Back in school, life was always full of funny moments and sometimes, even the most unserious situations turned into memories. I remember back in school, I had this coursemate who was known for skipping classes. He hardly attended lectures and would only show up whenever there was a test or exam coming up , he never joked with that part. He didn’t care much about attending classes or writing assignments himself, he usually found someone else to do them for him. Sometimes, he could stay away from school for weeks, even up to a month, without attending a single lecture.
One day, after he had been absent for almost three weeks, my coursemates and I were having a conversation, and somehow, he became the topic of our discussion. We started thinking about how to get him to come back to school. Then one of my classmates decided to call him to find out where he was. When he did, the guy told us he was out of town. That was when I came up with the idea of pranking him.
I told my mates that we should call him again and this time we should sound very serious, telling him that one of our lecturers had fixed a test for the next day by 7 a.m. Everyone agreed, and that was how we set the plan in motion. We called him and told him about the supposed test. My guy fell for it and became so restless immediately and started calling us back, asking us to snap our lecture notes and send them to him so he could study for the test We did snap our notes and sent him to make it look real.
The funniest part was that he actually came to school the next morning, about thirty minutes before 7 a.m. We were all shocked to see him so early. At 7 a.m., our course representative pretended to receive a call from the lecturer, saying that the test had been postponed because the lecturer was in a meeting which was still part of our prank.
We went on with our normal lectures that day. There were many classes that day that he couldn’t leave school even if he wanted to, all because he was waiting for the test. Later in the afternoon, we all gathered in the department hall. When our eyes met his, we couldn’t hold it anymore, we burst into laughing. He looked confused and asked why we were laughing. One of my classmates asked him, So, tests and exams are the only things that can bring you to school, right?
That was when he started putting the pieces together. He realized that none of us had shown any seriousness about preparing for a test. Out of curiosity, he finally asked if there was truly a test, and that was when we told him the truth, that it was all a prank to make him come to school. He was a bit upset at first, but after a few minutes, we all laughed about it.
It was one of the funniest pranks we ever pulled in school, and up till now we still talk about it whenever we remember those days.
