// Epic Fail //
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...

"Louis, Louis wake up!" Rodney whispered in my ear. I picked my head up and saw all of the boys standing around my bunk.

"What do you want. I'm trying to sleep." I whispered back, slightly dazed. It was still dark outside. I guessed it was about five o'clock in the morning.

Then Rodney said, "I overheard all of the girls talking at the docks yesterday. They said that they are going to prank us tonight. I guess they're pretty ruthless, because they're going to smash their windows with crowbars and say that we did it! But we have found a way to outsmart them. We are going to put glue on the ground outside of their cabin windows and the crowbars so they won't  be able to escape. Then we will get the counselors, and they will be caught red handed! This time the girls wont be able to get away! But, we have a job for you."

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"You will have to get the tub of Gorilla Glue from the counselors cabin and put it on the crowbars and outside of their cabin windows," said Rodney.

"What is everyone else going to do?" I asked.

"Oh, when all the girls get stuck in the glue, me and the other boys are going to jump out at them with monster masks," said Rodney. "It will scare the living daylights out of them!

"He's coming!" shouted a boy that I guessed was on watch duty, because everyone scrambled to get to their beds and Mr. Phil came in banging pots and pans together.

"Rise and shine!" Mr. Phil shouted, still banging the pots and pans together.

There was a lot of fake yawns and stretching, and then everyone started to get dressed. Rodney walked past me and through a small piece of paper on my bed, then went out the door.

The paper read: I'll meet you at our cabin at sunset.

The sun had just began to set when I started to walk back to our cabin. There was no one else on the dirt path but me. When I opened the door, Rodney was sitting on my bed.

"Okay Louis, one of the boys was just walking by the counselors cabin and saw the tub of Gorilla Glue sitting right on Mr. Phil's dresser," said Rodney." All you need to do is go in, grab it, and get the heck out of there!"

"Lets do this thing," we said in unison.

I ran out the door as fast as I could, eager to prank the girls. I slowed down to a quiet walk when I got close to the counselor's cabin. I cautiously opened the door and walked in on my tiptoes. I closed the door and quietly made my way over to Mr. Phil's dresser. I grabbed the big tub of Gorilla Glue and made my way to the door.

Just then, I heard someone open the door. I crawled under Mr. Phil's bed, hoping they wouldn't see me. Their shoes stopped inches away from my face. I was scared to death. Then I heard the bathroom door open and close, and realized that the shoes were empty! I got out from under the bed and sprinted to the door, flung it open, and ran as fast as I could.

I made my way to the shed that held the crowbars. I picked the lock with the end of my wilderness survival badge, then opened it. I started picking up crowbars and dipping the ends in the glue. Once I finished dipping the last crowbar in the glue, I heard footsteps. I quickly locked the shed, grabbed the Gorilla Glue, and made a run to our cabin. I started pouring the glue in puddles outside of each window. I hoped that they wouldn't see the glue because it was too dark. Then I ran behind a tree.

I watched the girls make their way toward their cabin, each holding a crowbar. They all stepped in front of the windows and tried to through the crowbars, but they stuck to their hands. They tried to make a run for it, but they couldn't move. Then, all of the boys jumped down from the roof of the cabin wearing their masks and roared as loud as they could. The girls were hysterically screaming, and I was hysterically laughing. Seconds later, Mrs. Jenkins was shining her flashlight on them.

"What are you kids doing!" screamed Mrs. Jenkins.

"The girls were going to break their windows and blame it on us," said Rodney,"but we caught them red handed!"

"But the boys glued us the the ground and the crowbars to our hands with Gorilla Glue!" said Patricia, the fastest runner at camp.

Then Mrs. Jenkins yelled,"This is unacceptable behavior! All of you will leave this camp tonight!"

I guess the girls didn't get away with this one... Well, we didn't either, but still.
