My (Mackenzie's) senior prank





It has to be done every year, and every year it has to be better than the previous year. So in follow up to a terrible idea to let helium balloons go in the halls (gay) a couple friends of mine and I decided to do a smaller scale more mischevious senior prank. With all the connections I have for being a good student, I got the principals secretary to let us in his office. So at 8 pm on a thursday night 4 students and 1 staff member invaded the school with 12,000 post-it notes (literally). For the next hour and a half, we cover the principals office with post-it notes. So after a sleepless night with smiles on our faces, we meet in the parking lot the next morning waiting for the principal to greet us in front of the building. Walking as a 4 man wall we approach the school trying not to make our grins too obvious. All we get is a glare from the principal who has already checked the cameras and knows who it was. We text non-stop through first period trying to figure out how he is going to get us back, or if he is going to do anything at all. Finally the announcements come on in 2nd period, me and one other partner are in the same class and with open ears listen for Mr. Smith to say something...but nothing. After the pledge we sit down in confusion and start to think nothing will happen, but wait...the intercom comes back on and in front of the whole school our principal says "oh yeah i forgot one more announcement, there seems to be some post-it note bandits running around. It's 4 seniors so if any teachers know anything about this please call my office and let me know, thank you." We could barely sit still after this. All the teachers were going crazy trying to figure out who we were. There were emails being sent with pictures and rewards offered for anyone who knew anything about it. The whole school was trying to bust us, but we didnt tell a single person. Finally in 4th period im in the attendance office as Mr. Smith walks by and looks in the window at me, turns around, and heads for the door. He comes in and calls me into his office and tells me to sit down (in a chair covered in post-it notes). The plan was to call in a detective and a police officer and put my in handcuffs and bring in the other 3 to scare them. It couldnt have worked better. Mr. Smith makes another announcement, "I need 4 students to come to my office, I would have worte their names on a post-it note but i couldnt find one. Those students are, Mackenzie Mullins, Whitney Olness, Blake McCrackin and Kasey Lane." After walking in to the office and seeing me in handcuffs and on the verge of tears (it was hard to fake cry) Mr. Smith told 2 of the girls who played volleyball they could not play in their playoff-depending game that night because a box of confescated items went missing from his office (which we looked through and had all sorts of knives and bb guns in it...scary those things were found at school, but we didnt take it). So the girls were crying and the other guy was scared because hes salutatorian and thinks he will get suspended. So after sending the other 3 in the waiting area for a little bit they finally send me out to tell them we were kidding. The next day was the best fay ever, we just soaked up the glory from everyone, even peopel we didnt know complemented us, it could not have been a better prank!!! Seniors 09
