A Stroke Of Luck

Chapter three

Lola passed by her grandma's room. She was about to enter hers when she suddenly felt the need to check her grandma's room. Lolade opened the door. Slowly, she walked into the room. She had absolutely no idea why she'd walked into the room. She looked around. Her gaze descended on a shiny ball like thing. It was too shiny. Lolade made to pick it up for a closer look but a sound restricted the movement. She took one last glance at the room before retreating. She closed the door after her. "What was that? Lola asked herself as she walked absentmindedly down the stairs.

Realising she had gone the wrong way, she immediately turned and went to her room. She was rearranging her room for the sleepover when her mind difted to the ball like object. It was so shiny and she almost had it in her custody. She also felt a ting of guilt as she was not to have entered her grandma's room. Ma, as she was usually referred, always prevented Lola from gaining entrance into the room. It was almost as if she didn't want anyone to find out some sort of secret.
One time, Lola had come running up the stairs, into the room and ma had told her to leave. Lola sighed. Maybe it was for a good reason grandma wanted privacy.

  Lola opened the door. It was Genesis.

"Why you the first one to come? Lola frowned.

Genesis stepped into the living room "nice to see you too"

Lola rolled her eyes "welcome anyway"

"Thanks" she said dryly.

She looked around and her countenance changed.

" I feel something's here! Its here."

"Look here. I don't have time for this" lola said frowning.

"People rarely listen to me till they get in trouble" Genesis said.

Lola was going to give a reply when the door bell rang. She opened it and there were four girls "welcome" lola said gesturing that they make themselves comfortable "happy you could make it here!"

"Wow, this house is amazing!" A girl called Tolu squeaked.

"Its really big and awesome! Joined in another one called Trisha.

"Thanks" lola smiled. Those were compliments she was used to hearing.

Lekan appeared from the kitchen. He called Lola aside "what are the things I'm supposed to buy?

"Food and drinks" lola said as she glanced at the girls. They seemed to be laughing over something.

" what kind of food and drinks? Lekan asked "are your guests even complete? I can't go twice"

Lola glanced at the girls 'we're only missing Pearl"

Lekan heaved a sigh " alright I'll get enough food and drinks for all these noise machines" he said looking at the girls. Lola returned to the girls.

She joined in the conversation and so far Genesis seemed to be the mute one. No one took any notice of her anyway. Just then pearl showed up and the circle was complete.

"How about I give you guys a tour of my house then we can go to my room and get this sleep over started!"

The girls squealed with joy. One of them seemed to be fascinated by Lekan and couldn't help asking "so your brother lives here?

"Uh no Yolanda, he lives under a rock" Prisca rolled her eyes.

"Hey watch it, I wasn't talking to you anyway! Yolanda glared.

"No need to fight over it. Yes, he lives here and so does my mum, dad and grandma but they're rarely around" lola said.

"Your brother's nice" Yolanda said
"what's his name" her eyes was wide with curiosity.
