It had been a fortnight since Richard broke up with Raven and so far, the whole group was still ignoring her, but the cheerleaders were becoming much more comfortable with have Raven around them all the time.

The cheerleaders was chatting and giggling in the homeroom waiting for the teacher to come in and take a register. Raven just sat listening to them, and laughing when one of them accidentally forgot what she was saying right before she said it. Raven was warming towards the cheerleaders (believe it or not) and had now realized that they weren't as bitchy as people assumed they were. Katherine had been mean to everyone last year but since she realized that, she'd become a better person, and that's why the cheerleaders were liked more by people now.

The class door opened, and everyone thought it was the teacher so they all fell silent quickly. Realizing it was just the new girl, Ashley, they continued their conversations. Raven eyed as Ashley strutted over to her chair near to Karen, Kori and Tara and she said in a purposely loud voice, intending for everyone in the room to hear, especially Raven,

"Oh wow you will not believe what happened last night! Richard took me to the bowling alley and when we came outside, we made out! And I'm his new better girlfriend now! He's so hot!"

Raven had gotten past all of the stress from a few weeks ago and had calmed down but this seemed to bring back all the sadness she had tried to forget back into her life. The cheerleaders were glaring and they all had their hands clenched up in anger. Almost everyone in the class (apart from the cheerleaders, Raven and Jake) began to talk excitedly, crowding around Ashley, requesting more details of the previous night. With a sneaky evil grin at Raven, Ashley started to talk openly about Richard and herself.

Jake walked over to Raven and put his arm around her, saying in a comforting voice;

"Just ignore her Rae; she's doing it to piss you off."

"Yeah don't worry about it. I'm sure that's the last of her plans to harm you" Courtney agreed, reaching for Raven's hand to soothe the gothic girl down who had tears silently rolling down her eyes. Lacey, being straight forward about everything cracked her knuckles and inquired,

"Shall we go and beat her up now?"

"Leave it Lacey" Katherine ordered, coming over. "You'll just cause more trouble and someone will get injured."

"Yeah and that would be Ashley" muttered Lacey under breath. Katherine ignored her and continued to talk to Raven, handing her a tissue to wipe away the tears. Raven gladly took the tissue and began dabbing underneath her eyes, not wanting to smudge the black eyeliner she had put on this morning.

"Raven, if Ashley hurts you, know that you still have trustworthy friends. And they care about you" Katherine said watching Raven. Courtney then squealed in delight,

"Hey, how about we have a sleepover!"

"Yeah, you could come to my house on Saturday if you like" Raven replied, throwing the tissue in the bin.

"Cool! But not the whole cheerleading squad! Just you, me, Courtney and Lacey" Katherine reasoned, knowing that Raven's parents wouldn't approve of many people sleeping over at once.

"Okay, you all know where my house is?" Raven asked the three girls around her. Jake had walked over since the slumber party idea had come up, not wanting to be involved with girl things. They nodded and Raven smiled softly.

"Right, that means we have to have colour coordinated pj's. I'll wear cyan or another light blue…" Courtney started and Raven lost focus as her gaze wandered over to the other side of the classroom where her ex-best friends sat listening to Ashley, the girl who had ruined Raven's life…

"Grayson?" the teacher called, taking the register.

"Here."

"Harper?"

"Here."

"Johnson?"

"Here miss!" Courtney replied happily.

The teacher continued to take the register and straight after she had read the last notice, the bell went, signaling that it was time for the first lesson. Everyone rushed to the door and most people either got squashed or dropped their bags. Raven waited at the back, waiting for the crowd to move on.

At the back she saw Tara standing there next to her. Raven suddenly felt nervous, because she thought Tara would start a fight because she still hadn't forgiven Raven since she had supposedly stolen her diary, but the actual thief was Ashley who had gotten Raven in trouble. Tara suddenly realized that Raven was looking at her so she looked back. The two girls stared at each other, pain evident in both of their eyes. Tara took a deep breath and walked, leaving Raven behind. Raven's gaze dropped to the ground as she headed for the first lesson of the day.

It was Saturday evening and Katherine had already arrived at Raven's house. They had started to set up Raven's bedroom, making space for the sleeping bags.

"What movies would you want to watch tonight?" Raven inquired Katherine. The head cheerleader shrugged saying,

"I don't really mind. Anything really. How about comedy?"

"Alright" Raven answered, knowing that her guests wouldn't really appreciate horror. Just then the doorbell rang. Raven ran downstairs, with Katherine on her heels as she opened the door. Lacey was standing there grinning widely. On her shoulder was huge red backpack with small heart designs on it.

"Come in" Raven said, letting the cheerleader into her house. Lacey followed Raven and Katherine upstairs and placed her sleeping bag next to Katherine, setting her bag down next to her makeshift bed. A half hour later, Raven's parents came in and told Raven that they were going to dinner so the girls could have some space.

"Our number is on the fridge. Oh, you can order pizza if you like because your father left some money on the counter" Raven's mother said and waved goodbye to the girls. When Raven's father opened the door, Courtney stood there, about to ring the bell. Raven's father called up in frustration,

"Raven, your friend is here!"

He was getting hungrier by the minute and just wanted to get to the restaurant. Raven rushed downstairs, greeted Courtney and the two girls walked back up to Raven's room. Arella, Raven's mother laughed at her husbands impatience and then they both made their way out to the car.

The girls sat in Raven's room eating pizza and drinking loads of soda. They were all watching a funny movie when Lacey said,

"How about we play spin the bottle?"

"Okay. I'll start!" Courtney said reaching for an empty soda bottle. The girls arranged themselves into a circle and Courtney span it. It landed on Lacey.

"Truth or dare?"

"Uh… dare!"

"I dare you to… do the chicken dance and do crazy faces while you do it!" giggled Courtney. Lacey glared at her jokingly but did the dare anyway. Katherine, Raven and Courtney were in fits of laughter by the time the dare was finished. Lacey sat down and waited patiently with an amused expression on her face. When the girls finally regained composure Lacey span the bottle and it landed on Raven.

"Truth… or dare?" Lacey said in a mysterious voice.

"Dare."

"Alright. I dare you to… sing 'Barbie Girl'."

"What?!" Raven asked. No way in hell was she going to do that dare.

"You can't refuse a dare!" Lacey argued as the other two laughed.

"Fine…" Raven sighed and began singing the song in a girly 6 year old voice. She sat back down with a deep red blush on her face as the others were howling, their faces red from the lack of oxygen getting to their lungs because of laughing too much. Raven span the bottle, which landed on Courtney. Courtney scowled as Raven asked,

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Is it true… that… you did it with a guy because you were scared he was going to dump you?" Raven said. Lacey and Katherine were waiting impatiently for the answer.

"Yes, I did! But he was hot! And he seemed to enjoy it…" Courtney admitted her skin turning crimson. The other laughed as she span the soda bottle. This time it was pointing towards Katherine.

"Truth or dare, Katherine?"

"Dare, Courtney" returned Katherine, trying to imitate Courtney. Courtney smiled saying,

"I dare you to… hum a random song while doing a series of gymnastic moves."

"Why didn't you dare me that?!" Lacey complained, wanting to do Katherine's dare.

"Because I hadn't thought of it then" Courtney said back as Katherine stood up and walked over to a space in the room. Katherine began to do a couple of cartwheels and landed in a bridge. She pulled herself up then descended into the splits. After that, she did a back flip, landing in a handstand. She then stood up straight and walked back to the others who were clapping.

"That was pretty good…" Raven complimented. Katherine grinned in appreciation then said,

"I could teach you… but then you'd have to join the cheerleading squad!"

"Nah… I prefer being the cheerleader's friend. I'd be a gothic cheerleader if I was and that ruin the history of cliques. Like if I joined the science geeks, I'd be a gothic geek. Again, ruining the history of cliques. It's better if I just stay who I am now."

"True… shall we get into our pajamas now and then we can carry on with the party?" Courtney laughed. The others agreed and began to change. Courtney was dressed in long sleeved cyan colored pajamas, while Lacey wore a red tank top and pajama bottoms. Katherine was wearing a magenta nightdress and Raven wore black short sleeved pajamas.

The girls sat on Raven's bed this time and began to eat some candy that Lacey had brought to the sleepover. Katherine said while chewing a toffee,

"So… shall we plan revenge on Ashley?"

"YES!" Lacey shouted getting excited. Raven laughed at Lacey then said,

"Alright… but we won't perform it until we need to."

"Yeah, whatever. Alright, we have to find Raven's old friends when Ashley isn't with them" Courtney invented from the top of head. The other considered that but then Lacey said,

"Then what do we do?"

"Uh… I haven't figured that out yet but I'm sure I'll come up with something…" Courtney trailed off. Raven turned to Katherine and said,

"How about we tell them that Ashley is meaner than she seems and then warn them – "

"They aren't going to believe that" Katherine interrupted. Everyone looked at her raising an eyebrow. She chuckled nervously and suddenly found that her bracelet was surprisingly interesting. She began to play with it, but the girls weren't impressed. Courtney said,

"How do you know that?"

"I, uh, kind of… tried to tell Kori, Tara and Karen in the toilets about everything but they didn't believe me and told me that I was making things up for Raven's sake…" Katherine explained. Raven's expression softened and she mumbled,

"You did that for me?"

"Yeah, you are my friend now aren't you? I wanted to help you but… they blew me off" Katherine returned.

Lacey said angrily,

"If I was there I would of beaten them up so bad – "

"No need Lacey. Ashley walked in a second later so I left, not wanting to be involved in whatever she was planning to do to me."

Lacey ground her teeth but calmed down as Raven announced that it was time to make prank calls, which they all loved doing. The first number the phoned was one of the geeks that had given Katherine their number when they realized that they had a crush on her. Courtney put on a posh accent and said when they picked up,

"Hello, I am calling to tell you that you have a detention on Monday evening."

"What?!" The geek cried in horror down the phone. Katherine, Lacey and Raven had to bite their lips to stop cracking up. Courtney grinned and said,

"You were caught on tape in history. You were talking in class!"

"Oh madam I'm so incredibly sorry! I honestly didn't ponder that you would find out! Please do not keep in behind! I have a math project to finish that is due in a month's time!" the geek answered sounding as if he was crying now. He obviously didn't like the idea of detention.

"Well okay you are being let off. Oh and I think you sound gay judging by how high pitched your voice is, at the age of sixteen" Courtney slammed the phone down and the four girls laughed hysterically. The geek had received such a fright for such a minor thing!

"My turn!" Lacey said picking up the phone. She asked Raven for Jake's number. Once Lacey put it into the phone, she put it on speaker. They then heard Jake's voice when he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi! This is the studio were 'Pokémon' is made. You've been selected to voice the character emo-mon in the next series!" Lacey said trying to put on a male voice.

"Really? Well, girls you should of known better than to prank call me" Jake answered, knowing that the girls would be up to mischief. They all laughed and Raven said,

"Sorry Jake. We wanted to see your reaction."

"Okay. I gotta go now, my favourite band is playing on the TV. See you all at school on Monday." With that said, Jake put the phone down on the girls. They all giggled and began thinking of other things to do at the sleepover.

So did you enjoy that slumber party? I had a ball making up the dares :D The only reason I wrote about a slumber party is because I'm going to my friend's one on Saturday and that's all I could think about. – Enough about me. REVIEW PLEASE!
