Prank went wrong

Author – Alexander

Last saturday I went to my friend Marc. We were a little bit bored and didn’t know what to do. At some point Marc said let’s go outside and find something to do. We got outside, grabbed our bikes and went cycling. After some time we got to a park with a playground with a sportsfield and a little skate park. We got to the playground first with different apparatus, we hung out at the swings for a while and then I saw this climbing tower made of ropes. I decided to climb it and hoping Marc would follow me, hèhè 😉. I sat there for a little while and my hope turned in reality and Marc climbed up too. When he reached my feet he grinned a little and said, nice shoes you’re wearing. I said yeah I like them too. Then he grabbed my left shoe and tried to pull it off my foot but I had tied them up a little tight. He decided to untie the lace and pull it very loose. Then he did the same with my right shoe but he didn’t take them off. I was wondering what he was up to so I waited for the next thing to happen. He then grabbed my leg and started shaking it untill my shoe fell off revealing a light grey socked foot. Marc laughed because my shoe landed in the sand away from this tower and then he did the same with my other leg. That shoe landed even a little bit further away and Marc was only laughing and said they look good there too don’t they? I laughed too and said yeah maybe, I felt excited but I didn’t show it. Marc started climbing down again and picked up my shoes. He looked up to me and said if you want them back you’ll have to come down and get them. I waited for a moment and started to climb down too. When I reached the bottom I could see Marc walking towards the sportsfield. I couldn’t see if he was carrying my shoes so I had to go through the sand to follow him and get my shoes back if he still have them. From a distance I saw he reached the basketball hoop and he started throwing my shoes up. At the same time some other guys approached from the other side and came up to Marc. I got some shivers because I could see now these guys helped him throwing my shoes up. Then one of the guys saw me and said these are yours? I said yes, can I have them back? He only laughed at me and said sure you can. I saw he tied them together and he made a last throw up the basket and my shoes got stuck. These guys were all laughing and leaving again and wishing me luck getting my shoes back. Marc just stood there saying sorrie to me. I looked at my shoes hanging up there and got more excited but at the same time I was thinking about how to get my shoes down again. Marc decided to take off his shoe and throw it up and try to knock mine down but after a while of throwing we could see that didn’t work. We started searching for a long stick but we had no luck. Marc said let’s go to my place, we hace some long sticks lying around. We then walked to our bikes and got a stick from Marc’s house. When we got back to the park there were some others playing basketball. They looked at us and one of them said there’s the shoeless one, the shoes up there must be yours. I said yes and Marc was already trying to get them down. After a few tries my shoes came down. I picked them up to put them on again but the knots were too tight to untie them and I had to go home in my socked feet. It was a 30 minute cycle and several people watched me and some were making fun of me. All and all it was an exciting afternoon and I was happy I got my shoes back at least….
