Last weekend, my friend Cherry threw a party. We all received our invitations in the middle of May. ‘Come to my party on 30th June,’ the invitation said. ‘Don’t wear a dress or jacket and tie. It will be a fancy dress party with a pirate theme.’

When we arrived, Blackbeard the pirate greeted us at the door. It was Cherry, of course, in her costume. Then she showed us the way to the garden. It looked amazing! She had made hundreds of pirate flags, and she had hung them from the trees. She had painted old wooden boxes to look like treasure chests and put them on the patio instead of chairs. There was a table with fruit juice in jugs, and Cherry’s mum – with help from Cherry – had spent hours making delicious sandwiches, pies, salads and a curry. There was ice cream and even a cake with a pirate ship on it.

Lots of parties aren’t planned properly. People stand around and wait for something to happen, but nothing ever does; they sit on sofas and chat; some, like me, make an excuse to leave early. But this party was different. Cherry’s brother had prepared a great playlist, and it was perfect for dancing. But the best part was the treasure hunt. Cherry’s dad had hidden a ‘treasure’ in the house and we had to find it. We were given pieces of paper with the first clue. There were ten clues and the last one was a map with the ‘treasure’ marked on it. I didn’t find it – a girl called Myrtle was the lucky one – but we had a lot of fun looking for it. And guess what! The ‘treasure’ was a telescope!

The party ended at midnight. Cherry’s mum switched off the lights and we were in the dark for a minute. When she switched them back on, she had a treasure chest full of chocolate ‘money’ for us.

I’ll never forget this party. It was incredible and I had the time of my life.

The guests received an invitation ... weeks before Cherry’s party.
