There is this friend I have that I dearly love but for some reason my friends and I cannot help but make fun of her all the time. Don't get me wrong, it's very playful and loving and nice and she knows we love her and we are never mean. But we just cannot help it. Recently (now that I am at high school) I have tried to become a bit more creative with my pranks:
Somehow I managed to find out her locker combination. She is one of those people who love to decorate their lockers with endless magnets and pictures of friends. So I took advantage of this. For weeks... yes weeks... I took one magnet out of her locker per day. After some time I ran out of magnets. If I wanted to go further I would have had to mess with her pictures and I had a feeling she would notice after that.
That very day she called me to ask if I did this. Of course I denied but I began to feel a bit bad. So I decided I would wrap up all of her magnets (17 of them by now) in a Christmas present, attach a note, and include one handmade special personal magnet inside, and leave it in her locker. The next morning I was a bit nervous because I thought that she still might be a bit mad at me especially because I denied it at first.
To my pleasant surprise, I walked into school and was greeted by a big hug from her saying "You are the best friend ever!" I could not have been more happy.
This is a perfect example of my friend who loves a good joke. Whenever you do a prank or something make sure you appoligize or do something for them in the end, but most importantly, make sure you do the joke on someone who won't freak out.
I want a friend in life I can love but they can still laugh with me. My advice for the evening: be that person.
