Save Me From Myself

Chapter 2

"Come on!" Jasper dragged me through the hall of the school. "I can't wait to do this! Hopefully we don't get into to much trouble." She smiled and stopped at our worst teachers classroom.
"I can't believe I talked you into this. I can't even believe we're doing this." I grabbed a bobby pin out of Jaspers hair. Her bangs fell in front of her eyes. She laughed as I started to pick the lock. It was after school hours and we were about to get into possibly some serious trouble.
"Come on, Alex." She looked around the hallway making sure everything was clear.
"Got it." I smiled and turned the door knob entering the room. Jasper pushed passed me.
"Oh. What to do first." It was dark but I could still see the smirk on her face. I walked over to the desk and sat down, putting my feet up on the desk and leaning back in the chair.
"I don't know... Maybe we could block out the security cameras, genius." I laughed and got up, grabbing my bag and pulling out some silly string. I handed a can of it to Jasper.
"Ok you get those corners and I'll get these." I walked along the wall and then angled myself enough to still be hidden and sprayed the silly string onto the cameras. Jasper did the same.
"Ok what now?" Jasper walked over to me. She put the empty can into my bag and started digging through it for, most likely, her sharpies. She dug whatever it was out of the bag and handed me one.
"Here let's start etching-" she was cut off by loud footsteps coming from the hall.
I signaled her to turn off the lights and hide. I ran and quietly shut the door and then hiding in the cabinet. Jasper fit herself under the desk.
The security guard turned the door knob and walked in. I saw some of the light from the flashlight shine through the crack in the cabinet.
"Alex and Jasper, if you're in here you need to get out now. Or face the consequences." His voice boomed through the empty room. We've cause so much trouble that he knows most of it is caused by us. One time we stayed after school and put random duct tape colors and silly string on our school statue. We ended up getting suspended for three days, but it really wasn't a punishment. When we returned, we got suspended about a week later for skipping all our classes and getting caught each time.
"Come one! Out! Now! We know you're in here. Alex you're the only girl in this school who can pick locks. Get out now." The other guard shouted. I exited the cabinet and Jasper came out from under the desk. She looked up at me with that look of she had a plan and she was gonna use it. I glanced at her then at the door.
"Come on." Jasper starts to whine. "We just wanted to have some fun..."
"Well this "fun" is against rules." One of the guards said. Jasper held her hand by her side counting with her fingers. One, two, three.
"Run. Alex come on!" Jasper bolted out the door and I ran after her. We ran through the school laughing. We ran down the stairs and out the front doors.
Once we got home, we were out of breath but still laughing at how we got away so fast. We went up to the roof of the apartments and laid in the gravel. The stars we starting to appear.
"Remember when we first met up here three years ago?" Jasper asked playing with her sleeve.
"Yeah, the night that saved both of our lives." I smiled. I got up and sat at the edge of the roof. It's so far up and now it's hard to believe I ever wanted to die. Jasper came and sat by me. We both changed a lot but we're still the same person. Looked a little different but still had the same thoughts as three years ago. Best friends from the moment we aged each other.
"It's weird." I looked at the ground below us.
"What's weird?" Jasper cocked her head to the side.
"That we wanted to die but we didn't. Now we're so different. But the same. You know. We still wear a lot of black but add hints of color. Our attitudes are the same but more happy."
"It's because each color in our clothing stands for our happiness. Every hint of color stands for every time we have been happy." She laughed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I laughed with her.
"I don't know. Just something random."
