As she was trying to figure out all of this, she got startled by a knock at the bedroom door. She turned towards it with wide eyes, wondering if she should open it or not.
"Shit," she said, then covered her mouth. She was cursing now too?
As if on automatic, as if this was something she'd done many times before, she grabbed a bag and ran to the window, throwing it open and climbing down the trellis to the ground. She didn't stop till she was several blocks away, and paused, looking at herself.
She'd apparently fallen asleep fully dressed in...well, someone's clothes. But whoever she was avoiding, clearly she'd been prepared.
But where would she go? She couldn't let people see her like this, could she? A part of her brain asked her why she cared what other people thought. She headed off to school, wondering if she'd get some answers there.
