Because I'm Worth It; I Like It Like That; You're the One That I Want; Nobody Does It Better; Nothing Can Keep Us Together

All righty then!
Book 4. Nate meets crazy Georgie Sparks in rehab. Serena is asked to model during Fashion Week. Dan starts cheating on Vanessa with this weird girl named Mystery Craze. Blair almost has an affair with a married man. 
Book 5. Spring Break, and Blair goes to Utah with Serena's family and almost hooks up with her gorgeous older brother, Erik. Nate is there with Georgie, who seems to be there with the entire Dutch Olympic snowboarding team. Vanessa starts dating this dorky guy named Jordy, mostly to piss off her hippie freak parents. Dan's agent gets him an internship at a literary magazine and Dan makes a mess of it.
Book 6. Nate and Serena get into Yale (and everywhere else they applied) but Blair is wait listed and NOT HAPPY. Serena spends a wild weekend visiting all the colleges that accepted her so she can make a decision about which one to go to, but she spends all her time hooking up with random hotties. The lacrosse coaches from the different schools Nate got into come visit him and they're all female and try to come onto him. Jeez, ladies. Jail bait much? Blair reluctantly visits Georgetown, the only college that accepted her and ends us with a weird group of girls who seem a bit cult-ish. Jenny goes on a modeling job with Serena after a bad experience with a job that pretended to be for something other than what it was for. Dan moves in with Vanessa when her older sister Ruby goes to Europe and accidentally ends up the lead singer of an indie band called the Raves.

Book 7. Blair moves into the Plaza, now that her baby half-sister is born her penthouse feels a little crowded. Nate moves in with her briefly, but the intensity of the relationship get to him and he takes his parents' yacht on an ill timed joyride. Jenny is asked not to return to Constance in the fall after compromising pictures of her hanging out all night with the Raves appear in print. That's fine by Jenny: she wanted to go to boarding school and reinvent herself, anyway (and apparently got a spin off series of her own called "The It Girl"). Nate and Serena end up hooking up at a Senior Spa Weekend in the Hamptons. Blair moves in with Vanessa after Nate abandons her. Vanessa starts dating her stepbrother Aaron.



And finally (for now) book 8. Graduation! Blair moves into the Yale Club and meets a real British Lord. Nate gets in trouble for stealing his coach's Viagra (seriously?! He's seventeen. His parents should be worried about him). Vanessa starts cheating on Aaron with Dan, who has decided not to go to college after all in the fall. Blair gets into Yale. Serena is cast in a movie.
