The lights dimmed and the curtains opened. I felt like I was going to throw up. Why had I ever thought this was a good idea?

Sneaking out to go for a party I was forbidden from attending was really not my plan especially after the tongue lash I received from my strict dad about going for parties in which "teenagers smoked pot".

Nevertheless, I was determined to go for the party, I was probably the only girl in my class that wasn't at that party and already my best friend had called me to ask why I haven't showed up yet.

I carefully raised the window of my room, looked down and gauged the distance from the window to the floor, I decided it was too risky so I opted to gently slide down to the ground even though I would probably scald my hands.

I wore my favorite gown, the one I had apparently overgrown, which showed enough of my thighs.

Every little sound I made seemed like it was magnified with a megaphone so I was extra cautious.

As I began my descent, I heard a light switch turn on but I kept going down.

Just as I got to the ground and was about to meet my best friend at the rendezvous, I heard a voice that chilled me to my bones, "And where do you think you're going?"

awnser:

jem is "moody and silent" after the pants incident. the new school year starts, and scout finds second grade just as boring as first. one day, she and jem are walking home together when jem reveals that when he found his pants that night, they were all folded up, and the tears had been crudely sewn up, as if someone knew that he would be coming back for them. he finds this highly eerie. then, they find a ball of twine in the radley oak tree knothole. again, they aren't sure if it is a gift for them or not, so they leave it for a few days. when it remains in the hole for a few days, they take it, and decide that anything left there is okay to take.
