CHAPTER 24: HOW TO BE A BADASS: 101

As soon as I put the phone down, I began grinning. I could feel the adrenaline begin to surge through my body. I'd never openly defied my parents so abruptly before, and frankly, I was a little terrified. What if they came and checked on me before they went to sleep? What would they do if I wasn't there? Would they freak out and call a search party?

Pausing, I grabbed a sheet of paper off my desk and hurriedly explained that I'd gone out with Stacie, which I knew was wrong, but please don't worry. Then I leaned out into the hallway and shouted downstairs that I was going to bed.

However as soon as I'd shut the door I pulled off my sweats and ratty tee and dressed into my slinkiest, sluttiest dress. It was cerulean blue, and entirely sequined, which wasn't a great feat, considering how short and tight it was. Naturally, I matched it with some midnight blue platformed heels and quickly dry shampooed my hair into a wild, sassy curls.

Because if you're going to sneak into a frat party, you might as well go the whole way and rock the wannabe stripper look.

I applied my makeup a little heavier than usual, dusting smoky greys across my lids and a deep cherry on my lips. Glancing in the mirror I had just enough time to sweep some bronzer along my cheekbones before Stacie rang me again.

'Babe, I'm about three houses down from you?'

'Okay, give me a couple of minutes, I'm gonna have to sneak out.' I whispered.

After she hung up, I shut my bedroom door tight and switched out the light. I slid a pillow underneath the duvet to at least give an impression of me, under the covers.

Then, taking a deep breath I eased opened the window as quietly as I possibly could and leaned out into the night. It was warm still, and the light breeze tickled my shoulders, where my hair brushed against them.

The entire neighbourhood was illuminated by streetlights but I couldn't see Stacie's BMW. Rolling my eyes at my pure stupidity, I chucked my stilettos down to the ground where they lay, tangled in some shrubbery.

Next I slid onto the window ledge, wishing too late I lived on the first floor. Assessing the situation I slid around and clinging to the drainpipe I began to descend down.

Thankfully I reach the bottom without any major issues. I quickly slip on my stilettos and creep out the driveway. Stacie waits for me, a little way away looking absolutely ravishing in white pants and a matching crop top. The only colour comes from her tomato red lipstick and matching Louboutins.

She grins and winks at me as I climb into the car. 'What took you so long babe?'

'Had to sneak out didn't I?' I breathe, still slightly out of breath. 'Now drive!'

She puts her foot on the gas and we purr off towards town.

'Here,' she hands me her cell, 'put some music on!'

I switch on her dance playlist and turn up the volume to max.

'Woooo!' Stacie yells out, 'we're going to a partayyy!'
