style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "did you hear about the new girl?" jeremy asked before passing the joint to anthony dern.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "at constance? yeah," anthony said, taking a drag. "apparently, she and rihanna got dirty in dubai or something."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i would've killed to see that," charlie said.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i heard that she had a thing with

ad pitt," anthony offered. "i mean, he's kind of old but it's still impressive."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "this girl must be hot if

ad cheated on angelina with her." charlie took the joint from anthony and took a drag. "i'll be her shoulder to cry on."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / nate rolled his eyes but still remained in tuned to the conversation. "do you even know her name?"

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "ariana?" jeremy guessed.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "no, stupid! it's adriana!"

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i think it starts with another letter," charlie

eathed.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / nate didn't really care about this new girl. he cared about blair and serena. they were friends again so why couldn't he be friends with serena? charlie passed the joint to him and nate took a hint.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "are you a fan of sharing?" a lilting feminine voice asked.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / nate slowly sat up but nearly fell back down at the beauty approaching him. the girl was tall and dark-skinned. her hair was nearly all the way out of its ponytail and she didn't seem to care. the orange, yellow, and red leaves of the surrounding trees blew around her, making her look like some sort of worldly wild girl who had seen everything. the kicker was her eyes though. they were big and so blue that they looked clear. they looked so filled with mysteries and secrets.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "depends who's asking," nate said, finally getting a grip on himself.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / the girl tossed her louis vuitton aside and sat down next to nate with her legs crossed. her head hung back lazily as she soaked in more sun.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i'd like to remain anonymous. the teachers don't need to know that i enjoy an occasional joint just yet," the girl said.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / jeremy mouthed to anthony, "this is the girl!"

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / charlie simply stared in awe of her.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "your secrets safe with us," jeremy said, siding up to her. "i'm jeremy."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "cute."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i'm charlie," he added quickly."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "sweet."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "i'm anthony."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "adorable."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / charlie punched anthony's arm. "you hear that, man? you're adorable."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / charlie and jeremy immediately burst into laughter and nate smiled a little. the girl aimed her

illiant eyes at him.

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "do you have a name?"

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / "nate."

style="line-height: 1.7em;" / the girl nodded thoughtfully. "i like it, it fits you." she gestured to the joint. "are you gonna share or not?"
