a disco party for her birthday next week and she has invited me I don't want to go My brother says he heard someone say she only asked me because her parents said she had to But my mum and dad say it would be rude not to accept Some of my new friends are invited, too How can I show Sophie that she can't behave towards me without causing a family quarrel?
