The Houstwater's Daughter

Chapter one!

    The teenaged boys ran up the ladder, just waiting to come up with ideas. Danny got up first, then Josh, then Tyler, they all had come up with small stacks of paper along with pencils and erasers. “What first, boys? Do you have any plans?” Danny looked around, hoping for just one answer to help.

“Maybe…” Josh sighed and took a pause, “Just maybe we can get the Houstwaters so angry that they have to leave.” Everyone looked at him, hoping he had a WAY to make them mad, but he just shrugged and looked at Tyler.

    Tyler looked back and started sketching something on a piece of lined paper, “Perhaps maybe we should do this... “ he held up a sketch of two boys playing in the sprinkler that’s in the Houstwater’s yard, and then he pointed to some bushes with two more boys hiding with squirt guns; He began to explain the picture and his plan, ”If two of us play in the sprinkler, one of the Houstwaters will have to come out and stop us, then the other two will squirt them and we all run away.” Danny was very intrigued and needed to know more, like when David will be at work or when Lola will be at school, just so he knows the perfect timing to make them all mad.

    But then, Danny had a perfect idea… he wasn’t sure how’d he’d execute it, or even begin to know how to plan it, but it was an idea nonetheless. “I got it!” he exclaimed proudly, absolutely breaking the long and uncomfortable silence between the now very curious guys.

    “We have to trick Lola to get her parents mad, here’s my little idea,” he stopped and took a deep breath, “we have to make Lola fall in love with one of us, if her parents find out she’s dating a non-rich boy, then they’ll FOR SURE be mad!” Danny looked around excitedly, delighted with his clever plan.

    Tyler glanced at Josh, then focused on Danny, “How are we ever going to do that? Lola would never fall for us.”

Josh agreed by nodding and Danny went back into deep thought, then he remembered prom was coming up, and as if by telepathy, “PROM!” they all shouted at once.
