Look What The Cat Dragged In

Chapter 19

Hugo and Matt arrived home from wherever they were, just after lunch time. They had come inside, dropped everything and went straight into Matt's room.

Which gave me all the time in the world to get my payback on them. When they had gone out this morning, Hugo's car was not in the garage, unlike last night when he got here. Hugo must've been the one driving today, because he doesn't trusts Matts driving.

But now they were back, both Matt and Hugo's cars would be available for some eggs and some paint.

I considered egging both of their cars and adding the spray paint for finishing touches. But, no. It would be much much better if I used eggs on one and paint on the other.

I quickly grabbed all the things I would need, only the eggs and paint, and hurried out of the house trying to not alert the boys.

If they were to come looking for me later, I made sure Mum would tell them I was out with Hannah and Rose for the afternoon. A fool proof plan.

Hugo's black Mitsubishi Lancer was parked right out the front of the house, on one side of the driveway.

I put the paint down on the pavers and got to work with the eggs. I only had twelve with me, so I had to make sure I got this perfect.

I delicately picked up one of the eggs, being careful not to drop it too early, and then ditched it at the bonnet. The shell cracked and the yoke and whites spilled out all over the car.

I threw another at the boot, one on the roof. I threw one about the front windshield and it dribbled down the front of the car.

I had already used four eggs, and I only had another eight left. I had used a third of my ammunition.

I threw an egg at each of his windows, and then I was down to four. The rest were spilled out over the car. I grabbed one of the last eggs and crushed it in my hand wiping it all across the side of his car.

Another egg was used for the other side, and I was down to two eggs. I picked up and egg and moved around the side of the car, accidentally kicking a stray rock and cracking the egg all over the floor before the car.

I inwardly cursed my clumsiness and the stupid rock. I only had one egg left. I left it in cracked, right on the middle of the bonnet, standing up.

That was Hugo's car and his eggs done. Now it was time for Matts car and his new paint job.

I walked into the garage and pressed the remote opening the garage door up. Running back inside I grabbed Matts keys from the kitchen table and drove the car out of the garage, next to Hugo's egg covered car.

I put the garage door down again and grabbed the spray cans from the floor where I had left them.

Taking the green paint in my right hand, I hovered over Matts white Toyota Camry. I shook the can and pressed down on the nozzle.

Green paint shot out and smacked into Matts car, covering his nice white car with green. I sprayed the entirety of his bonnet in green paint.

For side of his car, I used the red paint making sure not to get any on his windows, because even though I wanted revenge that would be a killer to get off.

Both sides of his car where bright red, and so was a portion of my body. The spray can liked to do it's own thing and backfired a few times.

When I got to the back of this car, i sprayed a dark coat of black over it. I made sure to put on a few coats, just so it would be a pain to remove.

When I was done, his car was no longer white, but instead green, red and black. The top of his car was a mixture of all three, in a row pattern.

I stepped back and admired my work. I grabbed Matts keys from the floor where I had left them, and after getting washed off with a hose, I drove the car back into the garage.

My work was officially done, now came the result.

*****

It was 5 o'clock when Hugo announced he had to leave. Mum had invited him to stay for dinner, but he politely declined saying that his mum was waiting for him.

There was still enough light outside that would allow me to see this prank out in its full.

I sneakily followed the two boys out of the house and watched their jaws drop at the sight before them.

The sight before them, was obviously Hugo's car. They stood there in shook for a few minutes, until realisation finally kicked in.

Hugo was red in the face, and I couldn't tell if he was really angry or not. "Brooklyn!" He yelled. "What have you done?!"

I came out from my hiding spot, which was behind a bush. "Paybacks a bitch, isn't it?" I laughed at him.

I turn to look at Matt, but I find him laughing too. I scoffed at him. "What are you laughing at pretty boy? You should see your car!"

I see the colour drain from my brother's face in milliseconds. He runs inside trying to find the garage remote, and when he runs back out through the front door, I'm dangling it in front of him.

He growls and leaps towards me and I chuck them at him. He stomps towards the garage door, pressing the button and watching it slowly go up.

I flick on the light for him, and watch his eyes widen and his jaw drop towards the fall.

"It's not so funny now, is it?" I chuckled at him.

"Oh, you're gonna get it Brooklyn!" He growls and me and chases my out of the garage.

I screamed and sprinted away from him, down the street. When I've ran a safe one hundred metres, I slow down and glance over my shoulder. To find him right behind me, snarling like a dog.

I pick up the sprint again, and race away from him. Another hundred metres later I can hear heavy breathing behind me.

I turn around and Matt is bent over with his hands on his knees, taking deep breaths. He's fast, but not as fast as me. Even though he's so fit, i can run double his speed at a sprint.

I see Hugo's egg covered car pull our of the driveway and past us on the road. Hugo tooted the horn and gave a wave.

I gave him a big grin and flipped him off, then waved back.

I left Matt where he was sitting, glaring at me, and walked back into the house. Leaving him to clean up my mess, just like he did to me this morning.

Doesn't everyone just love a good prank war scene? I know I do. Let me tell you, there's plenty more to come with the Big Plan, Hugo has for Austin.

I do not condone egging or painting someone's car. But if you really feel like doing it, you didn't get the idea for me.

Later dudes.
