Tosha’s POV
Finally! It was Friday. Tomorrow night was the sleepover. Snacks, movies, jammies and pranking. You wouldn’t think we were all sixteen… I left my English class and quickly went to my locker. I grabbed my swimming kit. I was supposed to be going to the local pool for a swim, but first I had some last minute arrangements to make.
I caught up with my friends and I put my stuff down so I could talk to them. We had a discussion about where we were going and finally decided on Imke’s house. I was probably a good thing. I was secretly so happy on the inside. Imke lived a life of luxury. I loved going to her house. Everything was tidy, there were so many rooms and nearly everything was designer, even the towels. She was so lucky!
We decided that I would bring the food, since I lived closest to the shop, Megan would bring the mud-masks and everyone else would bring what they saw fit. Pretty basic plans, but I had spent extra time thinking up my pranks after the disaster last time. Absolutely everyone had managed to prank me. Not this year though.
I was distracted from my thoughts when my whole leg vibrated. I’d got a text and my phone was in my pocket against the wall so naturally I vibrated. Some people gave me shocked looks, which quickly turned to those of relief when they realised my phone had made the noise.
I pulled out my phone and saw Carol, Imke and Emma all doing the same. What? Where was Megan? I was that busy reviewing my pranks that I hadn’t even noticed she’d left. Oopsy. I checked the text. It was from Megan.
I waiting as we all read the text and considered whether or not we would go. I had my swimming stuff, so I figured I’d go. I waited to see what the others said though. Emma asked if we were going and Carol decided to go whether we did or not. She left and Emma followed close behind. It was just me and Imke left now.
“Are you going?” I asked her.
“Depends, if the maid has been the yes, if she hasn’t then probably not.” She frowned as she checked the time.
“It’s almost half past, she should just be leaving now. I’ll phone and if I get no answer then I know she’s been.” Wow, I thought… A maid, what next?
She made the call and I assumed from her hanging up without saying a word that she was coming. She nodded, and we picked up our things and walked out the door.
We went our separate ways. She got into her car and I walked towards the public toilets so I could change. I got into the toilet and quickly phoned Megan.
“Hi Megz. I got your text. Yeahh I’m coming.” I said grinning.
“Hey Tosha! That’s fabulous! I can’t wait for tonight either. Wait till you see the surprise I’ve got for you!” She sounded really excited.
I changed and left the toilet with my clothes over my bikini. As I walked down the street, I passed my big sister’s house. Her front light was on so I assumed she was in. I quickly ran up the path. I opened the door and put my bag down in the kitchen.
“Tosha, is that you?” she called from her bedroom.
“Yeahh, I’m leaving my bags here for a few hours cause Megan’s waiting for me at the beach.” I shouted back.
I put the bags down and heard her shout “Okay” as I closed the door. I closed the door and headed down the street again
