The Challenge

My name is Ella and I’m in grade three. There’s a boy in my class that I really like, but he hardly ever looks at me, and I think I have a way to change that. My plan involves two water balloons and a bra. 

Day one of The Challenge:

This morning I put my plan into play. I put on the bra and the water balloons while getting ready for school. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that I looked at least three years older. I thought they were a bit too big…but there was no time to make two new balloons. My bus would be coming in less than five minutes. It was all or nothing…I choose all.

I went outside to wait for my buss. It pulled up and I walked on with my head held high. Total confidence. Everyone stared at my bust, but I didn’t care. I bet they were all jealous. I bet I blew them all out of the park. Or in this case…the bus.

I went through the whole morning with the water balloons. During gym, I almost blew my cover. In the change room, I was about to pull my shirt off when I remembered how many girls were standing around me. I pulled it back down and ran into one of the cubbies.

While running laps, one of the water balloons fell out of the bra and I didn’t notice until a whole lap later when I saw a water balloon on the floor. I slowed to a walk and looked down at my chest. The left side was huge; the right side was…nothing. I wondered how many people knew what happened, but there was no time to find out. I picked it up and slipped it back into the bra through the collar of my shirt.

During Art, my best friend Penny consistently asked me how my boobs had grown so big in one day. I kept on telling her it was a new vitamin my mom was buying for me, but she didn’t seem to catch on. She really should have caught on. The question was getting on my nerves.

Finally. Lunch. After eating, I walked up to my crush. I wasn’t nervous at all. I knew he would be attracted to me as if I was a bathing suit model! With my hands on my hips, trying to walk like a super model, and smiling as huge as I could, I walked up to him and took his attention away from his friends.

“Why hello there.” I said with a seductive voice. I raised and lowered my eye brows a few times. Then: pop! Water soaked the whole right side of my shirt. I had a horrified look on my face and so did he. His friends started screaming. It was a very upsetting moment.
