stepbrother；A ； have been romping unfettered and partially clothed in coffee shops and on park
benches all over Williamsburg。 Nothing like a little PDA to lightV ？s fire！
As forN ； you？d think he？d be on top of the world after scoring the city？s most desirable blond
bombshell？right in front ofB ； in the pool house bathtub during the girls？ senior cut day party out
in Southampton； no less。 But no。 Have you seen him lately？ Red…rimmed eyes； dirty tissues
streaming from his pockets； lackluster disposition。 Our golden boy appears to be in a terrible funk。
Or maybe he caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of those French tramps he？s always
rumored to be hooking up with。 See？ It doesn？t pay to be too greedy。 Not that that ever stopped us。

Q： Dear GG；
I？m going to Vassar next year and I？ve been in love with this boy since I was like three； and I
just found out he？s going to Vassar too！ I？m so excited； but I？m worried I？m going to spend so
much time trying to get him to talk to me； I won？t even realize I？m at college； you know？
？Ivstrk
A： Dear Ivstrk；
Forgive me for being blunt； but I have a feeling you？ve already spent a lot of time trying to get
this guy to talk to you。 Wait till you get to Vassar？there？s going to be a whole new group of
adorable boys you？ve never seen before； and some of them might be even more loveworthy。 And
since most dorms are coed these days； you can？tavoid talking to them！
？GG
Sightings
BandV buying potted basil plants at aWilliamsburg farmer？s market。 Maybe the gay rumors
about them are true！？C entering aGreenwich Village barbershop to have his head shaved and
exiting with his hair longer than before and with platinum highlights。 No way will he last even a
month at military school。N standing on the roof of the Met； mournfully surveyingCentral Park 。
Looks like our favorite stoner playboy has been struck with a bad case of ennui。D checking out
bashed…up Buicks at some seedy used car lot inHarlem 。 Not that he even knows how to operate a
gearshift。J taking a solo SSAT？the boarding school admissions exam？on a Saturday in the
headmistress？s office at Constance Billard。 She？s determined to go； and her school is even more
determined to get rid of her！
All you have to do is pass
My advice： Don？t miss a Zac Posen sample sale or a Stella McCartney trunk show for one of
those silly everything…we…ever…learned pre？final exam cram sessions the teachers ？remend？
you attend after school。 Do pour yourself a goblet of well…chilled pinot grigio and casually read
through your notebooks。 All you have to do is pass； and believe me； you？re a lot smarter than you
think。 Good luck； my darlings。 Can？t wait to see you at graduation！
You know you love me。

A WAVERLY OWL DOES NOT DISCUSS HALF…NAKEDNESS WITH STRANGERS
Somebody？s plaid Jack Spade duffel slammed into Jenny Humphrey？s shin and jerked her out of
a dream。 The 10A。M 。 Amtrak Empire Service to Rhinecliff； New York； had stopped in
Poughkeepsie； and a tall； twentyish； stubbly chinned boy in dark brown square Paul Smith glasses
and a Decemberists T…shirt was standing over her。
？Anybody sitting here？？ he asked。
？Nope；？ she responded groggily； scooting over。 He threw his bag under the seat and settled in
next to Jenny。
The train groaned along at about a mile an hour。 Jenny sniffed at the stale； slightly sweaty train
car air and jiggled her foot； thinking about how she was going to be super…late for check…in at
Waverly Academy。 She would？ve been early if her dad； Rufus； had driven her up here in his blue
beater Volvo wagon？he？d practically begged Jenny to let him？but Jenny hadn？t wanted her
unshaven； peacenik father to drop her off at her brand…new； haute boarding school。 Knowing him；
he？d have tried to start up an impromptu poetry slam with her new classmates and shown off old
pictures of Jenny when she was a lame seventh grader and wore nothing but fluorescent green and
orange Old Navy fleeces。 Um； no thanks。
？Going to Waverly？？ the boy asked。 He raised his eyebrows at theWaverly Academy Guide to
Ethics that sat unopened in Jenny？s lap。
Jenny brushed a brown tendril out of her eyes。 ？Yeah；？ she answered。 ？I？m starting there this
year。？ She couldn？t hide the enthusiasm in her voice？she was so excited to start her brand…new
boarding school that she felt all jiggly inside； like she had to pee。
？Freshman？？
？Nope。 Sophomore。 I used to go to Constance Billard。 It？s in the city。？ Jenny was a little pleased
that she had a relatively chic past to refer to； or that it at least sounded that way。
？So you wanted a change of pace； or what？？ He fiddled with the strap of his worn leather
watchband。
Jenny shrugged。 This boy looked like he was her brother Dan？s age。 Dan had just taken off for
Evergreen College on the West Coast two days ago； taking nothing with him except for two duffel
bags； his Mac G4 laptop； and two cartons of cigarettes。 Jenny； on the other hand； had already
shipped four oversize boxes and a couple of giant duffels to Waverly； and had lugged a giant
suitcase and an overstuffed bag with her。 In her hyperexcited preparation for boarding school； she
had practically bought out the hair； cosmetics； and feminine products aisles at CVS？who knew
what she？d need at boarding school！ She？d also gone on a buying spree at Club Monaco； J。Crew；
and Barneys with the credit card her dad had lent her for back…to…school shopping。 ？Kinda；？ she
finally answered。
The truth was； she？d been asked to leave Constance？apparently because she was considered
a ？bad influence？ on the other girls。 Jenny hadn？t thought she was being a bad influence at all？she
was just trying to have fun； like every other girl at school。 But somehow； all of her moments of
extreme fun had also been highly publicized and embarrassing： a picture of her boobs in a sports
bra had shown up in a magazine （she？d thought it was a sportswear model shoot）； a Webcast of
her practically naked butt had been spread around the school； and she？d made some bad decisions
about which boys she should make out with at various parties？and of course everybody had found
out。
The final straw had e after Jenny had spent a night at the Plaza Hotel with her brother？s old
band； the Raves。 A photograph of her leaving the Plaza in nothing but a fluffy white bathrobe had
appeared online on Page Six the next day。 Rumors had flown that Jenny was sleeping withall the
Raves；including her brother。 Ew！ Concerned parents quickly called up the Constance headmistress；
aflutter about Jenny？s promiscuity。 After all； Constance had a reputation for excellence to uphold！
Although Jenny hadn？t even been withone Rave； let alone all of them； she hadn？t exactly wanted
todeny the rumor？she kind of loved that everyone was talking about her。 So as she？d sat with the
Constance Billard headmistress； Ms。 McLean； in her patriotic red； white； and blue office back in
the city； Jenny had realized something huge： it wasn？t the end of the world to get kicked out of
Constance。 This was her chance to start over； to reinvent herself as the blunder…free sophisticate
she？d always wanted to be。 And where was the classiest place to start over？ Boarding school； of
course。
Much to her dad？s chagrin？she was pretty sure Rufus wanted her to live with him in their Upper
West Side apartment forever？Jenny had rabidly researched a whole bunch of schools and toured a
few。 The first school had turned out to have a strict disciplinary code and had been too boring for
words。 Within minutes of getting to the second school； on the other hand； she？d been offered
Ecstasy and had taken her top off。 But just like the third bed for Goldilocks； the third school that
Jenny had tested； Waverly； was just right。
Well； to tell the truth； she hadn？t actually visited Waverly？she？d run out of time； applied way
past the deadline； and taken some creative liberties with her application？but she？d looked at
thousands of pictures online and memorized all the building names and campus maps。 She was
certain it would be perfect。
？I used to go to Waverly？s rival；？ the boy said； pulling a book out of his bag。 ？St。 Lucius。 Our
school hated your school。？
？Oh；？ Jenny replied quietly； sinking into her seat。
？I？m kidding。？ He smiled and turned back to his book。 Jenny noticed it was Henry
Miller？sTropic of Cancer ； one of her dad？s favorites。 According to Rufus； it had been banned
because it was too right…on in its vicious social mentary about love and sex in New York City。
