Ella had been resigned to a night in, not that that was unusual on a school night. Then the weird texts had come, half garbled and hard to decipher. After a few exchanges she had deduced it was some party Hunter was throwing, and without much thought Ella was already getting dressed. It was silly, but truthfully Hunter was pretty much the coolest girl Ella knew, except her sister of course, and she jumped at the chance to hang out with the older girls. Still, it was best not to tell Jenny where she was going as she called out a quick bye and scurried away off campus.
It was surprisingly easy to sneak out of school, and Ella apparated to where she thought Hunter meant to say she was, which was a club. Ella hesitated before joining the queue. What did she have to lose? She was already breaking curfew. She had her wand ready to confund the guy on the door, if it came down to it, but she was waived right in behind a group of older ladies. Hardly believing her luck, she scanned the club excitedly, high off of the success. Spotting Hunter, she ran over to the older girl breathlessly.
"Oh hi, I got your texts, are you really out on a school night? Did ya really want me to come meet you guys? Jenny's gonna be so mad" she rambled, staring around wide-eyed.
