girls liking surprises. Well, Blair was about to be very surprised, and<br />

he didn’t think she was going to like it one bit.<br />

“And what?” Blair demanded. “What happened?”<br />

“We kissed,” Nate said. He took a deep breath and held it. He<br />

couldn’t just leave it at that. He blew the breath out. “And then we<br />

had sex.”<br />

Blair threw the quilt off her shoulders and stood up. “I knew it!” she<br />

shouted. “Who hasn’t had sex with Serena? That nasty, slutty<br />

bitch!”<br />

“I’m sorry, Blair. But it wasn’t like, planned or anything,” Nate said.<br />

“It just happened. And it was only that one time, promise. I just<br />

didn’t want you to think this was my first time, when it wasn’t. I had<br />

to tell you.”<br />

Blair stomped into her bathroom and snatched her pink satin<br />

bathrobe off its hook. She put it on, cinching the belt tight. “Get the<br />

fuck out of here, Nate,” she said, angry tears sluicing her cheeks. “I<br />

can’t even look at you. <strong>You</strong>’re pathetic.”<br />

“Blair—” Nate pleaded. For a split second he tried to think of<br />

something charming to say. He could usually think of something,<br />

but nothing came.<br />

Blair slammed the bathroom door shut in his face.<br />

Nate stood up and pulled on his boxers. Kitty Minky poked her head<br />

out from under the bed and stared at him accusingly, her golden cat<br />

eyes glowing eerily in the dark. Nate grabbed his jeans, shirt, and<br />

shoes and headed for the front door. He could hardly wait for that<br />

burrito.<br />

The front door closed with a hollow bang, but Blair remained locked<br />

in the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror glaring at her tearstained<br />

reflection. The tube of Serena’s lip gloss was still lying on<br />

the sink where she had left it. Blair picked it up with trembling<br />

fingers. Gash, it was called. What an ugly name. Of course Serena<br />

could wear lip gloss with ugly names, and tights with holes in them,<br />

and dirty old shoes, and never cut her hair, and still get the boy.<br />

Blair grunted at the irony of it all and opened her bathroom window,<br />

tossing the lip gloss out into the night and waiting to hear it land on<br />

the pavement below. But she couldn’t hear a thing.<br />

Her head was too full of the new movie she was working on. The<br />

movie in which the fabulous Serena van der Woodsen was run over<br />

<strong>by</strong> a bus with her stupid picture plastered to the side of it and was<br />

horribly maimed. Her old friend Blair would take time out from her<br />

busy life with her doting husband, Nate, to feed Elephant <strong>Girl</strong><br />

Serena mashed pears and tell her all about the parties she and Nate<br />

had been to. Serena would grunt and fart in response, but
