Evil Geniuses

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.

"Aiden, GET UP!" shouted David, spraying me with cold water.

"I'm up, I'm up," I groaned, stretching as he took in his surroundings. Eli and Kevin were glaring at us to be quiet. I rolled over and looked at the alarm clock. It was three in the morning!

"Why are we up so early?" I asked. Suddenly it all came back to me. It was time to get revenge on the girls! Everyone was dressed and armed with spray guns full of spray cheese. We had planned after cleaning and snuck into the kitchen for our supplies. I threw on some clothes and armed myself with my spray gun. As Eli reviewed the plan, I thought about what had happened when we were coming back to our cabin late last night.

"Hey, dorks," Ashley smirked, as we came back exhausted. Alexa soon appeared behind her, just like a puppy trailing its owner.

"Hi," we all replied, straightening our shirts as we turned bright red. Even though Ashley and Alexa were mean and smart, everyone had a crush on them. With their strawberry-blonde hair and tanned skin, they were every boy's dream.

"Be careful where you step, boys. Something aren't as they seem," Alexa said as the two girls shared a glance and walked away.

"That was weird," Eli told the group as we walked away. We all were too tired to care, though. All we could think about was how to get revenge on the girls, even Ashley and Alexa.

"We're so stupid!" I burst out, stopping Eli in mid-sentence.

"What did you say?" David replied, whipping around.

"Think about what Ashley and Alexa said. They were warning us that they knew about our plan!" I hastily said, not wanting to cause any trouble.

"Don't worry, let's just go," Eli sternly said, and we walked out the door. We crept out the door and silently crept across the field. Even though there was a little voice in my head telling me something was up, I stayed silent. Who cared what I thought? Eli motioned with his hand to stop we had reached the doorway to the girls' cabin. He held up one finger, listened and then held his right pinkie finger up. That was our signal to charge. With a war cry, we barged into the cabin.

The minute we entered the cabin, I knew something was up. All the girls were sitting up in their bunks and smirking. Ashley and Alexa were standing silent with their arms crossed in the center of the room, laughing at us with their cruel eyes. Before we could get out, David tripped over a wire and a huge bucket of some brown, sticky stuff fell from above. All was quiet for a moment, and then the girls were cracking up, some even wiping there eyes.

"Is this molasses!?" I yelled, starting at the brown stuff that coated us from head to toe.

"What else could it be?" Ashley said between gasps.

"What is going on!?" Mrs. Jenkins bursted through the door, staring at us as if we were zombies.

Ashley batted her eyelids and said innocently, "The boys tried to throw a bucket of molasses at us, but Kevin tripped and it went all over. I hope they're okay."

"Okay? All of you are going to go wash up and clean up this mess RIGHT NOW!" Mrs. Jenkins roared, slamming the door shut. It was quiet for a moment. I looked at Alexa and Ashley in disgust.

"How could I have ever liked both of you before. You guys are sick," I said quietly. Silently, we all trudged back to our cabin, our heads hung down in defeat. When we got back to the cabin, we all solemnly vowed to ignore and look at the girls in disgust for the rest of the summer. In that early hour, we all realized that girls can be evil geniuses and know how to blame other people. So much for us getting even. Next time we will get even, and I know it. We'll see who are the evil geniuses now by next summer.
