Chapter 12: "You Have to Understand"
Cody and Jasmine were together for about a week. Everything was going just fine. His friends wanted to spend time with him and not with Jasmine. Cody was wondering if he should join them for a party downtown at eight.
"Come on, Codester, you never have spent time with us after you started dating Jasmine," Chris said.
"Yeah, I have!" Cody defended himself.
"When have you?" John asked.
"When we went to that pizza place last week."
"Jasmine came along that time!" Jeff reminded Cody.
"Oh. Well, how about…"
"Please, just this once," begged Chris.
"Fine, I'll go with you guys to the party."
"There's a party? Can I come?" Jasmine asked.
Chris, John, and Jeff groaned.
"Uh…"
"Please?"
"Sure."
Jasmine smiled and left.
"You could have said no," said John.
"Guys, she's my girlfriend. You have to understand."
"We understand," Jeff sighed.
"We'll see you there, right?" questioned Chris.
"Yeah, definitely," Cody assured them.
