I feel the anticipation building in my stomach as i take the jar down from the shelf. it's 10 o'clock Saturday morning and we're about to pick the first dare.
" Who want's to pick? " I ask, looking at the two other girls. "I think Hannah should do it, she's the one who came up with the idea " Renee says and we all agree.
With trembling fingers, Hannah puts her hand in the jar, pulling out one of the white notes. A smile spreads across her face as she reads it.
" It looks like we're having a war." She says. "A paint war "
While we run around the house hunting for paint, I wonder who's dare it was. I know it wasn't mine, and i doubt Renee would have suggested it. That only leaves Hannah, she's the kind of person who would think of something like that. But yet i could still be Renees dare, she always likes to surprise us.
" I think i found something! " i hear Hannah shouting from the bottom of the stairs. "Can we use this?" She says and shows us a box with several tubes of acrylic paint. They're probably from my very, very short artistic period in third grade. (I don't want to talk about it)
"Yes, they're perfect. But I'm taking the blue one" I sing while i rip it from her hands. " NO, i wanna be blue!" Renee says, starting a big discussion of who gets which colour.
Eventually I end up with the blue, Renee with the red, and Hannah with the yellow one.
"How are we going to do this" I ask. "We can't just squeeze the tube and hope it hits someone"
This leaves us thinking for a couple of minutes, but then Renee starts running up the stairs screaming: "I know, i know! I'M A GEEEEINUS!"
" WHAT?!" I scream as i run after her. "We can put the paint in these" Renee says and hands me a plastic cup." You truly are a genius" "Yeah, I'm actually pretty smart, people just don't realise it"
"Sorry to destroy your brilliancy, but how is putting the paint in these going to help?" Hannah says, a frown visible on her forehead.
" We dip our hands in it and throw it at each other " Renee says, like throwing paint at each other is the most natural thing the world.
Half an hour later, we're on our way to st. Meyers park dressed in some of my old clothes.
Why half an hour? Well, we had a little breakdown because we couldn't find any clothes that fit. And then we had the callenge of finding some ugly bras we could use, because the paint would surely soak through our clothes and those bras are really expensive.
Anyways, we're finally on our way to the battlefield.
" Weeeeiii " I hear Renee shout from behind me, and i know she's running towards me. " Noooo, you can't start yet. That's cheating! " I scream as i run away from her as fast as i can.
While I run, i manage to spill almost half of my paint, leaving a big splat on the sidewalk. A splat that would remind us of this day every time we walked past it.
I finally manage to escape Renees red hand, and we arrive at the park.
It's a sunny day and it's already filled with people enjoying the last warm days befor fall comes. So we walk towards the fountain, where theres less people.
"Are you ready!?" Hannah sas and we nod. " One, two, th..." she says, but we never get to hear the last word, because Renee runs towards her, smacking her hand on Hannahs ass. Leaving a red, hand shaped mark. "Oh no you didn't! " Hannah screams and runs after her with me right behind.
I manage to smear paint all over Hannahs back, and from that i get yellow hand marks all over my stomach.
We run around until we're out of breath and all the paint is either Splashed over ourselves or the ground.
The funny thing is that we're mostly covered in green and purple, even though none of us had those colours.
"I'm dead" I declare as i sit down at the fountain. I have paint everywhere, even on my face.
" Me too, maybe we should go back to your house and clean up. I think most of the people here hates us" Renee says, and when i look around i see she is right. All the other people in the park are looking at us with deadly glares.
"Haters gonna hate" i say and we all fall into a fit of laughter.
