The six of them sat on the couch, anticipating the lowering of the screen, waiting for it, but after moments nothing. Suddenly, the doors to the meeting room opened and Mrs. Clark walked in, smiling.
"Well, I must congratulate you all," she said looking around at them, "you survived two months together. You've learned things about each other you probably never wanted to know, made some unlikely friends…or in some cases, more than just friends. You've laughed, loved, and lost. And you've been tormented long enough. The last thing we ask of you is that you write a letter or a small note to each person in this room before you leave and you may read them any time you choose, outside of here."
And they wrote, they put the letters into piles for each person before standing up at the door, waiting for Mrs. Clark's dismissal.
"We express our deepest gratitude for participating in this experiment," she said with a smile, "now go out, enjoy the sun and remember…you have school on Monday."
The six of gathered their letters and headed out of the apartment, for once not breaking apart into couples instead, heading out on their own, wanting some semblance that there was other life on the planet than those they had been with for two months.
LETTERS TO NATE
I guess I'm okay with you being with Serena. She's happy, and while I still love her, she and I have become two different people. Although, I'm not sure how long Blair and I will last considering she has a reputation to maintain at school and I don't think I fit into that. Nice hanging with you Nate.
D.
So, you're a pretty gorgeous boy, and a good kisser, but you were a sucky boyfriend.
J.
Hm, looks like no matter how hard I tried Natie, you and I weren't meant to be. I think I'll always love you Archibald, but I'm done trying to have perfection with you. If you haven't noticed, I kind of like them rough around the edges now.
B.
Are you ever gonna forgive me for sleeping with B.?
C.
Yay! I get to write a letter to my boyfriend. I'll just tell you here what I tell you every day. I love you Nathanial Archibald. BTW, our next date better not be dinner and dancing, that's too cheesy romantic for me. :D
S.
LETTERS TO DAN
Why should I write a letter to you? I'll see you at home later.
J.
Have fun dealing with the drama that comes with being Blair's boyfriend.
N.
…You're sister is still hot…
C.
I'm sorry if I broke your heart. You're still the first boy I ever trusted with my heart Dan. But I'm glad you're happy with Blair now. See you around.
S.
So, I know you're morally opposed to everything with the Upper East Side, but we need to have a coming out party, and that means Armani for you. I'll see you tomorrow for your fitting.
B.
LETTERS TO SERENA
Can't wait to be your brother.
C.
God, I don't know what I'd do without S. We need to go shopping later, and grab some coffee...but mostly shopping…I haven't been shopping in forever.
B.
I guess I should apologize for getting with Blair, but we both made mistakes in the relationship and I'm not too sorry they happened. I loved you, I really did, but we just became two different people.
D.
Please, please, please don't tell anyone my secret. Especially Chuck.
J.
I love you Serena van der Woodsen.
N.
LETTERS TO BLAIR
I wish we could have worked Blair, but you're just too much drama for me.
N.
I love my best friend Blair Cornelia Waldorf! Audrey on Sunday!
S.
I can still hear you purring Waldorf.
C.
Sorry I didn't accept your apology, but you might want to work a bit harder if you want a girl to forgive you after exposing them.
J.
I don't know how or why it happened, but I'm glad it did. Lonely Boy has a new inspiration for his stories, one he finds far more interesting.
D.
LETTERS TO CHUCK
I guess I kind of forgive you.
N.
I'm going to hate being your step sister.
S.
You screwed up big time with Little J. Too bad you only know how to be a playboy and not a good boyfriend.
B.
Stay the hell away from my sister.
D.
I don't know if I'm angry at you anymore, or just disappointed. I believed in you, I believed you had changed, and now…I guess I have to live with the consequences of my actions.
J.
LETTERS TO JENNY
You are so incredibly stupid for fall for Chuck Bass, but I guess everyone makes mistakes.
D.
I see you enjoyed entertaining yourself with my leftovers…pathetic.
B.
Sorry we didn't work out. Sorry Blair screwed things up for you. Sorry Georgina nearly killed you. Sorry you fell for Chuck Bass.
N.
You need to tell him Jenny. He deserves to know.
S.
I think I'm in love with you.
C.
