Bratz: Falling Apart
Chapter 1: Oh So Suspicious
"They tried to catch a falling star, thinking that she had come too far." sounded the music from Yasmin's earplugs from her iPod. She was walking out of the school with her backpack on her back. It was a sunny and breezy winter afternoon in Stilesville, and school was letting out for the day. Yasmin stopped and took her earplugs out of her ear to wait for the girls. She saw down on the bench and looked around. Parents were there picking up their kids, the buses were loading up, just a normal afternoon when school was letting out. As she sat there, she started to think about her mother. Her mom had started acting really weird. She was coming in at midnight, and Yasmin had found a strange number that had fallen out of her mother's jacket pocket. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt an arm around her. She looked at and saw Cameron. "Hey." he said. "Hey." she said. They kissed and Cameron asked, "What's up?" "Nothing I guess," Yasmin answered as she dug through her handbag to get her car keys. "Just wondering about my mother, like why she's acting all weird." "Don't worry about that," Cameron said. "Your mom's okay." "I guess." Yasmin said. "Yasmin." said a voice. Yasmin turned around and saw her friends. "Hey." she said. "Hey girl," Sasha said. "Hi Cam." "Hey." Cameron said as he dug his hands into his coat pocket. "Where's Dana and Nevra?" Yasmin asked. "They went home early," Meygan explained. "They both got sick, they had a really bad headache and stuff." "Oh," Yasmin said. "Well, let me get home, I'll talk to you guys later." "Okay," Sasha said as she zipped her coat up. "Call you later." "Okay." Yasmin said. She softly kissed Cameron, then got into her car, then drove on off.
As Yasmin pulled up into the driveway, she just thought about confronting her mother. She parked her car, got out, spoke to her neighbor, and went into the house. When she got in there, and after putting her stuff down, she went into the kitchen. While she was in there, she noticed a note on the counter. She picked up the note and noticed it was from her mother. The note read:
Yasmin,
I went shopping with Connie, you know, our neighbor.
Anyway, I'll be back around nine, and there's some stuff in
the fridge for you to make you some dinner if your dad doesn't get home by six.
Then again, since you can drive, you can go out and get some food
if you want. Sometimes I forget that you can drive. Anyway
see you later. I love you.
-Mommy
Yasmin read over the note, wondering if she had read something wrong. "Mom couldn't have went shopping with Ms. Connie," she thought. "I just saw Ms. Connie outside and I waved at her." She put the note down and looked in the fridge. She just wondered why her mother would lie like that. "She's hiding something." she thought. She poured herself some juice then went into the living room. She sat down in the floor and started watching TV. She watched TV for a while until she heard someone coming in the door. She turned around and saw her dad coming in. "Daddy." she said. Enrique looked up and said, "Hi princess." He hugged her and said, "Where's your mom?" "She went shopping." Yasmin answered not wanting to give too much out. "Oh." Enrique said. He went into the kitchen and asked, "You hungry?" "Yeah," Yasmin answered. "Can we go out and get burritos and tacos?" "Sure." Enrique said. He got his wallet and put his coat back on. Yasmin put her coat on then said, "I'm ready." "Let's go then," Enrique said. "Let me just leave your mom a note too." He left his wife a note then he and Yasmin left.
The smell of Mexican food like tacos and burritos filled the atmosphere at Hola, the coolest Mexican restauraunt in Stilesville. Yasmin and her dad were talking over tacos and enchilidas. "So," Enrique began to ask. "How was school today?" "It was okay," Yasmin answered as she took a bite of her taco. "I got a ninety-five on my Art and Literature test." "Very good princess," Enrique said giving his daughter a high-five. "See, I told you that you'd love that Mr. Del Rio character, he's a good teacher from what I hear." "He's okay I guess," Yasmin said. "But sometimes, I just want to choke him." Enrique laughed and asked, "Seriously?" "Yeah," Yasmin answered, laughing as well. "And it's not funny, he can seriously be a pain sometimes, he's more of a pain than Dylan, now that's a bad pain." She laughed along with her dad. After talking for a while longer, they left and went off to Wal-Mart to buy up some stuff. After doing that, they went home.
"Thanks dad," Yasmin said as they walked into the house around ten that night. "I needed some fun." "No problem princess," Enrique said. "Fun is my middle name." He closed the door. "I thought it was Mario." Yasmin joked. "Funny," Enrique said. "Now head on up to bed." "Okay." Yasmin said. She hugged her dad then went upstairs with her shopping bag. When she was looking in her closet, she heard her mom on the phone, giggling and crap, like she did when she talked on the phone to Cameron. She snuck down the hall and peeked around the corner into her parents room. Her mom was on the phone, talking in a hushed tone. "Okay," she said. "I love you too Joey, bye." She hung up the phone and Yasmin went back to her room. "Who's Joey," she thought. "I don't have an uncle named Joey, and my dad's dad isn't named Joey, unless." What if her mom was cheating on her dad? "No," Yasmin said. "Mom wouldn't do that." She sat down at her computer and went straight to MySpace. The girls were on so they started IM-ing with Skype.
BunnyBoo016: Hey Pretty P. What's up with the sad smiley thing?
PrettyPrincess101: Girls, I think that my mom's cheating on my dad.
AngelGrl56: Why do you think that?
KoolKat23: Yeah, your mom wouldn't do that.
PrettyPrincess101: Then why is she giggling like a little school girl. Like me when I'm talking to Cameron on the phone. She's cheating on him with some guy named Joey because I heard her say, 'I love you Joey', before she said bye.
AngelGrl56: That does seem kinda strange, considering the fact that you have no uncles whose name is Joey, and you said that your grandfather's name wasn't Joey, the one off your dad's side I meant.
PrettyPrincess101: See, at least you agree with me.
KoolKat23: Maybe you just shouldn't get involved Pretty P.
PrettyPrincess101: I don't know, I just don't know, let me log off, I gotta get some sleep.
BunnyBoo016: Okay, see you tomorrow at school.
Yasmin signed off of Skype and went to bed.
