“Don’t worry- I have that covered…but I just can’t wait. I’m starting next week…and I need to get all my kit out of my old cupboard without my parents knowing…so any tips on how I’m going to do that?”
“Don’t be silly- how are you going to do that? They’ve locked the cupboard with keys that are probably with their other keys…so how are you going to get that?”
“That’s why I’ve asked you to help me…come on!”
“Mmm…I don’t think it is a good idea…”
“Oh come on Raina…you’re supposed to be my friend!”
“I know, I know…”
“Well…are you coming?”

“We don’t need one! We need to do something practical…something that would really work.
“Hey- this does not include me going into your parent’s room to steal anything…does it?”
“Only just…but better…”

“Raina...place your left foot onto the lower trunk!”
“What? Why?!”
“So you can get onto the higher one...obviously!”
“No! I really can’t do this...”
“Oh come on- you’re not that much of a chicken are you? Besides- you’re nearly there!”
“I’m afraid of heights...and you know that!”
“Oh...just listen, don’t look at me!”
“Too late...ah, shit...I really can’t do this!”
“Argh, we’re never going to make it before my parents if you’re going at this rate!”
“Hannie...do we really have to do this?”
“Yes!”
I closed my eyes and reached for another branch. Just as I was going to put my foot on another branch- my soles of my shoes lost grip, and I was slipping…
