It seemed as though the girls could do no wrong when they turned on the tv and saw the newsflash report on the battle of the sexes, which the girls seemed to be winning.
"Damn strait!" Zoey said to no one in particular when they sat in the lounge watching this report. "Can't let stupid boys get the better of us. Of course we're winning." She was now addressing the reporter who had just questioned who the winner would be.
At the moment it was definitely the girls but they had to give credit where it was due, the boys had played a few good pranks.
The morning after the report about the Molly Dolly had appeared, complete with the after photos taken by Zoey, she and Dana had been drenched with a massive water balloon as they walked to class across the quad. They had suffered a terrible mocking and considered themselves soundly humiliated.
Only this morning Nicole had run screaming into the dorm with red marks on her body and streaks on the towel she was clutching around her. It transpired that the boys had put red food dye in the shower cap and Nicole was under the impression it was blood.
They had cornered Lola in class by sending her lots of IM messages so that her computer beeped and she got into trouble.
They had taken a picture of Zoey in the shower and posted it on the school website. Mind you she and Quinn got their own back for this one by rigging a waterproof tape recorder in the boys shower bad recording Logan singing in the shower, very much out of tune. They had played it over the speaker system during lunch with an introduction.
What the girls hadn't told the boys was that Molly Dolly had a camera inside one of the eyes and had recorded the whole episode. They were planning to present it to the class as their media project on fear in the human male.
The girls exchanged the glass in all of Logan's mirrors so that he looked fat and short.
They locked Michael in the bathroom with Quinn's pet snake and recorded his screams.
Chase awoke one day to find that his hair was matted with honey. All the girls had needed to do was pour it onto his pillow and a little in his hair and by the morning he made a bison look beautiful and graceful by comparison.
And so it continued. Whatever the boys tried to do to the girls, they responded ten times better and faster than the boys did. If the boys tried to scare them with a fake spider, they got their own back with a real one.
As the weeks wore on the boys got more and more frustrated until they were forced to admit defeat.
Although they came to them privately and admitted that they were beaten, the girls still made them admit defeat publicly. Which they grudgingly did.
It was lucky that the girls had yet to hand in their male fear film, because the boys had one more trick up their sleeves.
