Chapter 11:
The Twins Are Back
Tess got home before Nona did that day. She went straight to her room and sat on her black satin bed sheets. She looked at her phone at all the pictures she had taken of them.
There were selfies of them at school, at sleepovers, at the mall, in the pool. Pictures they'd taken of their club outfits and outfits they thought were really cute that day. Pictures of them posing in bikinis and grabbing each others boobs and butts. She thought about using those as revenge but they posted pictures like that on their Instagram all the time, it wouldn't make a difference.
She deleted all of the pictures. She wanted every aspect of the Bratz out of her life.
She heard the front door open and Nona's heels comi up the stairs. The door across the hall closed and Tess knew what she had to do.
She left her room and knocked on Nona's door.
"Come in," Nona said.
Tess opened the door and Nona was sitting on her bed not looking at her.
"What do you want?" Nona said.
"I..."
"Are you here to brag? You and your little friends have practically ruined my life!" Nona yelled. "Everyone at school is calling me a whore! Why would you tell them that?! Do you have any idea what you've done?!"
"They're calling me a whore too Nona," Tess said calmly. "They wrote everywhere that I hooked up with a guy in a club bathroom." She sat on Nona's bed. "They totally used me. I can't believe I thought they wanted to be my friend."
Nona saw how upset she was and softened a bit. She shouldn't have cut her sister off like she did. She held her hand tightly. "This is why we don't need those dumb Bratz."
"I'm sorry," Tess said.
"I'm sorry too," Nona said. She was beyond angry at the Bratz. She wished she could get revenge on them. Not for her own personal gain anymore, but for her sister. "There's got to be something we can do."
Tess shook her head quickly. "No there's not."
"Why?"
"We went to a club one day and we were just having fun dancing on the poles. But Sasha recorded me on her phone. They said if I do anything to them the video will be on everyone's phone. People already think I'm a whore, I can't have that."
"Well you know what we've got to do right?"
"What?"
"We've got to get that video!" Nona said. "You seriously think I'm going to let them do this to you Tess? There's no way they can get away with this. We're going to delete that video no matter what."
