“So, what can you do?” Jenny poked1 at her grilled2 cheese. She couldn’t believe she’d gotten two sandwiches. Serena probably thought she was a disgusting pig. “Well, I’m pretty artistic3. I did the school hymnals, you know, in calligraphy4? And I’ve got some photographs in Rancor5 this year, and a short story,” Jenny explained. Rancor was Constance’s student-run arts magazine. Vanessa Abrams was the editor. “Oh, and I just did the invitations for that big party next week that everyone’s going to,” Jenny said, eager to impress. “Blair Waldorf asked me to do them. Actually . . .” Jenny reached into her bag and pulled out an envelope with Serena’s name printed on it in ornate calligraphy. “The guest list Blair gave me still had your boarding school address. I was going to put it in your locker6 or something,” Jenny said, blushing. “But now that you’re here . . .” She handed the envelope to Serena. Do I sound like a stalker? Jenny wondered. “Thanks,” Serena said, taking the envelope. She opened it and read the invitation inside, her eyes dark, her forehead creased7 in a frown. Oh, God. She thinks it’s ugly! Jenny thought, panicking. Serena put the invitation in her bag and picked up her fork again, looking distracted. She took a bite of lettuce8 and chewed on it. Jenny was taking mental notes on how to act as mysterious, poised9, and cool as Serena was acting10 at that very moment. If only she could have heard the livid thoughts in Serena’s head, railing against Blair. She didn’t want me to come to the party. She didn’t even tell methere was a party.
“Wow,” Serena said finally, still munching11 her lettuce. “Okay, you’re hired.” She held out her hand and smiled sweetly at Jenny. “I’m Serena,” she said. “I know,” Jenny said, blushing even redder. “I’m Jenny.” Disclaimer: All the real names of places, people, and events havebeen altered or abbreviated12 to protect the innocent.

hey people!
S AND B: HOT IN THE HOT TUB! This just in from an anonymous13 source: Apparently14, back when they were still tight, S and B shared a hot hot-tub moment together in C’s suite15 in the Tribeca Star. Was the kiss an expression of their true feelings for each other? Or were they just messing around like two silly drunk girls? Either way, it definitely adds a little tension to the mix. What fun! And in case you haven’t seen the poster plastered on all the buses, taxis, and subways all over town, the original photo of S can still be seen at the Whitehot Gallery in Chelsea, amidst portraits of other notorious scenesters, myself included. That’s right! The Remi brothers were just too sexy to resist. The fabulous16 are fabulous for a reason, people.
