“I take more APs than anyone else in my class, and I have an A average,” Blair complained.

“Then you should have applied early admission,” Stan 5 advised.

“But you don't understand. I kissed my interviewer,” Blair whispered loudly, sounding like a broken record. “My college advisor said there was no way she'd take me early.”

Stan 5 shrugged. “Smaller pool of applicants. Better chance to shine.”

Blair gritted her teeth to hold back a volley of expletives. She'd planned on applying to Yale early admission since she was thirteen years old. Why had she listened to clueless, bloody-nosed, wig-wearing Ms. Glos and not trusted her instincts? And why hadn't she met Stan 5 like, a year ago, when he could have been really useful?

They were lying on their stomachs on the double bed in the room Stan 5's grandfather kept for him, and had already thumbed through every Yale catalog since 1947, laughing at the clothes people wore and the corny phrases underneath the photos. Things like, “Here's looking at you kid!” and “Ain't nobody here but us chickens!” The room was decorated with Yale paraphernalia: Yale swim team pennants, Stan III's B.A. in English and dramatic arts, a New Haven newspaper article featuring Stan III as one of Yale's most gifted young actors, and a yellow card from the Yale University registrar listing every semester old Stan had made the dean's list.

“It looks like your grandfather's whole life,” Blair observed. Her shoes where half on, half off, and she bounced them up and down on the ends of her toes.

Stan 5 rolled over and looked at the ceiling. “Yeah,” he answered hollowly.

Blair wasn't sure why he sounded so bummed. After all, Yale was her whole life too, but she was the one still stuck on the wait list.

Stan 5 reached out and twirled a strand of Blair's dark hair around his finger. “We should stop talking about this,” he told her letting the twirl go, “Or you're going to get serisouly depressed.”

“But-” Blair started to say. Exactly when were they going to devise a plan to get her into Yale?

Stan 5 rolled over and grabbed her arms, pulling her toward him. “We should stop talking period,” he said, his eyes hungrily searching her face. “Like I said, my grandfather and I are really close. So don't worry about getting in, okay?”

This was the part in the movie where the music was supposed to slow down, heads were supposed to meet, and boy and girl were supposed to kiss so passionately that their clothes would wind up in a pile on the floor while the windows steamed up. Stan 5 was going to get her into Yale! But for some reason- maybe it was the quantity of Yale paraphernalia on the walls and all over the floor, or maybe it was because she'd drunk four glasses of champagne at a party she hadn't been invited to, or maybe it was because kissing any other boy other than Nate felt truly naughty- Blair couldn't manage to close her eyes and kiss Stanford Parris V.
