 * The Boys Get Even **

Have you ever noticed that girls can get away with anything? It seems that if boys do just one little thing, WHAM! They’re in trouble. But girls can get away with murder!

Last summer at camp for example, there was a big food fight. Okay, maybe the boys started it, but the girls were throwing chocolate pudding and dinner rolls just like everybody else. But guess who got in trouble?

When we were dragged into the camp office, Mrs. Jenkins, the camp director, demanded an explanation. We were all too scared to even talk.

Finally, our counselor Phil said, "I guess boys will be boys."

But Mrs. Jenkins replied, "Boys should be gentlemen."

That night she made us sweep and mop the whole dining hall, and even wash the windows. As we worked and sweated until midnight, we vowed to get revenge on the girls for sticking us with the punishment.

Our chance came that very next day.

It was a pretty hot day, so a swim in the lake would be a good idea. When we woke up from our deep sleep we were in from last night, my best friend, Bart, was holding out some water guns that looked very advanced.

"I stored them under my bunk just in case we needed them," he said, seriously, "and honestly, I don't wanna look like a fool out there, so shall we get the girls my good friend?"

First off, I wanted to know where he got those, since I never saw them at his house. And second, were they a good idea? I mean, it was summer and in summer, you WANT to get wet, don't you?

"I heard the girls were still sleeping, so if we can get there before the counselors, we can see them soaked in their pajamas. It could be easy like taking candy from a baby," Bart mentioned.

"Sure, I'm up for revenge. Get the guys up, and how many water guns do you have?" I mentioned.

"I got ... 9 water guns, that enough for now?" he said.

"Sure, that's good. I'll risk my dessert privileges doing this if my name isn't Pugsley Addams!" I said. We both laughed at my stupid courage, and went to wake up the others.

We managed to wake up the others, but only about 7 others wanted to join in for revenge, so it was me, Bart, Polad, Simon, Carter, Griffin, Wyatt, Miles, and Keith. Bart handed out the water guns that were pretty hardcore, with a lot of space for water and long range. I was able to get a shotgun - like water gun out of rifles, pistols, and rocket launchers with water balloons as rockets.

"Everyone ready?" I say quietly at our door, "We need to get to the lake for some ammo, so let's hurry!"

We traveled by the bushes, slowly crouch - walking to the lake. After a good five minutes, we reached water. One by one, we filled up our large tanks and crouched back to their bedrooms, quietly.

Their reaction? Hilarious.

At the girls bedroom, they were all fast asleep, only a few pretending to sleep, but not looking at the doorway. The boys plan was to hide behind the bunks, and when a girl came to see or be suspicious behind a bed, that was their signal.

It took about 3 minutes for a girl to sit up, yawn, then look at another bed and see a figure behind a bed. She gasped, then the water blew out from everywhere.

Water shot everywhere. Girls screaming, boys laughing. Girls hiding behind bunks, boys getting on the top bunk for range. The boys were successful in their prank, and they ran out the girls bedroom, doing loud cheers and laughs and stuff like that. One girl, by the name of Emila, ran out of the girls room screaming all over the camp.

It was a nice day to have victory and not get in trouble, because Mrs. Jenkins thought the girls spilled a lot of water overnight, and she made the girls soak up the water with sponges. Like I said, it's good to have victory.

And that was the day that the boys got even.
