This didn't go according to plan (prompt #2)

• Today's prompt: I tried to sneak out using my window and now I’m hanging from it can you help me?

″Um, excuse me?″

Ben pulled out an earbud from his left ear and looked around. He was walking down an ordinary-looking, reasonably well-lit suburban street but it was past midnight and one can never be too careful. At least that’s what his mother keeps saying every time he leaves the house.

“Excuse me? Over here!”, came the voice again, somewhere from the darkness of the front porch of the house on his right. Ben pulled out the right earbud and shoved the earphones in his back pocket. As he was rolling the earphones and pushing them into his jeans, making them exquisitely knotted in the process, he analysed the situation: 1) it is the middle of the night; 2) there is a voice coming from the darkness, a voice he doesn’t recognise, 3) given the set-up it is likely that the voice belongs to a burglar, a robber or another sort of a criminal element; 4) but they said “excuse me”. Twice. Ben found it unlikely that a burglar would have the time for pleasantries; 5) still; they could be a murderer trying to lure him in under the false safety of politeness...

His thought process was cut short with another, this time distinctly angry, whisper and Ben realized it was a girl's voice, “hey, I'm kind of in a not-so-great situation here and I could really use some help.” Concluding that the owner of the voice probably isn’t a murderer, Ben slowly approached the house and looked around in the dark blue night. There was no one there.

“Up here,” came the voice again just as Ben began to doubt his sanity.

Looking up, he realized that there was a pair of legs wearing beat faded pink Converse, dangling from the first floor window. Using his phone as a flashlight, he gazed up from the pink Converse and recognized a girl who worked in the local cinema.

“Hi, I’m stuck and I need your help“, she said conversationally. 

So day 2. I realize this isn't that good and nothing really happens but I have an exam tomorrow and need to be doing that, okay? Maybe I'll continue this tomorrow, who knows.
