Sunday night the college ministry had a bonfire and some pumpkin carving went down. Bryan and Wegbert both carved pumpkins. Wegbert's was actually quite nice. When it came time to leave, while I was helping Lindsay unload the golf cart, the guys stuck their pumpkins in Lindsay's car. She really must learn to lock it! I don't know how but Wegbert's pumpkin made its way back into J's car, which J, Bryan, and Wegbert all rode in.
I forgot part of my costume back where the Bonfire was so J and his carload of friends drove me back to the bonfire site to get it. When we got back to the parking lot I got in my car. Bryan hopped out of J's car and tried to put the pumpkin in mine. Luckily, I managed to lock the doors in the nick of time. Then J told Bryan to put it on top of my car, and he did! I drove a few feet hoping it would fall off, but it didn't. Bryan hopped in J's car, and they drove off. The unwanted pumpkin is now in my possession.
I start scheming. That night I text J asking if he knows Bryan's apartment number. He doesn't know it and you have to have a key card to get in anyway. I have another friend who lives in that complex and asked her if she could let me in Monday afternoon. She wasn't sure if she would be able to or not. If she could though J and I were going to meet up and then find Bryan's car in the apartment parking garage and leave the pumpkin on it. I was doubtful my friend would be able to let us in. So I began forming a backup plan.
The backup plan was to leave it in front of J's apartment. It's also a gated apartment complex. I messaged one of his roommates asking if it'd be possible for him to let me in. He text me back on Monday saying sure, if I could come between 3:00 and 3:15. However, I am in class at that time.
The new plan was to find someone, anyone, who could let me in to either complex. I posted in our COMD facebook group asking if anyone lived in either of the two complexes. One girl responded that she did. I asked if she would let me in. I just needed to put a pumpkin in front of someone's door. She said no problem. While waiting for her to come back down and let me in after she parked I actually had multiple opportunities that I could have gotten in but I didn't want her to wonder where I went. So, she let me in and the pumpkin was placed in front of J's apartment.
I get a text from J later. "How rude. Ask me to help you put it at bryans apt then put it at mine..." About 20 minutes later he sends a picture of the pumpkin on Bryan's car. One of his roommates was going over there so he went with him. He got in no problem and found Bryan's car real quick.
I knew Bryan would blame me. I was worried about it rotting on his car and possibly ruining the paint. It didn't do that though. Tonight at Fall Fest, Bryan came and accused me of putting the pumpkin on his car. I told him I did no such thing. J admitted to it. Bryan got a ticket though! $50! He saw the pumpkin on his car one day and didn't pick it up then. So the next day apparently it got smashed on the ground and was considered trash so he got a ticket! J and I are going to each put money towards paying the ticket.
Poor pumpkin.
