？It？s　the　Raves；？Thaddeus　explained。？I？m　pretty　tight　with　their　drummer。？　He　reached　over　and

took　the　burning　cigarette　from　Serena；　inhaling　furtively。

？Really？　I　know　the　girl　singing。　Her　name？s　Jenny。　We　went　to　high　school　together。　Wait；　I

think　she　might　have　dated　your　friend；　the　drummer；　what？s　his　name　。。。？？

？No。？　Thaddeus　laughed。　？I　don？t　think　she？s　quite　his　type。？

Oh？　And　what　type　is　that？

Serena　wasn？t　sure　what　that　was　supposed　to　mean；　but　she　hadn？t　e　there　to　discuss　Jenny

Humphrey？s　romantic　life。　She　sipped　her　sugary　drink　and　batted　her　eyelashes　at　the　crowd　of

girls　that　had　assembled　just　beyond　the　velvet　rope　bordering　the　VIP　area。　The　girls；　all　boasting

hideous　blowouts　and　way　too　much　eyeliner；　were　giggling　and　taking　pictures　of　her　and

Thaddeus　with　their　cell　phones。

They？re　probably　going　to　e…mail　them　to　some　gossip　Web　site；thought　Serena　with　annoyance。

Oh；　don？t　be　such　a　ninny。

A　massive　round　of　fireworks　erupted　with　a　violent　bang；　and　Serena　gave　a　frightened　little

？Don？t　worry。？　He　laughed。　？It？s　just　noise。？

？I　think　our　cover　is　blown；？　Serena　told　him；　gesturing　with　her　eyes　toward　the　gaggle　of　girls。

？I？ll　never　quite　get　used　to　it。？　Thaddeus　frowned。　？I　mean；　no　doubt　some　fuzzy　little　camera

phone　picture　of　us　will　end　up　in　the　papers。？

？Yeah；　it？s　weird；？　Serena　whispered；　accidentally　grazing　Thaddeus？s　ear　with　the　tip　of　her

nose。

？Do　me　a　favor？？Thaddeus　asked。

Before　Serena　could　open　her　mouth　to　answer；　he　leaned　in　and　kissed　her　gently　on　the　lips。

The　timing　was　perfect：　over　the　Hudson　a　massive　explosion　of　fireworks　resounded　with　a　bang；

their　lights　twinkling　and　then　fading　in　an　instant。　It　was　totally　cheesy　but　totally　romantic：　a

totally　Hollywood　moment。

Like；whoa。

？Dude！　Nate！？　Anthony　Avuldsen　leaned　out　the　window　of　his　black　BMW　M3；　honking　the

horn。

Nate　was　locking　his　bike　to　a　PRIVATEPROPERTY；NOTRESPASSINGsign　on　the　edge　of

Main　Beach？s　dirt　parking　lot。　He　was　supposed　to　meet　Tawny　but　Anthony？s　appearance　was　a

wele　surprise。　After　talking　to　Blair　on　the　phone　。　。　。　he　just　couldn？t　help　but　feel　like　he　was

with　the　wrong　girl。　Plus；　he　was　about　twenty　minutes　early。

There？s　a　first　time　for　everything。

？Hey；？　Nate　called；　strolling　over　to　the　driver？s　side　of　the　car。　？What？s　going　on？？
