**The Prank**

Lamont was known for his confidence and outgoing personality. He was the life of the party, always ready with a joke or a dance move to get the crowd going. His friend Nathan, on the other hand, was a bit more reserved, but Lamont had always considered him a trusted friend. Nathan had a mischievous streak, but Lamont had never thought of him as manipulative. That was, until the day Nathan convinced him to help with a costume for an upcoming party. "Come on, Lamont, it'll be fun," Nathan said, holding up a bright pink dress. "I need someone to try this on and make sure it fits right." Lamont hesitated, looking at the dress with skepticism. "I don't know, Nathan. That's not really my style." "Ah, come on," Nathan persisted. "It's just for a few minutes. And I promise, it'll be hilarious. We can take some pictures and have a laugh." Lamont eventually agreed, mostly because he didn't want to hurt Nathan's feelings. He took the dress and headed to the bathroom to try it on. Nathan handed him a pair of high heels as well. "Put these on too," Nathan said, grinning. "We want to get the full effect." Lamont felt a twinge of embarrassment as he put on the dress and heels. He looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh. He felt ridiculous, but also kind of liberated. He had never tried on women's clothes before, and it was a strange but interesting experience. As he came out of the bathroom, Nathan was waiting with his phone, camera at the ready. "Okay, let's take some pictures," he said, snapping photos of Lamont from different angles. Lamont started to feel a little uneasy, but Nathan seemed so enthusiastic that he pushed the feeling aside. It wasn't until Nathan asked him to strike a pose in the living room that Lamont started to feel really uncomfortable. As he posed, Nathan took more pictures, telling him to "work the camera" and "show some attitude." Lamont started to feel like he was in a real fashion shoot, and it was starting to get on his nerves. But he didn't realize the true extent of Nathan's plan until later, when Nathan started to act strange. He was being secretive and evasive, and Lamont had a feeling that something was off. It wasn't until they were hanging out at Nathan's place a few days later that Lamont started to suspect the truth. Nathan was acting really smug, and Lamont couldn't help but wonder what he was hiding. "What's going on, Nathan?" Lamont asked, feeling a sense of unease. "You're acting really weird." Nathan just smiled, a sly look in his eyes. "Nothing's going on, Lamont. I just have a little surprise up my sleeve." Lamont's heart started to sink as he realized that Nathan had been planning something all along. He just didn't know what.
