picture　on　all　the　buses。　Is　that　true？”

“Yeah；”　Serena　said。　“Pretty　crazy；　huh？”

“You　are　so　rad！”　Missy　squealed。　She　glanced　at　Blair　who　was

glaring　at　her。　“Anyway；　what　can　I　get　you　girls？”

“Ketel　One　and　tonic；”　Blair　told　her；　looking　her　straight　in　the　eye；

daring　her　to　card　them。　“Extra　limes。”

But　Missy　would　rather　lose　her　job　than　hassle　Serena　van　der

Woodsen　for　being　underage。

That’s　the　whole　reason　for　going　to　hotel　bars　in　the　first　place：　no

one　ever　cards。

“And　for　you；　sweetie？”　Missy　asked　Serena。

“Oh；　I　better　start　with　a　Cosmo；”　Serena　said；　and　laughed。　“I　need

something　pink　to　go　with　my　dress。”

Missy　hurried　away　to　fetch　the　drinks；　eager　to　tell　the　bartender

that　the　girl　in　the　Remi　brothers’　photo　that　was　all　over　town　was

sitting　in　their　bar　and　they　were　pals！

“Sorry　I’m　late；”　Serena　told　Blair；　looking　around。　“I　thought

everyone　else　would　be　here　with　you。”

Blair　shrugged　her　shoulders　and　took　a　long　drag　on　her　dwindling

cigarette。　“I　thought　we　could　hang　out　by　ourselves　for　a　while；”

she　said。　“No　one　really　es　out　until　later；　anyway。”

“Okay；”　Serena　said。　She　smoothed　out　her　dress　and　dug　around　in

her　little　red　purse　for　her　own　pack　of　cigarettes。　Gauloises；　from

France。　She　tapped　one　out　and　stuck　it　in　her　mouth。　“Want　one？”

she　offered　Blair。

Blair　shook　her　head　no。

“They’re　kind　of　strong；　but　the　box　is　too　cool；　I　don’t　care。”　Serena

laughed。　She　was　about　to　light　up　with　a　pack　of　bar　matches；

when　the　bartender　swooped　in　with　a　lighter。

“Thanks；”　she　said；　raising　her　eyes　to　look　at　him。　The　bartender

winked　at　her　and　swiftly　stepped　back　behind　the　bar。　Missy

brought　them　their　drinks。

“To　old　times；”　Serena　said；　clinking　her　glass　against　Blair’s　and

taking　a　long　sip　on　her　pink　Cosmopolitan。　She　sat　back　on　her

stool　and　sighed　with　pleasure。　“Don’t　you　just　love　hotels？”　she

said。　“They’re　so　full　of　secrets。”

Blair　raised　her　eyebrows　at　Serena　in　silent　response；　sure　that

Serena　was　about　to　tell　her　all　the　wild　and　crazy　things　that　had
