Getting even

Mr. B. got even with Eleanor on Saturday. Eleanor, which is not her real name, is a classmate who has a tendency to tattle. After he knocked her out of first place in the reading competition, back in the spring, she specialized in getting him into trouble with the teacher. Saturday they were at the same swim birthday party for another classmate and when it came time for the water balloon battle, he made sure to burst a couple on her head. Satisified him enormously. Heh. Three days of school left. He can hardly wait for the last day on Wednesday. I can, but there’s no hope for me now.
