21. Things Get Even Uglier

CHAPTER 21 THINGS GET EVEN UGLIER When wrestling practice ended at 4:30, Kipper's friends rushed to their lockers and turned on their phones. As they had suspected, there was another text from Kipper.

By the time Kipper got to his locker, he knew something was wrong. "What?" he yelled at his friends. "What NOW?" "Sorry, dude," said Loogie, "but we don't wanna play dress up with you!" "Yeah, Princess," said Finkstein. The three bullies chuckled. Kipper grabbed Bugg's phone and read the message. "I-I DID NOT WRITE THIS!" Kipper yelled. "And I DON'T have any DRESSES in my locker, either! I can PROVE it!" Kipper unlocked his locker and opened the door...

...revealing three of the prettiest dresses anyone had ever seen. Kipper's friends started laughing as he closed the door and checked to make sure he had opened the right locker. "SOMEBODY IS MESSING WITH ME," screamed Kipper. He tore the dresses out of his locker and whipped them to the floor. "Maybe you're just getting in touch with your feminine side," said Loogie. Kipper's three friends burst into hysterical laughter.

"Laugh it up, chumps!" yelled Kipper, as he searched the top shelf of his locker. Sure enough, there was another envelope. He ripped it open and read the message out loud: THERE IS NO ESCAPE! Signed, Wedgie Magee Kipper's friends stopped laughing and looked at the note. "Dude," said Bugg, "I think you really DID get cursed!" "At least it's a funny curse," said Loogie.
