Anthony　Avuldsen　wove　through　the　crowd；　lifting　his　whiskey　and　soda　high　into　the　air　to

avoid　a　spill。　He？d　shaved　his　blond　hair　close　to　his　head　and　had　a　deep　summertime　tan　that

made　his　smile　seem　even　brighter　than　usual。　The　bouncer？a　burly　guy　with　no　discernible　neck？

gave　him　a　quick　nod；　allowing　him　to　step　up　onto　the　platform　that　doubled　as　the　club？s　VIP

room。

？Archibald；　you　son　of　a　bitch；？　Anthony　said；　knocking　his　glass　against　Nate？s　bottle　in

greeting。　？Where　the　hell　have　you　been　keeping　yourself？？

？Hey；？　Nate　greeted　him。

？Coach　working　you？？　Anthony　plopped　next　to　Nate　on　the　banquette；　nodding　his　head　in　time

to　the　thumping　bass　line。

？Something　like　that；？　Nate　admitted。

？Dude；？　Anthony　continued；　shouting　to　be　heard　over　the　deafening　din　of　the　music。　？I　hear

Blair？s　back　in　town。　What？s　the　story？？

Nate　frowned；　then　draped　an　arm　around　Tawny；　pulling　her　even　closer。　？I　don？t　know。？　He

shrugged。

？I？m　Tawny；？　the　girl　said；　leaning　across　Nate？s　lap　and　smiling　in　Anthony？s　direction。

？What？s　up？？　Anthony　nodded　in　greeting。　？Anthony。？

？You　two　know　each　other　from　school？？　she　wanted　to　know。

？Yeah；？　Anthony　responded。　？How　do　you　two　know　each　other？？

Nate　signaled　to　the　waitress。　He　needed　another　drink；　immediately。

？Nate　just　fell　at　my　feet　one　day；？　Tawny　replied；　draining　the　last　of　her　cocktail。　？I　guess　I？m

just　lucky。？

Anthony　studied　her；　then　yelled　at　Nate；　？You？re　the　lucky　one；　bastard。？

The　waitress　approached；　looking　exactly　like　Jessica　Simpson　playing　Daisy　inThe　Dukes　of

Hazzard　。　？Another　round？？　she　asked。

？Please；？　Nate　told　her。　If　Anthony　was　going　to　ask　him　any　more　questions；　he？d　need　to　get　a

stronger　buzz　on。

？I　haven？t　seen　you　around　the　city；？　Anthony　continued。　？Where　do　you　go　to　school？？

？Oh；　I？m　not　from　the　city；？　Tawny　explained。　？I　live　in　Hampton　Bays。？

？Cool；？　Anthony　exclaimed。　？I　don？t　think　I？ve　ever　met　a　townie　before。？

Nate　jabbed　Anthony　roughly　with　his　elbow。

？What？？　Anthony　demanded。　？It？s　cool。　No　offense；　man。？

？What？？　asked　Tawny；　cupping　her　palm　over　her　ear。　？It？s　so　loud！？

？Dude；？　Anthony　continued；　oblivious。　？Isabel　is　having　a　party　tomorrow。　I　heard　Serena？s

going　to　be　there。　You　seen　her　lately？？

The　last　time　Nate　had　seen　Serena；　he？d　been　kissing　Jenny　at　Blair？s　graduation　party。　It　was

just　a　？for　old　times？　sake？　kiss；　but　he　was　pretty　sure　she　and　Blair　had　bonded　over　how　mad　at

him　they　were。

What　else　is　new？
