who would talk to her。 And then; of course; as soon as she had accepted Blair; everyone else had
been quick to follow。 Serena never had trouble finding people to worship her and copy her every
move; even back when they could barely form sentences。
Serena exhaled a cloud of sweetly scented smoke。 ?Sometimes I can?t believe we were ever that
young。?
Like they?re so ancient now。
?Iknow 。? Blair pushed her glossy dark hair off her shoulders。 ?I can?t believe we?re going to
college in a week。? She looked at the group of kids again。 Two girls were fighting over a place on
the red rope。 ?I can?t wait to get to Yale and just start over again。 Can?t you just picture it?? She
closed her eyes; smiling happily as she conjured up the freshly…mowed green grass strewn with
fall leaves and ivy…covered brick walls。 Ah;Yale。 She and Nate were going to move into a cozy
colonial house and live happily ever after。 They could even have Serena over for dinner sometimes。
She?d regale them with stories about the single life; crazy frat parties; and silly hookups followed
by morning walks of shame; and Blair and Nate would chuckle and smile at each other across the
table; smugly happy that they?d found theone and weren?t out there getting drunk and sloppy。
Serena closed her eyes too; and tried her best to put herself there; beside Blair and Nate at Yale in

normally smooth brow wrinkled in thought。Had they turned out okay? Another group of kids ran
