Someone wants to talk to the person who is going to win his pants

Being that yesterday was April Fool's Day and a few people wrote about their experiences with this said Prank Day I thought I'd share the worst prank played on me by my very best friend Melissa when we were 14 years old. It wasn't on April 1st but still a good prank nevertheless. We laugh about it now.

So I guess I have to admit something to go on with this story, I was a HUGE New Kids on the Block fan and I loved Donnie Wahlberg. Melissa loved Jonathan Knight. I had all of their posters plastered on my walls and on my ceilings. We were fans and crazy teenagers when it came to them.

One of the teen mags I think BOP was having this contest where you could win Donnie's pants that he signed and designed or something. Though I never actually entered the contest I got a phone call from someone from BOP magazine saying that I was the lucky winner. I mentioned to this person, but I didn't enter this contest and she quickly stated, yes but a friend did for you, knowing how much you loved Donnie. I being young and naive didn't think this was odd

So as any 14 year old girl would be, I was absolutely ecstatic, and freaking out. Then this woman goes on to say to me that there is a person here that would like to talk to the winner of the person who has won his pants. Well you can only imagine now that I am more then freaking out. I remember going into my mother's room hyperventilating, because I was going to be talking to none other then the love of my life who was going to talk to me and instantly fall in love with me DONNIE WAHLBERG!!! I remember pacing my room going Oh my god, oh my god. Thinking what do I say, how am I going to be all cool and sound older then I really am. My mother was telling me to calm down, the woman on the phone was asking me if I was ready. I tell this woman, ah okay. She says, "hold on a moment" I don't think I breathed for the next minute. She hands the phone to someone and I hear HI (not Donnie's voice, not even a man's voice) oh no I hear my best friends voice, or should I say EX Best friend. It's this high pitched, like GOTTCHA!!! HI. I literally screamed and threw my cordless phone across the room.

My mother runs in and says "what what happened?" Red in the face, I reply, "It-it was Melissa". Needless to say I didn't think it was that funny. It took me awhile to get over it, and I don't think I talked to her for a few days. But I got over it and then I find out that the woman pretending to be the person from BOP magazine was actually her mother, THANKS KATHY!!! What a cruel joke to play on a young girl in love with Donnie Wahlberg. But now 18 years later, I sit here remembering like it was yesterday laughing at myself as I write this because of the things we took so serious when we were younger and damn Melissa for getting me good. You know I don't ever think I repaid her for that prank. Maybe someday.
