？Heard　you　got　lucky　Friday　night！？　Chuck　Bass　shouted　Dan？s　way　as　they　passed　each　other

on　the　stairwell。　Chuck　was　wearing　his　Riverside　Prep　uniform　navy　blue　V…neck　sweater　with

nothing　on　underneath　it。　？Nice　work。？

？Thanks；？　Dan　muttered；　hurrying　upstairs　to　the　puter　lab。　He　was　kidding　himself　if　he

thought　Vanessa　wasn？t　going　to　find　out　about　him　and　Mystery；　but　as　soon　as　she　received　his

latest　poem　he　was　convinced　she？d　forgive　him。　Just　as　Mystery　had　written　in　her　note？he　was　a

charmer。

girls　go　gaga　over　secret　admirers

Vanessa　felt　a　little　ridiculous　hanging　out　with　the　desperate　girls　in　the　packed；　overheated

Constance　Billard　puter　lab；　all　checking　their　e…mail　for　the　hundredth　time　to　see　who？d　sent

them　a　pathetic　e…card　for　Valentine？s　Day　or　posted　a　message　on　their　Secret　Admirer　page；　the

alarmingly　uncreative　new　tradition　the　school　had　started　last　Valentine？s　Day。　But　Dan　usually

logged　on　at　least　once　a　day；　and　since　he？d　been　so　busy　this　weekend　meeting　Rusty　Klein　at

the　Better　Than　Naked　show　and　hadn？t　had　a　chance　to　call　her　back　all　weekend；　she　figured　he

might　try　to　e…mail　her　today；　especially　since　it　was　Valentine？s　Day？　not　that　either　of　them

really　bought　into　that　mercial　holiday　bullshit。

Of　course　not。

？Hey；？　she　heard　someone　say。　It　was　Dan？s　little　sister；　checking　out　her　Secret　Admirer　page　at

the　next　terminal。

？Hey　Jennifer。？

Jenny　rolled　herself　backwards　on　her　black　swivel　chair　and　then　pulled　herself　forward　again。

Her　curly　brown　hair　was　blow…dried　straight　and　she　looked　older　and　more　sophisticated　than

usual。　？So　you　and　Dan　must　have　had　fun　at　that　fashion　show。　He　didn？t　get　home　until　like；

Saturday　afternoon。　My　dad　was　grumbling　about　how　spoiled　and　irresponsible　we　both　are；　but

then　he　pletely　forgot　to　yell　at　Dan。　As　usual。？

Vanessa　smoothed　her　hand　over　her　practically　shaved　head。　？Actually；　I　didn？t　go　to　the　same

show　he　went　to。　I　got　invited　to　another　one。？

Jenny　looked　confused。　？Oh。？

In　the　back　of　her　mind　Vanessa　sensed　that　something　was　wrong。　What　had　Dan　been　doing　out

all　that　time　anyway？　But　then　again；　everything　had　gotten　screwed　up　in　the　snow。　Maybe　he？d

spent　the　night　at　Zeke？s　house　or　something。　Zeke　lived　downtown。

She　logged　on　as　hairlesscat；　passwordmeow　；　and　clicked　on　her　inbox。　Sure　enough；　there　was

a　message　from　Dan；　and？big　surprise？it　was　a　poem。
