After Jane's birthday party, it's been blissful days and fun memories shared between everyone, at home, in school and even the teachers. The mid term exams were drawing close which tensed all students but as it is, those who are ready to pass will read, while some will take part in exam malpractice in which when caught will be suspended from school for weeks and worst of all a zero in all subjects been offered, scribing of answers on one's body wasn't an idea to anyone because during exams overall search will be done from one's writing materials, school wear and ink written on one's skin, most of them also use the mode of calculator for exam malpractice by putting the answers on the calculator before passing it to their classmates and the use of tiny papers, they scribe the answers or preferable answers on the papers and pass them on to their perspective classmates in the hall. Senior year students couldn't even dare to take part in any form of malpractice considering it's effect on one's results when caught as a final year student. During class Alexa mentions her plans for a sleepover in a country side house owned by her parents.
"Are you busy this Saturday?" Alexa asked as she called the attention of her friends.
"Em... I don't think so, any plans Alexa?," they all responded, Alexa tell's them about the plan to have a sleepover at a house near the country side that belongs to her parents but no one lives there at the moment and she has taken permission from her parents already to stay there...
" It's just girls sleepover please no guy's allowed " alexa mentioned. Jane turns over to Archie who seems to show slight interest about the sleepover but shoves his face to the other direction immediately after Alexa mentioned " no guy's allowed". Jane knowing he wouldn't admit that he is interested considering Alexa's remark, tried to comfort.
" You know that if it involves everyone we will all go together. But it's only for the girl's , a night to relax, have fun and eat, Just like when you boy's go to play football or basketball, you don't allow us to be involved in it, thinking we will ruin the fun, for us as of now we don't want you to be involved" . When Jane finished they all laughed because of Archie's reaction to all being said. As school demised, the girls took permission from their respective parents before heading to the country side.
As the sun began to set, Jane, Ruth, Josephine and Betty gathered in Alexa's living room for a night of fun and laughter. They had brought sleeping bags, pillows, and snacks ready for a night of movies and games. The air is filled with sounds of their laughter and chatter as they settled in for the evening.
As the night wore on the girls decided to play a game of hide-and-seek in the dark. The farmhouse creaked and groaned as they dashed through the halls, their hearts pounding with excitement. Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the house causing everyone to freeze in fear. Alexa assured them that there is nothing to be scared of considering the fact that this isn't her first time coming to the place, she brought up a funny idea of going to see what caused the noise. Although they weren't totally willing most of them couldn't entirely wait back untill they return..
They cautiously made their way to the source of the noise, only to discover it was just a stray cat knocking over the vase. Relieved they laughed at their own fears and continued there game, exploring every nook and cranny of the farmhouse. A game of we listen we don't judge was also played among the girls where everyone expressed the most painful, funny and naughty experience they have had or seen someone pass through.
As the clock struck midnight, the friends gathered in the living room, exhausted but exhilarated from the games and all the talking they had been doing.
They all settled down and decided to watch a scary movie, huddling together as they tried to receive comfort as the tension from the movie mounted on the screen. Just as the movie reached it's climax, where the dirty, shabby looking lady held a knife above the head of the man about cutting his guts out while sleeping, a shadowy figure appeared at the window, causing the friends to scream in terror. But as they turned on the light, they saw it was just Ruth grabbing a glass of water.
With all that had taken place the girls settled down for the night. A gentle snore from Josephine's mouth filled the room much or less of a comforting sound in the darkness.
The next morning the friend's woke to the warm rays of the sun streaming through the windows. They gathered their things and said goodbye promising too meet again for another sleep over.
As the friends walked out into the bright morning light, they knew they would always cherish the memories of the unforgettable night filled with laughter, fear and the bond they share.
