something。
Jenny had thought Dan？s graduation would be relatively painless and boring。 She hadn？t even
minded when her dad had changed her ticket to Prague to leave tomorrow morning instead of
yesterday so she wouldn？t miss it。 He？d get his diploma while she and Rufus whispered to each
other and heckled his nerdy classmates。 Then they？d go eat Chinese at Dan？s favorite place on
Broadway； and later she？d drag Dan out to that party Blair Waldorf was rumored to be hosting at
the Yale Club？a party that she was absolutely determined not to miss。
Instead； their whole family was falling apart； and she was freaking out。
She and Dan had basically stopped being nice to each other when Jenny had spent the night in a
Plaza Hotel room with the members of the Raves and then proceeded to record a song with them
on the same day they fired Dan。 At home it seemed like Dan could do no wrong。 He was a
published author and an A student。 He？d had his pick of colleges to go to； including Brown； Colby；
NYU； and Evergreen。 Their dad boasted about his achievements all the time。 Jenny was an even
better student； but ever since Mrs。 McLean had requested that she not return to Constance next
year； she？d felt like Dan？s naughty little sister。 The fact that overprotective Rufus had actually
agreed to let her go to boarding school made it even more clear： Dan was the good one； and she
was the bad one。
But now here she was； holding her dad？s hand and pretending to be totally calm and mentally
stable while she was really wondering what was going to bee ofher next year。 If only she
could take Dan？s place at Evergreen。 It was supposed to be arty？she？d probably do fine。
