?Hello; Ginny。? Blair Waldorf; the bitchiest; vainest girl in the entire senior class; or maybe the
entire world; slid her tray into the place across from Jenny and sat down。 She tucked a wavy lock
of dark brown shoulder…length hair behind her ear and muttered at her reflection in the wall of
mirrors。 ?I can?t wait for my haircut。? She glanced at Jenny; picked up her fork; and raked it
through the dollop of whipped cream on top of her chocolate angel food cake。 ?I?m one of the
leaders for peer group A。 Areyou in group A??
Jenny nodded; clutching the seat of her chair as she stared gloomily down at her plate of cold;
greasy fries。 She couldn?t believe her bad luck。 Not only was Blair Waldorf the most intimidating
senior in the school; she was also Nate Archibald?s ex…girlfriend。 Blair and Nate had always been
the perfect couple; the ones destined to stay together forever and ever。 Then; strange as it might
have seemed; Nate had actually dumped Blair for Jenny after meeting Jenny in the park and
sharing a joint with her。
It had been Jenny?s first joint; and Nate had been her first love。 She?d never dreamed of having
an older boyfriend; let alone one as gorgeous and cool as Nate。 But after a couple of
too…good…to…be…true months; Nate had gotten bored with Jenny and had proceeded to break her
heart in the cruelest way by ditching her on New Year?s Eve。 So now she and Blair Waldorf
actually had something in mon?they?d both been dumped by the same boy。 Not that that made
any difference。 Jenny was pretty sure that Blair still hated her guts。
Blair knew perfectly well that Jenny was the balloon…boobed freshman whore who?d stolen her
Natie away; but she also knew that Nate had dumped Jenny flat on her ass after some extremely
embarrassing pictures of Jenny?s bare butt in a thong had been posted on the Web just before New
Year?s Eve。 Blair figured Jenny had already gotten her euppance; and she really couldn?t be
bothered with hating her anymore。
Jenny looked up。 ?Who?s your coleader?? she asked timidly。 She wished the other members of
the group would hurry up and get there before Blair tore her head off with her perfectly manicured
opalescent…pink fingernails。
?Serena?s ing。? Blair rolled her eyes。 ?You know her。 She?s always late。? She bed her
fingers through her hair; envisioning the cut she was going to get when she went for her
appointment during double free period。 She was going to have them do a mahogany rinse to get
rid of the copper…colored highlights; and then she wanted it cut short; in a modern; superstylish
sort of way; like Audrey Hepburn inHow to Steal a Million 。
?Oh;? Jenny replied; relieved。 Serena van der Woodsen was Blair?s best friend; but she wasn?t
nearly as intimidating; because she was actuallynice 。
?Hi; guys。 Is this peer group A?? A gangly; freckled freshman girl named Elise Wells sat down
