APril Fool || A Tale of Family, Laughter, and Unforeseen Consequences by @vickoly

The 1st of April in the year 2017 was a day to remember for the scenario that played out on that particular day in my life and that of my parents. It was a day that's started with so much optimism and the zeal to prank someone just like everyone else does on the 1st of April yearly. Just like everyone, I played a prank on my parents that very year, and the outcome of that was what plagued them with most emotions you can possibly think about: worried, concerned, excited, angry, and others—just name it.

Pieces Of Mischief by @abenad

“Help! help!!”, Gisela screamed on the phone.
“He’s here, please come quick”, she added.
“Hey hey, relax what’s wrong? Take your time and talk. I just left your place some minutes ago. What do you mean by he’s there? Who is there?”, Her boyfriend replied over the phone.
Beep… beep! The call ended.
Neo checked his watch and it was just 3am. He had already spent the whole day with his girlfriend and just got back a couple of hours ago. He knew his girlfriend was clingy and dramatic but she wasn’t that extreme.

Prank Wars by @george-dee

While we were in school, my girlfriend pulled a pregnancy prank on me on the first of April and it was really scary. We were students and I couldn't think of becoming a dad at that point in life since I didn't want to bring a child into the world to suffer.
She was so serious and I couldn't concentrate in class for the rest of the day. I couldn't wait for lectures to end before I left school and I was lost in thought about what the future holds for us.

A Silly Little Note—High School Odyssey by @phyna

“Desire come back to your seat” I read and smiled at my girlfriends who winked at me.
“Is not that I'm running, only that I can't see the board from there” I wrote and passed the piece of paper back to them.
Well, the truth here is that there was a boy sitted on my locker and I couldn't share the same sit with him.

Sometimes Friends can be more dangerous than your enemies by @rosecane

Last year, one of my friends from this group and I planned to fool this 'smartest guy in the world'. In our WhatsApp group, we started discussing a tour to Pakistan in the last week of March. It generated a lot of excitement, and others showed a lot of interest in this plan, including the 'smartest guy'. We all decided to take a whole week off from work. Meanwhile, I made a separate group excluding the 'smartest guy' and told everyone else about this April Fool's plan.
