The Switch

We leaned up against the wall, and I had no idea what was coming next.

“Ok, now stand.” Miranda led by example.

The twins and I stood. Miranda and the twins seemed to be suppressing giggles. I didn’t like it. I looked around the room, hoping that none of my other friends were watching as I made a fool of myself, by following Miranda’s commands in her strange game.

“Now step to your left.” Miranda instructed.

We all stepped to the left. I looked around the room again. It appeared that no one was watching. I was relieved. Everyone was chatting instead of seeing Miranda, the twins, and me do these silly moves.

“Lean forward slightly and arch your back against the wall,” Miranda said.

All four of us did it. Miranda and the twins immediately started laughing as the room went dark. They had tricked me into leaning against the light switch. My face flushed and I turned the light back on. I felt embarrassed, but no one seemed to care that the light went off for half a second. I realized that it was a pretty good prank, so I laughed too.
