Living With Boys

Chapter Two: Tree Houses and Water Balloons

"Can you believe that little brat made me get him breakfast this morning!? I was ready to punch him.." I ranted angrily to Elle. 

We were sitting in my room talking about how much my new brother, Logan, annoyed me and how I had to make him pancakes this morning.

"He kinda reminds me of one of those three legged dogs that everyone feels be\ad for and thinks is cute but really gnawed off its own leg and trys to eat your socks..." Ellie sighed.

I stared at her for a moment then shook my head. She was usually weird like that.

"Whatever... It just sucks." I wined. It's not that I wasn't happy that Adam moved in, it's just that I wasn't happy that his kids had moved in as well.

"Well then, how about we show Logan how it's done around here." Elle smiled deviously.

"What do you mean..?" I asked slowly. It was not a good idea to get on Ellie's bad side.

"I mean show him whos boss, teach him a lesson, something!"

"I don't know.." I said nervously. I wasn't the type to pull pranks or things like that, but then again.....that's why I had Elle.

"COME ON! don't you want him to quit bugging you? to feel the wrath of angry teenage girls?" Oh god, she's getting excited now..

I sighed.

"Fine.. What's the plan?"

*******************************************************************

I sat in my old tree house in my backyard and waited for the signal.

After about 20 minutes of plan making, we decided that we would lure Logan to the tree house and pelt him with water balloons. Of course, I thought that was a little harsh. I mean he only made me make him breakfast and verbally abused me the entire time I was making it, calling me a loaf eater every chance he got. I still doin't know what that means... But I also thiought it was better that Elle's idea to feed him to the wild duck at the river behind her house.

"This way Logan, I promise you the cookies are this way.." I could here Ellie coming this way. 

Time for action...

"I'll just go get them for you, they're up here." 

The door to the tree house opened and Ellie climbed up. She nodded to me and we grabbed the water balloons.

"FIRE!!!" I screamed and me and Ellie started throwing water balloons at poor Logan.

"Hey! AHHH, HEY! THESE ARN'T COOKIES!!!! HEY! STOP THAT!!! NOOOOOO!" He yelled. Ellie and I laughed as we looked down at my - now soaked - new brother.

"What's going on out here!?" A new voice yelled. I stopped laughing, only to see my mother standing beside Logan glaring up at us.
