Re: Serena arrives! 11 PM
If looks could kill, Carter Baizen would be dead on the floor. While it might have been a joke to him, Serena was far from amused. Didn't he understand how vile and reprehensible Chuck Bass was? She would rather be broke and homeless than take money from him or his father. Ever.
"Maybe you should marry him," she shot back sharply. "It sounds like you could use the money and gay marriage is legal in New York state now." She regretted the bitter tone almost as soon as it had left her mouth but she couldn't retract it now. If anyone or anything could ruin her night it would be Chuck Bass.
"Sorry," she said quickly, instantly regretting losing her temper. Hadn't she already learned her lesson with Dan when she had taken her anger out on him? Then again, Dan hadn't exactly openly mocked her situation and had seemed more sympathetic than Carter had. And it became so very clear then that Carter was very much the old Serena's way. Dan was new Serena and Serena wanted to be new Serena.
