3 AM

Embry and I walked into Sam's house smelling the wonderful food Emily was cooking. Jake was on the couch watching TV with Seth. Leah was in the kitchen helping Emily. Jake informed Embry and me that Sam took Paul and Jared out to patrol one more time before we ate.

Emily walked into the room as Embry and I sat down on the floor in front of the couch. She asked Jake if he'd run to the store and grab something she needed. Jake made a funny face and told her she better go because he was a guy and would probably grab the wrong thing. She agreed. Jake then volunteered me to drive her to the store but Leah insisted saying something about not wanting to be alone with a bunch of boys.

As soon as they were out the door and we heard the car leave Jake jumped up smiling. "Lets get to work" I remember him saying. He picked up a backpack I hadn't noticed sitting on the floor. he unzipped the bag and threw a roll of clear packing tape at Embry. He told Embry to go tape down the button on all the phones. So when you pick up the phone it doesn't answer and it keeps ringing. Then he proceeded to throw alarm clocks at Seth and me. He told us to set them up with the current time and set the alarm for 3 AM. Also that we needed to turn on the alarm and hide the alarm clocks.

We all went to work. Embry did an awesome tape job with the clear packing tape. Jake, Seth, and I placed alarm clocks through the house. Jake hid one under Sam and Emily's bed and under the sink in the bathroom. I hid mine behind the microwave. Seth hid his under the couch. Jake went so far as to turn their own alarm clocks for 3 AM.

Once we were done the four of us sat down on the couch and started watching TV again. Not even five minutes later Paul, Jared, and Sam walked in. Sam made Seth get up to give him his seat. Probably two minutes later Emily and Leah walked in carrying some bags of stuff in. Sam was up in an instant grabbing the bags from Emily's hands carrying them to the kitchen.

After we ate dinner we all hung around goofing off and talking. We played a few games of poker. I managed to win one round. Once it got late Sam kicked us out saying we needed to go to bed so we'd be ready for patrol in the morning so we all scattered going home.

At 2 in the morning Jake, Paul, Jared, Seth, Leah, Embry, and I all met up at our hang out spot in the woods. Jake filled Leah, Paul, and Jared in. We were all excited! This prank was going to be epic. Jake explained our positions and what we were supost to do. At 2:45 we all headed to our posts. Jared and Seth were at the local gas station next to the pay phone. Paul was at the back door with Leah. Embry and I were at the front door. Jake was in his car smiling ear to ear. We were all so excited and I was even a bit nervous. Sam was going to kill us all. We all watched the time on our cell phones watching the time pass slowly til 3 o'clock hit.

The chaos began. The alarm clocks were going off everywhere. The phones started to ring. Jake was honking his horn. The rest of us were banging like crazy people on the doors as we yelled for them to answer the phone.

It didn't take long for every light in the house to be on. Not even a minute later Sam opened the front door glairing at Embry and I. Jake waved from the car with a smile on his face as Sam looked his way. Sam was so mad and it was funny.

We all got in trouble later. We got a long lecture on why we should never do that again. He smiled at the end of the lecture so we all knew we were off the hook. All i could think about was how poor sweet Emily got pulled into this mess simply for the fact that she was living with Sam.

The next day we were all hanging out at Sam's after lunch when the alarm clock under the couch started going off. We all started to laugh. Embry, Jake, and I looked at Seth laughing because that was his one and only alarm clock and he messed it up. He would be the one to set his clock for 3 PM rather than 3 AM.

We have yet to let Seth live that down. Every time we set a time for something we stress AM and PM to him. Every so offten we ask if we should tell him time in Military Time or 24 hour time so he wont have to worry about AM and PM. It was a great night even if Seth messed his part up.
