Chapter 14:

Invitation

Yasmin and Jade stood by Jade's locker on Friday. "You know, I just hate how Sasha thinks she can just tell us who we can hang out with and everything. It's ridiculous," Yasmin said.

Jade looked up from putting on her lips gloss. "You're still on this?"

Yasmin nodded. "Yes, I am. And I'm going to keep being on it." She sighed. "You don't hate Dana do you?"

Jade shrugged. "Personally, I really don't give a damn about it. I don't like her, but as long as she stays out of my way I honestly don't care. But you know, that's just me." Suddenly she felt hands over her eyes. "Dylan, really?"

Dylan removed his hands. "Damn it, how'd you know it was me?"

Jade laughed. "You do this every day. Find something else to trick me with."

"Whatever." He hugged her. He obviously wasn't very mad at her about what happened during the prom anymore.

"You going out with Diona now or what?" Jade asked.

Dylan shook his head. "Nah, she's a nice girl but she's not really my type. But it doesn't matter; a bachelor like me doesn't stay single for long."

Yasmin giggled. "So Dyl tell me, what do you think of Dana?"

"New girl? I mean, I don't know. I haven't really talked to her. She must be something if Alek is into her. I personally still think she has no ass, but hey, maybe he sees something different. Why'd you ask?"

"Yasmin's been obsessed with convincing the world to stick up for nerds," Jade said.

"It's not that, I just don't see any reason to hate the girl," Yasmin said.

"Didn't you like, despise the girl a little while ago for spilling her lunch all over you?" Dylan asked.

Yasmin shook her head. "I don't care anymore, the stains came out eventually." She saw Koby coming towards them. "Boyfriend at two o clock," she said pointing.

Dylan and Jade turned around and saw Koby coming. He didn't look very happy to see Dylan with his arms around his girl. "Hey baby," Jade said.

"Hey Jade." He pulled her out of Dylans arms and into his own.

Dylan glared at him. "What's your deal man?"

"Oh I'm sorry, some guys just don't like it when they see other guys touching their girlfriend's," Koby said coldly.

"First of all we weren't doing anything. And second, Jade is my friend too. I can touch her all I want," Dylan shot back.

"We all know you're just waiting for us to break up again so you can get your hands on her! Well let me tell you something, it ain't gonna happen. She's mine!" Koby said.

"You know what Koby, if I wanted to take her from you, I would have by now," Dylan said before walking off.

"Wow, hostile," Yasmin commented.

Jade looked up at her boyfriend. "Seriously, what was that all about?"

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be so possessive of you," Koby said.

"Didn't you two used to be best friends?" Yasmin said.

"Yeah, they did," Jade said. She put her hands around his neck. "Look, I know both of you like me. But I don't want you to ruin your friendship over me, okay?"

"But Jade…"

"Okay?"

He sighed. "Fine." He kissed her lips.

"Aw, aren't you cute?" Sasha said coming over to them. "So girls, Cloe and I have decided on a sleepover this weekend. Are you in?"

"Of course," Jade said.

"We're going to the movies tonight," Koby reminded her.

"Well, I'm sure Sasha means tomorrow night. Right?"

Sasha looked defeated as if they had just ruined her plans. "Um, no I meant tonight."

"Well Cade and I are going out too so it should be tomorrow night," Yasmin said.

Sasha rolled her eyes and threw her hands up in frustration. "Fine, tomorrow night. As long as we can do your house though."

"We can totally do my house," Yasmin said.

"Good, ay-dios," Sasha said walking away to tell Cloe.

Yasmin glared her. "It's ah-dios! Not ay-dios!' she called after her.

"Whatever!"

After school Yasmin was walking down the hallway smoothing her hair. She saw Dana talking to Alek. The two of them really were a cute couple. Maybe even cuter than he would have been with Sasha. They kissed and parted to go to their lockers. Yasmin went over to her. "Hey Dana."

"Hi Yasmin," Dana said. This was the second time the Bratz girl had actually said hi to her. It was kind of weird.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow night?"

Dana shook her head. "No, why?"

Yasmin couldn't believe she was about to do this but the words were out before she could stop them. "My friends and I are having a sleepover at my house. Do you want to come?" There, it was out and she couldn't take it back.

Dana was shocked for a moment. She remembered actually wanting this day to come, when she'd be invited to hang out with the Bratz. She hadn't forgotten about it, but she just figured they didn't like her and had given up trying. But yet, she was curious about what a Bratz sleepover would be like. "Will your friends be okay with it?"

"I'm sure they will be," Yasmin said. She wrote down her address. "The sleepover is at my house. Be there at seven o clock. Hasta la vista." She walked off to her locker.

Dana watched her go still amazed. She was actually invited to hang out with the Bratz. After all that's happened she knew she should hate them, she should have said no. But there was a part of her that cried out for their acceptance and she was extremely curious about what one of their sleepovers would be like. She would definitely go.

Yasmin obviously takes it very personally when someone pronounces Spanish words wrong.

So Dana has been invited to a Bratz sleepover. Is this a trick? And how will the other Bratz react to it?
