Please tell me if there are any grammatical mistakes or spelling errors! I'm so excited to post the first chapter of 'Yours Truly'! So without further adieu..

"It wasn't my fault!" I lied, throwing my hands up in surrender. "It was Ruby's idea! I swear!" I add on, stretching the truth a little further.

"Was not!" cried Ruby. After a few moments of silence, she looks at me and gives me the classic Ruby smile, which was infamously embedded with mischief and bad ideas.

I shoot her a glowering look that screamed "Don't do it, not this time." But as usual, she decided to overlook my suggestion. As Professor Fontaine opens his mouth to declare our punishment, which was bound to be extensive detention, Ruby lets out a musically specific whistle. The whistle, which lasted about 5 long seconds with beats in between, lit up the joyless, gelid office. Professor Fontaine stops cold, and paints a very confused expression across his face. I glance over to the sound's origin to see Ruby staring at the broken window, as if she was waiting for something to appear.

"Ah, I've missed that whistle." I admitted. Professor Fontaine, who is still clueless, rises from his chair and moves towards the moonlit window slowly, cautiously. As he does so, a faint noise starts to grow louder. As the Professor reached the window, a singular broom shot through it, causing him to bend backwards, avoiding being split in half. 

Ruby and I exchange concerned glances. It didn't work. Before I could voice my concern, another broom shot in, floating parallel to the first. Ruby and I both glanced relievedly at each other before making our way to the brooms. Professor Fontaine was catching on at this point. 

"Adelaide! Ruby! Don't you dare!" he hollered as we mount our brooms. "This will be the last time you'll ever see the inside of this school!" 

Following his declaration, Ruby and I looked at each other, mentally surveying our options. After a moment, we both looked out the window, towards the moon, and back to each other. 

"See you later, Fontaine!" Ruby exclaimed as we both soared through the still-broken window. 

"POOR CHOICE, GIRLS!! DON'T EVEN BOTHER COMING BACK!!" Fontaine called out in response.

With that, we were out of there. Professor wasn't being serious, right? I mean, he wouldn't permanently expel us for this. He knows us, and we know him. This isn't the first time we've pulled this, the whole "broom saving our behinds from being in deep trouble" act. The three of us have quite a long history with ending up in this situation, 3 years to be exact. So what's different about this one?

We flew our brooms into one of the windows of our dorm, which was purposefully left open, since this of course was pre-conceived. After we both laughed and discussed how worried we were about my broom being late, we decided it was time to go to bed. Plus, I have a big potions test tomorrow, so I definitely need my rest. After we exchanged goodnights, I changed into my deep red silk pajama set with "WAMPUS" plastered on the side, Ruby and I's house written on it, did my hygiene routine, and hopped into bed. Another day, another adventure.

------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning was nothing short of ordinary. Except this time, I woke up to the feeling of clothes being flung on top of me. I open my eyes and turn over to see Ruby bent over her trunk next to her bed, rummaging and frantically looking for something.
