Chapter 2- Tom's house
The next day was a bright, sunny, gorgeous day. Children came out to play early and the temperature was quite warm. Tom woke up at 11am. Tired, he got out of bed and strutted over to his window to open his curtains. He saw how nice it was and argued with himself over if he should go out and meet his friends somewhere or finish level 19 of his blade quest game. He decided to decide later and slowly walked down the stairs to the kitchen. The house was empty. He picked up a note on the counter-top which said:
Tom,
I've got to go down to London for a business conference and I'll be back on Monday. You can have some friends stay over if you want but I don't want a messy house!
Love Mum xxxx
Tom felt excited and then decided to meet Dan, Aniesha and Zoe to ask if they wanted to stay over for the night. 'What a good start to the holiday.' He thought. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. He walked towards the door and opened it slowly. It was Aniesha. "Hi Neish!" Tom said half yawing and half smiling.
"Hey, Tom! Why are you still in your PJ's?" She asked.
"I just woke up." He replied. "Oh okay well I was just asking if you wanted to come out but I can come back later when your changed?" "Okay well I was going to ask if you Dan and Zoe could stay mine tonight. My mum's in London and won't be back until Monday and she said I could have some friends over." "Okay sure! I'll ask my mum and tell Dan and Zoe. I'll come back in half an hour okay?" "Okay, see you in half an hour then."
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye!" Tom shut the door and ran upstairs to get changed.
*Safe house*
Zoe was in her room. She was usually there doing homework, reading books, texting and chatting. She sat on her bed and she was about to look at a message from Dan when she got a call from Aniesha.
'Hi, Aniesha! Me? I'm fine thanks! Oh Sleep at Tom's house? Yeah that'll be cool I'll ask Frank and I'll call Dan about it. Okay bye!' She put the phone down and went across the hall to see Frank at his computer. "Frank, can I sleep at Tom's tonight?" She asked him quietly.
"Okay make sure you pack everything." He replied. "Thank you!" she exclaimed, beaming from ear to ear. She then went back to her room to pack her bags and to call Dan.
*Tom's house*
Tom, who was now fully dressed and fed, was preparing snacks for his friends when someone knocked on the door again. He opened it and Aniesha, Zoe and Dan were outside. "Hey guys! Come in." He said. They all greeted him and came in.
In the sitting room, Dan sat down and Tom turned on the telly while Zoe and Aniesha were admiring Tom's amount of blade quest books and games. "Wow, you've got quite a collection here!" Aniesha laughed.
"I've got more upstairs!" Tom said smiling.
"Can I see them?" Aniesha asked him.
"Sure" he replied. He had never shown anyone his whole collection of blade quest stuff and was really delighted he was finally able.
Tom and Zoe were left in the sitting room. They were silent for a few minutes when Dan finally broke the silence. "Did you get the message I sent you before?" Dan asked quietly. It was obvious he was really keen for an answer.
"No because I was about to view it but then Aniesha called and then I was really busy. I'm going to view them now." She replied.
"Oh. Zoe wait I need to tell you something!" Dan said and he shot up.
"Okay? Well I need to tell you something as well but you go first" she replied blushing.
