((OOC: I've started this to place Charlotte's escape attempt in.  I hope this is alright, if anyone wants to see her leaving besides the three NPC boys please feel free.))<br/><br/>Charlotte stayed in her room for a while, but she was soon bored, wanting to do something.  She got off the bed, careful climbing down the steps then she left her room, pausing at the door to decide where to go.  She wasn't sure she wanted to be here.  She wanted to be at home, or some other place.  Maybe a walk, the air might clear her head.  There had been so much going on, so much to take in.  She couldn't quite get her head round it.<br/><br/>She headed out of the building and walked around the outside of it, thinking about the things Lady Shaw had told her.  She wasn't sure she could do it, she was nervous, and it meant she would have to have sex.  She really didn't want to stay here, she didn't want to do the things she had a feeling she would be expected too.  She looked at the gate, sitting open and decided that she would leave.  Everyone was busy, no one would see her.  She returned to her room quickly, making sure no one was there.  She threw her clothes into her holdall, not that she had much, then she scribbled a note to her room mate, “I have decided this place isn't for me. I have left, not sure where I am going but its not home.  Charlotte” she placed it on the girl's bed and then with her bag over her shoulder she left.<br/><br/>She made her way through the school, thankful that there was still no one around.  She headed straight to the open gates, freedom beckoned her and she walked out without looking back.  She was free, she smiled as she walked past the gates, yes she was free.  She continued walking along the lane, feeling her worries lift from her shoulders.  She would hitch a lift and head to some city, she was bright, she would find work.<br/><br/>Charlotte didn't see the three boys from the basketball team watching her, frowning.  They turned and headed inside, looking to find Lady Shaw and tell her of what they had seen.  They knew she wouldn't get far, the silly girl would be in trouble.  They grinned to each other, maybe they would get to watch.
