No -- I ' m going to law school at Harvard.

They look at her, confused.

MARGOT:

Why?!

SERENA:

I mean, I know you're upset and all, but

can't you just take a sedative?

Elle rolls her eyes at their naivete.

ELLE:

Once Warner sees me as a serious law

student, he'll want me back. It's a

completely brilliant plan!

MARGOT:

But isn't it kind of hard to get into law

school?

ELLE:

I have the highest GPA in Delta Gamma!

Margot pulls something off her wrist and hands it to Elle.

MARGOT:

Here. You're gonna need this.

ELLE:

Your scrunchie?

MARGOT:

My lucky scrunchie. It helped me pass

Spanish.

Serena rolls her eyes and looks at Margot disapprovingly.
