April Fools Day Pranks

It was March 31st and I wanted to pull the best prank ever on my older brother, Ryder. He is the oldest out of us four kids. When Mom and Dad died they put Ryder in charge, I don't think he can handle all the responsibility, that's why he asks me to help. Or maybe instead of pranking Ryder, I could prank Andrew, my second oldest brother. He's probably part responsible with looking after Curtis and I. Curtis is my third oldest brother, while I'm the youngest. I'm not the youngest by far, only a year. Curtis is fifteen, Andrew is sixteen and Ryder is seventeen. This wouldn't be the best idea, but instead of pranking my brothers... I could prank the Socs! My brothers and I are Greasers. Our friends are Greasers too! None of us get along with Socs at all, especially after the last incident. I don't understand why we were all born in one world and people separate it into two! Us Greasers can't walk alone with a group of Socs jumping us, exactly what happened to me! Ryder must of been insane to let me walk alone. Ryder would kill me if I told him this, but I love one of the Socs. I could never prank him. His name is Danny. Being a Greaser and all makes it pretty tough, to love someone in the 'different' world. I'd love to see the day when Danny became a Greaser and told me that he loved me! Except Ryder would probably get our whole gang and beat his head in! I haven't told anyone that secret except for my Best Friend, she's been my friend for as long as I can remember. Lisa! The brighter side of things is that, I'm actually with one of my own 'kind'. Kenickie, but some of us call him Ken. He hates that so we just stick with Kenickie. I love him, but I could never tell him that I liked Danny, otherwise he would be SO mad! His head would probably blow up!! He's been through a lot lately, with his oldest brother dieing in a horrible car accident, along with his parents!
Right now is four in the morning and Ryder has to get up in an hour to go to work, so I'm going to go change his alarm clock to an hour behind.

I tip-toed into Ryder's room. He got Mom and Dad's old room after they died. Except he changed the bed because it smelt too much of Dad and his manly stench. The alarm clock was closest to the door, I stopped in fright because Ryder started to toss and turn. He was probably dreaming of our old puppy, Squeak. The reason we called him Squeak was because everytime he barked, it sounded like he was saying squeak! He stopped tossing and turning. I reached the alarm clock and changed it, so the alarm would sound at exactly 5am so he would get to work at 6 and not 5. (Haha) I quickly ran into my room and fell back to sleep.

The alarm I thought, as I woke up. I heard Ryder scream!!
"VIOLET! ANDREW! CURTIS! GET OUT HERE NOW!" We tiredly walked out into the hallway. "Do ya'll know what time it says on this alarm clock?" He asked with a raised voice. We looked at him.
"Uh, five. Ryder" Andrew answered. Ryder cocked an eyebrow.
"YES! And do ya'll know what time it's supposed to say?" He asked as he raised his voice even higher.
"Um, four?" Curtis replied. Ryder cocked his eyebrow again.
"YES!! NOW I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK!" Ryder yelled. I looked at him.
"Man, Ryder.... chill! Your not going to be late." I assured him as he pulled out a cigarette.
"I need to go calm down!" He answered as he lit the cigarette, he burnt himself in the process and shook his hand just until the pain blew away. Ten minutes later he was downstairs wearing his blue jeans, looking as mad as ever.
"WHERE'S MY T-SHIRT?!" He yelled. He started stomping up and down the hallway. Curtis, Andrew and I were starting to get slightly frightened of Ryder.
"Um... It's on the back of the chair." Curtis pointed to it. We all laughed!
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Ryder screamed. At this point I burst into laughter.
"APRIL FOOLS!!!!" I shouted in laughter. Ryder stared at me with evil eyes. Andrew elbowed me.
"Don't say anything..." He whispered.
"YOU THINK IS SOME FUNNY IDEA OF AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE... VIOLET?" Ryder asked with an angry tone in his voice. I looked at him with scared puppy eyes.
"Yea, it's hilarious!" I replied as I burst out laughing again. He looked at me again.
"WELL NOW I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK AND I COULD LOOSE MY JOB!" He yelled.
"Ryder... I'm sorry, I thought it would be funny!" I replied.
"Well sorry doesn't cut it!!" He answered. I started getting mad, and when I get mad I start to burst out the truth!
"I like a Soc!! And Ryder you're the worst big brother ever!!" I bit my lip.
"YOU WHAT?!" Ryder was confused and mad all at the same time.
"DON'T SHOUT AT OUR LIL' SISTER LIKE THAT!!" Curtis shouted! Ryder hit Curtis in the back of the head. Now I was really mad!
"DON'T YOU HIT CURTIS OVER THE HEAD!!!" I screamed as I started hitting Ryder! Ryder began to laugh. I stopped hitting him and looked up at his face.
"What's so funny??" I asked.
"You!" Ryder replied.
"What about me??" I asked again.
"APRIL FOOLS!" Ryder shouted! He hugged me.
"It was an April Fools joke to see ya'll get mad?" I wondered.
"Yea, I know how mad you'd get if ya'll saw me get mad and when you see me sometimes hittin' ya guys you all stick up for each other. Thats true family love! So when I hit Curtis you got really mad, but it wasn't real!" Ryder laughed again. As he hugged me again.
"Oh... I guess that is kinda' funny." I laughed. Andrew and Curtis walked over and joined the hug.

Since it was the weekend, Ryder took a day off of work. He wanted to spend his weekend with his only family he has left, and we wanted to be with him! We went to the movies, had Dairy Queen, and ate blizzards. It was delicious!! Now I'm just so tired, so I think I'll get some sleep! I wonder if Ryder, Curtis and Andrew will remeber this day? Because I know I will!!
