Tricks

I am consistently tricked on April Fool's Day, and I don't know why others always want to play tricks on me, maybe I'm so naive to trust others. The most impressive memory for me is that I  was tricked by my classmate on the morning of the April Fool'sDay. I was in a relationship with one of the boys in my classroom. He would pass me a note during the class and I was so into him that I couldn't focus on my study. I remember my classmate told me I needed to report to Ms. An's office immediately, and she would have some serious talks with me. I was really nervous and wouldn't dare to report to her office. But I didn't have another choice. When I entered her office and looked at her confused face, I realized that I was tricked by my classmate. Suddenly, Ms. An said since you were here, I did want to talk something with you. Then I was so surprised that she told me I needed to break up with the boy and concentrated on my study. And it was just puppy love, we barely had future. I just stood there and said nothing. After that experience, I am eager to take a day off during the April Fool's Day, for I guess it is the best way to run away from the tricks.
