CHAPTER 14

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

And noowwww (drum roll please):

Day two of the prank wars!

"Take that!" I shout as I chuck a water balloon at Lucas' face. By now Claire and I are soaked to the bone because of him and Mathew.

"Evelyn! Over here!" Claire calls out to me from across her big backyard.

I jog over and give her a sneaky smile, "You got a plan?"

"Heck yeah I've got a plan." She replies and starts to walk away, I follow.

"Hey! Where are you guys going?" I hear Mathew yell. "Are you surrendering?!" He happily shouts.

We run around the side of the house and towards the front. Claire starts walking toward her front door.

"So what's your plan?" I ask Claire.

A mischievous grin grows on her face. "You'll see."

****FIVE MINUTES EARLIER****

"Thanks for inviting me over." I look over to Claire. "I needed the get away, my parents are fighting again." I shake my head and rest back onto the lawn chair, taking in the little sun that has shown up.

Today's weather is quite rare. It's almost winter in this cold city, yet the sun decided to shine!

"Absolutely, is Maddie at home? She could've come over too." Claire offers.

I smile gratefully, "Thanks, but she's actually at a friends hous-" I gasp loudly before I can even finish my words.

My body becomes drenched in freezing cold water as water balloons are thrown at both Claire and I. My hair sticks to my face as more of them are thrown. I stand up and walk over to the source: Mathew and Lucas.

Of course they're the culprits, I mean, we are in a prank war. I dodge the balloons the best I can until I reach them. But when I do, I'm so wet someone could look at me and think that I had just taken a shower.

"You guys had to choose today? I was trying to tan." I whine, then look down at my pale skin. I frown at the disappointment, back at my old house it was easy to get some nice, tan skin.

"Isn't it the point to catch you off guard?" Lucas remarks.

I growl, but once again, I'm interrupted. Right in the middle of my grumbling Lucas decided to smash a water balloon on top of my head.

I stare at him in shock, then in anger, then with a face of mischief at his stupidly content expression. "I declare war." I say simply while grabbing a balloon out of his hand and throwing it at his face. "Take that!" I yell.

"Evelyn! Over here!" Claire calls out to me from across her big backyard.

I jog over while tugging on my soaking wet clothes, which clung to my skin. I give her a sneaky smile, "You got a plan?"

"Heck yeah I've got a plan." She nods her head to the side for me to follow her.

"Hey! Where are you guys going?" I hear Mathew yell. "Are you surrendering all ready?!" He happily shouts.

We run around the side of the house, if they only knew... Claire leads me to the front of the house and starts walking toward her front door.

"So what's your plan?" I ask Claire.

A mischievous grin grows on her face. "You'll see."

By her front door she has a hose, once she turns the spigot, I know what she has in mind. "Oh... I see, I like the way you think." I tell her with a smile.
