Uh-oh. Nate's hopeful smile cracked a little. ?Why's that?? ?Because you're not captain material, Archibald!? the coach barked. ?Look at you, gabbing15 on the phone like a playboy while the rest of your teammates are out there dogging it. And don't think I don't know about your getting busted for dope.? He made a little growling16 sound. ?You're no leader, Archibald.? He spat again and turned his back on Nate, jamming his hands in his red Lands' End parka pockets as he walked away. ?You're just a rotten pile of disappointment.? ?But I haven't been smok?? Nate called after him, his voice trailing off into the wind. The sky was steel gray, and the bare tree branches creaked and moaned. Nate stood alone on the brown March grass, holding his lacrosse stick and shivering a little in the cold. His father was a former navy captain, so he was used to shrugging off the power-tripping tirades17 of grumpy old authority figures. But it was still pretty outrageous18 that Coach Michaels thought the only nonstoned guy on the team wasn't fit to be captain. Coach hadn't even given him a chance to defend himself. He bent20 down and picked up his coat. If he were stoned right now, he would have smiled serenely21 at the coach's accusations22 and lit a joint23. Instead, he slung24 his coat over his shoulders, gave the finger to the coach's retreating back, and trudged25 across the darkening meadow toward Fifth Avenue. Charlie, Jeremy, and Anthony Avuldsen were waiting for him on the pathway leading out of the park. Anthony was too much of a stoner even to play sports, except for the occasional game of soccer in the park, but he always met the guys after practice with ready-rolled joints26 and a big grin on his freckly27, blond-goateed face. Slowly the boys made their way out of the park and onto Fifth Avenue. ?Dude, he made you captain, didn't he?? Charlie asked, his voice cracking the way it did when he was high, which was basically all the time. Nate grabbed the bottle of blue Gatorade out of Charlie's hands and took a swig. Even though these guys were his best friends, he wasn't about to tell them what had happened. ?Coach offered it to me, but I turned him down. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm already into Brown, anyway, so it's not like I need lax captain on my transcript28. And I'll probably miss a few weekend games hanging out in Connecticut with Georgie. I told Coach to give it to a junior.? The three boys raised their eyebrows29 in surprised admiration30. ?Jesus, dude,? breathed Jeremy. ?That's like,huge of you.? All of a sudden, Nate felt the sort of rush he might have felt if he'd actually told the coach to make a junior captain instead of him. How huge hemight have been, if only that was what had really happened. ?Yeah, well.? He smiled uncomfortably and buttoned up his coat. Not only had he lied about the coach offering him the position of captain, he'd also lied about his chances of being accepted at Brown. Sure, his dad had gone there, and sure, he'd had a kick-ass4 interview, but he'd been baked as a loaf of bread for every exam and standardized32 test he'd taken since eighth grade, so his grades and scores were barely mediocre33. ?Here.? Anthony held out a burning spliff. He had a tendency to forget on an hourly basis that Nate had quit smoking the stuff. ?It's Cuban. I bought it from my cousin who goes to Rollins down in Florida.? Nate waved the joint away. ?I have a paper to write,? he said, turning away from the group toward home. It was hard to get used to?not being stoned. His head was so clear, it almost hurt. And all of a sudden there was so much tothink about. Whoa. B tries to keep her eyes on the prize The door to Georgie's house stood open. No Doubt was blasting out of both the indoor and outdoor speakers, and there were clothes strewn all over the front steps. Four boys with long hair were walking around in their underwear eating wild-mushroom potstickers and showing off their snowboarding muscles. When Blair and Serena walked in with Erik and Jan and the ski patrol guys, they turned around to gape34 and smile. ?Where's Georgie?? Serena asked, desperate to find the heart of the party before Jan-the-dentist tried to get her alone. ?In the hot tub,? the boys answered in unison35. Blair stayed in the living room while Serena went out the patio36 doors in search of their host, with Jan trailing after her. Erik went over to the bar and began to mix drinks. He'd taken a bartending course last semester?the most useful thing he'd learned in college so far. Blair noticed that Nate was sitting by himself on a leather sofa in the corner of the living room, sort of picking at his toes. He was wearing his broken-in navy blue Brown sweatshirt and a pair of tattered37 yellow St. Jude's gym shorts. With his wavy38 golden brown curls and sparkling green eyes, he looked like a sad little boy. Blair wanted to sit down next to him and ask him why he was picking his toes and looking so sad at his girlfriend's party, but then Erik came over and handed her a glass filled with something swirly39 and orangey-pink. ?Mai tai. Careful, it doesn't taste it, but it's almostall liquor.? ?Thanks.? Blair took the glass. Normally she preferred vodka tonics40, but she'd drink anything Erik made for her. ?I'm going out to sit in the tub,? Erik said. ?Wanna come?? Blair shook her head. ?No thanks.? The idea of jumping into the hot tub with Georgie and whoever else was in there really wasn't all that appealing. And she didn't want Erik to think she couldn't fend19 for herself at a party. Besides, there was a whole table of catered41 food standing42 only ten feet away. If Erik went outside, she'd have a chance to stuff her face without worrying about whether he thought she was a big fat pig or not. A girl needs fuel, especially when she has a long night ahead of her. As soon as Erik left, she grabbed a plate of spring rolls and plopped down on a love seat next to a guy with shoulder-length brown hair, who was smoking a joint. He looked up at her and smiled. ?You board?? Blair had no clue what he was talking about. ?No.? She took a deep breath through her nostrils43. She never got high, but she was feeling sort of nervous all of a sudden, and all the stoners she knew were so mellow44. Maybe a few hits off this guy's joint were just what she needed. ?Is that pot?? The guy smiled again and looked at the roach in his hand. ?Itwas . Sorry, it's kaput.? He wasn't wearing a shirt or shoes, and he still had his ski pants on. They were bright green, with reinforced knees. ?So how do you know Georgie?? Blair asked, still chomping45 her food. ?Who?? Blair could feel Nate watching her from across the room. Maybe he thought she was sharing this guy's joint.
Oh, the irony46. ?Where do you go to school?? she asked, figuring the guy must be about twenty and in college. ?I don't do school,? he told her. ?I board from March till December and then surf the North Shore all winter.? Blair shoved a potsticker in her mouth and chewed. ?How can you snowboard all summer?? ?Chile. Argentina.? ?And the North Shore is in Hawaii, right?? Don't ask how she knew this. It was the kind of thing a girl with brothers justknows . The guy nodded. ?You surf?? Blair shook her head, intrigued47 by the idea. She envisioned herself in her new pink Eres bikini and a Hawaiian lei made of white orchids48 and red hibiscus blossoms, balanced on a surfboard and riding out a humungous wave. She'd have an amazing tan and incredible butt31 muscles?the kind that actually look good in a thong49. And after a long day of surfing, Erik would massage50 her with coconut51 oil and feed her the fresh fish he'd caught that day. Maybe she didn't really need to go to Yale or any college at all?she could just ?surf . Nate got up all of a sudden and walked over to her. His emerald green eyes weren't sparkling so much as smoldering52. He looked like he had a lot on his mind. ?Hey,? he said. ?Hey,? she said back. ?How come you're not in the hot tub?? Nate shrugged53. ?It's too hot?? Blair jumped up and dumped her paper plate in the trash. She didn't like making small talk with Nate when Erik was outside with Georgie and Serena. It didn't make any sense. ?Come on,? she said, leading the way outside. ?Catch you later,? the stoned guy called after them. It had snowed for a few hours earlier in the day, and Georgie's backyard sparkled in the moonlight with crisp, fresh, dry snow. No Doubt had morphed into Missy Elliott, and the ski patrol guys were dancing with a group of girls from the local high school on the deck surrounding the hot tub. Serena had always loved soaking in hot tubs outside at night in the cold, especially when it was snowing lightly and everyone was naked. This time she was particularly grateful to be wedged between her brother and Chuck Bass54, while Jan-the-Dutch-dentist gazed at her dreamily from the other side of the tub. Georgie had eaten too many potstickers or too much something and was doing handstands in the middle of the tub, leaving no part of her naked body up to anyone's imagination. ?Oh,? Blair said, anxiously surveying the scene. Okay, so she'd been planning to get naked that night, but not in front of Nate and Georgie and the Sun Valley Ski Patrol and the entire Dutch Olympic snowboarding team. And she certainly wasn't doing any fucking handstands. ?You coming in?? Erik called from inside the tub. Serena blinked water out of her long, dark lashes55. ?It's nice.? Blair pulled the sleeves of her borrowed sweater down over her wrists. ?Not right now.? Georgie popped up out of the water and wiped her nose. Her skin was ghostly in the moonlight. ?Leave her alone. Maybe she has her period.? Blair blushed angrily. ?Does Nate have his period, too?? Chuck taunted56. Nate pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his shorts pocket, lit one, and then handed the pack to Blair. Then he trudged off into the dark, snowy lawn behind the house, wearing only his sweatshirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. Blair put a cigarette in her mouth, wishing she didn't feel quite so sorry for Nate. It was weird57, this sympathy-for-Nate business. And probably totally undeserved. ?I'm going back inside,? she said pointedly58. Serena elbowed Erik in the ribs59. ?I think that's your cue.? Behind her, Blair heard someone splash out of the tub. ?Oh, wow!? she heard Georgie squeal9, and knew she was looking at Erik. Sorry, babe. He's spoken for. ?Wait up, Blair.? Blair stopped in the kitchen and snatched a chocolate macaroon from off the caterer's tray. She took a bite and then turned around to face Erik. He was wearing only a white towel, just like when she'd first seen him at the lodge61, the day they'd arrived in Sun Valley and she'd realized that he was the man to deflower her. Now was as good a time as any. She grabbed a bottle of chilled Veuve Clicquot champagne62 from the kitchen counter, tucked it under her arm, and picked up the plate of macaroons. ?Let's take these upstairs.? Just like santa's reindeer63 ?I don't wanna go inside,? Georgie pouted64 as the high-school girls and the ski patrol guys followed Conrad, Josef, Gan, and Franz into the house to get something to eat. ?I wanna do somethingwild .? Serena's skin tingled65.Me too! Me too! She was tired of tagging along with Erik and Blair's little lovefest. And she couldn't wait to escape Jan's lovelorn gaze. It was time for an adventure. ?Did you see? Those guys have one of those ski patrol toboggan things on top of their car. I've always wanted to ride in one of those. ?? Georgie was out of the tub before Serena even finished her sentence. ?Come on!? she cried, stepping into her moon boots, the rest of her just as naked as ever. ?Let's check it out!? Leaving their clothes behind, Chuck and Serena followed Georgie out to the car-filled driveway in front of the house. Quickly and quietly, Chuck and Georgie unhooked the toboggan from on top of the ski patrol guys' Subaru wagon66 and lowered it onto the snow. Georgie opened the back door of one of the Dutch Olympic snowboarding team's Mercedes SUVs and groped around inside. ?Anyone want one?? she called out. ?Me!? Chuck replied, joining her. Serena didn't know what Georgie was offering, but she didn't need anything at the moment except a warm coat. ?Aren't we going to be cold?? she ventured. The toboggan had a thick wool blanket strapped67 to it, but unless they all got under it they were going to die of hypothermia. ?Don't you want to be in the papers again?? Chuck wheezed68. It sounded like he was snorting something. Georgie pulled her head out of the SUV and slammed the door. She rubbed her nose, her brown eyes wide. ?All we have to do is keep moving.? She pointed at Serena. ?You get into the sled and Chuckie and I will pull you?like Santa's reindeer!? Not one to poop on anyone's party and eternally grateful that Jan-the-dentist was too much of a wuss to join them, Serena undid69 the straps70 holding the blanket down to the toboggan, wrapped the blanket around herself, and then lay down in the toboggan. Georgie crouched71 beside her and tucked Serena's arms into the blanket. Then she buckled72 up the straps, pulling them tight across Serena's body, as if her bones were all broken and needed to be held together. Serena noticed tiny beads73 of sweat on Georgie's upper lip and forehead, even though it was only twenty-eight degrees and she was naked. ?Ready?? Georgie shouted, her moon boots ankle-deep in snow. It felt odd and a little scary to be strapped in lying down. Serena couldn't undo74 the straps even if she wanted to. Underneath75 the blanket, she pressed her palms against her thighs76 to steady herself. ?Ready.? Georgie and Chuck giggled77 as they tugged78 on the toboggan's harness, their naked butt cheeks straining with the effort as they dragged it down the driveway and onto the snowy shoulder of Wood River Drive. ?Wait, where are we going?? Serena called out helplessly. She lifted her head to see, but all she could make out were two naked bodies gleaming in the moonlight as they jogged down the quiet road. Chuck had a tan line left over from Christmas in St. Barts, but Georgie was as pale as a daisy. Though not nearly as pure. Serena's neck was aching and she was about to let her head fall back, when Chuck and Georgie's bodies were set aglow79 by headlights. A car was coming. ?Help!?Serena cried, her face aflame at how pathetic she sounded. Never mind how strange the sight must be. ?Woo!Nice ass!? someone shouted out the window as the car screeched80 past. The toboggan bumped and slid along as the car's taillights disappeared down the road. ?Hey, you guys!? Serena yelled, straining her neck. ?Can you stop?? Her so-called friends didn't even turn around. Perhaps they didn't hear her, or maybe they were just pretending not to hear. ?Please?? But still they didn't stop. The road lit up again as another car approached. This time the car slowed down. Then a siren blared, and red-and-white lights whirled and churned up the night. ?Fuck, it's the police!? Chuck shouted. ?Run!? ?No!? Serena shouted back. The toboggan bumped and slid as the police car drew closer. ?Let go! Let go!? Serena heard Georgie scream. All of a sudden, the toboggan zigzagged81 haphazardly82, before careening into a ditch. It rolled once and fell on its side in a stream of freezing slush. Water seeped83 through the wool blanket and covered her knees. It was so cold, it felt hot. ?Stop! Stop right there!?the police ordered as they gave chase, the lights on top of their car whirling off into the distance. Serena shivered in the ditch. The police hadn't seen her. ?Help,? she whimpered. ?Please, help.? To do it or not to do it ?Now we're dressed exactly alike,? Blair said as she stepped out of Georgie's mom's bathroom, wearing only a towel. Erik put down the ski magazine he'd been reading while he waited for her on the bed. ?Cool.? The room had a high, slanted84, timber ceiling and gigantic mismatched triangular85 windows facing Mount Baldy. Headlights on the Snowcats grooming86 the runs for the following day twinkled in the darkness. Blair wondered fleetingly87 if Nate was still out there, wandering around in the snow in his sneakers, or if he'd come to his senses and come back inside. Not that she cared. She spun88 her ruby89 ring around and around on her finger and shifted her gaze back to the bed.I'm about to become a woman, she reminded herself. Even with cookie crumbs90 scattered91 all over his chin and bare chest and his hair damp and matted from soaking in the hot tub, Erik was irresistible92. She walked over to the bedside table and took a swig of champagne right from the bottle. ?Okay. I'm ready.? Erik took her hand and pulled her down on top of him. Their lips met in a thrilling mixture of chocolate and champagne. He pressed himself against her hip13. He appeared to be ready, too. She closed her eyes as music filtered up from the party downstairs, some hip-hop song she didn't recognize. The night she'd thought she was going to do it with Nate, she'd burned a mix CD and filled her room with candles. Then nothing had happened. This time she was in a strange house with strange music playing. But maybe it was better this way?the looser the script, the more room for experimentation93. Not that she wanted to try anything weird. Of course not. ?Open your eyes,? Erik murmured, nuzzling her neck. ?You have beautiful eyes.? Blair opened her eyes and giggled to herself. She was kissing Serena's hot older brother. She closed her eyes again, diving in for another round of mouth-to-mouth. It seemed easier to just do it rather than think about what she was doing or who she was doing it with. Erik pulled back the cinnamon-colored silk duvet and scooted underneath it. Blair shimmied in after him and removed her towel, tossing it onto the floor with more flourish than she'd actually intended. Ta-da! ?You've done this before, right?? Erik asked as he drummed his capable fingers slowly down her spine94. Blair shivered?partly out of pleasure and partly out of fear?and squeezed her eyes shut. ?Oh, sure.? She could feel Erik bulging95 hugely against her leg. Maybe they wouldn't have to do it all the way, just a little bit. Then she remembered what she and Serena always told the ninth-graders in their peer group.Don't do it just to do it. Do it with someone you love who cares about how you feel. And don't do it unless you know without question that you're ready. That had always been easy for Serena to say. She had lost her virginity way back in the summer after tenth grade, with Nate, no less. It was the constant, invisible, unspokenthing between Blair and her. The albatross in their friendship. When Blair approached the topic of sex in peer group, she spoke60 with such authority, she almost believed she'd done it herself sometimes. And sure, she'd come pretty close?with Nate on several occasions while they were together?but notthat close. She'd always stopped him, just in the nick of time. Which, considering the fact that she and Erik were both naked and lyingvery close together, was like,right now . ?Are you nervous or something?? Erik asked, stroking her hair and looking into her eyes in that pleasant, gorgeous way of his. ?No. Why? Do I seem nervous?? Blair replied a little too hastily. ?It's just the way your knees are kind of pushing me away ?? Blair hadn't even realized what she was doing with her knees. Even though she desperately96 wanted to do it and get it over with, her body clearly had other ideas. How was she going to lose her virginity when her body wouldn't even cooperate? Her knight97 in shining armor Nate was on his way back to Georgie's house, his legs numb98 with cold and his sneakers soaked through from the snow, ready to give in and jump in the hot tub. He'd thought a good long walk alone would help clear his head, but he had so much to think about?getting into Brown, not making lax captain, Georgie's erratic99 behavior, the way Blair seemed to look right through him?all he could really think about was how great it would be just to smoke a joint and forget all his troubles. ?Damn,? he swore under his breath as he hurried along the shoulder of Wood River Drive. ?Please help??He heard a tiny, pleading voice whimper from the ditch to his left. Nate whirled around, his eyes bulging out of his head when he recognized the pale blond hair and the familiar body strapped inside the overturned ski patrol toboggan. If he hadn't been so sober, he would've thought he was having some sort of mental allergic100 reaction to weed or something. ?Serena?? He knelt down and began unbuckling the straps. ?Jesus, what happened?? As soon as Serena's arms were free she reached up and hugged Nate around the neck, sobbing101 wordlessly. She wouldn't have minded if it had been Jan who'd rescued her, but Nate was ten thousand times better. ?You're okay. You're okay,? Nate murmured, stroking her hair with one hand as he worked the rest of the toboggan straps with the other. When all the straps were undone102 he pulled back the heavy wool blanket, never imagining what he'd find underneath. ?Whoa.? He grabbed her under the arms and helped her to her feet before wrapping the blanket around her once more. Serena swayed against him, too overcome to be embarrassed or even to explain how she'd wound up naked in a ditch, strapped to a ski patrol toboggan. Nate bent down and picked her up like an oversized baby. ?Let's get you back. All you need is a nice warm bath and some warm clothes and you'll be good as new.? He started down the road toward the house, his arms and legs ablaze103 with energy from his manly104 rescue. Serena let her head fall against his shoulder and breathed sweet, warm air into his ear. Maybe it was Nate?her Natie?who she'd been meant to be with all along. Her knight in shining armor. The love of her life. When they got back to the house, ever-efficient Nate carried Serena upstairs to the guest bathroom and ran her a nice hot bath. While she relaxed in the bubbles, he went down the hall to Georgie's mother's room to look for a warm bathrobe and some cozy105 cashmere socks. The door was closed, but the cleaning staff had kept it closed ever since he'd arrived at the house, so he thought nothing of opening it without knocking.
