Just After I finish my homework my phone buzzes. It's not a text from Kian this time, but a text from Olivia. "Wanna come to Mary's party? There will be alcohol😏😉!" I look at the text and laugh. Then quickly type back, "sorry can't come. I'm underage!" Olivia responds very quickly, "yeah so? I'm underage too?! Come on! It'll be fun."
I take a good moment to decide what I'm going to do.
Option A) I can sneak out and go to the party, and risk being caught by my parents. Or worse. The police.
Option B) tell Olivia that I'm not in the mood to party. And go to bed.
"But it would be fun to go partying. I mean last time I snuck out I didn't get caught." The little imaginary devil on my shoulder says. But the angel is trying to convince me not to go. "But what if you do get caught? Will your actions be worth the consequences?" The two imaginary creatures bicker back and forth in my head till I make up my mind. "Il just go. Anyway it'll be good practice for tomorrow night?!" I say in my head. I text Olivia back, "k I'm coming! What time are you coming to pick me up?"I ask her. She responds, "il be their at 11:30." She says. "Ok, pick me up at the gate to my backyard. My address is 1265 la cross drive. See ya!" I text back. Then I go over to my walk in closest and go inside to try to find my dress rack. "There it is!" I whisper quietly. I go over to the rack and look through my dresses. "I could where this?" I say as I pull out a nice small light blue and white polka-dot dress. It has a sweetheart neckline, and flares out at the waist and cuts off a fair distance before my knees. I try it on and I look
Fabulous. I put on my favourite white heels on, and curl my hair. For my makeup, I do a more natural look on my eyes. But do a bold bright red lip. (Picture above^)"Now the hard part." I think to myself. I have to actually get out of the house without someone noticing. "The window!" I remind myself. When my parents had the house built, the designer asked me if I wanted to design my own bedroom. Of course I said yes. And one of the features that I had built for this situation is a window that opens right onto the roof. But In addition to that I had them make a hidden ladder down to the ground, also known as the chimney. I had them make the chimney have a couple bricks stick out the side all the way to the ground to make the bricks like a ladder, So I can climb down. It was an amazing idea on my part! I'm thankful at times like this that I have it. I tip-toe over to my window. I carefully open my window and listen for any noise coming from the other bedrooms. I super carefully and stealthily crawl out my window. I gently close my window behind me. I relax and take a couple deep breaths. Then I take off my heels ,I drop them off the roof onto some pillows on the deck furniture. they make a little *plop* when they hit the pillows. I proceeded to oh so nicely walk over to the chimney. I place my right hand and on the first brick ,then put down my left foot on the brick diagonally down from my hand. I place the rest of my limbs on the leftover bricks. I slowly start climbing down the brick ladder. Carful to not flash people that might be watching. When I finally reach the ground I text Olivia. "K I'm here in the back." I hit send and go to put back on my heels. I manage to slip the heels back on and not make too Much noise. Then I hear my mom go down the stairs to the kitchen. I realize that I'm standing right in front of the kitchen window that looks into the backyard. I see my mom come down the stairs. I duck down and poke up my head. She's making a glass of tea. I duck back down. After a minute of not hearing anything from the kitchen I look back up. And I can tell that my mom cached a glimpse of me. I can hear her walk towards the door to the backyard. Thinking fast I crawl over to behind the chair , just as she manages to open the door. "Alexandra? Are you out here?!" I don't answer and I hear her walk in my direction. I hold my breath and don't dare to move a muscle. She stops inches from the chair and looks around for a good minute or two. "Must be seeing things." She mumbles and walks back into the house and locks the door behind her. "That was way to close." I think in my head. I see the lights go off in the kitchen , so I slowly get up and peek through the window. "She's gone." I go tip-toe over to the gate in the backyard and climb over the gate. I wait for Olivia's car. She shows up at 12:24. I carefully crack open the door and slide in, and lock the door behind me. "Your 40 minutes late!" I mumble to Olivia. "Sorry had a problem getting out of the house." She mumbles back. I tell her about how my mom almost found me hiding behind a chair in the backyard on the drive there. "No way? She almost caught you!" She says. We arrive at the house. It has purple and yellow lights coming from out the windows. I can hear the music from inside the car. It's talking body by that weird chick that I don't know what her name is. We both undo our seat belts and open up our doors. "I HAVE to be back at 2:00 ok?" I say as we walk to the door. "Fine." She says as she knocks on the door. Some really hot guy opens the door, hi Taylor! "OMFG." I say to myself completely ignoring Taylor. Because I see something that disturbs me. I turn away, not wanting to believe my eyes.
