After reconciling with her father, Samantha had a new target for her anger, Dr. Ashworth. He had been prejudiced against her even before he had blamed her for the graffiti. She decided to get even with him by playing pranks carefully crafted to leave no evidence that she had done them. The first one came about serendipitously.<\/em><\/strong>I got up early Monday morning and went for a run. The marathon was coming up soon, and I needed to increase my mileage. The easiest way to do that was to run twice a day. I added the run to my morning schedule.<\/p>\n

—#—<\/p>\n

A cold front was moving in, pushing up more storm clouds ahead of it. I kept watching them as I ran, and they got increasingly ominous. When I saw that first lightning strike, I decided it was time to head for home. When the thunder took only four seconds\u2014less than a mile\u2014to reach me, I decided a shortcut was in order.<\/p>\n

The street I turned down already had trash cans out for pickup. One of the houses had a small pile of odds and ends separate from the trash. The sign said, \u201cHelp Yourself.\u201d I don\u2019t know why \u2013 I was in a hurry after all, but I stopped to take a quick look.<\/p>\n

There it was, the answer to my first prank, an old clock radio. I put it under my arm and started running again. I didn\u2019t immediately know what I was going to do with it, but ideas hit me as I ran for home.<\/p>\n

The one that eventually got my vote was more complex than I would have liked, but it would also be the most public. Principal Ashworth took pride in announcing the home football games. I wondered how he\u2019d react to being preempted by a rock and roll radio station. I figured the teams would continue playing without too much distraction, but Ashworth would be flabbergasted. And I knew how I was going to set it up.<\/p>\n

First, I had to gain access to the booth. I had the feeling it shouldn\u2019t be too hard. The hard part would be doing it without being noticed. Anyone having access to it would be suspect after the game.<\/p>\n

I knew Coach Ford had access because she used the public address to run pep rallies. I guess she figured the amplification would make up for any lack of attendance. I went after her in a roundabout way so she wouldn\u2019t know what my goal was.<\/p>\n

I caught up with her after girls basketball practice in the gym.<\/p>\n

As I walked up, she noticed me. \u201cSamantha, how\u2019s your marathon training coming?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Ford. Great. I\u2019m doing nine miles a day during the week, and I\u2019ll do a fifteen miler on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019s your time?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSix thirty five.\u201d<\/p>\n

She smiled. \u201cNice. With time like that you can qualify for the Boston Marathon when you turn eighteen.\u201d<\/p>\n

I brought up my purpose for approaching her. \u201cI was wondering if you needed any help in the broadcast booth for the rally Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

She brightened. \u201cWell, I could use a runner. Some things I just can\u2019t say on the public address.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be happy to help. What time would you need me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rally starts right after school lets out. If you could pick up the keys from the principal\u2019s office, I could come directly out and help with the set up.\u201d<\/p>\n

That had been too easy. Of course, it would connect me with the broadcast booth, but we didn\u2019t have a home game for another week, and I\u2019d have Coach Ford to vouch for me for this week. The only question was how could I get a copy of the key?<\/p>\n

I fretted over that for the next couple of days. In the meantime I rewired the clock radio. Dad hat a great workspace set up in the garage. I\u2019d used the soldering iron and other electricians tools for several projects in the past, so I had a good idea of what I was doing. I soldered an audio cable onto the terminals for the wire to the radio speaker and put an RCA plug on the end of it. I planned to clip the speaker wires when I had everything hooked up to the amplifier in the booth. That way it would be harder to trace where the signal was coming from and shut it off.<\/p>\n

When I had the wiring completed, I replaced the backup power battery and tested the alarm clock function with a local rock station tuned in. Everything worked as I wanted. I still had several problems to work out, but I was confident I could.<\/p>\n

By Friday afternoon I had figured out the key problem. It would take some work as I later found out. I picked up the key from the principal\u2019s office. Ms. Farrow eyed me suspiciously when I told her Coach Ford wanted me to get it. She even made me sign for it. I stopped by the restroom on my way out to the athletic field and took several pictures of the key, making sure I got a straight on shot of its profile.<\/p>\n

I took a detour on my way home and went into a hardware store where I bought a blank key like the one for the broadcast booth. I also bought a bit for Dad\u2019s rotary tool.<\/p>\n

After dinner I set to work to make a duplicate key. I had made a template from one of my photos. I glued it on the blank and clamped it in Dad\u2019s heavy vise. Then I spent the next two hours painfully resisting the urge to rush as I cut away the excess metal. Then I carefully smoothed the rough edges.<\/p>\n

I held the finished key up close to the fluorescent light over the work bench and examined it. There were a couple of places where I had nicked the template. Hopefully the key would still work. I didn\u2019t want to go through this again. I was beat.<\/p>\n

The next Monday before I left school for home, I made my way to the booth. I kept looking over my shoulder to be sure no one was watching. The football squad was practicing on the field, and I had to cross open space to reach the booth. I tried to walk casually and look like I was watching the team because I admired what they doing. By the time I reached the booth I was fairly sure no one had even looked in my direction.<\/p>\n

The door to the booth was on the side away from the field. I took one last look around, and tried the key. I had to jiggle it a little to get it work, but I was in. The amplifier was on a shelf under the counter that ran along the front of the booth. I crawled under the counter.<\/p>\n

There was space enough behind the amplifier to place the clock radio. I\u2019d just have to turn off the digital display so it wouldn\u2019t attract attention. I pulled the amplifier forward to check the back. Yes! There were two empty input jacks. I checked the front. Each input jack had its own volume knob and a mute switch. So far so good. The electrical outlet was was several inches to the side of the amplifier. It had three open sockets, which meant that if someone wanted to plug something else in they would see the power cord to the radio. That was a chance I had to take.<\/p>\n

Voices! My heart thudded. Someone was walking by outside. I heard the doorknob turn. A voice said, \u201cWhoever was in here last forgot to lock up. We should check inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
