eyes。 She knew Chuck was friends with Serena and Blair; and she 
wanted to trust him。 But Chuck still hadn’t asked her what her name 
was。 He’d barely spoken to her at all。 
“I just want to kiss you;” Chuck said。 He bent his head down and 
enveloped her mouth in his; pressing his tongue against her teeth 
with such force that she let out a little gasp。 Jenny opened her 
mouth and let him thrust his tongue deep into her throat。 She had 
kissed boys before; playing games at parties。 But she’d never 
tongue kissed like this。 Is this what it’s supposed to feel like? she 
wondered; suddenly feeling a little frightened。 She reached up and 
pushed against Chuck’s chest; pulling her head away from him; 
desperate for air。 
“I have to go to the bathroom;” she mumbled; stumbling backwards 
into a stall and locking the door。 
She could see Chuck’s feet; standing outside the stall。 
“All right;” he said。 “But I’m not finished with you yet。” 
Jenny sat down on the toilet seat without pulling up her dress and 
pretended to pee。 Then she stood up and flushed。 
“All done?” Chuck called。 
Jenny didn’t answer。 Her mind was racing。 What should she do? 
Anxiously; she reached inside her little black handbag for her cell 
phone。 
Chuck crouched down to look under the stall door。 What was she 
doing in there; the little tease? He crawled forward on his hands and 
knees。 “All right;” he said。 “That’s it; I’m ing in。” 
Jenny closed her eyes and backed against the stall wall。 Quickly; 
she pressed the buttons for Dan’s number into her cell phone; 
praying that he’d answer。 


Ruby’s band was playing their last song; and Serena and Dan were 
slick with sweat。 Dan had some new moves down; and he was in the 
middle of an experimental slide to the side with a pelvic thrust 
when his cell phone went off。 
“Damn;” he said; pulling it out of his pocket。 He flipped it open。 
“Dan;” he heard his sister’s voice。 “I—” 
“Hey Jen。 Hold on; all right? I can’t hear you。” He tapped Serena on 
the arm and pointed to his phone。 “Sorry;” he shouted over the 
music。 He walked back to the table and put his hand over his free 
ear。 “Jenny?” 
“Dan?” Jenny said。 Her voice sounded very small and scared and far 
away。 “I need your help。 Please e get me?” 
“Now?” Dan said。 He looked up。 Serena was walking toward him; a 
worried frown on her perfect face。 
“Is everything okay?” she mouthed。 
“Please; Dan?” Jenny pleaded。 She sounded really upset。 
“What’s wrong?” Dan asked his sister。 “Can’t you take a cab?” 
“No; I—” Jenny said; her voice trailing off。 “Just please e; okay; 
Dan?” she finished hurriedly。 And then she hung up。 
“Who was that?” Serena said。 
“My little sister;” Dan told her。 “She’s at that party。 She wants me to 
e get her。” 
“Are you going?” 
“Yeah; I think I’d better。 She sounded kind of weird;” he said。 
“I’ll e with you;” Serena offered。 
“All right;” Dan said; smiling shyly。 This night was getting better and 
better。 “That would be cool。” 
“We’d better tell Vanessa;” Serena said; heading for the bar。 
Dan followed her。 He’d forgotten all about Vanessa。 But she looked 
like she was having a good time talking to the bartender。 
“Hey Vanessa;” Serena said; touching Vanessa’s arm。 “Dan just got 
a call from his sister at the party。 He has to go get her。” 
Vanessa turned around slowly。 She was waiting for Clark’s eyes to 
settle on Serena。 For his eyeballs to suddenly register “beautiful 
girl” in bold black letters like the cherries in a slot machine。 But 
Clark only glanced at Serena like she was just another customer。 
“What can I get you?” he said; slapping a cocktail napkin down on 
the bar in front of her。 
“Oh; nothing; thanks;” Serena said。 She turned to Vanessa。 “I think 
I’m going to go with Dan。” 
“Hey Serena; we better take off;” Dan called urgently from behind 
them。 
Vanessa turned around to look at him; waiting so eagerly for 
Serena。 His tongue was practically hanging out of his mouth。 



“Okay; have a good rest of the night;” Serena said。 She leaned over 
and gave Vanessa a kiss on her cheek。 “Tell Ruby I thought she was 
awesome。” Then she slipped away to join Dan。 
“See you; Vanessa;” Dan called; turning to go。 
Vanessa turned back to Clark without a word。 She couldn’t wait to 
kiss him again; and forget all about Serena and Dan; heading off 
into the night together。 
“Who were they?” Clark said; resting his elbows on the bar。 He 
picked an olive out of a dish and held it just in front of Vanessa’s 
lips。 
Vanessa bit into the olive and shrugged。 “Just some people I don’t 
really know。” 

Dan hailed a cab and opened the door for Serena。 The October air 
was crisp and smelled of burnt sugar; and Dan suddenly felt very 
elegant and mature—a man in a tuxedo out on the town with a 
beautiful girl。 He slid into the seat beside her and looked down at 
his hands as the cab pulled away from the curb。 They weren’t 
shaking anymore。 
Unbelievable as it seemed; he had touched Serena with those very 
hands while they were dancing。 And now he was alone with her in a 
taxi。 If he wanted to; he could take her hand; stroke her cheek; 
maybe even kiss her。 He studied her profile; her skin shining in the 
yellow glow of the streetlights; but he couldn’t bring himself to do it。 
“God I love to dance;” Serena said; letting her head fall back on the 
seat。 She felt pletely relaxed。 “I could seriously dance every 
single night。” 
Dan nodded。 “Yeah; me too;” he said。 But only with you; he meant 
to add。 
It takes a girl like Serena to make a guy with two left feet say he 
loves to dance。 
They rode the rest of the way in silence; enjoying the tired feeling in 
their legs and the cool air from the open window on their sweat…
dampened foreheads。 There was nothing awkward about the fact 
that they weren’t talking。 It was nice。 
When the cab pulled up in front of the old Barneys building on 
Seventeenth Street; Dan was expecting to see Jenny waiting for 
them outside; but the sidewalk was empty。 
“I guess I’m going to have to go in there and get her;” Dan said。 He 
turned to Serena。 “You can go ahead home。 Or you can wait。 。 。 。” 
“I’ll e with you;” Serena said。 “I may as well see what I missed 
out on。” 
Dan paid for the cab; and they got out and headed for the door。 
“I hope they let us in;” Serena whispered。 “I threw my invitation 


out。” 
Dan pulled the crumpled invitation Jenny had made for him out of 
his pocket and flashed it at the bouncer at the door。 “She’s with 
me;” he said; putting his arm around Serena。 
“Go ahead;” the bouncer said; waving them on。 
She’s with me? Dan couldn’t believe his balls。 He’d had no idea they 
were that big。 
“I’d better look around for my sister;” he told Serena when they got 
inside。 
“Okay;” she said。 “I’ll meet you back here in ten minutes。” 


The room was full of old familiar faces。 So familiar that no one there 
was quite sure whether Serena van der Woodsen had just arrived or 
if she’d been there all night。 She certainly looked like she’d been 
having a good time。 Her hair was windblown; her dress was slipping 
off her shoulders; there was a run in her tights; and her cheeks were 
all pink; as if she’d been running。 She looked wild; like the kind of 
girl who’d done everything everyone said she’d done; and probably 
a whole lot more。 
Blair noticed Serena right away; standing on the edge of the dance 
floor in that funny old dress they’d bought together at Alice 
Underground。 
Blair pulled away from Nate。 “Look who’s here;” she said。 
Nate turned around; gripping Blair’s hand when he saw Serena; as if 
to demonstrate his devotion。 
Blair squeezed his hand back。 “Why don’t you go tell her?” she 
asked him。 “Tell her you can’t be friends with her anymore。” Her 
stomach rumbled nervously。 After all the throwing up she’d done; 
she really needed another tuna roll。 
Nate stared at Serena with grim; slightly stoned determination。 If 
Blair thought it was crucial that he tell Serena to get lost; then he’d 
do it。 He couldn’t wait to get this all behind them so he could relax。 
In fact; after he talked to Serena he was going to head upstairs and 
find somewhere private to light up。 
Waspoid rule #1: When things get intense; smoke a joint。 
“All right;” Nate said; letting go of Blair’s hand。 “Here I go。” 


“Hey;” Serena said。 She reached up and kissed Nate on the cheek。 
He blushed。 He hadn’t expected her to touch him。 “You look mahvelous; 
darling;” she said in a silly; hoity…toity accent。 
“Thanks;” Nate said。 He tried to put his hands in his pockets; but his 
tuxedo didn’t have any。 Stupid thing。 “So; what have you been up 
to?” he asked。 
“Well; I kind of blew off the party;” Serena explained。 “I’ve been out 



dancing at this crazy place in Brooklyn。” 
Nate raised his eyebrows in surprise。 But then again; nothing 
Serena said should have surprised him anymore。 
“So; you want to dance?” Serena asked。 She put her arms around 
Nate’s neck before he answered; and began
