When I was a 10th grade student in high school, our class was the best. It was the dream team class. Even though it was a girls’ high school, we were so funny and naughty. (This doesn’t mean we were bad at studying. Our average scores were the highest of all the classes. It was just like Fred and George in the Harry Potter series.) Our brains worked as fast as the supercomputer in any government for making jokes.
On April first, April Fools, we decided to make the best prank so no one would ever forget it. Someone had bought several chicken feet from a butcher shop the day before April Fools. Other classmates brought a bit of string (about 30cm to hang from the door) and tape. We arrived at 7 o’clock in the morning so no one would witness us. We tied those chicken feet up by white strings since the walls in the classroom were white coloured. After several minutes of hard work on the masterpiece of the century, we hung them on the door. To enhance the prank, we hung them on the door frame. Then we sat down pretending to be naive and innocent students.
As you can imagine by now, there was a small pandemonium in front of our classroom at the start of class. I won’t explain the details so that I don’t spoil your imagination. (As a matter of fact, I can’t adequately describe that spectacular crime scene.) I’m happy to remember that we received funny reactions from student teachers, who were nervous anyway for their first teaching experience. In the end, we were such kind students that we got rid of the chicken feet with our own hands.
NB: Since this event was only for April Fools and we were SO young and innocent, I ask that you don’t judge my friend and I as delinquents! We were hardworking students then and we still are!
