worried　about　getting　into　trouble？

？Sorry；？　Jenny　muttered　meekly。　She　sat　down　in　an　empty　leather　chair；　wincing　at　the　noisy

farting　sound　it　made　when　her　bare　legs　rubbed　against　it。　She　placed　her　faux　Louis　Vuitton　bag

primly　on　her　lap；　wishing　she？d　at　least　thought　to　bring　a　book。　Out　of　the　corner　of　her　eye；　she

caught　the　girl　with　short　black　hair　checking　her　out　once　more。　Jenny　pulled　an　old　receipt　from

Duane　Reade　out　of　the　side　pocket　of　her　bag　and　then　hunted　for　the　stubby　Hello　Kitty　pencil

she？d　had　since　fifth　grade。

What？s　the　deal？　I　thought　Hanover　was　supposed　to　be　totally　WILD；　she　scribbled　on　the　back

of　the　receipt。　Then　she　folded　up　the　receipt　and　daringly　tossed　it　in　the　short…haired　girl？s　lap。

Less　than　a　minute　later　the　receipt　came　back　with　blue　pen　all　over　it。Well；　basically；　the　little

episode　with　your　friend　Serena　（who　used　to　be　my　neighbor　here　in　Riley？when　she　was　actually

around）　ruined　everything。　After　getting　rid　of　her；　they　instituted　the　disciplinary　code；　which

basically　says　that　if　you　tell　on　your　friends；　you　get　privileges。　There？s　so　much　incentive　to　tell

on　your　friends　that　no　one　ever　does　anything　worth　talking　about　anymore。　This　place　is　totally

dry；　quiet；　and　B。O。R。I。N。G！！！　I？m　a　senior；　though；　so　I？m　outta　here？YAY！

Jenny　looked　up　from　the　note　and　studied　the　other　girls　in　the　room　more　carefully。　One　of　the
