A cruel April

  Yesterday, one of my best friends told me she was moving to New York. She was so sad, she even started crying. A couple of months ago her dad worked at some company. Then something happened and then half their employes lost work. In October her dad said they might be moving to New York so he can start his own company. So, the whole New York thing has been dangling over our heads. That made me believe her story even more. 

She was so convincing, at lunch she even said how they had a family meeting and her brother ran upstairs and slammed the door. Like I said before, she even started crying. Then,  I did. 

The whole day I was upset. Then after 8th period I went up to her and said 

Me - Theater Production auditions are next week. 

Maggie - But I'm not going to be here next year. 

Me - Still, try out, just in case. 

Maggie and whole group of my friends - APRIL FOOLS!!

Me - WHAT?!!

Then, I kicked Maggie right in the tailbone. 

So, what do you think?? April Fools Joke or Cruel Prank??

I think that was a little bit cruel for an April Fool's joke, especially, if she started "crying" herself and then saw you crying (for real) and didn't immediately tell you it wasn't true.

yeah..that was a little mean considering that you were already worried about her moving.

The good news is, she's not moving. Two good buds lost to NYC in one year would be the cruelest of fate's jokes EVER!!! I'm glad her fam is staying here. I LOVE them too!! :) A word about April fool's jokes, or just practical jokes in general...I hate them. Nuff said. :0

I fell for three, count them three, April fools jokes. That was mean. They should be flogged for making you cry.
