| nine; a plan gone wrong (part ii) |
5:32 pm.
It was time. Time to sneak into Dana's house.
Walking down the stairs slowly, I try not to make any noise since mom is always sleeping in the living room, watching TV. She always comes back from home early to sleep because she has the night shift job at the mall sometimes. She always complains how I never work in the winter but I hate winter jobs.
I honestly have no life.
The floorboard creaks against my footsteps as I try to get to the back door safely.
After big steps of nervousness, I finally got there. I quietly shut the door behind me and bolt out of the house, making it to the backyard next door.
I stuff my phone into my front pocket as I walk a couple more feet to the opposite side of my house.
My feet plopped against the dirty ground.
My thoughts were just, ewugh, as it made contact with this type of surface.
Her family has a huge garden, so the ground in the back of her house is sometimes muddy (especially since it rained heavily this morning) and dirty.
I stopped in the small pile of mud and look up at the window. I'm pretty sure this is the window to the room where Calum told me to be at.
I can't believe I have to sneak in through a window just to help him with something. He owes me big time for this one.
Before taking my first steps up, I look around my surroundings to make sure there isn't anyone around.
Or else they'll be like;
'LOOK SALLY! THERE'S A GIRL BURGLAR TRYING TO ROB THAT HOUSE! CALL THE COPS!'
'Sure thang Donald, but first lez beat da shizlets out of her tiny booty!'
Okay fine, maybe that scenario would most likely not happen...but you might not know when two people named Donald and Sally pop in outta nowhere with a llama.
The coast was clear.
I first grasp onto the railing at the edge and then boost myself up by placing my foot on the first stump of the house. I then start to make it up, while holding onto the tree branch that was sticking out at the side from the tree beside.
Moving my head to the side, I gulp, looking down to see how high up I am now. It's not that high but could be a pretty bad fall if I keep looking down. I don't even have a fear of heights but these branches don't look like they'll be able to hold my weight for that long.
I was so close to being at the window. So I grab onto another branch that was above and climb, stepping on another stump. Eventually, I got there.
I made it!
My elbows rest against the windowsill as I seek through it to see if anyone's there. Well I couldn't exactly see through the closed glass and curtains blocking a bit. There was also a glass of water near by.
So I cautiously move to the side inch by inch to the left to get a better gaze.
I squint and lean forward to find someone's back at a desk in there.
It's Calum! Thank god.
I bring my knuckles up and quietly knock against the glass.
"Open up." I hiss under my breath, as I tap on it.
Unfortunately, he doesn't hear and resumes nodding his head to the music from his headphones.
Oh my goodness, now how is supposed to hear me?
This plan is going to backfire. He's such a dumbass for covering his ears when he knows I'm supposed to come in unexpectedly. And he calls himself 'Asian'. I swear he is not fordoing this.
I knock on it a little a louder yet not so loud that other neighbors could hear, hoping he'll notice I'm here.
But this time he gets up, walking over to his drawer while still in the music zone.
Maybe he'll kinda get the hint and look over?
So I cup my hands around my mouth to against the glass frame. "OPEN THE WINDOW. OVER HERE." I literally press my face against it and make a creepy face.
How attractive Adalia.
Why can't he just move his head to the side and see that I am here!? I feel like punching the window and break in if he doesn't soon enough. But being the person I am, I wouldn't try that.
I watch carefully as he starts stripping off his shirt and look through for a new one.
My eyes rake down his toned abs builted chest, as my heart starts beating faster.
Whoa.
I just...wow. No words for what I am seeing right now.
There was this new feeling that I was getting as I held my gaze onto him.
Calum finally puts on a green flannel shirt then buttoning it up, after a while he takes off his headphones.
This is my chance.
I knock on it, hoping this is the time when he'll hear me.
His eyes flicker to the side but then he turns his head back to the door, where another sound was coming from.
Is he deaf?
There's something wrong with his ears if he didn't hear me tapping on it for like a gazillion times.
Calum opens the door and stands there for a moment, talking to someone.
I couldn't really see who it was but he was out of my view.
Oh shit. Where the hell is he going on?! I'm gonna fucking scream now. Now I have to wait until he gets back in the room.
I'm just gonna give up.
I take a deep breath, looking over to the side to see if there was a better way to stay safely on here.
Then a horrifying aound just suddenly came to my ears.
There was a snapping noise.
.
.
.
My breaths grew steadily as I slowly avert my eyes to see where it was coming from.
It was the huge branch.
And I was mostly on it.
I knew at that moment what was gonna happen. I quickly tried to keep myself against the window frame, holding onto it.
"Let me in! I'm about to fall!" My knuckles rapidly knocked against the window. I was practically yelling.
It was a scary moment not to look down because now...everything feels so high.
I wouldn't stop knocking until someone knew I was out here, about to risk my life --I'm exagerrating but still!
That's when I hear someone from inside quickly push back the curtains and open the glass that was preventing me from getting in.
Fuck. It's her.
"AAAH!" A loud shriek escapes from her mouth as soon as she realizes it was me.
"Wait no, please don't scream! Just let me in because I'm about to--" With that before I could finish my sentence, Dana grabs the nearest thing she could find.
Which was the glass of water.
"CREEP!" A huge splash of water hits my face, startling me.
"Ah ah!" I raise my voice as I lose my balance on the other branch and stump. My foot slips out of it's place, making me leave my hands off the windowsill.
Then a final snap in the air and I was in the air, going down.
.
.
.
With a thud, I land in the mud pile as my head hit against the dirt.
Ouch.
