SATs

It was the morning of the SATs, which meant: cocktails, studying, tutors, and stress, which hopefully helped our minds for the test.

Blair invited the girls up to the penthouse for tutoring this morning , with a very smart idea.

Nelly Yuki. One of the smartest girls in Constance. The one who always chooses to be alone. No friends. Just intelligence.

We bribed her into joining us for tutoring, but it wasn't what she thought. Just massages and gossip.

We all arrived at school, greeted to a grumpy nelly.

"Rough day?" I asked as she walked up to us.

"Yeah, and not in a good way." She sighed, as she adjusted her glasses, and gripped onto her pencils.
"Todd doesn't wanna get back together."

"Oh no! But he said-.."

"We stayed up all night, having the same conversation about why we broke up over and over again." She sniffled as she dropped her calculator onto the pavement.

We all pitied her. Blair was very glad her plan was working. She picked up her calculator, and kept it in her hands as she took the 3 batteries out of the back.

"I got no sleep. Spent the whole night crying!" She wiped her tears that rolled  down from her tired eyes.

"Aw okay, well, good luck!!" I handed her the calculator, with a smile on my face.

She walked away from the group, as we all started walking to the entrance of the hall.

"Do you really think this is gonna work?" Penelope asked.

"Yes, but I also believe in insurance." Blair revealed her palm, which held 3 batteries.

I walked up to the desk, to check my name of the list.
Serena hasn't showed up, and she's been very distant from us lately.

"Hey Dan! Where's Serena?" I questioned as I walked up to him.

"Uh- I don't know. But I bet Chuck does." He sighed as he opened his cellphone, and entered Serena's name into it.

"Ugh, well, I'll try to save a seat for her."

"Yeah, I'll keep calling." He placed the phone to his ear, and left her a voicemail. And that was until he walked past a new girl he has never seen before, which said her name was Serena van Der Woodsen. Maybe someone is taking the test for her? Wait no. She would never do that. There has to be something wrong.

The exam finished, and me and Dan exited the hall together, trying to figure out the puzzle.

"How'd you do?" I asked him.

"Not my finest hour." He admitted,
"I finished but kind of had a lot on my mind."

"I'll keep calling." This was the 20th time I called her, and each time it goes straight to voicemail.

"Yeah, I think I know where to find her."

"Hey, S, it's E. now I'm really worried. I'm gonna go home and change then," I stopped mid sentence, my heart sunk. Seeing Nate with Vanessa is a very unexpected duo. Betrayal.
"Call me, bye." I hung the call once I found my words again.
