the scoop1 on the stoop ?Let?s go outside and smoke cigarettes,? Elise whispered in Jenny?s ear as they headed down to the cafeteria for recess2, Constance Billard?s 11A.M. juice-and-cookies break. Only second-semester seniors were allowed to leave school during recess, so she was very clearly proposing something completely illegal. Jenny stopped on the stairs. ?I didn?t know you smoked.? Elise unzipped the small outside pocket of her beige Kenneth Cole backpack and pulled a pack of Marlboro Lights halfway3 out. ?Only every once and a while,? she replied, pushing the pack back inside in case a teacher came down the stairs. ?Are you coming?? Jenny hesitated. If the receptionist noticed them leaving, she might yell at them and then call their homeroom teacher or even their parents. ?How??? ?Let?s justgo ,? Elise urged, tugging4 on Jenny?s hand. She started to run down the stairs, pulling Jenny after her. ?Go, go,go !? Jenny held her breath as she followed Elise downstairs and sprinted6 across the red-carpeted reception hall toward the front doors. Trina, the school receptionist, was barking into her headset and sorting the mail at the same time. She didn?t even notice the two freshman7 girls streak8 past without stopping to sign out. Blair sat alone on the East Ninety-fourth Street stoop favored by the Constance Billard senior girls, furiously smoking a Merit Ultra Light and running through the college interview questions she?d been prepared to answer since October. There were only two days left until her interview with Owen Wells, and she absolutely refused to fuck this one up. Tell me about your interests. What kinds of things are you involved in after school? I?m president of the French club and the social services board at school. I?m also a peer group leader, counseling freshmen9 on social issues. I?m nationally ranked in tennis?I play all summer, but only twice a week during the winter. I volunteer in soup kitchens whenever I can. I also chair the organizing committees for about eight charity functions a year. We were going to do a Valentine?s Day ball this Sunday to benefit Little Hearts, a charity for children with heart problems, but the ball got canceled because of Fashion Week. We were worried no one would come. I sent a letter to everyone on the guest list and still raised almost $300,000. Fundraising has always been one of my particular strengths, and I definitely plan to volunteer my services at Yale. Blair could just imagine Owen?s eyes widening in impressed surprise. How could Yalenot accept her? She was first class. A first-class liar10 is more like it. The whole soup kitchen thing is completely bogus, and she?d sort of skipped the part about the sevenother chairpeople who?d helped raise the money for Little Hearts.  ?Hey Blair!? Serena was ambling11 down the sidewalk toward her, wearing black fishnets with a hole in one knee, her luminous12 blond hair pulled up in a messy bun. For some girls this would have been a very white-trash moment, but for Serena it was an I-can-get-away-with-this-because-I-look-good-in-anything moment. A cab rushed down the street and the driver whistled out the window and honked13 as he drove by. Serena was so used to the sound of men whistling and cars honking14, she never even bothered to turn around. She sat down next to Blair and pulled a crumpled15 turquoise-colored pack of American Spirits out of her pocket. She?d started smoking them when she and Aaron had gotten together, because they were supposed to be all natural and additive-free. As if there?s such a big difference between all-natural carbon monoxide and fake carbon monoxide. Get real. ?I still can?t believe how cool you look,? Serena breathed, admiring Blair?s hairdo as she lit her cigarette. ?Who knew you?d look sohot with short hair.? Blair touched her head self-consciously. She?d thought she was supposed to be mad at Serena but now she couldn?t even remember why. Her haircutwas hot, if she did say so herself. Flattery can work wonders. ?So, I?ve been trying to think of a good present to get for Aaron, you know, to congratulate him on getting into Harvard? Can you think of anything he really wants, or maybe something he needs?? Now Blair remembered why she was mad at Serena.Aaron, Aaron, Aaron. It was boring to the point of utter nausea16. ?Not really,? she yawned in response. ?A makeover?? ?Very funny,? Serena replied. ?Hey, don?t we know those girls?? Across the street, Jenny and Elise were walking in that self-conscious, bumping-into-each-other way fourteen-year-old girls have of approaching people they?re embarrassed to talk to. Eventually the two girls bumbled across the street. ?We brought our own cigarettes,? Jenny announced as nonchalantly as she could, still a little freaked out that she?d just sneaked17 out of school. Elise pulled a pack of Marlboros out of her bag, but before she could offer one to Jenny, Serena tossed over her pack of American Spirits. ?Put those away. These are so much better for you.? Elise nodded her head seriously. ?Thanks.? She pulled two cigarettes out of the pack and stuck them both between her lips. Then she flicked18 on her mint green Bic lighter19, puffing20 on them simultaneously before handing one to Jenny. Jenny sucked on it hesitantly. After Nate had broken up with her, she?d tried to take up smoking as part of her new jaded-woman image, but they?d given her such bad sore throats, she?d had to quit after only a few days. ?So, have you checked your e-mail today?? Blair asked her, cocking a freshly plucked eyebrow21 mysteriously. Jenny coughed out a lungful of smoke. ?My e-mail?? Blair smirked22 to herself. Even though that blond boy in Bendel?s had been kind of dorky looking, he and Jenny would make a very cute couple. The beanpole and the big-breasted cutie-pie. ?Forget it,? she replied even more mysteriously. ?Just be sure to check it regularly from now on.? Of course now Jenny wanted to sprint5 back to school to check out her e-mail, but she couldn?t just abandon Elise, especially not when two more senior girls were walking toward the stoop to join the smoking party. ?My fucking feet are killing23 me in these boots. It?s like Japanese foot binding25.? Kati Farkas plopped herself down beside Blair and unzipped her peacock blue Charles Jourdan ankle boots. ?Stopwhining about those boots,? Kati?s glued-together-at-the-hip friend Isabel Coates moaned. Isabel leaned against the stoop?s metal railing and took a sip26 from a paper cup full of whipped cream?topped hot chocolate. She was wearing a Kelly green Dolce & Gabbana coat from a weekend sample sale. It was buttonless and tied at the waist with a thick black cord, like a Kelly green monk27?s robe. No wonder it never sold out back in October. ?Maybe if you got some Japanese foot bindingdone those boots wouldn?t hurt so much,? Isabel continued. ?Or if you?d letme buy them instead of you, sinceI?m the one who saw them first.? ?Chinese,? Jenny couldn?t help but correct. ?The Chinese used to bind24 women?s feet.? Kati and Isabel stared at her blankly. ?Shouldn?t you be in school?? Isabel demanded. ?They?re smoking with us,? Blair said protectively. It was kind of fun having two little ninth-grade sisters. Not that she ever wanted areal little sister or anything. Kati pretended not to notice that Blair was actually being nice to these two little snot-nosed fourteen-year-olds and threw her arms around Blair?s neck instead, kissing her on each Stila-powdered cheek. Mwah! Mwah! ?I can?t believe I haven28?t said anything, but your hair looks totallygorg . I just love, love,love it!? she squealed29. ?You were so brave. I heard you got gum in it. Is that why you decided30 to go so short?? ?Can I touch it?? asked Isabel. She put down her hot chocolate and reached out to pat the back of Blair?s head with a tentative hand. ?It feels so weird31! Like a boy!? Blair suddenly wished she?d worn a hat or some sort of turban to school. She dropped her cigarette on the step below her and squashed it with the pointy toe of her boot. ?Come on, you guys,? she beckoned32, rising to her feet and holding out her gloved hands to Jenny and Elise like Mary Poppins collecting the children at the playground. ?I?ll walk you back to school.? Jenny and Elise tossed their cigarettes into the shrubbery in front of the brownstone next door and stood up, hitching33 their bags up on their shoulders. Now that they?d tried smoking cigarettes with the seniors on a freezing-cold stoop, they weren?t exactly sure what the attraction was. ?Do you think my hair would look good that short?? Elise asked, hurrying to keep up with Blair. Anything would have been an improvement on the my-first-haircut bob Elise was presently sporting, but Blair didn?t have the heart or the energy to tell her. ?I?ll give you my stylist?s number,? she offered generously. As they turned down East Ninety-third Street, Mary, Vicky, and Cassie burst through the doors and waved to them. ?We saw you leave at recess!? ?We came out to get you!? ?We didn?t want you to get in trouble!? Blair put her arms around Jenny and Elise and herded34 them toward the school doors, wise to the fact that the three girls were just being obnoxiously35 nosy36. ?We?re fine,? she told them coolly. ?Shouldn?t you be in class?? Mary, Vicky, and Cassie stared after them in hurt disbelief. They wereso much cooler than Jenny and Elise. What did they have to do to prove it? Serena remained on the chilly37 stoop, not exactly thrilled that she?d been left alone with Kati and Isabel. She examined her split ends, trying to come up with the perfect you-got-into-college! gift for Aaron while Kati and Isabel waited eagerly for the real scoop on Blair?s hair. ?Did she have lice or something?? ?I heard she had this manic depressive fit and hacked38 it off with a nail scissors. She had to go to the salon39 to fix it.? ?I think it looks cool,? Serena answered dreamily in reply. Kati and Isabel glared at her, disappointed. If Serena wasn?t going to dish anything out, they?d just have to make something up. And let?s be honest?that sounds likemuch more fun. ================================== ABC Amber40 LIT Converter v2.02 ================================== Disclaimer: All the real names of places, people, and events have been altered or abbreviated41 to protect the innocent. Namely, me.  hey people! The premature42 male midlife crisis What?s withC ?shighlights ? Sure, they sort of match his stretchy pastel shirts and orange Prada sneakers, but since when was he so . . . outr?? I also heard he was seen on Monday night dancing at a new red-rope, guest-list-only club in Greenwich Village calledBubble , a very boys-only kind of scene, if you know what I mean. Could it be that since he?s already hit on every female in the city, he?s moved on to the males? The other boy I?m a little concerned about isN , my personal favorite. Yes, he?s still as hot as ever, and yes, I would give up my Herm?s Birkin bag to be his fairy princess. I just wish he?d stop lurking43 around upper Fifth Avenue taking surreptitious slurps44 from that silver flask45 he keeps in his pocket and looking like a nervous wreck46. If he needs a hand to hold, he knows where to find me. But the greatest transformation47 of all is in skinny, scruffyD . If you haven?t seen him since this morning, this is breaking news: he got a haircut! It?s definitely the work of the old man barber on Broadway and West Eighty-eighth, but his sweet brown eyes are actually visible now, which is definitely an improvement, and there seems to be some sexy-literary-dude sideburn action happening, too. He?s got it going on! Hanging out with the big girls It?s extremely flattering to be taken under the wing of an older girl and given a glimpse of the we?re-so-cool-we-don?t-even-have-to-think-about-trying side of life. But don?t get carried away, thinking said older girl is going to start asking you out to the movies. She?s not. And as soon as she gets too busy with APs and parties and shopping for sandals, or whatever it is older girls do in their spare time, she?s going to forget about all those groovy times you had together. She might even forget your name. Of course, I could be totally wrong. Maybe you?ll wind up friends for life and sponsor each other at the Connecticut country club you both join when you?re married with kids. Or not. Don?t say I didn?t warn you.  Your e-mail Q:? ? Dear GG, So I may have misread what was going on, but I?m pretty sure I saw A from Bronxdale with this other girl in our class, and he was all, ?I?m the man, I?m into Harvard,? and she was all, ?You?re so hot. I want you.? Um, doesn?t he have a girlfriend?
 ?S.I.B. A:? ? Dear S.I.B., What does S.I.B. stand for, anyway? Seeing is believing? Sad in Biloxi? Small is beautiful? If what you say is true, I?m S.F.A.C.B.?sad for a certain blond.  ?GG Q:? ? Dear Ggirl, I heard B got caught doing drugs in school and now she secretly has to do community service. She?s going to rehab, too, which is why she cut all her hair off. They make you do that, like, in prison.  ?Daisy A:? ? Dear Daisy, It sounds like a bad made-for-Lifetime special. You don?t really believe all that, do you?
 ?GG Oops.I?m late for my fake-tan rubdown at Bliss48?it?s theonly way to stay smiling till summer! You know you love me. gossip girl
