Nate　took　a　last　swig　from　his　limey　Corona　and　nodded。　？Fine　by　me。？

Crammed　into　a　tiny　table　by　the　Oyster　Shack？s　greasy　windows；　they　ate　with　their　fingers；

sipped　beer；　and　talked？　well；　Tawny　did　most　of　the　talking。　About　how　she　was　learning　to　surf。

About　how　her　dad　used　to　be　a　fire　chief　but　had　gotten　hurt　falling　off　a　ladder　and　retired。

About　how　she？d　been　to　Disney　World　four　times。　About　how　her　hair　was　naturally　curly；　but

people　always　thought　she　had　a　perm。　About　how　excited　she　was　to　finally　graduate　next　year。

Nate　barely　listened　to　what　she　said：　she　was　sexy　as　hell；　and　he　enjoyed　simply　looking　at　her。

There　weren？t　many　girls　like　Tawny　on　the　Upper　East　Side：　full；　blond；　wavy　hair　spilling　over

caramel；　freckled　shoulders；　pink　lips　that　tasted　like　cherry　ChapStick；　long…lashed　bright　blue

eyes；　and　slender；　tanned　fingers　covered　with　silver　rings。

Blair　was　always　quizzing　him　on　his　favorite　song；　his　first　memory；　what　he　wanted　to　do　when

he　grew　up。　She　said　she　just　wanted　to　get　to　know　him；　but　it　always　felt　like　a　test　he　was

failing。　Tawny　seemed　happy　just　to　let　Nate　be　who　he　was。

A　hot；　arrogant　pothead？

When　dinner　was　over；　Tawny　perched　on　the　handlebars　of　his　bike　and　shouted　directions　to

Nate。　She　threw　her　head　back　and　her　long　wavy　hair　tickled　his　nose。

？Slow　down！　No；　speed　up！？　she　shrieked。

？Where　are　you　taking　me？？　Nate　shouted　as　they　bumped　over　tree　roots　and　rocks。

Tawny　glanced　over　her　shoulder　at　him。　？You？ll　see。。。。　Hey；　stop！　Let　me　off。？

Nate　skidded　to　a　stop　and　Tawny　hopped　onto　the　ground。　Her　lavender…colored　hot　pants　had

ridden　up；　giving　him　a　great　view　of　her　tan；　surf…toned　ass　cheeks。　Shit；　was　she　foxy！　？That　was

fun；？　she　laughed；　crashing　through　some　low　bushes　toward　the　beach。　？Ditch　the　bike。　It？ll　be

safe　there。？

Nate　leaned　his　bike　against　a　nearby　tree。　The　late　afternoon　sunlight　filtered　through　the　boughs

overhead；　but　it　was　cool　and　very　still　in　the　woods。

Following　Tawny；　Nate　thought　about　how　weird　it　was　that　he？d　only　been　out　of　school　for　a

couple　of　weeks　and　yet　his　entire　life　had　pletely　changed。　He　was　working　construction　and

dating　a　hot　Hamptons　chick。　Well；　why　not？　If　Blair　could　change　everything？she　was　getting

married；　for　Christ？s　sake？why　couldn？t　he？　It　was　easier　to　be　with　Tawny　than　it　was　to　be　with

any　other　girl　he？d　ever　known；　she　wasn？t　demanding　and　self…absorbed　like　Blair；　she　wasn？t

na？ve　and　needy　like　Jenny；　she　wasn？t　unpredictable　and　inattentive　like　Serena。　She　just　。。。　was。

Classic　stoner　logic。

？e　on；？　Tawny　urged；　backtracking　to　grab　his　hand　and　pull　him　through　the　bushes。

She　led　him　into　a　sun…dappled　clearing　where　two　massive　trees　had　fallen　on　top　of　one　another；

creating　natural　benches　that　were　obviously　popular　with　the　locals；　since　the　forest　floor　was

littered　with　old　beer　bottles　and　cigarette　butts。　Three　guys　hunkered　on　one　of　the　felled　logs；
