Sleepover at School I

After winning third place at the jingle competition and watching Gecelle earn the title Ms. Science 2007-2008, we locked ourselves in our room and began to do things you do in sleepovers.

We played "Killer, Killer", a game which Karen insisted to play but never actually played with us. We played it for a couple of times. During the nth time, we had a talk about some of our classmates going weird. This talk continued which hindered the killer to do his thing. The talk lasted for minutes, then hours.

When all the lights were turned off and everybody is supposed to be sleeping, we all lied face down to pretend we're asleep. We thought that our room being in the first floor is an advantage but the people walking along the corridors drove us crazy. The "parent marshals" walked back and forth repeatedly. Some even shone flashlights through our windows, as if not sleeping in a camp is a crime. But since we're very good girls, we dared not to question their actions and continued our pretending when we feel their presence.

Our talk went to a lot of topics. One was ghost stories, which I suggested and Joyce agreed upon. She was the first to tell a story (which is about our laboratory). Soon, others were making stop-it,-i'm-scared sounds so I suggested to stop the story-telling. I don't want to see my classmates screaming, panicking, turning on the lights and saying, "I saw a lady by the lockers". Anyway, I heard a good one from Allen, it was an experience she had at school. That was our last story because half of the i-promise-i'll-stay-up-with-you-until-sunrise girls already slept. The reason was probably because of the scary stories. They preferred to sleep so as to resist listening to it.

After making fun of the photos Joyce showed me in her camera, we decided to try to sleep. We pitied ourselves because we always come home late due to jingle rehearsals. And we don't get enough sleep. We had, I think, only 2 hours of sleep.
