Fifty five
Jessie's POV
Jade, Zach and Faith all opted out of the sleepover. Harry and Floss were going to have their own in the living room with Jody as they were the youngest. Holly and I pushed our beds together and Tee the pushed hers against Holly's. This left us with all three beds up against the wall. Luckily I hadn't to move mine so all the stuff under my bed was still... under my bed in a mess. Carmen, Holly's sister Lily, Elektra and Purple (other Lily) all brought sleeping bags, blankets and pillows into our room. We'd decided that with all three beds pushed together five of us could probably fit on them and the other three were going to sleep on the floor/ mattresses in sleeping bags. We all rock, paper and scissor for it. I lost along with Lily and Holly so I was sleeping in the middle of the two sisters to stop them from fighting each other in the night.
The boys were spending the night in Charlie and Josh's room. While everyone was helping to sort out the sleepover I popped upstairs to see the boys. I knocked on the door and Tyler opened it. "No girls allowed," he said when he saw me. He went to close the door and I stuck my foot in the doorframe.
"Aw, now that's mean Tyler, especially since I'm bringing gifts," I teased. He peered behind him and then looked back at me.
"What sort of gifts?" he asked. In my hand I held up all the boys pyjamas. His eyes widened. "guys, Jessie has got our pyjamas." I heard the boys all jump up, knowing that was my cue I legged it back down the stairs and away from the attic. I could hear the boys footsteps pounding the landing after me. I ran past the girls bedroom and stopped at the top of the stairs. We'd planned a little prank for the boys. Elektra was crouched in the doorframe of Carmen and Lily's room ready for the boys. They stopped when they saw me.
"Jessie give us the pyjamas," my brother demanded. I shook my head so he took a step forward. That was Elektra's cue and she pulled on the piece of wire that she was holding. As she did so, an entire bucket of soup tipped over, covering my brother (and Charlie and Tyler who were standing a little bit too close) in soup. I cracked up laughing. I then heard the other girls.
"Charge!" that was Carmen and the girls jumped out of the bedroom and cupboards on the landing and pelted the boys with eggs and flour bombs. I just stood at the top of the stairs shaking with laughter as they all looked so stunned. We all stopped. Josh turned back to me.
"Can we have them back now?" he asked. I shook my head. He exchanged a glance with the boys and then the all charged after me. My eyes widened in shock and I legged it down the stairs. Josh finally caught me and when he did he dragged me to the ground and all the boys jumped on me, shaking flour egg and soup off of them and onto me. Mike came in and looked at us with raised eyebrows.
"I'm not even going to ask but just make sure you clean it all up," he said and walked back of down the corridor. Luckily it was in the kitchen so the tiles would be easy to clean. Upstairs was another matter. The boys finally stood up and let me up. I glared at them and chucked them their pyjamas. They grinned and ran back upstairs, leaving me to clean the kitchen. That was when I heard Mike shout. "Girls what have you done? You can all clean this up now! The poor boys. Ew! Go have showers boys," he told them. I giggled. He then shouted down the stairs towards me. "And Jessie that kitchen better be spotless by the time I get down seeing as it was obviously you lot that caused the mess." I shook my head and grabbed the bucket and mop from the cupboard. I had it easier. The kitchen was tiles but it was carpet upstairs. I giggled at the thought of the girls trying to hover up all the egg and flour and then using vanish on the carpet. Elektra and Tee came into the kitchen to get some cleaning supplies. They were laughing at how it was well worth it. They stopped when they saw me and then burst out laughing. I grinned.
"they got you then," they said. I nodded and poured some tile cleaner into the bucket of water and then mixed it up with the mop. They took the supplies back upstairs and I set to work mopping up the soup, flour and eggs on the floor. I was about halfway through when my eyes were covered by two hands.
"Guess who?" they said. I smiled.
"Rick," I said. He removed his hands and scowled at me.
"how did you guess?" he asked.
"Well you did speak to me and I recognised the voice. Come here," I said and I gave him a small hug trying not to get him covered in flour. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back. We were interrupted by someone coming in behind us. We broke apart guiltily and saw Mike standing there.
"Aren't you meant to be doing something Jessie," I grinned guiltily and got back to moping.
"I'll finish off," Rick told me taking the mop out my hands. "Go have a shower," he told me. I nodded my thanks and ran back upstairs to have my shower. I jumped in the shower and washed the soup, egg and flour out of my hair and washed my body. I turned the shower off. I reached round the shower curtain to grab my towel and found nothing there. I blinked twice and then stuck my head round the curtain. There were no towels in the bathroom. In fact they had taken my clothes as well leaving me with just my bra and knickers as well as a note.
Jessie,
Sorry but you organised this. Elektra told us. We have got our revenge. We left you with your bra and knickers as that would be a little bit overly cruel. Oh and we have locked the bathroom. We are on guard and we are not letting you out of the bathroom until you put on the baby's nappy, bonnet and dummy.
Love the boys xx
I glared at the note and scanned the room. There was a baby's nappy, pink bonnet and a pink dummy. I glared at it. I slipped my underwear back on. I glanced down at my scars and burns. I guessed Josh and Rick weren't involved in this as they would have put a stop to it knowing what my skin looks like. I sighed. I was just going to have to cope with the teasing. I grabbed the nappy pulled and put it on. Surprisingly it actually fitted me. I tied the bonnet on over my hair and stuck the dummy in my mouth. I knocked on the door. The door opened a crack and Johnny looked at the dummy and bonnet he had spotted. He grinned cruelly and then opened the door fully. That was the point I legged it out the bathroom but not before I heard him gasp. I dived into the nearest room which happened to be Elektra, Faith and Jade's. Luckily for me none of them were in there. I slammed the door shut and locked it. I sat in front of the door and cried.
I could hear Tyler, Johnny, Blake and Charlie all arguing. The other three had been waiting on the landing with a camera and as I had ran, they had taken a photo. Johnny had obviously told them what he had seen as Tyler was trying to tell him that there was nothing in the photo. I heard all three boys gasp as they saw the marks on my body.
"What's going on?" I heard Josh ask. I could almost hear their knees knocking. I heard Tyler try to explain. "YOU DID WHAT?! You idiots. You should have at least checked with me first. And Charlie that's your cousin." I heard footsteps.
"What's happened?" that was Elektra and Rick. Josh explained and then I heard a knock on the door. "Jessie. It's Elektra. Can you let me? I'll find you some clothes," she said quietly. I moved away from the door and unlocked it. She opened it carefully. She looked at my tear streaked face and went straight to the wardrobe. "here put these on. That way those who haven't seen, won't see," she told me handing me a denim skirt of Jade's and one of her blue t-shirts. I nodded and put them on. She led me out the room and back to the girls room. She glared at the boys as we went past. They all looked suitably sorry. We walked into the girls room. The girls all looked at me and saw I was upset. Elektra explained quickly what had happened and soon the girls were surrounding me trying to make me feel better.
A/N: this is my longest chapter so far. Don't worry Jessie will get her own back on the boys and the boys will get their own back on the rest of the girls. Indigo :)
