　at　a　diner　in

Merritt？she　and　her　dad　had　always　stopped　there　on　their　family　trips　to　Southampton　when　she

was　a　kid？but　they？d　gotten　lost；　and　it　had　taken　an　hour　and　a　half　just　to　find　it。　Nate　decided

not　to　remind　her　of　this。

？Maybe　you　should　take　a　little　nap；？　he　suggested。

？We？ll　be　there　soon；？　Serena　chimed　in　from　the　front　seat。　？I　can　almost　smell　the　city。？

Nate　sniffed　at　the　cool；　damp　air。　He　couldn？t　smell　anything　but　the　gritty　burn　of　his　cigarette

and　the　honey…almond　aroma　of　Blair？s　hair。　He　couldn？t　see　much；　either；　just　the　vague　outlines

of　the　car　and　his　friends；　and　the　dark　void　of　that　along…the…highway　wilderness；　which　was

barely　illuminated　by　the　thin　sliver　of　summer　moon。　After　a　couple　of　other　pit　stops？to　fill　up

It　seemed　almost　impossible　that　in　a　few　hours　Nate　was　supposed　to　climb　back　on　that　shitty

bicycle　and　show　up　at　Coach　Michaels？s　house　for　another　day　of　hard　labor　and　sexual

harassment。

Guess　he？ll　be　calling　in　sick。　Again。

？So　what？s　our　plan；　anyway？？　Serena　glanced　over　her　shoulder　and　into　the　backseat。　？Where

exactly　am　I　driving　us？？

？Let？s　go　to　the　Ritz。？　Blair　hopped　up　and　down　in　her　seat　like　a　little　kid　who　had　to

pee。　？Let？s　get　a　suite　and　order　room　service　and　sleep　all　day　tomorrow。？

？How　about　we　go　right　to　the　Three　Guys　coffee　shop　and　we　pig　out　on　pancakes？？　Serena

suggested。

Nate　weighed　the　options：　a　hotel　room　shared　with　Blair
