"How does this look?" Cedar asked as she twirled in a new dress she had bought, showing it off to her friends. The Rebels were currently having a sleepover in Raven's dorm room. Luckily, it was currently Apple free since she had her own sleepover to attend at Briar and Ashlynn's dorm room.
Ashlynn smiled. "It looks lovely on you Cedar. Orange is definitely your color." The others nodded in agreement. Ashlynn Ella was also with them, since she was, technically, a Rebel. Raven wanted to be nice and invite her to their sleepover, an invitation that she had accepted.
"Hey Ash, we haven't asked you yet but," Cerise, who was seated on a dark violet beanbag place at end of Raven's bed, began. "How did Apple and the others react to you not going to their sleepover?" The other Rebels nodded, all curious as well.
Ashlynn, who lied on the floor, propped up on some pillows, frowned. "Well . . . Apple wasn't happy."
"Go on." Maddie, who was seated next to Raven on the bed sipping tea, said.
"Well, Apple started talking about the sleepover at lunch, and already expected me to be there, and Raven had already asked me so I couldn't just ditch you guys. So I told her I wasn't coming because I was going to get hang out with you guys. The others were kind of okay with it, then Apple got upset . . ."
"–And over reacted." Raven finished.
The nature lover laughed bitterly. "It wouldn't be Apple if she didn't. She started going on about me ditching them, called me a traitor and stormed off."
The other girls gasped. "No hexing way, she did not-she really said that to you?" Raven asked, astonished at Apple's actions.
Ash nodded. "She had enough trouble trying to accept me and Hunter being together, but me leaving the Royals to hang out with you guys for a while? I think it was the last straw for her."
"Well, never mind that, she'll get over it." Raven shrugged. "Just know we're your friends too, you can hang out with us anytime." The rest nodded.
Ashlynn blushed and smiled a their kindness. "Aw, thanks guys."
