The escape
The end of year ball was unexpected but it would make her escape so much easier, running away from Gallagher girl academy with its high security, laser beams, and cameras was never going to be easy, mostly due to her mom blocking up the secret passage ways it taken her so long to find, but it could be made a lot easier with a floor length dress and a tunnel uncovered a week ago (even my mum couldn't find them all). After putting up with Macys complains that she had to 'wear SOME makeup at least'. I went down stairs in the simple full length short sleeved black dress, it was simple but amazing, even daring to compare to Macys short red designer dress and Bexs blue one shoulder dress, Liz trailed behind us in a pink frilly thing which could only look good on her. I would miss them I thought as I laughed at something Bex said.
The ball seemed to last forever, I spent it talking with people for ages then silently disappearing to talk to someone else so that when I finally did leave no one would worry about where I was for at least a hour, but even then it would probably not be till Bex, Macy and Liz went to bed that they realised I wasn't there, it was that they usually ignored me just that I blended in so well with crowds hence the nickname. Macy dragged me to the almost empty dance floor a few times but she knew I wasn't into it so gave up quickly. I decided I would wait till the dancing started properly before leaving. The only thing I wasn't expecting was Zach, I thought he would've guessed what I was going to do and come down to say goodbye, but he didn't show downstairs at all I didn't know how I thought about that yet, I pushed the thought away, I needed to focus and I couldn't do that while he was occupying almost all my head.
It was three hours later that the dancing started with such laughter and attention that I could slip out the half open door unseen, I walked slowly down the corridor knowing that if anyone bothered to come out their gazes would slip from me in an instant I was the chameleon for a reason. When I got round the corner safe from anyone who would dare to stop me, I began to run pulling the soft fabric of my dress over my head, underneath were jeans and a strapy black top hidden by the dresses length, I grabbed the black bag hidden in the corner as I ran, pulling out a hoodie I replaced it with the dress then slid the bag behind me, glancing behind me as I did but the corridor was empty. I could have laughed if I hadn't feared someone hearing it. I pulled the hoodie over my head, slid to a stop, then grabbing the skirting board I pulled open a secret door, it slid upwards as a jumped inside. Hearing voices I pulled it down gently and waited but it was just some second years chatting about the places they would be going in the holidays. I only started moving swiftly down the corridor after I was sure that there footsteps had moved away, I breathed in gulping down the air as I got outside into sunlight and a gentle breeze.
