different lives。 Blair looked over at Serena; who was sitting at a table next to Chuck and his
disgusting primate。 On the other side of the table were Kati and Isabel; Isabel perched on a chalky
white fake…statue model?s lap。
At least someone?s enjoying the party!
Serena turned and caught Blair?s eye。 She grabbed a plate from the table in front of her and
pretended to strum it like she?d played the tennis racket in the picture; putting it back down again
and giggling。 Then she blew Blair a kiss。
Blair laughed; then sniffled。 For the first time in their lives; she and Serena wouldn?t be able to
walk over to each other?s houses whenever they felt like it; or sit on the steps of the Met gossiping
for hours。 Soon she and Nate would be at Yale; living together like real grown…ups; and Serena
would be here in the city; busily being the next big thing。 Blair shook her head; bewildered by
how much things had changed in what really was so little time。
Serena watched Blair?s foxlike profile as the slide changed in time to Eleanor?s pletely
ridiculous music selection。 On…screen; Serena; Nate; and Blair were ten years old; eating
Fudgsicles in Central Park on Blair?s favorite navy blue Yale blanket。 Nate sat cross…legged while
the girls perched precariously on each of his knees。 Serena?s eyes filled with tears at the
realization that even back then; they were sharing him。
Sharing is caring; right?
As much as things had changed; some things had always been the same。 She looked around for
Nate and spied him standing near the Met?s front doors; his gaze locked on the screen。 She raised
her hand and waved; trying to get his attention; but he didn?t see her。 She grabbed the snowy
white tablecloth in her fist and squeezed the material between her fingers as Chuck?s white
monkey climbed onto her arm and began picking at her blond hair。
?Sorry;? Chuck whispered; removing the monkey from her shoulder and placing it in his lap。 ?If
you don?t behave??he wagged his index finger in the monkey?s face??I?m sending you to the zoo。
And I think we both know they don?t have cupcakes and champagne there。? Vanessa watched the
screen; surprised to see her own enormous face smiling down at her as an image of her
Williamsburg apartment appeared。 Her shaved head was tilted toward Blair?s shining brunette
mane; their tongues stuck out at the camera; near…white polish gleaming on Blair?s nails as she
held one hand up in the peace sign。 Vanessa smiled; still clinging to Dan?s hand as she waited for
the next slide。
?It?s so weird that you guys were roommates;? Dan muttered。
?Totally;? Vanessa whispered。 But even though they still had nothing in mon; Vanessa was
glad she and Blair were friends。 As
