Chapter 4: Getting Worse
5 Months Later
It had been 5 months since the incident, and Yasmin still wasn't right. Her mom's boyfriend, or the guy she cheated with, Joey, had moved in and today, his daughters were coming from New York to live with them permanently, and on top of that, her parents were fighting for the custody of her. As she walked into Stiles High with Cameron on her arm, she just felt like she wanted to go home and sleep. "Okay baby," Cameron said when they got to Yas' locker. "I'll see you in Art and Literature class." He kissed her and went off to his locker. Yasmin opened her locker, put her bag inside, and got out her stuff for Mr. Del Rio's class. She still wanted to go home, but she knew she couldn't. She closed her locker and didn't bother to wait for her girls. She just went off to class.
"Okay class," Mr. Del Rio said the last fifteen minutes of class. "The last fifteen minutes are yours, free time." Students went to other tables to join their friends. The Bratz girls were busy too. Jade was texting Meygan with her phone, Cloe was listening to her iPod, Sasha was texting Dana, who was across the room, with her phone, and Yasmin was looking through her phone, at all the pictures of her and her mom. She was actually erasing all of them. "Whatcha doin'?" asked a voice. Yasmin looked behind her and saw Hannah standing over her head. "Hi Hannah Panda," Yasmin said. "I'm erasing my pics that have my mother in them, well, with just my mom and the ones with me and my mom." "She's not feeling ashamed at all?" Hannah asked as she sat down in the chair she pulled up. "No," Yasmin said. "The Joey dude has moved in with us, him and his loser of a daughter, man, I wish this wasn't happening." She erased another picture. "Your mom really doesn't care does she?" Hannah asked. "No," Yasmin answered. "I don't care about her either." "You can't be serious?" Sasha asked as she looked up. "I look serious don't I?" Yasmin smartly asked. "She does look kinda serious." Jade said, joining in the conversation. "Hush Jade," Cloe said joining in. "Yasmin, you're gonna regret that." "Maybe," Yasmin said. "But the way I feel, not anytime soon." Cameron came over to the table and pulled up a chair. "Shouldn't you be with your boys?" Hannah said. "Nice to see you too Hannah," Cameron said putting his arm around Yasmin. "But, Dill started complaining because Mr. Del Rio gave him a C minus." "He gave me a C plus," Cloe said. "That wasn't fair." "Dylan said the same thing," Cameron said as he turned to Yasmin. "Now, are you okay?" "No," Yasmin answered as she erased another picture. "I'm erasing pictures now." She erased more and more pictures, surprised at how many she had of her and her mother. The dismissal bell rang and the students filed out of the class and went off to their next period.
Lunch
"I don't think that your mom's boyfriend's daughter moving in is a great idea." Jade commented as Yasmin finished her story. They were seated at the table, eating their food. The boys were coming. "I don't either," Yasmin agreed. "But like I said, my mom doesn't care that the guy she cheated with lives in our house now, or that he has two daughters." "He has two?" Cloe asked, shocked. "You left that out." Nevra pointed out. "Well yeah," Yasmin finished. "Anyways, Cameron's coming over this afternoon anyway to hang out with me." "Awesome." Fianna said. The boys sat down and Koby asked, "What's up girls?" "You missed Yasmin's story," Sasha said. "About her mom's boyfriend's daughters moving in with them." "Are you serious?" Eitan asked. "Dead serious," Yasmin said. "I wish it wasn't happening." She looked around and saw her bass guitarist, Seth, talking to a couple friends. "I would go drown Seth in my problems," she said. "But I can't do that, I'm going to the guidance office." She took up her tray and left the cafeteria.
After School At Yasmin's
"Melanie C is my favorite Spice Girl," Yasmin explained to Cameron that afternoon at her house after school. "And you know that." "You had to remind me." Cameron said flashing a smile. They had finished their homework and were just hangin' out now. "Whatever," Yasmin said. "I just reminded you last week." Cameron smiled and kissed her. "Okay," Cameron said. "Who's my favorite football player?" "Jason Taylor." Yasmin answered. "You remembered that." Cameron said smiling. "How could I forget, the way you talk about him." Yasmin said. She heard the door open and saw her mother come in. Her smile turned into a frown, an angry frown too. Joey and his daughters were right behind her. "Yasmin," Cameron said. "Wipe that look off your face." "No." Yasmin said. "Hi Yasmin," Joey said. "Hi Cameron." "Hello." Yasmin said. "Hey." Cameron said. "Yasmin, honey," Elena said as she waved to Cameron. "These are Joey's daughters, Megan and Selene." The girls waved. They were the same age as Yasmin. Yasmin waved back and Cameron said, "I'm gonna go now." "You have to?" Yasmin asked as she gave him a pouty look. "The pout isn't gonna work," Cameron said as they got up and he got his books. "I gotta go home anyway, my dad and I are gonna-" He trailed off as Yasmin looked upset. "You can finish," she said. "I mean, yeah it does bother me that my dad doesn't live here with us anymore, but doesn't mean you can't tell me what you and your dad are gonna do." "Well," Cameron said. "I was just gonna say that we were gonna go to the basketball game tonight at the Stilesville Sports Arena." "Oh," Yasmin said. "My dad and I used to go to those, have fun." "Thanks," Cameron said heading out the door with his backpack and keys. "Love you." "Love you too," Yasmin said. "And you have my phone remember." "Oh yeah." Cameron said reaching into his pocket. He handed Yasmin her phone and kissed her. "Bye." he said. "Bye." Yasmin said. Cameron left and Yasmin went back into the living room. "Yasmin," Megan said. "Do you like rap, or hip-hop?" "No," Yasmin said. "And don't talk to me, I don't like your dad, I don't like my mother, and I don't like you, so stay outta my way, and we won't have any issues." She got her stuff and went upstairs, slamming her bedroom door behind her.
