Secret Life

Sneaking out

I looked around wondering where to go, I had no idea. Before I changed into this other girl I had already had my own life, which didn't consist of school. I was kinda a hero, but I liked to work alone. Of course by work, I mean save people and try to stay alive. So the rest of the school day I just stayed in one place that none of the teachers, staff or students could find me in. After the school bell rang I walked out to where I was dropped off. The dad came and picked me up, along with the 16 year old girl. He drove us home and dropped us off. "Do you have any homework?" The girl asked me. "No." I said. "Lucky, I have math and an English essay to write." "Good luck with that." I walked upstairs to my room and shut the door. Finally I could relax and be left alone. All I had to do was wait till night, again. I stayed in my room until I heard someone yell, "dinner time!" I went downstairs and saw everyone sitting down, I sat down in the empty seat next to the 16 year old girl. "How was your day, Katelyn?" The mother asked. "It was ok." The 16 year old girl said. Her name must be Katelyn. "How was your day Rose?" The mother looked at me, I guess my name is Rose. "It was good." I said. Dinner went really slow, I wasn't used to eating with a family. Before I turned into this girl I never had a family. My mom died trying to escape a fire and my dad died trying to save my life, so I'm used to being alone. Soon we finished eating and I went to my room. I waited, again, for everyone to fall asleep. When I didn't hear anyone I went to the front door and tried to open it, but it didn't open. It was locked, so I went upstairs and opened my window. It was a nice night out, the stars were shinning bright and there was a full moon out. I put on a black hoodie and jumped out the window, but what I didn't realize was that someone saw me jump out the window. It was Katelyn, and I had no idea. I walked to the road that I went to last night, and still no one was there. I bent down to look for any signs of those guys, but I didn't find anything. Then an idea struck me in the head. I snapped and a laptop appeared, I typed in my code and hacked into the cameras around the city. I watched hours of camera footage until I saw three guys in black suits walk into an old storage facility. I thought that was suspicious, so I tried to find cameras inside the storage facility  but there were no cameras in the facility. Then I looked at the time on my laptop and it said 6:23. "Oh no!" I said as I snapped and the laptop disappeared. I ran as fast as I could back to the house. I climbed through the window and shut it when I heard someone talk to me. "Where were you last night?" I turned around to see Katelyn standing there with her arms crossed. "I uh, went out to visit a friend." I said trying to come up with a believable story. "No you didn't. None of your friends are ever up this late or out this late. So tell me the truth where were you? If you tell me I won't tell mom and dad that you were gone last night." Katelyn said to me in a serious tone. "How do I know you haven't told them already?" I said to her. "I haven't, if I did they would have called the police which means the police would be here right now if I did." She had a good point. I sighed before answering. "I went to go get something." "And what did you go to get?" She asked me. "It doesn't matter now, I didn't get it." I tried to avoid the subject. "It does matter, but since you won't tell me I guess there's no use arguing over it." Katelyn walked out of my room pretty mad.

The next few days went by very slow. I went out every night to find those guys and Katelyn never told anyone about me sneaking out at night. I decided not to go out one night just so I could relax. So to pass the time I turned on the tv to watch the news. They were talking about how the hood and the red streak stopped a group of people from killing innocent people. Then an idea struck me. I would get the hood and the red streaks help to find the guys that chased after me, but one question remained. How was I going to get them to help me?
