Bratz: Help Me

Chapter 1: Lost In Music

As the sounds of alternative metal blared fromt he speakers in the recording studio that afternoon, 15-year-old Yasmin Montes was listening to her new song. She had just recorded a song called Bring Me To Life(really by Evanesence), and the song was really special to her. "Alright Yas," said her manager, Tim. "Sounds good to me, you're done." "I know." Yasmin said. She waved and she and her band went to the lounge. They all sat down in the floor and Yasmin said. "Why does my life suck?" "I don't know," answered her keyboardist, Mark. "How does it suck?" "Well," Yasmin said. "My mom and dad are divorced, I'm being forced to live with my mother and her fiance and his two kids, and I'm still mega pissed at her for cheating on my dad and not caring." Greg, one of her guitarists, looked at her and said, "Would this explain the all punked out and emo look?" Yasmin looked at him and scowled. "I guess so." Yasmin said looking down at herself. She was dressed all in black. She had dyed her hair black and she was wearing black jeans, a black t-shirt with a silver skull on it, a pair of black and white Converse sneakers, and a pair of black arm warmers. She was also wearing heavy black eye-liner and black fingernail polish on her nails, so she was having a day. "You seem to be changing a lot." said her other guitarist, Ted. Yasmin got up and looked at herself in the mirror. She was indeed changing. She wasn't smiling as much as she used to, and she was drinking alcohol every weekend with her new friend, Marissa, who went to Regal High in downtown Stilesville. "I'm going home." she said. "Okay." the guys said. Yasmin got her stuff and left the record building.

"I'm home Elena." Yasmin said as she walked into the house. There was no answer, so she assumed that they were out. She put her stuff down and walked into the kitchen. When she turned on the light, her mom, stepdad Joey, and his daughters, Megan and Selene, jumped from behind the counter and shouted, "Surprise." Yasmin wasn't phased at all. She just stood there, with her arms folded accross her chest. "Honey," Elena said. "That was supposed to surprise you." "Well it didn't Elena." Yasmin said. She reached into the fridge and pulled out a 7-Up soda, and went up to her room. "When did she start calling you Elena?" Joey asked. "I don't know." Elena answered. Meanwhile, in her room, Yasmin was about to call Marissa and see if there were any hot parties happening in Stiles over the weekend. Before she could dial the number, the phone rang, so she answered, "Hello?" "Hey Yas," Marissa said. "What's up?" "Nothin'," Yasmin answered. "Elena tried to surprise me, but it didn't work." "So preppy," Marissa said. "Anyway, I got a question." "Shoot." Yasmin said as she took a sip of her soda. "You got anymore razors?" Marissa asked. "Yeah," Yasmin answered. "Got some yesterday." "I'll be over soon." Marissa said. "See ya in a few." Yasmin said. She hung up the phone and lay back on her bed. After about fifteen minutes, there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Yasmin said. Marissa walked in with her bag on her back. "What up girl." Yasmin said. "Hey," Marissa said closing the door behind her and locking it. "I barely made it pass your mom." "She's annoying." Yasmin said as she Marissa sat in the floor. "I got out the house with my mom's bottle of Joose and Tilt." "Sweet," Yasmin said. "And I got the razors." She pulled a tiny box out of her drawer and opened it up. "Thanks," Marissa said pulling up her sleeve, then taking one out. "Let it begin." Yasmin pushed Play on her remote to her stereo, and the heavy metal started. She turned it up and watched as Marissa cut herself. She quickly ran the sharp razor over her skin and the blood started pouring. "This feels so good." she said. Yasmin pulled down her arm warmer and did the same thing. She and Marissa made several cuts then stopped. "Nice." Yasmin said. She pulled the bottle of Joose out her Marissa's bag, opened it up, and took a sip. "Not to strong for you?" Marissa asked. "No," Yasmin answered. "It's just right." "You're so not a good girl." Marissa said. "I know." Yasmin said. She took a few more sips, then handed the bottle to Marissa. "Dude," Yasmin said. "So good. Shocked I'm not tipsy yet." "This doesn't make it happen like that." Marissa said as she took a sip. Yasmin shrugged and was about to start cutting again, until she heard a knock at the door. "Oh crap," Marissa said. "Quick, let's put this away." Yasmin turned off the music and quickly put her box and stuff away. She pulled her arm warmer back up and Marissa closed up the Joose and put it away. She pulled down her sleeve and put her bag in Yasmin's closet. Yasmin opened the door and said, "What Elena?" "Just telling you guys that dinner was ready." Elena said. "We're going out to eat." Yasmin said. "Yeah," Marissa said. "We'll be back later." "Okay then." Elena said. She closed the door and Marissa got her bag. Yasmin got her tote bag and put the box of razors in it. "Let's go." Yasmin said. She and Marissa left the house.
