Prank War

 Year 1: The Prank War Begins

Vasu and Desi, both in Class 8 at Vasant Vihar High School in Thane, were known for their mischievous streaks. It all started when Vasu put a horn on Desi's chair during math class. The loud, unexpected noise made the entire class burst into laughter. Desi, not one to be outdone, waited for the perfect moment to strike back. A week later, during a science experiment, Desi replaced Vasu's baking soda with flour, causing Vasu's volcano to fizzle out rather than erupt. The science teacher, Ms. Sharma, couldn't determine the culprit, but everyone knew who was behind it.

Year 2: The Pranks Escalate

As Class 9 began, Vasu and Desi's pranks grew more elaborate. One day, Vasu sneaked into the classroom early and set up a bucket of water above the door. When Desi walked in, she was drenched. The whole class laughed, but it wasn't long before Desi got her revenge. Desi managed to slip itching powder into Vasu's gym clothes. During the physical education class, Vasu couldn't stop scratching, much to the amusement of his classmates.

Their pranks occasionally disrupted the entire class. One day, Vasu and Desi conspired to set all the clocks in the classroom forward by 15 minutes. The teacher dismissed them early, only for the school bell to ring moments later, causing confusion throughout the school. Despite the growing frustration of their teachers, the class never snitched, enjoying the chaos Vasu and Desi brought to their days.

Another time, someone put an agarbatti tied to a laxmi bomb in the toilet. The big boom sent reverberations through the whole school. All the teachers yelled at the students, with the history teacher, Ms Dixit saying that a child could have died from heart attack. Still, nobody revealed who did it, and in fact, nobody knew. 

Throughout the school year, mysterious animals began to appearing in class 9C. One day, there were centipedes crawling everywhere. Another day, someone unleashed frogs, that began jumping all over the place. Then someone released a water snake in the swimming pool, scaring the pre-primary kids. A small baby bat that swooped and scared people caused waves of screams for a good twenty minutes before the peon managed to shoo it away. A big fat bandicoot sent everyone screaming, and both Vasu as well as Desi swore they had nothing to do with it, but the two did work together to hide a stray dog under the teacher's table. The teacher ran from the classroom, with a barking down following close behind. 

Year 3: The Grand Finale

By the time they reached Class 10, Vasu and Desi were practically legends at Vasant Vihar High School. The two had lobbed fruits into the vice principle's balcony over the summer, causing a stink of rotting fruits that never really went away. Their pranks had become a sort of tradition, eagerly anticipated by their classmates. However, their antics were reaching a climax. One day, Desi filled Vasu's backpack with rubber snakes, causing him to leap up in fright and knock over several desks. Not one to be outdone, Vasu orchestrated a prank involving the entire class.

For the final prank of the year, Vasu convinced their classmates to participate in a flash mob during a boring history lecture. Just as Mr. Patel was about to start a monotonous recount of ancient civilizations, the entire class stood up and began dancing to a popular song. Mr. Patel was so bewildered that he didn't even try to stop them.

Then began the tradition of shouting out Aiwa. As soon as anyone shouted Aiwa, the whole class had to say Aiwa. This random shouting of Aiwa spread to other classrooms as well, and soon you could hear multiple classrooms going Aiwa Aiwa Aiwa if you stood in the classroom. 

Vasu and Desi, with the help of their classmates, orchestrated a grand prank involving glitter. They rigged the ceiling fans in their classroom with bags of glitter, carefully taping them so that they would only burst when the fans were turned on. During the first period, as soon as the teacher switched on the fans, glitter rained down, covering everyone and everything in a sparkling mess. The entire class was in on the prank, ensuring that no one revealed the masterminds behind it. For the rest of the year, the bags of the 9C kids could be recognized by the glitter still clinging to them. 

One weekend, Vasu and Desi, along with a few trusted friends, managed to swap the contents of their classroom with the small chairs and desks of Jr Kg two wings away. The operation was conducted on Friday evening, even as the whole school was clearing out. Desks, chairs, posters, and even the teacher's supplies were meticulously moved. When Monday morning came, the confusion among both classes and their teachers was priceless. Even the teachers and staff were laughing to see the big students of 10 std sitting in the small chairs and tables meant for the youngest students in the school. 

One day, with the help of several artistic classmates, Vasu and Desi managed to cover the entire chalkboard with a massive, intricate drawing of their history teacher, Ms. Dixit, depicted as a superhero. The artwork, done during a free period when the classroom was empty, was so well done that Ms. Dixit couldn’t help but laugh, despite trying to maintain her stern demeanor. The class took credit for the drawing, but no one revealed who had initiated the idea.

In another prank, following the success of the glitter explosion the two conspired to put sneezing powder in the fans, carefully taping and positioning packets, and testing to ensure that the sneezing powder is distributed slowly through a steady trickle. After the lunch break, 9C settled in, and half an hour later the teacher, the principal and the nanny were puzzled and afraid looking at a classroom full of coughing kids. 

This final prank got the entire class in trouble, with all of them receiving a stern lecture from the principal. However, the bond between Vasu, Desi, and their classmates only grew stronger. They decided to come up with a fun and positive prank to finish off their time at school. 

On the last day of school, Vasu and Desi, along with their classmates, planned a surprise party for their class teacher. During the break, they decorated the classroom with balloons, streamers, and a banner that read, "Thank You for Putting Up with Us!" When the teacher returned, the entire class jumped out and yelled, "Surprise!" The teacher was initially shocked but soon smiled, appreciating the effort and the sentiment behind the prank. It was a heartwarming end to the year and a perfect way to cap off their pranking days. Despite the chaos and occasional trouble, their pranks had brought the class together, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Epilogue: A Legacy of Laughter

Years later, as Vasu and Desi looked back on their time at Vasant Vihar High School, they couldn't help but smile. Their pranks, though often disruptive, had filled their school years with laughter and camaraderie. They had become a legendary duo, and their mischievous spirit had left an indelible mark on Vasant Vihar High School. Their classmates, now spread out across various paths in life, often reminisced about the good old days and the pranks that had made school so unforgettable. Despite how mischievous they were, whenever they met the teachers, they all said one thing, that the two were angels compared to the kids who went to school today.
