See-Through Curfew

(I am 12 years old and female. My best friend is a 13-year-old male. I am at his house and am supposed to be home by 10 o’clock.)

Friend’s Mom: “Son, time for bed! Shut off the game.”

Friend: “Why?”

Friend’s Mom: “It’s 2 am!”

(I get up and silently walk into the living room from his room.)

Friend’s Mom: “Whoa, [My Name]. You’re still here?”

Me: *rubs head* “We lost track of time. See ya later!”

(I leave and go home, which is just across the street. I find that everyone is asleep, and didn’t even realize that I missed my curfew… by four hours.)
