The velvet-blue sky with twinkling stars turned in and the yellowish orange sun came out to play. The day lighted up as the colossus sphere of intense heat shone the first ray of dawn and the birds began to croon their beautiful songs. The calendar on my wall showed that it was the first day of April and I was sure it would an exciting day ahead as it was the dreaded day of pranks and joke.
Everything went according as planned. Before school assembly even started, the early bird, Glen, already crept into the classroom. Running on her skittish legs like ostrich’s, she placed some hideous looking rubber cockroaches and lizards in the drawer where the attendance file was kept. Then without being notice, she crept out of the classroom and went to the hall for assembly
After the long, boring assembly had ended, we were led to our class room by our targeted victim, Ms. Kwok. We started the bright and gay day with the usual courteous greetings. As Ms. Kwok went to take the attendance file, all of us chuckled to ourselves as we waited in anticipation for the scream.
“Ah!!!.....” A bloody-curdling scream pierced the silence of the classroom. My terrified teacher jumped out of her skin and yelled at the top of her voice. Some of the sadistic pupils in the class started to laugh at our well-loved teacher.
Suddenly, Ms. Kwok passed out right in front of us with a loud thud on the floor as she collapsed in fright. Without thinking, I took the attendance file and began to fan her, hopping to revive her but to no avail. The next door teacher, Ms. Lee, rushed over to see what the commotion was about.
“What on earth is happening here?!” enquired Ms. Lee. The whole bunch of us answered the question with different answers. “Cool down, Kelly, Tell me what happened?” I pointed at Ms. Kwok, lying, not moving, she let out a gasp and called for help.
Stricken with guilt, everyone in the class crowded around Ms. Kwok. Out of a sudden, Ms. Kwok’s big eyes snapped open without warning as she let out a laugh.
“Happy April Fool, 5Hum!” Ms. Kwok smirked. “Kelly, Go and tell Ms. Lee I’m alright. I was just playing a fool.”
With that, everyone could not help but praise Ms. Kwok on her well-honed acting
