Next time I’ll try to sleep-text you, is that alright? I did fall off the face of the earth, as far as I could tell. Or maybe that was when I rolled off the bed. Hmph.
Yes, sleep-texting sounds better than no texting at all. Rolling off the bed? Have you been drinking too, Serena? Just kidding. I’ve missed you, so we should do something soon.

Illegal? Absolutely not. At least, I don’t think it’s illegal to go to class and then come home and crash for 36 hours. Is that illegal?
Thirty-six hours? Yes, I’m afraid that is illegal. Especially since I got no call or text, and thought you had fallen off the face of the earth. It’s bad enough that Dan hasn’t been around, but my best friend too? Complete blasphemy.

Oh, I’ve been around.
That sounds rather sinister, Serena. What have you been doing? Let’s hope nothing illegal, for your sake.

Where is Blair when I need her?
I’m right here, S. Where have you been?

Oh. Well that’s… different, I guess. You’re pregnant?
Yes, I am, about nine weeks now. Why do you look so surprised?

A surrogate mother and a homecooked meal? That sounds pretty nice. I talk to my parents daily, but it’s not exactly the same. I’m surprised you didn’t say Kentucky Fried chicken. A lot of New Yorkers feel the need to point that one out to me. What do you mean by interesting?
Home-cooked, yes, but not by my mother. We have a maid, who is actually an extended part of the family that does our cooking, but her meals are absolutely delicious. I would have pointed that out, if I’d ever had a meal there, which I haven’t because the idea of eating fried food is sickening. And not the best when you’re pregnant. Interesting, as in different, very vibrant. You and my sister, Aria would get on well.

He welcome me very briefly. He helped me with my bags and then had to disappear to do something. I was’t exactly sure. Well thank you for the offer. I’ll be sure to let you know. And to answer your question, I’m from Kentucky. I’d tell you what town, but really everything is all the same there. I’m just grabbing all my things and I’ll be down at the first floor in a few. Hope to see you soon!
Well, yes, that sounds like Tyler. Always preoccupied that one, but generally friendly. I’m sure my mother will be down soon, to welcome you herself and most likely invite you to dinner. She’s rather nurturing, and will probably attempt to be your substitute mother. Oh, Kentucky? Home of the famous Kentucky Derby, how interesting - much like your fashion sense.
I did have a minor run-in with Tyler. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. You’re totally welcome to join me if you want. I’m not going to class today and laying out by the pool sounds fantastic.
I hope he was a perfect gentleman, and welcomed you to the city. Things have been quite hectic for us all, to say the least, otherwise I would have welcomed you myself. I hope you’ve settled in, though and if you need anything, we live in the Penthouse. Where are you from, by the way? Tyler said a small town, but his information is hardly reliable when he’s confronted with an attractive female. Thank you for the offer, I definitely think I’ll be joining you soon. Some vitamin D is exactly what I need.
