Yo! Howâs it going?
Itâs Kenny here if you hadnât guessed â yep, Iâm back, fans! Well, letâs face it, there was no way I was letting any of the others tell you this story. I mean, puh-leeeze, it was all down to me that we went snowboarding in the first placeâ¦
Oops â getting ahead of myself as usual. My mum reckons Iâm always doing that â charging off without warning. Maybe Iâm just a bit too impatient to do everything properly all the time. So what, though! Thatâs just me â the original Action Girl â I like everything to happen fast! Hanging around is for wallpaper, thatâs what I sayâ¦
So where was I? Oh yes. Snowboarding. Have you ever tried it? It is AWESOME!!!! Itâs the most exciting, dangerous, scary, fun thing I can think of â well, except our sleepovers, of course⦠Mind you, not that Iâll be able to go on the slopes again for a while, âcosâoops, Iâll have to tell you that later. Better not ruin the story on the first page, eh!
I like all sports really â especially football. And gymnastics. And Iâm mad about swimming. And running. You get the idea. But snowboarding is something else altogether! As soon as Iâm a rich and famous surgeon, Iâm going to splash out on a no-expense-spared snowboarding holiday for the Sleepover Club, off in Colorado or somewhere â Nick says there are some WICKED slopes there.
Now I know youâll be confused. Whoâs Nick, then? youâre thinking. And you might even be thinking, who are the Sleepover Club when theyâre at home?! Donât worry â Iâm about to explain everything!
Thereâs five of us in the Sleepover Club â me and Frankie, who are best mates, plus Fliss, Lyndz and Rosie. As a quick intro to the others, Iâll do this thing Mrs Weaver got us to do the other day at school.
OK, say the five of us were all different types of⦠I donât know⦠bag. So Iâd be a sports bag, right? That oneâs easy. Frankie would be a sparkly, space-age kind of bag with cool gadgets and inventions all over it â she loves that sort of thing. Some people at school think Frankie is pretty weird because she comes out with these off-the-wall ideas all the time, but sheâs just an original, which is a good thing if you ask me. Youâll recognise Frankie when you see her â sheâs really tall and sheâll probably be wearing something freaky as usual.
Who next? Well, Fliss is another easy one. If Fliss was a bag, she would be a pink and fluffy girly kind of handbag with a lace trim and frills all over it. Yuck!!! Just the sort of thing I hate. Oh, and it would be a designer model too, of course â and very expensive. Fliss is big on things like that. She loves clothes, make-up, jewellery, doing peopleâs hair and the colour pink. Say no more! I suppose sheâs quite pretty if you like that sort of thing â but thereâs being pretty, and then thereâs being pretty and really boring about it. Unfortunately, our Fliss is more like the second of the twoâ¦
Thatâs enough of me being horrible. Lyndz next â letâs see. Lyndzâs bag would probably have pictures of animals all over it â especially pictures of horses and dogs. Oh, and when you bought it, some of the proceeds would go to a kittensâ orphanage or a sanctuary for retired donkeys. Yes, Lyndz is truly nuts about animals â sheâd do anything for them. Lyndz is kind of soppy sometimes too, but only in a nice way. She also gets the loudest hiccups youâve ever heard in your life. Scary!!
Last but not least, Rosie. Iâve left her till last because she only joined our school fairly recently. Surprise surprise, Lyndz felt sorry for her âcos she didnât know anyone, and invited her to join our club. The rest of us were a bit mad at first because we donât let just anyone join â but it turned out to be a good thing as Rosie is brilliant fun. The best thing about Rosie is her sense of humour though, so I reckon her bag would be quite trendy and nice, and would have something that made you laugh on it.
Anyway, the five of us are all in the same class at school, and we do just about everything together out of school too. Best of all, every weekend we have a sleepover at someoneâs house. And guess what? Thatâs why weâre called the Sleepover Club! DERRRR!
Ever been to a sleepover? They are just the coolest thing. We all take our night stuff and torches and Sleepover diaries, and everyone brings loads of sweets that we can munch through the night. We play loads of ace games and then stay up all night telling horror stories or jokes. Sleepovers are the best!!
I tell a pretty mean horror story if I say so myself â Fliss gets scared sometimes and says she feels sick (what a wuss!!) while the rest of us get all giggly and screechy. You know when just the slightest thing gets you all scared and hysterical, and your heart starts beating dead fast, and then someone makes you JUMP?! Like that. EEEEEEK!!
