Goodday hivers, welcome to another week of the weekly prompt. 1st April, a new month.
Happy new month hivians, may this new month bring us fortune and good health.
I'm glad to be writing on this very topic, because I have been tricked countless times on this very fateful day.
April fool. I guess everyone is a victim of “April fool” . You can be tricked by friends to a point you get pissed up and you want to to befriend them.
April fools could be good or bad depending on how you were tricked. April fools are fun play tricks.
It reminded me of my school days, while in school.
My first time in college, there's this fun calling of a new student who just arrived at college “jjc” journey just come.
According to my timetable we are having lectures but I couldn't Identify the hall I'm having lecture. Suddenly someone was passing by. I waved at him and he stopped, I asked him about a lecture hall, he replied " are you a new student? I replied yes, he laughed and glanced. But I couldn't just figure out what is funny, he now gave me direction to multi-purpose hall, when I got there I couldn't find anyone, I was like nevermind I still ask someone a guy still, i told him I suppose to be having lectures in so, so hall but I was directed to this place. He also asked If I'm a new student, I said yes. He smiled and looked away, I also smiled back at him but still didn't know what's funny still.
He directed me to the sports hall, reaching there I only found some students having fun. I couldn't go in to ask them because of that question that keeps ringing in my mind.
So I stood outside, luckily enough a lady was passing by and I stopped her. But first I told her the drama about the “jjc” stuff I've been passing through lately. She also smiled and laughed, I wanted to pick an offence on it, but I composed.
She now said I'm going to help you and now feel relaxed. But first she said I need to tell you something. First time in college. If the old students know that you're new into the environment they play tricks and make fun of you.
I was like wow, that's it! She said yes.
I said it's fine, at least I learned something.
She now gave me directions, but guess what. It's the school black market she directed me to. While going She shouted “April fool” I did not bother, She called again “hey” jjc April fool. I stopped and asked her if she was referring to me. She replied yes and started laughing. I become speechless and also join her in laughter.
There's a saying that said he who asked never lost, but not in this college. Behold I lost countless times. But I've learnt my lesson anyway.
After all the drama I attended my first lecture asking for directions.
