so　it　wasn？t　hard　to　figure　out。　Then　she　crumpled　the　receipt　into　a　tight　little　ball　and　walked

past　the　skinny　blond　boy；　tossing　the　balled…up　receipt　hard　at　his　back　and　spinning　through　the

revolving　doors　before　he　had　a　chance　to　see　who　she　was。

Blair　Waldorf　making　an　effort　to　do　something　nice　for　someone　else？　Talk　about　a　makeover！

This　was　more　than　just　a　Jiffy　Lube　change　of　hairstyle。　Like　a　true　diva；　she　was　going　for　the

entire　weekend　spa　package；　including　the　spiritual　overhaul。

as　if　he　didn？t　have　it　good　enough　already

Just　as　Aaron　had　suspected；　there　was　a　cream…colored　envelope　from　Harvard　waiting　for　him

beside　the　Spode　china　milk　jug　of　white　roses　on　the　side　table　in　the　foyer　of　his　father　and

stepmother？s　East　Seventy…second　Street　penthouse　apartment。　Aaron　let　an　extremely　thirsty

Mookie　tear　down　the　hall　to　the　kitchen　with　his　leash　still　on　and　picked　up　the　letter　with　rigid

fingers。　Serena　was　waiting　expectantly　behind　him；　but　he　would　really　rather　have　opened　it

alone。What　if　he　didn？t　get　in？

Serena　slipped　out　of　her　coat　and　tossed　it　on　the　blue　toile？upholstered　chair　in　the　corner。　？I？ll

still　love　you　no　matter　what；？　she　said　breathlessly。

Aaron　stared　down　at　the　envelope；　annoyed　at　himself　for　feeling　so　tense。　He　was　usually

pretty　mellow　about　this　kind　of　thing。　？Fuck　it；？　he　declared　under　his　breath　and　tore　open　the

sealed　envelope。　He　unfolded　the　neatly　creased　cream…colored　piece　of　paper　and　read　the　short

paragraph　typed　on　it；　twice。　Then　he　looked　up　at　Serena。　？Uh…oh。？

Her　face　fell。　What　a　horrible　thing　for　her　sweet　love　to　go　through！　？Oh；　poor　baby。　I？m　so

sorry。？

Aaron　handed　her　the　letter　and　she　glanced　at　it　reluctantly。

Dear　Mr。　Rose；　We　have　reviewed　your　application　and　we　are　very　pleased　to　inform　you　of

your　acceptance　to　Harvard　University？s　class　of？Serena？s　blue　eyes　were　suddenly

enormous。　？You　got　in！　Oh　baby；　you　got　in！？

Behind　them；　Myrtle；　the　cook；　walked　briskly　down　the　hall　with　a　drooling；　panting　Mookie

trailing　after　her。　Her　light　yellow　maid？s　uniform　was　spattered　with　something　orangey…red　and

she　looked　pissed。

？Myrtle；　Aaron　got　intoHarvard　；？　Serena　announced　proudly。　She　put　her　arms　around　her

boyfriend　and　gave　him　a　squeeze。　？Isn？t　that　amazing？？

Myrtle　was　unimpressed。　She　thrust　Mookie？s　leash　at　Aaron；　her　fleshy　wrists　jangling　with

gold　bracelets　and　her　work…weary　hands　smelling　of　onions。　？Better　take　that　dog　with　you　where

you？re　going；？　she　chided　before　stomping　back　to　the　kitchen　in　her　new　white　Nike　tennis　shoes。

Serena　and　Aaron　grinned　mischievously　at　each　other。　？I　think　this　calls　for　a　little　celebration；

don？t　you？？　Aaron　asked；　his　relief　mutating　instantaneously　into　cockiness。

Serena　tweaked　his　adorable　freckled　nose　with　a　slender　forefinger。　？I　know　where　they　keep
