Once Bitten

"I HATE BOYS!!!!!" Megan Taylor screamed, reading a text from her best friend, Reese.

Charice Tyler and Megan had been best friends in the whole wide world for what basically amounted to forever. Their mothers, Pamela and Patricia, are best friends, too. Reese's brother, Kyle, is the devil's incarnate. Ever since they were little, he's refused to let Megan be happy, and that's not exaggerating. He just can't stand the thought of her being happy, so he does all he can to keep her miserable. Today, it doesn't take much. Every birthday party he has found a way to crash, every prank he's found a way to pull, every plan he's ruined...... and that's exactly what he just did.

So, maybe Maggie doesn't really hate guys. Maybe she just hates her best friend's brother. 

"Megan, you don't hate anything. You and Kyle go through this every week. You and Charice plan to sleepover. Last minute, Kyle refuses to let Charice come. So you throw a tantrum, and end up going over their house instead ," Megan's mom says, looking at Megan over the rim of her reading glasses.

There are three ways this can go tonight:

 1. Megan gives in like she always does,  goes over there, and has Kyle to deal with

2. Megan could sit here, pout like a child and spend the night with her little sister Jessica , or

3. Megan could go and bust Reese out

Which to choose? Which to choose? It's just so hard, but Megan has to go option 3. But she'll have to do this right.

Megan puts on the puppy dog eyes and cuddle up to her mom.

"Mommy, I know you're tired and this is alot to ask, but would you mind driving me over to their house to pick up Charice? Pweases," Megan asks her in the sweetest baby voice.

Pamela stares at Megan, internally debating with herself. Just as Megan begins to believe her fail-proof plan might, well, fail, her mom gives in. "I have to pick up Mikey, anyway. He and Jessica are having a sleepover. So I suppose I can take you since I'm going over there anyway."

Completely excited, Megan jumps up to put her shoes on while texting Reese.

Hey chik. Be ready in 10 min, im coming to bust u out. Luv u. Later

They are walking out the house, when her mom stops in the door. Now let it be known, Megan gets everything from her mother. Her caramel complexion, her eyes a few shades darker than her skin, her black hair. They are of average height, about 5'6.  Toned, with a nice-sized chest, slim waist, and hips made to stop traffic. So it should come as no surpise that Megan ran into her mom and hit the floor.

"Do you have homework ?"

"Mom! Next week is our last week of school. No ma'am, I don't have any homework."

"Wonderful! Now go and get your overnight bag."

"What? Why? The plan is to bring Reese here. I won't need it."

"You never know what might happen, sweetie. Please go and get it. We will not be going if you don't bring it."

"But.. But you have to pick up Mike."

"I don't HAVE to do anything. He can stay at home for once. Now if you want to go, you will bring the bag, understand?" she said with finality.

Megan sighed and ran to get her bag. All the while, wondering why Mikey was allowed to come and Charice could not.

Hate seems pretty accurate.

-------------------------------

"So, what are you guys planning on doing tonight?" Megan's mom asks as they take the 5 minute journey to Reese's house.

"Simple stuff, really mom. Movies, ice cream, gossip, fantasizing..... all pretty normal."

When they turn on Reese's street, Megan sends her a text telling Reese are here.

So here's the brilliant plan.

Megan would sneak around to the back of their house, and let the Tyler's dog, Lola, out of her cage.

Lola runs around to the front of the house barking, and heads down the street.

Kyle hears the barking and comes out the front door to chase Lola.

Then, BAM! Reese comes out the back door, locks it, and we make a mad dash to the car.

Pretty great,  right? There is no way Kyle could catch the dog and get back to the house in time. It's foolproof, Megan thought.

"Alright, hurry up and get the kids. My show comes on in 10 minutes, and you know I can't miss my Army Wives."

Megan made her way out of the car and begin Operation: Cobra
