subject　matter。　？Well；almost　。　He？s　engaged。　He？s　been　engaged　since　he　was；　like；　ten　years　old。

You　know；　like　Lady　Diana　and　Prince　Charles？？

Blair　spun　away　from　the　mirror；　her　fists　clenched　tightly　to　keep　from　strangling　Isabel？s

ostrichlike　neck。　？And　where　exactly　did　you　hear　that？？

Isabel　shrugged　her　shoulders　maddeningly。　？Everybody　knows。　It？s；　like；　afact　。？

Depending　on　your　definition　of　the　wordfact　。

？That？s　the　stupidest？？　Blair　was　about　to　try　and　defend　Lord　Marcus？s　honor；　but　she　stopped

herself。　They　were　young；　they　were　in　love？who　cared　what　anyone　thought？　Even　if　therewas

some　boring　girl　back　in　England　that　Lord　Marcus　was　supposed　to　marry；　she　probably　looked

like　Queen　Victoria　and　sat　on　her　fat　ass　in　her　castle　eating　crumpets　all　day；　wondering　why

Lord　Marcus　never　called。

Isabel　smiled　at　her　reflection；　finally　satisfied。　？I　just　thought　you　should　know。？　She　shrugged

her　shoulders　and　then　cocked　her　overwaxed　eyebrows　at　Blair。　？Wanna　e　have　a　cigarette

with　us？？　she　offered；　as　if　they　were　all　still　thirteen　years　old　and　only　smoked　in　groups。

？No。？　Blair　pushed　past　her　and　out　the　bathroom　door。　She　peeked　into　the　insanely　crowded

lounge；　but　the　chair　where　she　and　Lord　Marcus　had　been　sitting　together　was　now　occupied　by

Nate？s　loud；　stoned；　skinny　friend　Jeremy　and　some　skanky　French　girl　trying　to　teach　him　how　to

blow　heart…shaped　smoke　rings。　Lord　Marcus　was　nowhere　to　be　seen。　Blair　fingered　the　Bvlgari

pearl　choker　and　teetered　down　the　hall　to　the　elevator。

All　night　she？d　wanted　to　get　Lord　Marcus　alone　in　his　suite。　Now　was　her　chance。

D　is　mr。　popularity

？So；　it　looks　like　it？s　unanimous。　Daniel　Humphrey；　you？re　our　graduation　speaker　this　year；？

announced　Dan？s　Riverside　Prep　senior　homeroom　teacher；　Mr。　Cohen；　head　of　the　history

department；　who　insisted　the　boys　call　him　Larry。

？Huh？？　Dan　looked　up　from　the　poem　he　was　scribbling　in　his　ever…present　black…leather…bound

book。　The　poem　was　called　？my　highway？　and　was　all　about　the　incredible　journey　Dan　was　about

to　embark　on。　Since　there　was　nothing　keeping　him　in　the　city；　he？d　decided　to　leave　early　for

Evergreen　College；　where　he　was　going　in　the　fall。　He？d　already　applied　for　a　summer　job　there

through　the　college？s　employment　office　Web　site。　And　right　after　graduation；　he　was　going　to

drive　all　the　way　there　to　Olympia；　Washington。　If　he　ever　got　a　car；　or　even　learned　how　to　drive。

Oops。

Dan　had　decided　to　model　himself　after　Jack　Kerouac　when　he　was　writingOn　the　Road　。　On　his

journey　west；　he？d　hook　up　with　the　most　gorgeous　local　girls　in　every　town；　try　exotic　new　food

and　drink；　like　peyote　and　two…hundred…proof　tequila；　and　make　detours　to　bizarre　local　attractions；

like　caves　with　hundred…foot…long　stalactites　and　bleeding　rocks；　or　a　cow　with　quintuplets。　He？d
