Chapter 14

With new exuberance, I conjured up a plan.

I slunk into school at three in the morning using the abandoned annex which faced the back gate of the school. The perimeter of the school was enclosed two thirds by the forest. Students had gotten in trouble before, sneaking out into the woods, somehow getting over the tall, metal, pointed fence. In the enrollment papers for the high school, the parent or guardian had to sign and acknowledge that the school was not liable for a student’s reckless behavior to disobey the school rules clearly set before them to not go into the forest under any circumstance unless it was for a class and they were escorted by teachers. Most students adhered to this rule but it was too easy to get in and out over or even in between the fence, the school needed to up their security, maybe make it an electrical fence.

Once I entered the building, I transformed into my human self and realized too late that it was freezing inside as I had neither fur nor clothes on.
