Chapter 3

- No, thanks. The music of Beck ended and people returned to flocks to the tables to get drunk more. - My feet are dying! - Gemeu Kati Farkas, throwing themselves into a chair in front of Blair and making shoes. - My already-dead echoed Isabel Coates, sinking in the chair beside her. In the last two years, while Serena was in Hanover Academy in New Hampshire, Isabel and Kati had dressed in Blair.

Then, when both were with her, they felt almost famous, using the red carpet everywhere.

Blair's mother and father of Aaron were on honeymoon⁶ on a cruise in the Caribbean, and got to Blair, Aaron and brother of Blair, Tyler, pass the holidays in the exclusive resort of Isle⁷ La Paix in St. Barts. Each of them could bring a friend, if I wanted. Thus, after they reconciled in the bathroom during the wedding reception of the mother, Blair invited Serena.

Chuck continued with their hands where they are. - Nate never managed to make you sell, right? - He began to massage¹³ her shoulders. - I was thinking that maybe the honor to be mine. The entire body of Blair rigid¹⁴. Until that moment, she never had many problems with Chuck, but now understand why the Serena hated both. She pushed the chair back, hands violently expelling him from his shoulders and stood up. - I have to go to the bathroom, she announced to the table, completely ignoring Chuck. - Then we get out of here. We can continue the party at my house or something. Aaron got up and took a step toward her, the threading website skytech behind the ear, half embarrassed. - You okay? - He asked, looking worried. At that moment, every one act of Mr. Sensitive irritated Blair almost as much as the galinhagem to Chuck. - I'm great. She turned and marched across the room the best that could jump in the needle of acrylic Christian¹⁵ Louboutin and Gucci dress in black superapertado, looking directly to the front to prevent see Nate Ginny with that little girl, or whatever the hell is the name her. People were gathering¹⁶ on the track in an excited whisper. It seemed Flow - the lead singer of the world's most delicious music - was about to appear. But Blair does not matter. She was not drooling for famous people, like most of the girls. Did not need it: she was the star in the film that run on your head, the most famous person I knew. the cat's rock turns the head of all Jenny was a kind of trance blessed all night.

His green eyes spark to light the candles and golden hair that were so perfectly²⁰ desgrenhados Jenny was taking for his mental polaróides that could paint a portrait brand new in the morning and increase its collection. Best of all was that, after they reached the ball, Nate not dragged to talk to people she did not know. Even the friends of turbulent Nate, Jeremy Scott Tompkinson, Anthony and Charlie Avuldsen Dem, left the two alone. That night Nate was just her, happy to hug her while they kissed silently in the corner. - You know the screen The kiss of Gustave Klimt? - Said Jenny excited while looking at the lovely face of Nate. Nate made a grimace²¹. - Not really. - You know. It is famous for dammit. Anyway, this is what I remember. He has to shoulder and looked to the stage. - I think the guy the 45 will appear in a moment and speak something. Jenny encostou the wall. Before Nate, it would wet the panties of excitement to see a celebrity²² like Flow, but now all that I was still kissing Nate. - So? - She gave a giggle²³ and a light hit in the mouth with the back of the hand, with care not to blur²⁴ the brightness MAC pink. - That was awesome²⁵ - she added short. - What? - Nate asked, looking distraught to the hall. - I never kissed so long well-accepted Jenny. Nate turned to her and smiled. He had smoked a joint²⁶ on the way to get her way and was still stoned. He loved the dress that Jenny was wearing. It was long and black, the low neckline in front and back, with a frilled white dramatic that shaken tiny ankles. Jenny had bought the dress at Century 21, a tip of stock of clothing for fashion frequented by hunters of bargains and a notion that people desperately²⁷ not buy anything that had label, even if it were obviously imperfect or was just a bad idea that the designer does not sell anywhere, except in the 21 Century.
