Walking barefoot in the school hallways was something that Estrella had never tried before. After dancing for a good while in stilettos, the cool stone was miraculous for her aching feet. She had long since banished her matching red shoes to be clutched tightly in her hands. She had given everyone the impression that she was going to bed, but sleep was far from her thoughts at the moment.
Each step she took up the winding staircase was both exhausting and a relief. It was a hot summer night, and the North Tower was likely to be abandoned. Time was also creeping along quickly. It wouldn't be long before the Yule Ball ended and the happy students and their dates would retire to bed. It may have been her last ball at the school, but right now she needed to get as far away from it as possible.
It would be a lie to say that she hadn't enjoyed James's affections. At the same time, she felt as if she were betraying Jaken, who, in turn, had asked someone other than her to the ball. When the situations were added together, they left her mind in a right mess. Climbing the North Tower was a necessity- she needed to break the surface and just breathe.
Reaching the top of the stairs, she immediately rushed to the window. She dropped her shoes onto the floor without a moment's hesitation. Putting one leg through the large open window she sat on the ledge, and when she was confident that she wouldn't fall she brought the other leg over the edge.
The seventeen year old girl inhaled deeply as the summer breeze caressed her exposed skin. She leaned her head of brown hair against the side of the window, reveling in the feeling of cool stone against her cheek.
