CNF #109....A nuaghty science prank.

"I dislike pranksters, arrrrggghhhh!" These were the words of Katerine my best friend, whom I found screaming and hitting her fists on the wall behind our classroom. I quickly ran to her to prevent her from hitting her hands further on the wall.

"Why are you hurting yourself Kat? Did someone prank you?" I asked whilst checking her out. I looked at her egging her on for an answer but with a swagger that only belonged to queens from ancient dynasties, she stood akimbo and blurted out "who can dare prank me?" I simply witnessed Natasha Junior with a dead scorpionand that irked me. *"Becky, you know how much I detest the strong preying on the weak right?

"Yes I know and that's why I was alarmed but since "your highness" is alright, I think we better get to the science lab for Chemistry class. We can discuss Natasha's issue later or better still, we could report her to the Principal" I answered. "Reporting to the Principal is futile my dear. Have you forgotten that Natasha's parents are major board members on the school board? No one would want to discipline her but I will and soon" Katerine said with gusto and walked on ahead of me to the science lab. All attempts to get her to spill the beans on what she intended doing proved futile. I hurried after her so as not to be late for Chemistry class.

The next day in class, Katerine leaned in to whisper her plans to me. She wanted to prank Natasha but in an inconspicuous way. Katerine was a grade A student, hence she was very cautious of her actions. "We will carry out the prank using Mr Franks elephant paste practical that was taught yesterday",she said. "So what am I supposed to do?"

"Well, your job is to lure Natasha into the chemistry lab once I'm done mixing all the ingredients. I plan to use four times the regular amount so that I get a gigantic effect which would scare her to bits, hahaha". I looked at my friend in awe like she had grown another head and asked *"if you use four times the normal measurements for rhe ingredients, won't that lead to a recipe for disaster?

"No it won't,rather it would make Natasha scared. I want to see her scared face once the elephant paste erupts like a volcano" she replied. "Alright,when do you plan on executing this plan?" "Hmm, let's do it today before the close of school" Nodding my head in agreement but the sound of a teacher's entry into our class made us sit up straight.

True to her words, Katerine signalled me to follow her to the Chemistry lab as it was empty at that hour. We had thrity minutes before the school closing bell would ring. Katerine began her work of mixing the ingredients like we had been taught ,only thing is that she mixed four times the regular amount. She asked me to go lurre Natasha in like we planned before she adds the last ingredient which would make the elephant paste eruptt like a volcano. I quickly left to call Natasha in, luring her to follow me into the lab. Natasha was dumb enough to follow, she in front while I was behind her smirking. "You don't know what's coming for you, hehe" I thought to myself.

Immediately Natasha opened the door to the lab and entered, she got a big splash of elephant paste on her. From her head down to her socks, everything was stained plus her screams of shock mixed with fear got I and Katerine laughing. "What dod you do that for?" She asked Katerine who was in front of her. " This is to give you a taste of your own medicine. Didn't you prank Junior yesterday? Now it's your turn. You need to see the look on your face hahaha" Katerine continued laughing at the work of her hands on Natasha.

Feeling upset and not wanting to be seen that way, she stormed out of the lab to use the washroom while I and my bestie made a fist bump to our success. "This will quell her thirst for pranks moviing forward" kat said.

While we were still gisting and laughing about what we had done, we didn't see or hear the Mr Frank the Chemistry teacher come in and when he saw the mess, he demanded for an explanation. Not wanting to lie to the yeacher, I opted to tell him the whole truth. He reasoned with us on our joint eforts to curb pranks but he also noticed that we made a huge mess and used up all the ingredients remaining for that practical and so we were to stay behind after school hours to clean the whole lab and we were also to buy back the ingredients we wasted.

I ket out a breath I never realized I was holding when he left but I was glad that the consequences of our actions were not severe. We were so tired bythe time we were done cleaning the lab. "I hooe to never do this again" I said......"me too" said Katerine as well.
