April Fools’ Day can get a bit tricky, because you never really know if someone is telling a lie or the truth.

When senior Adarian Alexander would tell people his birthday falls on April Fools’ Day, no one ever believed him.

“I used to get pranked when I was in first grade, because they used to say that April 1st was not my real birthday,” Alexander said.

April 1 is April Fools’ Day, otherwise known as the day to prank your fellow friends and enemies, but for some people it happens to be their birthday.

For others, it is the rememberence of a prank that either made them confused or break down into sadness.

“Freshman year my mom told me we were moving back to Puerto Rico because she got fired, and I believed her,” senior Jaymee Diaz said.

Usually students are the ones who play jokes and mess with their teachers, but sometimes the tables are turned and the teacher is the prankster.

“A teacher once told us [that] our class would be dissolved,” senior Maria Lopez said. “She had the counselor come talk to us, to help change our schedule, but it was a joke.”

Then there are ones who prank the whole school, like senior Brenda Rios.

“When I was in middle school I told everybody that I was moving,” Rios said. “I had a blank shirt for my friends to sign and everybody wrote me something. My best friends cried. Then the next day I told everyone ‘April Fools!'”
