almost　100　points　higher　than　Serena　on　the　practice　SAT。

Way　back　in　fifth　grade；　Serena　had　told　Nate　she　was　pretty　sure　Blair　had　a　crush　on　him。　He

started　to　notice　that　Blair　did　stick　her　chest　out　when　he　was　looking；　and　she　was　always　either

bossing　him　around　or　fixing　his　hair。　Of　course　Blair　never　admitted　that　she　liked　him；　which

And　if　you　can？t　kiss　your　best　friend；　whocan　you　kiss？
