Yeshy, but it was only a joke. X3
Mari thinks it was last last last year, Mari's guy friends were mad at Mari cause she pulled this super~duper embarassing prank at them [and I seriously don't remember what it was. o.o;] so they wanted to get back at me. They were thinking of what would shock the heck out of me, and they were left with the choice of "make Mari scared' or 'make Mari die' X3 [that plan was hide-all-Mari's-candies and they all know that I can't live without candy]. They decided the second option was too harsh, so they went with the first one.
Anyway, after they planned it, one of them came up to me after football practice and abryptly blurted out "I lovve you! Very very much!" Sure, I was a bit shocked, but then I saw one of them oh-so close to cracking up. I just assumed they were playing, so I went along, and said "Really? <3 Yay~! I really really liked you too!"
So, yeah, in the end, teh Mari was the one who scared them. X33
