been her
Breakfast at Fred’s
costar and was a true friend. But he wouldn’t mind if she stopped by to say hi and then went off to Chuck’s party.

“I’ll be there,” Serena chirped. She suddenly couldn’t wait for New Year’s Eve. How could she
not
go see her old high school crowd? While she may not have been thinking of them all that much recently, it wasn’t like she’d
