Grey.....

You back up and fix the blind you had been looking through. Who was that? You consider asking Nihachu or Puffy, but decide against it. You grab your bags and head back up the stairs. When you emerge, Puffy asks, "What took you so long?" You reply with, "I was looking around." She nods and returns to what she was doing. You set your bags down on your bed and begin to unpack. Once you were finished, you topped it off with your alarm clock on the wooden nightstand. It read 5:50. You turn to Puffy and Nihachu. "What do you guys do around here if you stay inside all day?"

"We usually sneak out the bathroom window where no one dares put a camera." You rolled your eyes and grabbed your book, then walked back over to their bed and sat down to read in peace with them. 

Suddenly, you were startled out of your reading trance by a loud alarm sound. Nihachu and Puffy just put their hands over their ears. You did the same, but it didn't block out the sound completely. You glance wide-eyed at them, and Nihachu put a hand on your shoulder, assuring you it was okay. You calm down a bit, and eventually, it stopped. 

"What was that?" You ask hoarsely. "Curfew. Lights out at 6:40," Puffy replies blandly. I turned back and glanced at my alarm clock. It was only 6:30, you thought. How weird. You blink at them. "We usually turn out the lights early so that the minders get the thought that we're asleep," Nihachu whispered to you. "So does everyone else." I nod and scramble over to my lamp and pull the chain. Puffy and Nihachu do the same, Puffy going back to her own bed. Then you were plunged into darkness, and you hear one of the girls whisper, "We'll wake you up at 12:30."

"Okay." You change into pj's and get under the sheets, pulling them over your head so that only from your nose up was visible. You liked it that way. Then you let yourself drift to sleep.

You were startled awake by a loud thump. You shot up into a sitting position, blinking and adjusting to the dark. Another thump, and you glanced towards the sound. The window? Another thump. What the hell, you though as you got up out of bed and turn to Puffy and Nihachu. They were still fast asleep, oblivious. You guess they didn't get much sleep. Another thump. You glance at the clock. It read 12:01. You sighed and listened for another thump. Surely enough, it came from the window. 

You scramble open and try to open it, but there's a latch somewhere on it. You just need to find it. Thump. Another rock. You flinch and growl low inside your throat, annoyed. You furiously grope around, and finally, you found the latch. You flip it and throw open the window. However much you stared, you couldn't see a thing. Then, you see a dark figure dart across your field of vision, and you flinch back. Then it appears again, standing still, on the ground. 

"Who's there?" you demand in a low whisper. The figure runs over to the overhang above the lower floor window and begins to pull itself up. You stumble back, almost falling off of the bed. You would have screamed, but the figure whispered a quiet "Hey!" and put a finger to its mouth. Then it beckoned for you to come closer. Hesitantly, you crawl back over to the window. As you do, you get a closer look at the mystery person. Dirty blonde/ brown hair lay in messy strands falling over a split black and white mask and sunglasses. Based off of his hair cut, it could be a boy... but you weren't going to jump to conclusions. Then mystery "guy" spoke again.
