…if you play some really bad practical joke on somone. Yeap, you’ve guessed it right; it’s APRIL FOOL’S DAY! Back in high school, this is the day that you gotta be extra cautious, from getting tricked by simple pranks (eg the stewpid look-up-and-finger-poke-your-chin trick) to some really good tricks…

Got time for a ride? Wanna take you guys down my memory lane for a while… (Action:Benet ushers you to look into his pensieve) ……..

It was back in Form 4 (I was 16 around then - yeah, long time ago…) and it was really our honeymoon year. I was in the best class (not academic wise) but we had every possible club’s president in the class (just short of a few clubs only) and we were really the “happenning” class. Anyway, the whole class decided to pull a practical joke on this new shy trainee teacher we have. I can’t really recall what boring subject she was teaching but heck; I can’t really recall what I actually studied throughout the year anyway! Okay back to my story… So, we decided that when she comes into the class; we’ll tell her that we’re suppose to go to the field to do some class duty during her period (pick up rubbish or some sort - we wanted to play truant actually) and that she’ll have to cancel class. So, everthing set, class monitor’s role is important and that’s settled; we waited patiently for her to come. (Halos apprearing above our heads)

A couple of minutes later, she walked into class and the cue for the monitor is up so he went and told the teacher about or “class duty” and she ~ not exactly sure what to do, told us to gather outside class and prepare to go to the field. So, it WORKED! Everyone was exiting the class, lining up, waiting for her to take a quick attendance check and as we’re just about to proceed - all of us shouted “APRIL FOOL!” and laughed… and laughed… and laughed.

Now, of course we were expecting that the teacher to be a bit sporty and knowing she was tricked; to just laugh it off as well… but NooOOo… she actually dropped her books on the floor (literally) turned around, and walked away - sobbing…. and then it dawned on us: WE WERE IN TROUBLE.

So,…. (a hand reaches in and pull you out of the pensieve)… what happened to us after that is another story… hahaha… but let’s just say we got off it without any harm.

Oh well… hopefully I didn’t bored you guys with my story. Anyway, if you want to know what other hoax was played during April Fool’s Day -why not read it here.
