"Ummmmm truth or dare?" I ask my friend.
"Dare," Tori says almost automatically. My friend Jennie and I had already come up with six dares and we were having a hard time coming up with more for Tori. It was 1:00 AM and my parents thought we were asleep but we were up the whole time playing truth or dare.
"I dare you to go outside and tepee the principals yard!" I tell my friend. She looked at me like I was crazy."No, that's way to hard!"
"C'mon, you picked dare. You have to do it." I said to her.
"But………"
" We will go outside with you." My other friend promises.
"Fine. But if I get in trouble you guys have to take the blame with me." she says with a smile. I thought about this. Getting in trouble for something I didn't do always made me mad. But I guess I did come up with the dare…….." Fine, deal." We changed into all black, and I laughed as my friend streaked black face paint across her face. " Wow, you sure take a dare seriously." Jennie says. We laugh then grab rolls of toilet paper. "Guys, we have to be quiet or my parents will hear us." I tell them.
"How about we go out the basement door so they wont hear us." Tori suggests. I decided it's a good idea and we made our way to the basement door.
Outside, it is pitch black and you could only see the luminous street light, lights. We open the sliding door and the fresh air flows into our faces. I had never been outside at 2 am and it seemed like we were in a different world. The houses were pitch black and the streets were empty. There was no traffic sound and no one was in sight. The world seemed frozen and empty like we were the only ones experiencing it
. We stepped outside with our million roles of toilet paper, and made our way down the street to our principals house. It was always weird to me that my principal lived down the street. I mean she could see everything going on at our house and it was weird thinking my principal had a personal life. But I guess her house is now useful for something. We arrived at the house then handed her the first role of toilet paper. She took it then whispered "Guys do it with me it seems fun and if you are going to get in trouble anyway don't you just want to try it?" I guess she was right. What was the point of watching her have all the fun, I mean how many times do you get to toilet paper your principals house?
I grabbed a roll and joined in on the fun. We threw the toilet paper in the trees, on her porch, and on her mailbox. It looked like we were pro's at it. Suddenly a light turned on in the house. We ran behind a tree across the street and decided we were going to make a run for it. We made our way crawling on the ground to the next tree. We finally were far away enough to stand up and walk. "That was so fun!!" Jennie exclaimed. And I always thought she was the boring one…boy was I wrong. "Yeah I just hope we don't get caught!"Tori says.
" Agreed, imagine how mad my parents would be." I say.
"True, but first we have to worry about getting back inside without getting caught." Tori says.
"We can just go back through the basement door again."
We were almost at my house and we were starting to get cold. I was glad to see all the lights were off. We walked to the basement door and tugged on the handle."Oh my god we are locked out." Jennie tells us.
"No it can't be."I said. I tugged and tugged on the handle but it wouldn’t budge. "This is really bad." I checked my phone and found out it was 2:00 am. We still had at least 5 hours until my parents wake up. "They can't find us outside we have to get inside." I tell my friends. We walked around my house hoping a window was open or something……..Nothing. We sat down and thought about what we were gonna do.
Suddenly a car, driving really slow, came into view. "Wait isn't that your car?" Tori asked me. I took a closer look and realized it was. What is my dad doing driving at 2:00? "Weird I wonder what's going on." I say. We walked to around the house so we could slip inside when he opened the garage door. The garage door opened and we went inside. My friends slipped downstairs so my dad wouldn't see us. I stayed by the basement door and cracked it open. My dad walked inside and threw the keys on the table. He sat down at the table and closed his eyes. I had no idea where he had been and I kind of didn’t want to know. I knew my dad, and I knew he wouldn't make any bad decisions but I was still worried. I walked downstairs and knew sleep would help me think better.
