It's the 1st/2nd day of April and it reminds me so much of how last year 1st of April went for me. I was running a predegree program then and I did made friends with quite a lot of people but then there was only one person who could make me an April fool 馃槀. Thinking about it now just brought a smile to my face, hehe. That day we had a class with our lecturer and we had to just sit back after he was done.
Our class representative was sitting down on his own so quiet and too peaceful which was so so unlike him. I was not sure why he was like that but then I didn't like it. I went close to him and ask him what was wrong and he said everything was fine. I kept pestering him to tell me what was wrong instead of me to just mind my business 馃う. Unknowingly to me he has other plans for this curious one. The next thing I heard from him was, okay I'd tell you.
You know, I had actually forgotten that day was the 1st of April and I didn't even think he will turn me to an April fool, lol. Prior to that day, he told me of how he was expecting admission into the university using a post utme results. Now he started with saying that he didn't get the admission and he already paid his school fees. Naive me, I didn't think through what be just said, I just exclaimed like an April fool will do, lol.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think that guy laughed when I did that (ahh!!!). He continued by saying his dad even borrowed the money to give to him to pay for the school fees. I was already feeling really sad for him because I knew it was not so easy to get that kind of money these days. I totally forgot that it was impossible to pay a school fees when you are not a student in that school.
I tried consoling him telling him that all will be well and the next thing I heard was APRIL FOOL! I was like, what?! This guy fooled me and the most painful part was that even after hearing him call me an April fool, I was still thinking he was joking because I totally fell for his touching story. It took me some time to finally accept that I was just fooled. I was so pained that I became the sad one in less than 2 seconds.
He tried pleading with me but I took it personal but I knew deep down that be was only trying to make everything real. And that was the best April fool story I've heard after a very long time. I'm more hurt because I've never told anyone a good April fool story before but that guy did it so fluently and easily. I promised to repay the kindness but I doubt if I can ever. Actually I'm scared that I might end up being the one who will be fooled again, lol.
Well well, this is my response to the first prompt suggestion for the Aprilinleo. It's been a while I participated but I'm glad to be joining this month, I hope to get all the prompts done 馃檪.
