5) Keep raising stakes!

It's 2 am early calm morning. As I quietly sneak out my large window on the right side of my room, my wooden floor squeaks, making a sound in which worries me that I might get caught by my strict mother. This raving party I'm sneaking out to better be worth it. Half my slender body is through the window, one leg to go, and I'm out of here! Stupidly, I did not think about the fact that I lived in a 2 story house located in an area filled with several security cameras. Now that my entire body is through the window I stand quietly on the roof thinking hard about ways to get down safely as I breathe in the polluted California air. Alas! I see what might be an unstable ladder but a ladder is a ladder as long as it does the job of getting me down, I'm all good. One step, two steps down, and *bzzz* my phone notifies me about someone calling me totally threw me off guard. I didn't see who texted I was just focusing on not fall onto the rough gravel below me. After that whole trial of just simply going down, I made it I finally made it! The party - as I expected - is just as worth it as I hoped for it to be.
