gotcha, WHEN PRANKS GO BAD by Mark Galli
A short story about two pages long about filling gym bags with shaving cream, letting air out of tires, painting a high school boy's bike pink and filling a locker full of manure, how much better does it get? The short story I picked is titled "gotcha, When PranksGo Bad" by Mark Galli. If you have a couple of minutes this is an entertaining story that is worth 5 min. of your time. This story in a nutshell goes as follows, two boys are best friends and they play pranks on one another for kicks and giggles. The girl that is crushed on by boy #1 asks boy #2 to a school dance. Boy #1 pulls a girlie move and doesn't say how he really feels when boy #2 asks him if its ok to go to the dance with his crush. The once funny pranks turn into revenge and their friendship takes a hit. The girl brings it to boy #2's attention that they are ruining their friendship. A sorry e-mail is written, the girl is dumped, and the fun pranks begin again. I read over the beginnings of quite of few stories but i think I picked this one because I can relate to it. My apartment of girls and a house of boys across campass have a prank war going on. We have done all sorts of pranks, and they have always been a good laugh. Now they are starting to get out of control. That is not cool when guys put Nair in your shampoo. Wouldn't you be ticked? Yeah, friendship terminated!

Wow, sounds interesting! Nair?! I know what you mean, i would be pretty pissed!
I love it! The boys next door actually put dead fish in my bathtub and on my nightstand so I might actually read this story for ideas on revenge!
