School’s Out

Hello everyone.

Well, that’s me finished school now. Goodness me I can’t believe it. 6 years of my life has passed already, that’s really scary to me. As promised I will fill you in on my last school day shenanigans.

The day began with everyone signing each others shirts and sharing our prank plans for the day. It also involved everyone agreeing that as it was our last day we would not be required to go to class as no other year had. How wrong we were. I had double-art first thing and as we’d all finished our work and thought we would just be painting for the sake of it if we went there was a unanimous vote that we’d all stay in the common room with everyone else who were also missing classes. Besides, we thought that’s what teachers would expect on our last day but when the bell rang and everyone stayed soaking up our last day together we had a rude awakening by our head and class teacher telling us to get to class or we’d be sent home. Oops. So I spent the first two-hours of my day painting which isn’t so bad I guess, but plans for pranking were delayed.

To be honest we were all a little disappointed with ourselves at what little pranks we played. I was involved in a few petty ones including me and my best friend dressing up as our head teacher. We weren’t sure what his reaction would be or if anyone would realise who were imitating but we were definitely not expecting the reaction we got from him! He was flattered that we’d dressed as him and almost proud of us-I don’t think he grasped that we were taking the mick.

We also made a poster saying “S6 2013” and had everyone in our year sign it then we placed it in a hard-to-reach area in the hope it will stay there for a while.

The next prank involved me and my friends writing random comments such as “Hug a sloth” or “Tickle my pickle” (my contribution) on lots and lots of post-its and sticking them all over the walls of the downstairs corridor.

This plan didn’t work out quite as we’d hoped though because the janitors (who were amused by our attempts) simply took them all down before anyone in the school could see our master-piece. *sigh*

Next up we provided sticker moustaches for people in our year based on that of our head teachers’. Once again however, I think he felt we were simply creating a shrine to him. Then when lunch-time came, me and my friends very suspiciously walked out of the canteen and went up to the balcony above it and dropped a bin-bag’s worth of balloons over everyone in the canteen. They fell to the cheer of everyone below who seemed to like our colourful contribution to the day.

That was pretty much all me and my friends did as we were too busy trying to spend time together and saying “goodbye” and “thankyou” to teachers however the rest of our year’s pranks included: putting a plant, table and chair on a hill outside our school with a hoody and a balloon-face based on our head teacher, then two boys in my year ran around the school in morph-suits, leeks were then put on a teacher’s car and the best one, when one of the girls in my year managed to access our school’s tannoy system and made an announcement about our year in the style of our head-teacher.

So that’s that. School? Done. Next up is my gap-year, university and then who knows what else. Exciting times ahead and I’ll be sure to bring you along with me. Thankyou for your continuing support each week.

Mollie
