gossip girl 9 英文- 第26部分

？Sorry；？　Nate　mumbled；　ing　back　to　reality。　

？It？s　cool。？　Anthony　pulled　up　to　a　red　light。　Three　girls　sauntered　by　in　bikini　tops　and　surf　
shorts。　They　were　only　about　thirteen　but　they　were　still　cute。　？So　what？s　the　deal　with　that　Tawny　
chick；　man？　She？s　hot。？　

？Yeah；？　Nate　replied；　passing　the　joint　back。　？She？s　cool。　I　don？t　know；　though。　Maybe　I？m　off　
girls　right　now　or　something。？　

Anthony　burst　out　laughing；　choking　a　little　on　the　joint。　？Right；　right。　I？ve　heard　that　before。？　

？Shit；　man；？　Nate　clarified。　？She？s　just　no　Blair；　you　know　what　I　mean？？　

？Well；　there？s　only　one　Blair；？　replied　Anthony　in　his　stoner　drawl；　stubbing　out　the　roach　in　the　
car？s　built…in　ashtray。　He　ran　his　hand　through　his　beach…blond　shag　of　hair。　？So；　you　two　getting　
back　together？？　

Nate　shook　his　head　miserably。　He　was　stuck　with　life　as　an　indentured　servant。　Blair　was　busy　
being　a　fashion　maven。　He？d　been　so　stupid；　always　fucking　everything　up　with　her；　always　taking　
her　for　granted　or　mistakenly　hooking　up　with　her　best　friend　or　whatever；　that　he？d　been　blind　to　


the　reality　that　without　Blair　his　life　was　nothing。　

Looks　like　Blair　isn？t　the　only　drama　queen。　

back　to　the　scene　of　the　crime　

Serena　crept　up　the　creaky　metal　steps　to　her　trailer　quietly？　or　as　quietly　as　was　possible　in　her　
clunky　metallic　silver　Michael　Kors　wedges。　She　wasn？t　even　supposed　to　be　there；　the　actors　had　
all　been　released　from　their　duties　and　the　only　people　around　were　the　crew　responsible　for　
striking　the　set。　But　Serena　had　decided　to　tag　along　with　Blair　that　Wednesday？she　wanted　to　
grab　the　tiny　black　dress　that　Bailey　Winter　had　designed　for　her　to　wear；　as　Holly；　in　the　climactic　
party　scene　in　the　movie。　It　was　the　perfect　thing　to　wear　to　herreal　party　the　next　night。　

Stepping　into　the　trailer；　Serena　switched　on　the　light　and　closed　the　flimsy　door　behind　her。　The　
vanity　was　still　littered　with　makeup　and　hair　supplies；　and　all　of　her　costumes；　lovingly　labeled　
and　steamed　to　perfection　by　Blair？s　stalker/intern；　were　hung；　an　inch　apart；　on　a　rolling　rack。　

Gotcha。　Serena　grabbed　the　perfect　little　black　dress。　It　was　cut　to　fit　her　proportions　exactly；　and　
though　the　thin　shoulder　straps　were　covered　with　a　subtle　spray　of　jet…black　bead…ing；　it　was　
otherwise　sleek　and　simple。　This　was　so　much　easier　than　shopping。　

Right；　shopping　is　a　total　drag。　

Tearing　open　the　plastic　cover　that　kept　the　dust　at　bay；　Serena　slipped　the　dress　off　its　hanger　
and　wadded　it　up　into　her　bag。　Technically；　she　wasn？t　supposed　to　just　help　herself　to　the　
costumes。　Stealing　it　out　of　the　trailer　gave　her　a　rush　she？d　only　experienced　one　other　time；　
when　she　was　ten　and　stole　a　Bonne　Belle　bubblegum　Lip　Smacker　from　Boyd？s。　A　knock　on　the　
trailer　door　made　her　freeze；　petrified。　

？Who　is　it？？　she　asked　shakily；　quickly　zipping　up　her　orange　Herm？s　canvas　tote。　

？Thad？？　A　thin；　gorgeously　tanned　guy　poked　his　head　through　the　trailer　door。　His　spiky　brown　
hair　was　in　artful　disarray；　and　beneath　his　perfectly　arched　eyebrows　his　eyes　were　huge　and　
green；　with　long；　beautiful　lashes。　He　wore　a　snug　black　sleeveless　tee　and　sported　intricate　tattoos　
of　fish　up　and　down　his　long；　skinny　arms。　

？No；　it？s　me；？　Serena　apologized。　？Thad？s　trailer　is　the　next　one　over。？　

？Oh　my　gosh！？　The　boy　blushed　deeply。　？I？mso　sorry。　I　guess　I　should　know　better　than　to　go　
charging　into　trailers。？　


？No；　no；　it？s　okay。？　Serena　relaxed　when　she　realized　he　wasn？t　there　to　bust　her　for　
stealing。　？I？m　Serena。？　

？Oh　my　gosh；　hi！？　the　stranger　cried；　skipping　into　the　trailer；　wallet　chain　jingling；　hands　
extended；　letting　the　door　slam　behind　him。　

So　much　for　stealing　clothes　in　the　still　of　the　night。　

？Oh　my　gosh；Serena　。　It？s　so　good　to　meet　you　finally。？　He　grabbed　her　free　hand　in　both　of　his　
and　held　it。　

？Um；　you　too；？　she　stammered。　He　had　the　faintest　accent　that　she　couldn？t　quite　place　and　she　
was　drawing　a　total　blank。　Was　she　supposed　to　know　this　guy？　

？Damn；　would　you　look　at　me？　Just　barging　in　here？　You？re　in　the　middle　of　something　and　I　
just　swoop　in　like　any　gushing　fan　off　the　street。　I？m　so　sorry。　You　must　think　I？m　crazy。？　The　boy　
released　her　hand　and　shook　his　head；　laughing。　

？No；　no；　I？m　not　busy　or　anything；？　she　lied；　clutching　her　tote　close　to　her　chest。　？I　was　just　
picking　up　something　I　left　behind。？　

？So　Thad　said　you　guys　are　all　done　shooting？？　the　boy　asked。　？Do　you　mind　if　I　sit？　I？m　gonna　
sit。？　He　settled　into　the　chair　in　front　of　the　vanity　and　crossed　his　legs。　

　Please　sit。　

？Yeah；　we？re　done。　Thank　God！？　Serena　tried　not　to　look　as　perplexed　as　she　felt。　Whowas　this　
guy？　

？It？s　crazy　work；　but　somebody？s　got　to　do　it。？　He　recrossed　his　legs　and　leaned　back；　studying　
her　from　head　to　toe。　？But　you　look　fabulous。　Gorgeous。　Just　like　Thad　said。？　

？Right。　Thad；？　she　repeated；　growing　suspicious。　

？Oh　my　gosh；　I　totally　didn？t　introduce　myself。　I　have　a　tendency　to　do　that。　I　just　talk　and　talk；　
because　I　get　nervous　usually；　although　you？re　so　sweet　and　pretty　I　don？t　see　how　you　could　
make　anyone　nervous；　unless　it　was　some　boy　who　wanted　to　ask　you　out。。。。？　

Serena　blushed。　Who　was　this　person？　

？And　I？m　still　babbling；？　he　continued。　？Oh　my　gosh；　I？m　so　stupid　sometimes。　I？m　Serge。　It？s　
so　great　to　meet　you　finally。？　

？Serge；？　she　repeated。Serge？　Serge？　Who　the　hell　was　Serge？　


？Serge。　Thad？s　boyfriend？？　he　clarified。　？I　can？t　believe　it？s　been　so　long　and　we　haven？t　met　
before　now。　I？ll　have　to　punch　Thad　when　I　see　him。　Keeping　us　apart　like　this。　Ridiculous。？

　Thad？s　。。。what？　

？Oh；　Thad　talks　about　you　so　much；？　she　lied。　？I　can？t　believe　that　we　never　met　either。？　

？I　guess　itkind　of　makes　sense；？　Serge　admitted；　grabbing　a　tub　of　concealer　off　the　vanity　and　
fiddling　with　it。　？We？ve　got　to　be　kind　of　discreet；　so　most　of　the　time　I？m　just　sitting　around　my　
room。　I　mean；　we？re　not　even　in　the　samehotel　。　I？m　holed　up　at　the　Mercer。　But　you　know　how　it　
is？you？ve　been　posing　with　those　photos　with　him　all　around　town。　You？re　the　sweetest。　We　both　
really　appreciate　it。？　

Those　photos？　The　kiss　had　been　just　for　photographers？　Thad　had　been　using　her？　Serena　
slumped　against　the　wall。　She　couldn？t　believe　she？d　been　so　mistaken。　She？d　thought　they？d　had　
a　real　connection；　but　he　was　just　a　beautiful　gay　guy　with　an　adorable　boyfriend　he　had　to　keep　
secret。　She　had　to　sit　down。　

？Yeah。？　Serena　dropped　her　bag　on　the　ground　and　took　a　seat　on　the　builtin　sofa；　kicking　off　her　
wedges　and　curling　her　legs　up　underneath　her。？Well；you　know；Thad？s　the　greatest。　I？m　just　
happy　to　help　out。？　She　sighed。　It　was　almost　the　truth。　She　should　have　been　annoyed　or　mad　or　
hurt　or　something；　but　really；　she　couldn？t　believe　she　hadn？t　figured　it　out　sooner。　

Not　that　she？d　gotten　too　many　clues。　

？I　told　him　he　was　so　lucky　to　be　working　with　such　an　awesome　costar。　I　mean；　sometimes　his　
leading　ladies　get　so　crazy　and　possessive　they　actually　think　they？redating　。　It？s　like　they　can？t　
tell　the　difference　between　fantasy　and　reality。　I　mean；　hello？　It？s　justpretend　。？

　？Mmm。？　Serena　nodded。　

？But　not　you；？　Serge　gushed。　？You？re　like　an　old　pro；　even　though　this　is　your　first　movie！　I　
want　you　to　be　in　all　of　Thad？s　movies　from　now　on。　Promise　you　will！？　

？Oh；　stop。？　Serena　giggled。　It　was　hard　to　be　upset　or　hurt　when　both　Thaddeus　and　his　boyfriend　
were　sonice。　

？No；　I　mean　it；？　Serge　cried；　leaping　out　of　his　seat　and　throwing　himself　onto　the　couch　next　to　
her。　？Youhave　to　e　to　our　place　in　Palm　Springs　for　the　weekend。　We？ll　have　such　a　ball！　And　
if　you？re　interested　。。。　I　think　I　might　know　an　awesome　guy　for　you。？　

？Oh；　really？？That　sounded　fun。　


And　she　could　definitely　trust　his　taste　in　men！

claims　to　be　taking　me；　but　I　suspect　he？s　bluffing　and　at　the　last　minute　his　Jeep　will　break　down

Q：　
Dear　GG；　
I　was　just　in　Amsterdam　with　my　family　and　managed　to　sneak　away　to　check　out　the　real　sights。　
After　smoking　some　hash　in　a　coffee　shop；　I　swear　I　saw　that　girl　J　dancing　in　a　window　in　the　red　
light　district。　Now　I　wish　I？d　asked　for　a　lap　dance。　Tell　me　it　was　her！　
？Despr8　


　A：　
Dear　Despr8；　
Sorry。　Her　parents　might　be　alternative；　but　I？m　afraid　our　J　isn？t。　She？s　off　studying　fine　art　and　
maybe　the　fine　art　of　fine　boys；　but　lap　dancing　in　the　red　light　district　and　skeezy　tourists　are　not　
part　of　the　curriculum。
