It was lunchtime and everybody was making plans for the weekend. The gang was sitting outside by the big oak in the schoolyard. Kyle was sitting beside Rachel in the shade of the tree with his arm around her shoulder. Rachel was leaning on him, which at first had made everyone stare. Kyle was wearing a black t-shirt, black jean, and black sneakers with a blue Nike strike on the side. Rachel was wearing a skin-tight dark blue v-neck hoodie, short black skirt, black leather boots, and the necklace Kyle had given her.

"So what are we going to do this weekend guys?" asked Tanya in that Brooklyn accent. She was wearing a short yellow dress, with black leggings, and golden bejeweled flats. Every one was silently thinking. Kori lit up with an idea.

"What if the girls have a slumber party? We can eat pizza, and stay up all night," she said enthusiastically. Earlier that week Tanya had took her to the mall to get some styling clothes. Kori was now wearing a pink halter-top that showed a strip of her stomach, short denim skirt, and pink bejeweled high heels. The girls all looked incredibly happy at the idea except for, of course, Rachel. All the girls stared at her and she knew what was coming.

"I'll go but don't expect me to do much," she said flatly.

"Great they know what their doing but what about us?" asked Gar whining. He was wearing a white t-shirt that said 'Reality's a nice place…but I wouldn't want live there', a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. Rich and Vic looked at each other and sighed. Richard was wearing a red t-shirt, a white leather jacket, dark jeans, and black sneakers. Vic was wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and black converse.

"Well we could always have sleep over. We could eat pizza, play video games, eating contest; stuff like that," offered Rich. All the boys, even Kyle, liked the idea and with that every one was making plans.

**** "Ok so everyone knows what time to be there right?" asked Tara. She had on a plaid hoodie, light blue faded jeans, and UGG boots.

"Yeah I think we all got it. Seven o'clock, which gives us enough time to get everything together," added Jade, who had on a black AC/DC t-shirt, worn out jeans, black high-tops, and a fingerless gray glove on her right hand.

"Ok and were all going to Kori's house right?" asked Tara, just to make sure that all the girls were on the same page. They all nodded. Cami was spending the night at Kitten's and Kori's parents were out of town, so they would have the whole house to themselves.

**** Seven o'clock came around and all the girls were in Kori's living room. "So who wants to play truth or dare," asked Jade.

"Oh yeah! Now your talking!" said Tanya excited. Everyone gathered in a circle except for Rachel, who was on the couch nibbling at her pizza.

"Hey Rae, you gonna play or what?" asked Tara.

"Only if I can dare Jade to jump off a cliff," thought Rachel with a small smile on her face. "Sure, I guess." Then she sat down between Tanya and Kori but directly across from Jade.

"Ok I'll go first," said Tanya, "Jade, truth or dare?" Jade thought for a minute.

"Truth," she answered.

"Ok, have you seen any guys you like?"

"Yeah," she answered coolly.

"Really? Who is he?" asked Kori.

"Oh, you know him pretty well," Jade said, looking at straight at Rachel as she spoke.

"Who is he?" asked Rachel, who already had a very good idea. Jade smiled smugly.

"Sorry classified information ladies," she said, but Rachel heard the mocking tone that was directed at her.

***** The game continued. It was Jade's turn and she had a question that she wanted Rachel to answer. "So Rachel, truth or dare," she asked. To no one's surprise Rachel said truth. "How many times have you kissed Kyle?" she asked. Rachel raised a thin brow at this. "and I mean on the lips not the cheek." Jade clarified. Rachel maintained her composure, giving a slight glare to Jade. The skater just smiled.

"Once," Rachel answered calmly.

"Hmmmm," Jade thought. Kori smiled knowingly at her long time best friend, happy that she found someone.

"I wonder if anyone would notice if Jade were to suddenly disappear," thought Rachel.

"Ok everyone I think I'm gonna hit the hay I'm tired," stated Jade, giving a yawn as if to prove it.

"Let the bedbugs bite her. Please!" thought Rachel. An hour later, Rachel was laying on a pallet she made on the floor, eyes wide open. Everyone else already fast asleep. She sighed and got out her phone and started texting.

"How's it goin' at Vic's"

"Prty good, but u no im prty popular."

"Yah bt ur nt stck wit th devil."

"O rlly & who wud tat b?"

"Ur friend. She is killin' me."

"O it jst taks time 2 get usd 2 her. Ull gt usd 2 her soonr or l8r."

"Watevr u say. Well gud nite Kyle."

"Gudnite cutie. O & I tink Jade's afraid of spidrs if u want 2 get bak at her."

"Hmm thnx 4 th info Kyle, I'll b sure 2 use it."

"No prob."

***** "Oh, this is going to be good," Rachel thought. She had a plastic spider in her hand, and she was about to scare Jade. It was early in the morning around five 'o clock which also meant it was payback time. She set the spider on Jade's chest and told her it was time to get up. Jade opened her eyes and looked at her chest. Her eyes went wide.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed. Rachel covered her ears. All the other girls filed into the living room, groggily, and saw Rachel laughing and Jade was wide eyed. "JUST GET IT OFF ME, GET IT OFF!" she said pointing at the spider on her stomach now from her moving. All the girls looked to where she was pointing.

"Uh girl, I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not a real spider. It's plastic," said Tanya, trying to hold back her own set of laughter. Jade looked more closely at the spider and found that Tanya was right. Her fright had now been turned into fury.

"Rachel, what the heck?" she said steam was coming out her ears now.

"You should have seen your face. It was priceless. I wish I had a camera," she said, finally getting her laughter under control. Everyone was staring at her.

"Um Rae, since when do you pull pranks?" asked Tara, having a harder time trying to stop laughing.

"Well I just thought I'd see if I like it or not," she said smiling.

"And?" Tara asked. Rachel looked at Tara, Jade, and back to Tara.

"I'd say it was quiet enjoyable." She said. "I still say I should have taken a picture, so Kyle could have seen the look on her face," she thought. Jade was now very ticked off.

"Just wait and see what I've got in store for you Rachel, wait and see." She thought, now smiling.
