Ok so Im 13/f and last night, I got a text from the person I least expected it to be. It was this girl named Rachel. Me and her have had some differences in the past and we dont talk often and I never trusted her before and never talked to her because I get so jealous of her whenever Im around her! She texted and invited me with a bunch of other people over to her house after school friday so we can all have dinner and get ready for the dance together. I asked my parents and they said I could go so I said to her sure.
Although, Im really not sure if I should go? Should I tell her I have a family thing and back out of it? I know shes trying really hard to be my friend and get along with me but Im not sure if I wanna be her friend. Shes so pretty and nice and funny but I dont know what to do. She even asked me if peperoni and cheese pizza is fine to eat and I told her Im a vegetarian so she said that we could all just have cheese pizza. So should I hang out with her and a bunch of people from her "group of friends"?

The girl you never spoke with before, thought too popular, was jealous of etc. may be the sweetest person inside and right for a friend.
She invited you for a reason and really does want to know you. It would be bloody foolish not to go and see what happens and if you hit it off. Hell you may even have fun and find numerous friends including her. She's even willing to bend over backwards to make sure you don't have dietary issues with food choices.
GO! ABSOLUTELY! You have ZERO to lose here. Your problem is an irrational fear of not being liked or liking her. Even your parents see this as a great opportunity. Just remember she's as scared of you as are her friends of NOT being accepted or liked by you so it goes both ways. Who knows you might get a new best friend or several. Let me know how it goes.

This girl may turn out to be a good friend and considering she is inviting people over it opens the door for more friends. I would just go, be yourself and have a good time.
