The idea
It was already Friday. Again it was break and Romy and I were standing in the school yard. "Somehow I'm bored," said Romy suddenly. I looked at her in amazement and then said with a cheeky grin: “You can play foot boxing.” Romy's reaction was that she jumped back a leap and protectively took her hands in front of her: “Don't!” She yelled, “Stay just get rid of this game! "," It's good. It was just a joke, "I said and smiled. Romy stood up sensibly again and then said: "No, no. I even have an idea how we can drive away our boredom." "And what?" I asked. She smiled: "We're going to have an overnight party!" I looked at her in surprise: "What?" "Yes, an overnight party, this weekend!" "And where do you want to do it? And who do you want to invite?" "Hm ...", thought Romy, "In a meadow, we camp. And invite ...", again she thought hard, "I'll just invite the whole year of class 10." "WHAT? Are you crazy? Where do you want to put them all?" burst out of me "I already said that we are camping. Everyone just brings something to eat and sleepwear and then it'll be fine!", Said the brown-haired woman convincingly. "And you think we can organize a party for more than 90 people, alone?" I found the idea totally absurd. Two students cannot throw a party for the whole year. "Well. Then we'll just ask a few other people if they'll help us." She paused and continued: "Do you really want to drink something? So, V + or Roten or something?" She still hadn't convinced me . "1. Who do you want to ask? 2. We're only 15 and haven't got any alcohol yet," I explained. “Right”, Romy admitted, “But there are definitely some who are already 16.” She looked around. "There!", She said and pointed in one direction, "They are already 16." I followed her gaze and was frightened inwardly. "So you want to ask them?" "Jib!", My friend confirmed. I turned to her and felt her forehead. "Oh my God!" I suddenly shouted, "I think you have a high fever! You should be picked up!" "Oh nonsense! Come on, let the two ask if they'll help us!" that these are Fabian and Washiza or are you suddenly blind?!? "" Oh come on! This will be fun! ", she said, grinning broadly and then pulled me to the two boys behind her. "Hey, you two!" She greeted them. Oh man! , I thought, this can still be something! "Hi! What's up?" Asked Fabian. "Me and Lyndsay wanted to ask if you would like to help us prepare an overnight party for about 90 people!" She said. I clapped my forehead with the palm of my hand. Don't fall into the house like that, Romy !!! So they never say yes! "Sure! It'll be fun!" Said Fabian. I looked at him startled. I don't think he just really realized what Romy wants from him.Otherwise he would never have said yes! "What is it, Washiza? Are you participating?", Fabi asked in a good mood and poked his friend in the ribs with his elbow. He only gave a low grumble, which sounded more like a 'no', but Fabi immediately said: "Cool, so Washiza is also doing it."
In the afternoon we all met in town to get the things for the party. "So," began Romy, "it would be best if we split up. What do we need again?" She looked at the list she had written. "We need a big tent where we can have a party, a few benches, a bit of decoration, a few sweets and drinks." "Why don't we need a table?" Asked Fabian. "Because I have one at home," she answered the question. When it comes to organizing, Romy always comes first, I thought. "So how do we split up?" I asked. “So,” said Romy, pulling out straws, “The two who pull the short straw go together.” As it had to happen, I was of course not in a group with Romy. I sigh: "Then come Washiza. We'll get the benches and the drinks." "Ok! See you soon!" Romy called after us. Man why always me Washiza is probably very cool, but he's not a very good conversationalist, I thought, and took a deep breath. "So where are we going first?" I asked him. "We'll get the drinks first. Otherwise we'll have to drag the benches with us all the time," he replied dutifully to my question. I could have come up with that myself! I grumbled to myself inside.
After a good 1 ½ hours we were finally finished. I looked at the clock. "Hm ..." I did. It was five to five. At 5 o'clock we all wanted to meet again in the park. We ran pretty fast. I pushed the cart with the drinks in front of me. Then I turned to Washiza, who had to drag the benches. "We still have five minutes. If we're not on time, Romy will freak out," I said with a puff, because it wasn't easy to push the car across the slippery road. "We'll probably survive this," said Washiza, who was also pretty out of breath. In the last lesson he had become much more talkative and actually was nice too. I didn't think it was so bad to get the things with him. In fact, I was actually very happy about it, because now we know each other better and talk to each other more. We have told each other a lot. I didn't know a boy could be so talkative, I kept thinking. We finally arrived at the park. You could see Romy and Fabian from afar and you could hear Romy screaming very clearly: "Where the hell have you been? You are 7 minutes late!" "Take it easy, Romy," I said, completely out of breath. Then I looked at her luggage and Washiza seemed to have noticed it too. "Um ..." he made. "Oh no!" I said simply. "What is it?" Asked Fabian."We're so stupid!" I suddenly shouted. Romy and Fabi didn't know what we meant and now looked alternately from us to the luggage and back again. "What is it?" Romy repeated the question. "How ...", said Washiza, "how do we want to camp, please? It's deep winter." Now it seemed to have clicked with the other two as well and Romy began to swear wildly. "What a bummer! How could we be so stupid! What are we doing now? We're so stupid! STOP!", Suddenly she paused, "No, I can still save our party." We looked at her questioningly . "We'll just start our party at my house," she said with a grin. We stood there with our mouths open. "So you mean a house party?" I asked to make Romy understand what she just said. But she just nodded silently. "With 9o people?" Asked Washiza, who was probably not sure whether he had misheard either. Romy nodded again. "That'll be awesome!", Fabian suddenly shouted. "Are you crazy?", Washiza and I yelled at the same time. Romy's grin widened: "Then we all agree." Before we could say anything, she grabbed Fabian and me by the arm and pulled us to her house. Washiza followed behind like a dog.
