try to explain what happened.
    But Pamela doesn’t want my apology or my explanation or my party favor.
    I watch a tear fall across one of the flowers on Pamela’s cheek. Pamela’s mother takes Pamela’s things from her and leads her to her car.
    I feel like my
Super Sleepover
just turned into a super mess.
    Some messes can be cleaned up with sponges, rags, and a mop, but some messes are much harder to clean up, and I think this is one of those messes.

NIGHTMARE ON WISH POND ROAD

    A Super Scary Story
by Mallory McDonald
    (NOTE #1 TO READER: This super scary story was not told at my sleepover. Even scarier . . . It happened at my sleepover!)
    FOREWORD

    Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Actually, she wasn’t so little. She was ten, which isn’t little at all. Anyway, this girl had a sleepover party to celebrate her tenth birthday. She invited some friends and planned some fun stuff to do, but her sleepover turned out to be nothing like other sleepovers.
    (NOTE #2 TO READER: That was just the background info. We haven’t gotten to the super scary part yet.)
    Her sleepover was different. It all started in the kitchen. She and her friends were supposed to be neatly decorating cupcakes, but her friends weren’t neat cupcake decorators. They made a big mess doing it.

    Then, before they could clean the mess up, they got into a water balloon fight with the girl’s brother and his friends. Water got everywhere. Not just on people and not just outside in the backyard where it should have gotten. But some water got inside the house too.
    This all happened while the girl’s parents were out taking a walk. It shouldn’t have happened because the parents left a babysitter in charge of the kids, but it did, because instead of babysitting (or in this case, kid sitting), the babysitter (or in this case, kid sitter) was busy talking on her cell phone to her boyfriend. You’re probably wondering why the girl didn’t just go get the sitter when the problems started. Well, a lot of people, like the sitter and the girl’s parents, wondered that too.
    (NOTE #3 TO READER: You’re probably also wondering when this story gets scary. Keep reading!)
    When the girl’s parents came home, a couple of things happened.
    First: They saw the mess.
    Second: They got kind of mad. (Actually a little more than kind of i mad, but we won’t go into all that here.)
    Third: They made the girls clean up everything.
    Then something good actually happened The party continued
    (NOTE #4 TO READER.: I bet when you read the part about the party continuing, you decided this story is not bad and certainly not super scary. You were probably th'ink'ing that all things considered, it sounded pretty good. But we are getting to the super scary part, I promise.)
    The girls did things that most girls do at sleepovers.
    They put on their pajamas. They told stories and roasted marshmallows around a fire. They watched a movie and ate late-night snacks.
    Then some of the girls did something that most girls probably don’t (and shouldn’t) do at sleepovers. They decided to decorate (actually, a little more than decorate, but we won’t go into all that here) one of the girls who fell asleep early.

    When she woke up and saw what they had done, she got so upset that she called her mom and told her she wanted to go home.
    (NOTE #5 TO READER: OK. Here’s what you’ve been waiting for. The super scary part is about to begin.)
    So she left, and right when she did, ?the party girl’s parents told the party girl they wanted to see her in their room. She didn’t really want to go to their room, but she knew she didn’t have a choice.
    When she got there, her parents looked mad.
    The super scary part was that she had never seen her parents look so mad.
    It was like all of a sudden they were transformed from nice, normal-looking parents into scary creatures like the kind you see in late-night horror movies.

    Their eyes got big. Their faces -turned red.
    Their
