nice?but this was overly; cloyingly nice。
Blair grabbed a Milly NY green…and…gold brocade print dress and held it up to her body; fluffing
her newly extensioned hair with one hand。 Her new golden streaks looked amazing against the
metallic thread of the dress。 Serena came thwacking out of the dressing room; her tanned legs
extending from a short white miniskirt; turquoise flip…flops on her feet。
?Hey!? she exclaimed; walking up to Blair。 ?That?ll look incredible on you!? Blair stayed silent
as she hung the dress back on the rack with a snap of her wrist and began manically flipping
through a rack of Stella McCartney tunics。
?So;? she began; her voice casual as she turned to face her friend; ?where were you yesterday? I
called to see if you wanted to get your hair done with me; but I kept getting your voice mail。?
Serena looked at the floor; the windows; at the rows of shining; expensive dresses surrounding
them?anywhere but Blair?s face。 Did Blair know what had happened between her and Nate? Had
Nate said something? Serena didn?t think so; but she couldn?t be sure either。 She?d thought that if
she and Blair went shopping the way they used to; that everything would somehow magically go
back to normal?in spite of the fact that absolutelynothing was normal anymore。
Blair had been in love with Nate for as long as Serena could remember。 The problem was;so had
she。 And after spending the entire day and night in bed together yesterday; Serena was positive
Nate loved her too。 She tried to hide the ridiculous smile that was in grave danger of spreading

to do?but she was ecstatic to have finally won Nate?s heart。 Even if it meant breaking Blair?s。
Ugh。 Why did she always have to choose between her best friend and her boyfriend?
Um 。 。 。 because technically he?sBlair?s boyfriend?
?Yesterday? I don?t remember what I was doing;? she finally answered; looking up into Blair?s
impassive face and narrowed eyes。 Blair grabbed a black satin Dior dress and fingered the price
tag。 ?I think I just forgot to turn my phone back on?and then by the time I got your messages; it
was too late。? The haute couture department of Barneys was spare and intimidating。 Light wafted
in through floor…to…ceiling windows; warming the dark wood floor。 Not a salesperson was in
sight?Barneys prided themselves on their aloof; unpushy sales staff who turned out to be
enormously helpful; but only when called upon。 That was one of the reasons the girls liked the
store so much。 It was their home away from home。
?Huh。? Blair turned and walked at a brisk clip across the floor; her flat; delicate Dolce &
Gabbana silver sandals barely making a sound。 ?Talk to Nate lately?? ?No;? Serena answered
quickly。 ?Not at all。? Blair ran her hands along a pile of electric…orange…and…robin?s…egg…blue TSE
cashmere sweaters。 Was it just her; or was Serena acting a little jumpy? She wondered if Nate had
