Daniel had been pulling pranks for awhile and they were not limited to the faculty of the orphanage but also to students who might mess with him. After a local bully messed with him and beat him up a little bit, he replaced his shampoo with Nair, which is a hair removal product.
The bully walked around for the next month with his hair growing back in patches. He didn’t mess with Daniel again.
Daniel wasn’t really a bad kid but he made bad decisions and wanted to impress people and be the center of attention but because of this he never had many real friends because no one would take him seriously and it was also hard to find a kid who hadn’t fallen victim to one of his pranks or was caught in the cross fire of one of his practical jokes.
His last practical joke, which cost him a few months of freedom and more scratches than he could remember. The price for spiking the cafeteria juice machines with ever clear a very potent alcoholic drink, which was basically five percent whatever and ninety-five percent straight alcohol, and getting half of the kids drunk at the orphanage was to weed a briar batch until it was almost a barren field.
To get Water Pail back Daniel did something memorable for his birthday at the orphanage. There had been a birthday party for the headmaster when a big burly police officer walked into the room interrupting the party just as the cake was being passed out to the entire staff including the janitors.
“Mr. Hedges I’ve come to take you down town,” said the stripper.
Mr. Hedges stood there with a shocked look on his face and than demanded to why.
“Why do I need to go down town?” said Hedges.
“I don’t need to answer your questions you scum now sit down in that chair!” said the man.
Mr. Hedges complied and sat in the chair a little shaken from the mans booming voice. After he had sat down the man proceeded to handcuff his hands to the hard wooden chair.
“Before I take you to the station I’m going to make you confess,” said the man. “I just have one question. Have you been a bad boy?”
In a flash the man, tore off his tear-away pants and shirt stripping himself down to his bikini bottoms and his greased up tan body. Another man suddenly jumped from the door way with a portable CD player, which blared fast paced dance hall music.
Before Mr. Hedges could protest, the male stripper was bumping and grinding on him giving him a lap dance in front of the entire staff, which stood there dumb struck not knowing what to say or do.
The stripper continued to grind on Mr. Hedges lap and he gritted his teeth his small rimmed glasses sliding off his nose because of the gyrations of the stripper almost smothering him. He finally erupted.
“Get off of me you freak!” Hedges yelled. “I don’t know what the hell you are doing who you are but you have five seconds to get off me or so help me god I won’t be held responsible for what I do.”
The music stopped. The stripper had just as a surprised look on his face as Mr. Hedges had had before the clothes came off. The stripper quickly gathered up his clothes and ran out of the room with his partner following close behind.
It wasn’t hard to find out that Daniel was responsible. For one he had been hanging outside the window the whole time filming the incident and was easily found after he burst into laughter right after Mr. Hedges kicked out the nearly naked man.
Mr. Hedges didn’t want to deal with him. They assigned the gym teacher to think up some exercises for him to do in the gym and Mr. Hedges disappeared into his office and didn’t reappear for the rest of the day.
So after Daniel had nearly chopped a forests worth of wood into quarter pieces to be sold at one of the orphanages fund raisers, he decided to scale things back again and decided that he was going to super glue all of the head masters pencils, pens, staplers, note pads, hole punches, pencil sharper, computer key board, and computer mouse to his desk.
The headmaster walked into his office sat down and tried to pull the stapler off the desk to staple some papers together. Instead he took the stapler off the desk and a chunk of wood from the desk itself.
This was a continuous cycle of punishment and pay back punishment and pay back over and over again.
Pennies glued into door locks to prevent them from being opened. The desks of every class room being placed on the roof. Putting a herd of cows on the roof. Inserting dead fish into the arm rests of the faculty’s chairs.
These were all things that Daniel had done and someway or another had been caught doing. I guess you could call it profiling but it worked because most of the time it was his fault.
After the blue urine incident though, the three quarts of blue food coloring that Daniel drank the night before might be the straw that broke the camels back. After all the things he had done while he had been an incident this might be the one thing that could change Daniels life forever, or maybe it wouldn’t.
