When I was in high school, I pulled an April Fools joke on my friend which was also meant to teach her a lesson.
We both worked in our school's office as part of a business co-op class. However, while I was always working, my friend would be out roaming the halls and talking to boys. She was never in the office working.
So on April Fool's day, I decided to make her think that she was fired.
I got one of the school's envelope and put a letter inside of it that read, "April Fools" and I sealed it.
So I got the principal in on it. He was very cool. I had him call her into his office and explain to her that he was firing her and that he had to report it to our co-op teacher. I also had him give her the envelope in which he told her it was her final paycheck inside.
When she came out of his office, I pretended to be finishing up a telephone call. When I hung up the phone, I asked her what was wrong because she had this very shocked and sad look on her face. She started crying and could not get out why she was crying. It almost made me want to cry and I started to think that this was not a very good thing. It started to feel like I had played a joke on myself...
I said to her "April Fools" but she did not get it and she continued to cry. I asked her did it have to do with the envelope she had in her hands and she said, yes. So I said, open it. She was boowhooing

bigtime now. When she opened the envelope, she read the letter and the principal, secretary, and myself yelled, April Fools!!
We never had another problem with her hanging in the halls when she should be working.
Afterwards, she was so mad at me and was shocked that the principal and secretary was in on it. Of course, we all laughed about it but it was also meant to teach her a lesson.
Believe it or not, we are still friends to this very day.
