I saw the guard and slid into my natural speed as a tiny pang of panic gripped me.


Then, I did the worst thing I could have done. I waited for the flickering overhead light to go dark in the the open doorway, and slipped past the janitor into the school.


I knew he felt the fabric of the cloak as I went, and then I was around the corner and into the hallway, classroom doors on either side. 


The place looked like any other school, white tiles and walls, handmade banners and announcements taped up to them, or locker doors.


It was pandemonium in my brain for a fraction of a second, because the halls were lit. I could read the announcements on the bulletin board loud and clear.


And that meant one thing - they would see me.

Lurking in the shadows of a building only works well when no one has a flashlight. When they do, all bets are off.


Mr. 'Happy Security Guard' had two flashlights, one larger, one smaller, and a can of pepper spray. Not to mention a radio.


This was going to make my night interesting.

It was early evening, after dinner, when I decided to sneak down to the high school.


I thought dusk would allow me to blend in better. That all the students and teachers, and everyone else would be gone for the day.


Wrong.


I reached the school just fine, and there were no peers or faculty to hinder my exploration. There was, however, a janitor, and one very nosey security guard.

My venture out and about into the neighborhood had gone unnoticed by Mom, so I decided to go check out the high school.


Might as well see when I would be getting my 'education'.
