Echoes Of The Undying

Bonus Chapter: The Great Prank War

**Scene: Horizon Shadow Class Common Room**

The Horizon Shadow Class had gathered in their common room, which had become a hotspot for laughter, chaos, and unexpected shenanigans. It was late afternoon, and the group was winding down from their daily routines.

Mary, the class’s reigning queen of jokes, was leaning back on the couch, grinning mischievously. “Hey, everyone, I’ve got a new prank idea. Who’s in?”

Mae perked up immediately. “Count me in! What’s the plan?”

Mary winked. “We’re going to turn Max’s locker into a giant balloon.”

Farhanah, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, burst into laughter. “Oh, that’s going to be epic!”

The plan was set. The group split into teams: Mae, Farhanah, and Mary were on one team, while Olga, Angella, and Rendy were the unsuspecting targets. The first step was to acquire as many balloons as possible from the supply closet.

Max was busy with their class paperwork when the first balloon popped. He looked up, puzzled. “What was that noise?”

Olga, walking by with a balloon in hand, tried to hide her grin. “Nothing! Just keep working.”

Mary and her team were blowing up balloons furiously. Farhanah’s balloon popped right in her face, making her snort with laughter. “Okay, maybe that was too much air!”

Mary burst into laughter. “Don’t worry, it just adds to the fun!”

The pranksters worked quickly, stuffing Max’s locker full of balloons. When they finally finished, they stepped back to admire their work.

Just as they were about to sneak away, Ann Christy walked by, her eyes widening. “What are you guys up to?”

Mae flashed a grin. “You’ll see in a minute!”

The prank team hid around the corner, waiting for Max to discover his balloon-filled locker.

Max finally walked over, oblivious to the impending surprise. As he opened his locker, a cascade of balloons exploded out, filling the hallway with colorful chaos. Max’s eyes went wide as he was enveloped in a sea of balloons.

Shamir, passing by, couldn’t contain his laughter. “That’s one way to brighten someone’s day!”

Max, buried in balloons, managed a muffled shout. “You guys are dead! Just wait till I get out of here!”

Angella, who had been on the other side of the hall, saw the commotion and immediately joined in. “Hey, what’s going on? Did I miss the fun?”

The balloon explosion had drawn the attention of the entire class. Nicole and Evagellina arrived just in time to see Max emerge, covered in a confetti-like shower of balloons.

Nicole laughed. “Wow, Max, you look like a party!”

Evagellina, holding her glasses, added, “You should have seen the look on your face!”

Max, now thoroughly defeated, managed a smile. “Alright, you win this round. But beware, payback is coming!”

The common room echoed with laughter as the prank war had officially begun. The Horizon Shadow Class spent the rest of the evening plotting their next moves, ensuring that the fun would continue.

Mary declared, “Next time, we’re going for something bigger. Maybe we can get a pie in the face involved.”

Farhanah grinned. “As long as I’m not the target this time!”

Mae chimed in, “Oh, it’s going to be legendary!”

The class dispersed, each student excitedly discussing their plans and ideas for future pranks. The atmosphere was light, filled with camaraderie and laughter, as they enjoyed the brief respite from their usual challenges.
