“Well；　don’t；”　Blair　said　fiercely。

Grrr。

Nate　pushed　open　the　men’s　room　door　at　exactly　the　same　time

that　Serena　pushed　open　the　ladies’。　Together；　they　walked　down

the　hallway　back　to　the　table。

“Nate；”　Serena　said；　smoothing　her　new　brown　suede　skirt　over　her

legs。　“Can　you　please　explain　why　you’re　not　talking　to　me？”

“I’m　not　not　talking　to　you；”　Nate　said。　“See；　I’m　talking　to　you　right

now。”
