Buckle　up？you？re　in　for　a　wild　ride！

better　late　than　never？

Serena　was　once　again　lying　in　her　all…white　bed　staring　at　the　ceiling；　trying　to　sleep　now　that

she？d　finally　admitted　how　she　really　felt。　The　ceiling　was　pockmarked　where　she？d　peeled　off

dozens　of　glow…in…the…dark　stars　just　before　she　left　for　Europe；　and　she？d　been　counting　the

remaining　stars　for　the　last　three　hours；　ever　since　she？d　slipped　the　note　into　the　Aston　Martin。

She　kept　losing　count　and　starting　again。　And　maybe　she？d　dozed　off；　or　maybe　not。　Henry　shifted

onto　his　side；　throwing　his　arm　across　her　chest。　It　felt　heavy　and　suffocating。　She？d　already　been

in　this　exact　place；　exactly　a　year　before：　in　love　with　Nate；　but　lying　next　to　Henry。　She？d　even

admitted　it　and　gotten　it　off　her　chest；　so　why　couldn？t　she　sleep？

Second　thoughts？

She　slid　out　of　bed　for　the　second　time　that　morning　and　slipped　into　the　hallway。　Downstairs　a

few　people　were　clanking　bottles　into　the　trash　and　whispering　about　their　headaches。　From　the

grandfather　clock　downstairs　she　heard　that　it　wasn？t　morning　anymore　at　all：　it　was　exactly　noon。

She　yanked　at　the　long　white　T…shirt　she　was　wearing。　It　said　BROWN　in　capital　letters　across　her

chest　and　hung　below　her　knees。

She　didn？t　even　know　where　she　was　walking　until　she　got　there；　but　she　soon　found　herself　in

front　of　her　parents？　closed　bedroom　door。　She　knew　that　Blair　and　Nate　were　inside。　They？d

probably　made　a　fort　out　of　the　many　oversize　pillows　on　the　bed；　which　Blair　had　dubbed　the

Kissing　Cave　or　something　cheesy　。　。　。　or　totally　adorable　if　you　were　in　love。Which　Nate

was。With　Blair。

So　what　was　Serena　doing　declaring　her　love　for　him　now？　There　were　so　many　other；　better

times　she　could　have　told　him　in　the　last　year。　Like　when　they　were　nearly　naked　in　a　Bergdorf？s

dressing　room。　Or　when　they　were　kissing　in　the　bathtub　at　Isabel　Coates？s　Hamptons　house。　Or

when　she？d　decided　not　to　go　back　to　boarding　school　and　came　back　to　the　city　instead。　But　she

hadn？t。　She　hadn？t　told　him　any　of　those　times；　mostly　because　she？d　been　scared。　That　he　didn？t

love　her　back；　which　he　didn？t。　He　loved　Blair。

She　backed　away　from　the　heavy　wooden　door　that　led　to　her　parents？　master　bedroom　suite　and

toward　the　stairs　where　Nate　had　told　Blair　he　loved　her　just　last　night。　So　why　had　she　suddenly

declaredher　love　for　Nate；　now；　at　the　very　worst　possible　time？

？Hey；　you？re　the　birthday　girl。？　A　guy　she？d　never　seen　before　looked　up　at　her　from　the　bottom

of　the　staircase。　His　shaggy　brown　hair　was　piled　on　top　of　his　head　in　a　messy　bun。　？Selima；

right？？

？Serena；？　she　told　him。

？Right；　so　like；　do　you　think　you　can　give　me　a　ride　to　the　train　station？？　He　reached　under　his

sweat…stained　and　moth…eaten　polo　to　scratch　his　belly；　revealing　a　sliver　of　hairy　stomach。

Ew。

Serena　took　a　step　down　the　stairs；　letting　her　hand　glide　over　the　dark　wooden　banister。　？I？m

sure　people　will　start　getting　up　soon。　Someone　will　drive　you。？
