Sleepover Girls in the Ring Read online

  Molly grovelled and apologised to Mrs Weaver and Mrs Poole straight after school, under Mum’s beady eye. Then Mum accompanied us all to the circus, where we had to make a formal apology to Ailsa’s dad.

  “If there’s anything we can do to make it up to you…” Frankie said.

  “That won’t be necessary,” Ailsa’s dad said, trying to look serious. “But what you lot did could have had serious consequences, you know.”

  As we were leaving, Bobby the clown winked at us. “Hey, I’m going to have to watch out for you lot taking my job!” he grinned. “I’ve been waiting all my life for a laugh like you got the other night!”

  After that, it was kind of like living in a minefield in our house. I had to be on my best behaviour all the time. It was a nightmare. And even when I hadn’t even done anything wrong, I got bawled out by Mum and Dad anyway. They said they were still humiliated by me and Molly showing them up in public like that. But I guess things are getting a bit calmer at last.

  We’re all going to a secret meeting now, to suss out how we can persuade our parents to let us have another sleepover before we turn into Old Age Pensioners! Well, as they say in the circus, the show must go on…
