Inexperienced novel Chapter 4

Nervously I make my way to the bedroom, two minutes left. I know that if I don't appear on time then I'll get another punishment. I shiver at the thought. Once I enter the room his eyes immediately land on me, I look down my cheeks ablaze. Why does he have to have such a intimidating stare.

"Go to the bathroom to shower," he orders pointing to the direction of the bathroom. "I will be joining you in a couple of minutes." I go to say something but get interrupted by the ring of a cellphone. He pulls a cell out of the pocket of his jeans and immediately answers, he waves a dismissive hand at me and exits through the door. Without thinking I grab my bag and race into the bathroom. I close the door behind me, locking it. I turn the shower on so he gets the illusion that I'm showering. I then look around for an escape. After all escape is always an option. A smile captures my lips as I see a window, I need to climb up on the toilet in order to reach it, but hey! It's a way out. I frown when I see that there's a pool below and that this is a pretty high jump. But if I want to escape then there is no other way. I throw my bag down and smile when it reaches the grass.

"Now time for me to go," I nervously convince myself. Suddenly the door nob jiggles, causing me to whip around and look at the door.

"Why is the door locked?" He asks on the other side and I freak out. "Pet? PET!!!! OPEN THE DOOR NOW!" He yells. The door then begins to move as I hear loud bangs, due to the force of him slamming against it.

"I'll take that as my cue to go!" I say frightfully as I hear the door begin to splinter. I climb though the window and close it, I look down from the ledge. Taking a deep breath I close my eyes and jump. I land in the pool and cheer, that is until I hear the door from the bathroom burst open. Without hesitation I swim tp the other side, grab my bag and run. I can hear his voice shouting in the distance but I don't care, I need to get as far away from him as possible. I reach the front of the gate and let out a huff when I see that I have to climb in order to get through.

"Alright well, this is now or never," I proceed to climb the gate and let out a cheer of gratitude when I reach the top. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm the greatest!" I sing as I do a little dance. I stop when my ears pick up tires heading in my direction.

"Oh crackers!!! Got to blast!" I jump off and run, faster than I ever ran before. I only have a couple of seconds before the cars catch up and spot me. I run and hide in the shadow of a abandoned house. I wait and watch as all cars zoom by. I wait a few more minutes just in case. Once the coast was clear, I took off. I kept to the shadows running and hiding. I was exhausted by the time I reached the nearest high school. Without hesitation I headed towards it, looking back every now and then. I walk around the building looking for an opening and let out a sigh of relief when I see an open window.

"What is up with windows today?" I murmur glad that it wasn't high and only on the first floor. I crawl through and land on the floor, soaking clothes and all. Slowly I get up and look for somewhere to spend the night. After searching around, I find the nurses office and am happy when I see that they left it unlocked.

"Man, these people really know how to lock up," I say to myself as I enter. A sigh escapes my lips as they land on the beds and washing machine. I quickly go to wash my soaking clothes, not wanting them to smell like chlorine the next morning. I look around for some food, and eat some goldfish and crackers. Full and content I go to one of the beds and lay down, waiting to put my clothes in the dryer. Once that time comes, I put them in the dryer and go back to laying on the bed. As I relax I then realize how exhausted I am. Today was a pretty crazy day, but ended greatly.
