yellow　pee　behind　it　in　the　white　snow。　Well；　it？s　nice　to　knowshe　hasn？t　changed。　

May　your　Valentine？s　Day　be　filled　with　adoration；　pampering；　and　a　pair　of　gorgeous；　
tiny…heeled　Jimmy　Choo　sandals　that　are　pletely　useless　in　this　weather。　Just　remember：　You　
are　totally　worth　it。　


You　know　you　love　me。　

　gossip　girl　

the　icing　onb　？s　cake　

All　Monday　morning　Blair　had　been　dreading　peer　group。　Not　that　she　minded　talking　about　
hooking　up　with　boys；　or　peer　pressure；　or　whatever　else　the　freshmen　wanted　to　talk　about。　After　
all；　today　was　Valentine？s　Day；　soeveryone　at　Constance　was　talking　about　hooking　up　with　boys。　
What　she　dreaded　were　all　the　questions　the　ninth　graders　in　the　group　were　going　to　ask　Serena　
about　walking　the　runway　in　the　Les　Best　show；　what　it　had　been　like　to　hang　out　with　all　those　
famous　models；　and　blah；　blah；　blah。　They？d　probably　ask　about　her　stupid　I　
LOVEAARONT…shirt　and　what　was　going　on　with　her　and　Aaron；　becausethey？d　heard　blah；　blah；　
blah。　As　if　it　was　all　so　very　interesting。

　Not。　

Why　was　it　that　the　world　was　so　full　of　followers　when　there　were　so　many　choices　in　life？　
Blair　slipped　an　extra　slice　of　chocolate　cake　onto　her　tray　just　to　make　sure　she？d　have　something　
to　do　while　the　girls　in　peer　group　were　boring　her　to　death。　

？Hello；？　she　practically　yawned　when　she　sat　down　at　the　crowded　table　a　few　minutes　after　the　
group　had　begun。　？Sorry　I？m　late。？　

？That？s　okay；？　Serena　replied　gaily。　She？d　gotten　a　plimentary　trim　and　highlight　job　before　
the　fashion　show；　and　her　long　blond　hair　was　even　shinier　and　more　perfect　than　it　had　been　
before。　？We　were　just　talking　about　Elise？s　parental　problems。　She　thinks　her　dad　might　be　having　
an　affair。？　

Elise？s　thick；　straw…colored　bangs　were　pulled　back　and　clipped　to　the　sides　of　her　head　with　tiny　
pink　heart　barrettes。　There　were　dark　circles　under　her　bright　blue　eyes；　like　she？d　been　up　all　
night　worrying。　？That　sucks；？　Blair　said　sympathetically。　？Believe　me；　Iknow　。？　She　decided　to　
leave　it　at　that。　Peer　group　might　have　been　a　place　for　sharing；　but　she　wasn？t　about　to　go　into　the　
details　of　her　father？s　affairs　with　other　men　while　he　was　still　married　to　her　mother。　

Serena　nodded　vigorously。　？I　was　just　telling　them　how　all　families　are　totally　fucked　up。　
Actually；　Blair；　your　family　is　a　perfect　example；？　she　added　cheerfully。　

Blair　bristled。　？Thanks　a　lot；？　she　shot　back。　？But　I　don？t　think　everyone　needs　to　hear　about　my　
problems　right　now。？　


Jenny　bit　a　cuticle　and　banged　her　foot　nervously　against　the　leg　of　her　chair。　She？d　been　fretting　
all　morning　that　as　soon　as　peer　group　started；　Elise　was　going　to　dive　right　in　and　start　talking　
about　same…sex　kissing。　Thank　God　Elise　had　other　things　on　her　mind。　

？Anyway；　we　don？t　have　to　talk　about　our　messed…up　families　if　it？s　going　bother　you；？　Blair　
told　Elise；　trying　to　be　supportive。　

Elise　nodded　unhappily。　？Actually　therewas　something　else　I　wanted　to　talk　about。？

　Jenny　winced。　

　Oops。　

Blair　nodded　encouragingly；　？Yes？　What　is　it？？　Vicky　Reinerson　waved　her　hand　in　the　air。　She　
was　wearing　a　red　wool　cape　similar　to　the　one　Serena　had　modeled　in　the　Les　Best　show；　except　
hers　was　a　little　used　looking；　like　she？d　borrowed　it　from　her　grandmother　or　something。　

Guess　she　didn？t　get　the　message　that　capes　are　back　in　style　thisfall　；　not　this　spring。　

？Oh；　but　after　she？s　done　will　youplease　tell　us　all　about　the　Les　Best　show；　Serena？？　Vicky　
pleaded。　？Youpromised　。？　

Serena　giggled　as　if　she　hadtons　of　crazy　stories　to　tell。　Blair　wanted　to　smack　her。　？The　craziest　
thing　was　that　I　had　a　snowball　fight　with　Les　Best　himself　and　I　didn？t　even　know　it　was　him！？　
Serena　glanced　at　Blair；　who　was　glaring　at　her。　？Anyway；　I？ll　save　it　for　the　end；　if　there？s　time。？　
She　turned　back　to　Elise。　？What　was　it　you　were　saying？？　

Elise？s　face　turned　purple　as　a　plum。　？I…I　wanted　to　talk　about　kissing；？　she　stammered。　？About　
kissinggirls　。？　

Jenny　kicked　the　legs　of　Elise？s　chair。　Mary；　Cassie；　and　Vicky　snickered　and　nudged　each　
other？s　elbows。　This　was　going　to　be　good。　A　rumor　had　gone　around　awhile　back　that　Blair　and　
Serena　had　kissed　each　other　in　the　hot　tub　in　the　hotel　suite　Chuck　Bass？s　family　kept　downtown　
in　the　Tribeca　Star。　

？I　think　anyone　should　be　able　to　kiss　anyone；？　Serena　replied。　？Kissing　is　fun！？　

Blair　forked　a　giant　piece　of　chocolate　cake　into　her　mouth；　trying　to　e　up　with　something　to　
top　what　Serena　had　just　said。　？Guys　like　to　watch　girls　kiss；？　she　declared　with　her　mouth　
full。　？They　do　it　all　the　time　in　the　movies；　just　to　turn　guys　on。？　This　was　true。　They？d　even　
talked　about　it　in　Mr。　Beckham？s　film　class。　

？So　Serena；　whatwas　it　like　to　wear　all　those　cool　Les　Best　clothes？？　Jenny　asked；　desperate　to　
change　the　subject。　


Serena　stretched　her　long；　lithe　arms　over　her　gorgeous　blond　head　and　sighed　happily。　？You　
really　want　to　know？？　

Everyone　in　the　group　except　Blair　and　Elise　nodded　eagerly。　？Okay；　I？ll　tell　you。？　

Blair　rolled　her　eyes；　daring　herself　to　shut　Serena　up　by　announcing　the　news　of　her　torrid　affair　
with　a　married　thirty…eight…year…old　man；　which　was　a　hell　of　a　lot　more　interesting　than　prancing　
around　on　a　runway　in　dumb　clothes　no　one　wanted　to　wear　anyway。　She　glanced　down　at　the　
table　where　Elise　was　furiously　scribbling　her　name　over　and　over　on　a　sheet　of　notebook　
paper。Elise　Wells。　Miss　Elise　Wells。　Miss　Elise　Patricia　Wells。　E。P。　Wells。　

Suddenly　Blair　felt　the　entire　contents　of　her　stomach　do　a　back　walkover　into　her　throat。Wells？　
That　wasOwen　？s　last　name。　And　Elise　had　just　said　she　thought　herfather　was　having　anaffair　。　
Owen　hadn？t　said　anything　to　her　about　a　daughter；　but　now　that　she　thought　about　it；　Elise　had　
his　same　eyes；　and　on　the　stoop　Elise　had　lit　two　cigarettes　exactly　the　same　way　Owen　had　Friday　
night　in　the　bar。Christ　。　For　all　Blair　knew；　Owen　hadten　children　that　he？d　just　happened　to　forget　
to　mention。Fuck！　

Blair　scraped　her　chair　back　and　bolted　for　the　nurse？s　office　behind　the　cafeteria；　getting　there　
just　in　time　to　spew　chocolate　cake　all　over　Nurse　O？Donnell？s　hand…hooked　farmhouse　rug。　It　
wasn？t　pretty；　but　it　was　the　quickest　way　to　get　sent　home　sick　from　school。　

As　soon　as　she　left；　the　cafeteria　began　to　hum　with　the　sound　of　girls　trading　versions　of　what　
was　wrong　with　Blair　Waldorf。　

？I　heard　she　has　some　rare　disease。　She　lost　all　her　hair。　That？s　really　a　wig；？　announced　Laura　
Salmon。　

？I　heard　she？s　pregnant　with　some　old　guy？s　kid。　He？s　married　to　a　member　of　the　royal　family　
and　he　wants　to　marry　her；　but　his　wife　won？t　give　him　a　divorce；？　Rain　Hoffstetter　explained。　

？Oh　my　God。　So　she　and　her　mom　could　like；　have　babies　at　the　same　time！？　Kati　Farkas　
shrieked。　

？She？s　not　pregnant；　stupid。　It？s　her　eating　disorder；？　Isabel　Coates　told　the　girls　at　the　same　
table　in　a　confidential　whisper。　？She？s　been　struggling　with　it　for　years。？　

At　the　peer　group　table；　Serena　unwittingly　set　the　record　straight。　？She？ll　befine　just　as　soon　as　
she　finds　out　she？s　into　Yale。？

When　last…period　French　was　finally　over；　Nate　Archibald　bid　a　hasty？　demain　to　his　St。　Jude？s　
School　classmates　and　hurried　up　Madison　Avenue　to　the　pizza　place　on　the　corner　of　Eighty…sixth　
Street；　the　workplace　of　his　dependable　pot　dealer；　Mitchell。　Lucky　for　Nate；　St。　Jude？s　was　the　
oldest　boys？　school　in　Manhattan　and　had　kept　its　tradition　of　ending　the　school　day　at　2P。M。　for　
both　lower…　and　upper…school　boys；　even　though　most　of　the　other　city　schools　let　out　at　4P。M。　The　
school？s　reasoning　was　that　it　gave　the　boys　extra　time　to　play　sports　and　do　the　copious　amounts　
of　homework　they　were　sent　home　with　every　afternoon。　It　also　gave　them　plenty　of　time　to　kick　
back　and　get　high　before；　during；　andafter　they　played　sports　and　did　their　homework。　

The　last　time　Nate　had　seen　Mitchell；　the　wisecracking　Kangol　hat？wearing　dealer　had　said　he？d　
be　moving　back　home　to　Amsterdam　very　soon。　Today　was　Nate？s　last　chance　to　score　the　biggest
