The Sweetest Thing (2007)
“I figured I could do one of three things: sit in my room all day, have a big confrontation with Feb, or sneak out without her seeing me. There was no way I was going to do option number one, but another big fight didn’t sound so great either. My throat was still sore from yelling at her—and at the game—the night before. So I put on my silver Tretorns and opted for choice number three.
A few years ago, in a rare moment of parental concern, my dad got a bunch of nylon ladders so, in case of emerg...ency, we could climb out the second-story windows. I still had mine way in the back of my closet, under a bunch of old stuffed animals and feather boas I hadn’t played with in years. I pulled it out, hooked the ends to the metal rail around my little balcony, and climbed down into the yard. I was a little nervous, especially because I had to climb past the kitchen windows on the first floor, but no one was looking out and I managed to get down into the yard okay. From there it was just a question of hoisting myself over the little wall between SBB’s backyard and mine, which took about two seconds.MoreLess
