responded　decisively。　She　couldn？t　leave。　He　wouldn？t　allow　it。

？They　want　to　travel　more；？　Serena　explained。　The　pink；　perfect　curve　of　her　lower　lip　trembled

dangerously。　？If　I？m　home；　they　feel　like　they　need　to　be　home　more。　Like　I　want　them　around？

Anyway；　they？ve　arranged　for　me　to　meet　some　of　the　deans　of　admissions　and　stuff。　It？s　like　I

have　no　choice。？　Nate　scooted　over　a　few　inches　and　put　his　arm　around　her。　？The　city　is　going　to

suck　if　you？re　not　here；？　he　told　her　earnestly。　？You　can？t　go。？　Serena　took　a　deep　shuddering

breath　and　rested　her　pale　blond　head　on　his　shoulder。　？I　love　you；？　she　murmured；　closing　her

delicate　eyelids。　Their　bodies　were　so　close　the　entire　Nate…side　of　her　hummed。　If　she　turned　her

head　and　tilted　her　chin　just　so；　she　could　have　easily　kissed　his　warm；　lovely　neck。　And　she

wanted　to。　She　was　actually　dying　to；　because　she　really　did　love　him；　with　all　her　heart。

She　did？　Hello？　Since　when？！

Maybe　since　ballroom…dancing　school　way　back　in　fourth　grade。　She　was　tall　for　her　age；　and

Nate　was　always　such　a　gentleman　about　her　lack　of　rhythm　and　the　way　she　stepped　on　his

insteps　and　jutted　her　bony　elbows　into　his　sides。　He？d　finesse　it　by　grabbing　her　hand　and

spinning　her　around　so　that　the　skirt　of　her　puffy；　oyster…colored　satin　tea…length　Bonpoint　dress

twirled　out　magnificently。　Their　teacher；　Mrs。　Jaffe；　who　had　long　blue　hair　that　she　kept　in　place

with　a　pearl…adorned　black　hairnet；　worshipped　Nate。　So　did　Serena？s　best　friend；　Blair　Waldorf。

And　so　did　Serena？she　just　hadn？t　realized　it　until　now。　Serena　shuddered　and　her　perfect　skin

broke　out　in　a　rash　of　goose　bumps。　Her　whole　body　seemed　to　be　having　an　adverse　reaction　to

the　idea　of　revealing　something　she？d　kept　so　well　hidden　for　so　long；　even　from　herself。

Nate　wrapped　his　lacrosse…toned　arms　around　her　long；　narrow　waist　and　pulled　her　close；

tucking　her　pale　gold　head　into　the　crook　of　his　neck　and　massaging　the　ruts　between　the　ribs　on

her　back　with　his　fingertips。　The　best　thing　about　Serena　was　her　total　lack　of　embarrassing　flab。

Her　entire　body　was　as　long　and　lean　and　taut　as　the　strings　on　his　Prince　titanium　tennis　racket。

It　was　painful　having　such　a　ridiculously　hot　best　friend。　Why　couldn？t　his　best　friend　be　some

lard…assed　dude　with　zits　and　dandruff？　Instead　he　had　Serena　and　Blair　Waldorf；　hands　down　the

two　hottest　girls　on　the　Upper　East　Side；　and　maybe　all　of　Manhattan；　or　even　the　whole　world。

Serena　was　an　absolute　goddess？every　guy　Nate　knew　talked　about　her？but　she　was　mysterious。

She？d　laugh　for　hours　if　she　spotted　a　cloud　shaped　like　a　toilet　seat　or　something　equally

ridiculous；　and　the　next　moment　she？d　be　wistful　and　sad。　It　was　impossible　to　tell　what　she　was

thinking　most　of　the　time。　Sometimes　Nate　wondered　if　she　would？ve　been　more　fortable　in　a

body　that　was　slightly　less　perfect；　because　it　would？ve　given　her　moreincentive　；　to　use　an　SAT

vocabulary　word。　Like　she　wasn？t　sure　what　she　had　to　aspire　to；　since　she　basically　had
