Party’s On

Alexa Glick

Slam! The front door shuts. ‘Oh my God, I didn’t think we would ever get rid of them.’ Lisa says with a sigh of relief.  ‘Get out my way, you little brat.’ She pushes past her brother with a rather content look on her face. ‘But you’re supposed to be looking after me’ Simon moans.  ‘What are you going to do? Go tell mummy and daddy!’ Lisa laughs and runs up the stairs, leaving Simon in floods of tears in the hallway.   Summer had begun; Lisa and Simon’s parents had gone away for the weekend leaving Lisa in charge of her little brother Simon.  But what they thought was going to be a nice relaxing break, is going to be the very opposite back at home.   Up in Lisa’s bedroom, ‘yeah they just left,’ she tells her best friend Sheryl on the phone, ‘so when you coming over?’ ‘I’ll be over in ten’ she replies.  ‘Alright see you soon,’ Lisa puts down the phone and jumps off her bed.  She walks over to her desk and opens her diary, as she goes down the list of her friend’s numbers, she picks up the phone again and starts dialing.  ‘Hi, I’m having a party tonight, it’s going to be great, can you come?’ Lisa asks.  ‘Sure, thanks, I’d love to come.  What time?’ says an excited voice on the phone.  ‘Well, my parents are away for the weekend, so come at eight and leave whenever you want.’ Lisa replies.  ‘Wow, it’s going to be great, see you tonight.’  Lisa puts the phone down and looks back down at her diary for another number.   Her bedroom door opens widely and Simon walks in and said in a very angry voice, ‘Lisa, Mum and dad said, no parties!’ Lisa laughs. ‘When have I ever paid attention to what mum and dad said?’  ‘Your going to be in biggggg trouble when they find out,’ Simon said and walked out the bedroom, closing the door behind him, Lisa paying no attention to what he had just said.

    Meanwhile Lisa’s parents arrive at the hotel they are staying in, after a very long and tiring journey.   They reach the reception desk, very excited to get to their room and go to sleep, when they hear a foreign voice approaching them.  ‘Naem plezz,’ says a very mysterious looking man on the other side of the desk. ‘Jackson, Stuart Jackson,’ repeats Lisa’s dad.
