"What if we try to clean it off?" Justin said while biting down on his lip. Alex sighs at him, "dude it's a car scratch we can't just clean it off". We all keep thinking of ideas and saying them. I take my phone out and start searching up how to get rid of car scratches.

"Carmen get off your phone were all trying to figure out how to get this scratch off and you're on your phone?" Alex says to me taking a deep breath in then exhaling. "No, I'm searching up how to get rid of car scratches," Alex gives me an 'Oh' face and pulls out his phone too.

"Hey, why don't we just bring the SUV back like this and just pretend as if someone else had given it this scratch?" Joan asks, her voice is still a bit shaky but she has calmed down. "We can't they'll most likely get the headmistress to check the cameras to see who scratched it," Kelly says also on her phone looking for something to help us.

I keep scrolling down google looking for anything that can help. There are many ideas on here but just not possible for any of us to do right now. I look up a little to see now everyone is on their phone looking up anything to help us.

After a few minutes of scrolling, I finally find something, "Guys! Look," I get everyone's attention within seconds, "Okay so on google it shows there are car scratch repair kits at auto part stores," Within seconds I could see everyone's spirits get lifted up. "Yeah, but is there even an auto part store open at this hour?" Justin ask. I shrug my shoulders and then start up once again looking at google to see if there is any store open at this hour of the night.

"Oh there is one open right now, it closes at 2:00 AM. If we leave now we can get there in ten minutes," Avery says showing the phone to us. We all nod and hop back into the SUV. It roars to life as Alex turns it on. As soon as we were all seat belted Alex made his way to the auto part store.

The ride was quiet the whole way there. Understandable, seeing as we don't want to get caught or punished by our doms. We get to the auto part store in 8 minutes instead of 10. Alex hops out and I follow behind him. No one else gets off the car, the environment kinda looks a bit sketching so they stayed in the car.

I open the door and enter. There was a man behind the counter sitting on a chair eating a candy bar and a woman stocking up some things on the shelves. Alex walks up to the man, "Hi there by any chance do you have a car scratch repair kit?" The man stands up throwing away the candy wrapper.

The man looks both of us up and down as if he were sizing us up like meat. It was very awkward. I clear my throat a bit. The man nods and points to aisle 4. Alex thanks him and we head for aisle 4. "That wasn't scary at all..." Alex said. We look through the shelves until we find the car scratch repair kits. There were many colors to choose from for the car, but we couldn't find the SUV's color.

"Go ask the dude if he has these but in the color deep black," I said to Alex as I keep searching. He side-eyes me, "No you do it please he scares me," he whispers back to me. I roll my eyes at him and walk over to the counter.

One way to show you're not scared is to act confident. I clear my throat once again getting the man's attention. He was staring at his phone intently until I showed up. He raised an eyebrow at me and put his phone in his pocket. "Hi, by any chance do you have one of those repair kits in deep black?" I question him confidently, even though I wasn't I was more scared than confident while talking.

"I would need to check my computer..." He sounded a bit annoyed. He went over to his computer and started to type this out. I stood there for a good 3 minutes until he talked again, "We do have them in the back but we only have expensive ones left," He said.

"What's the price?" I question raising one of my eyebrows just a bit. He scruffs at me, "$150 dollars." I nod at him. Alex comes up next to me.

"We'll take it, bring it out," I said. The man nods and heads to the back. I and Alex wait there for a couple of minutes until he comes out with a box. He drops it hard onto the counter and scans it with the computer scanner. I take out my card and pay for it. Once we were done paying for it Alex grabs the box and leave the store going straight for the car.

We go over to where the scratch was and open the kit up. There was a sponge and a bottle that said wax on it and a cloth. We read the instructions first then begin the process. I cleaned the place where the scratch was. Alex pours some of the black wax on the sponge and waits until I was done cleaning the scratch area up. Once I was done Alex began rubbing the wax all over the scratch. We waited for five minutes as the instruction told us to do then wipe it off.

Both me and Alex celebrate as we see the scratch is gone. The others come out to see and start to celebrate with us. I sigh in relief that this fixed the scratch. "They won't be able to tell there was ever a scratch," Avery says happily. Joan looks down at her watch then turns to us, "guys we need to hurry! We only got 1 hour left," We all hurry into the car then Alex starts off to the school.

As soon as we get near the school Alex turns off the lights and enters the parking lot. He parks the car and quickly turns off the car. We all get off as soon as he turns off the car. I stretch a bit once I'm off the car, "Want me to help you back into your dorm?" Avery asks me.

"No I'm good I could do it on my own, but thank you," I tell her. She nods at me. We all say our goodbyes and then head off to our dorms. My heart starts to race as soon as I get near the little dormitory. I hide behind a tree quickly because I notice there's a dom outside of the entrance of the dormitory.

How I'm I gonna get past him without him noticing me? I bite down on my lip then look down to notice there's a rock beside my shoe. I grab it then throw it making the dom look that way. He walks over to go see what's going on. I run towards the entrance as fast as my legs could take me then go to hide behind a plant inside. I feel if I take the elevator would make too much noise so I sneak my way over to the stairs. I make my way up then quickly until I reach the second floor. I run to hide behind a sofa and make sure there are no doms anywhere in sight.

Once I look over and make sure there's no one here I run to my dorm. I quickly open my door then go inside shutting it as quietly as I could. Once I'm inside I let out a breath. I drop my keys on the table then go over to my room. Zane isn't here, he's probably still at the party.

I take off my clothes and put on my pajamas from a couple of hours ago. I remove the pillows that I had put under the blankets and turn off the lights. I tuck myself in and grab my stuffie hugging it close to me.
