Damn, They're crazy!

3 "Welcome to 'Hell on Earth Day' "

I did not sleep at all last night. Not just because of my stupid conscience, but also because of the bed. It was made out of hard wood and had a mattress half an inch thick, no joke. My aunt likes to sleep this way because she says it keeps your back straight. Don't ask, even I don't understand.

Everyone woke up late, so I was alone for almost three peaceful hours, until Hala and Amar, the smallest girls in the house at the moment and most energetic people in the world , came and shouted like it was the end of the world.

" We're hungryyy!" they said.

" You are not keeping Ramadan?" I asked surprised.

"Nope." they said in unison.

"Okay, then, what do you want to eat?" I said looking in the fridge and cupboards, but I found nothing, nada, not even a damn fly. We need to go grocery shopping pronto.

" Girls, there is nothing to eat here. Let's go to your apartment and I will make the most amazing breakfast ever, but you need to be silent until everyone wakes up. Deal?" I said with a smirk. What can I say, I know how to make deals.

" Deal!" they shouted with grins on their faces. We went upstairs, I made some chocolate pancakes and they ate in such a hurry, oh God, they looked like starving pigs.

Now, time for my revenge.

Did you know you can find A LOT of cockroaches around a nearly nonexistent garden? Well, if you didn't know, now I tell you.

You may already have an idea of what I am going to do, but that is not all. There will be more. Muhahahah!! Welcome to 'Hell on Earth Day', specially designed by Fatima for a well known donkey.

I sneaked in his room after he went in the shower. After that, I emptied his perfume bottle and put in it vinegar. You know what I did next? I took each and every item in his closet, hide them somewhere else and put a dress of mine in there instead so he could cover up. But wait, there's more. Do you remember those cockroaches? Well, let's just say that you don't want to look underneath his sheets.  Oh, and I let some underneath his bathroom door, just in case.

He is lucky I am not so mad at him, otherwise I would have done more and worse.

I ran downstairs, hid everything I had valuable, including myself, locked my bedroom door and told the kids to tell no one where I am. I thank god for the old olive tree, my hiding spot.

Any time now...

"Yuuky!" my cousin shrieked like a girl. Stage one, he discovered the cockroaches in the bathroom. Check.

" FATIMAAA" ha, I yelled louder then him yesterday. Na, na, na , na ,naaa, na. I won!

Now, now, Fatima,  don't make any noises. He will not know where you are if you are quiet. For the first time, my conscience was right.

He was running all around the block like a mad man. Yup, no clothes of his found. Check. I wonder if he is wearing the dress... Oh God, I so want to see if he is wearing the dress. That would be bloody brilliant!

He tried to enter my room, but the genius in me locked it. HA! In your face, stupid! He looked through the whole building, heck, he went even on top of the appartment building, but he found nothing. I started a happy dance, while humming to a song. The tree shook, catching Aamar's attention.

I told you not to move.

" Ups... I am too young to die! I don't want to be tonight's dinner!" I started whining. "To run or not to run?... To run, for sure."

" Too late! I will skin you alive, dear." he said with a smirk and a mischievous look in his eyes.

Wow, the roles changed from the incident last time.

Oh, shut it!

" Now, now, are you going to come on your own or do I need to take you down by force from the tree?" he asked.

"None of the above?" I asked hopefully. He only got a bigger smirk now. Great! We don't need to feed his ego, now, do we?

" Wait, wait, wait! Why aren't you wearing the dress? And where in the name of Hecate did you find those clothes?"

And why isn't he smelling like vinegar?

Oooh, he didn't find it. Eh, a surprise for later.- I was smiling like the Cheshire cat.

"Under the bed." he shrugged, eyeing my lunatic smile. Wow, I have never in my life thought that not cleaning your room will be this helpful.

"Ok, let's make a deal. Yesterday you got all of my bags in mud and I kind of pranked you today, so let's just stop the battle. Deal?" I told him in my business like voice.

"But I said I was sorry!" he started whining.

"And I told you I would get revenge, so we're even." he gave me a dead pan look and sighted.

"No, we're not, but okay, deal." With that said, I got down. The second I touched the ground he started tickling me like there was no tomorrow.

"Please have mercy on me!" I said in between laughing and taking some much needed breaths of air. Shawn Mendes indeed.

"Will you ever try to do this to me again?"

" I will never stop!"

" Then I won't stop either." he continued until I promised I will never do it again. But I did not promise that I will stop pranking him, just that I won't do the same things again. *Wink. Wink.

The idiot offered me a hand to get up and said:

" We should get inside. Ramadan will be finished in a bit. "

Yaaaaas!!!! Finally free!!!
