After reading the entire book, neither Katherine nor Sophia had come back home to open the door for him.
With no way of telling time besides the sun, which had barely moved at all, Alex was getting a little bored.
"There has to be another way to get inside."
Alex quickly got up from the porch and started looking for a way to get inside. The window was off the table, as it was completely locked like the door.
He wasn't about to get into trouble by breaking the glass. So he headed towards the side of the house, only to face a wooden fence that was almost double his height.
"I can climb this... Can I?"
After thinking for a bit, Alex quickly threw his back over the fence before taking a few steps back.
With a running start, he jumped as high as he could, his hand grabbing onto the top before rapidly climbing up halfway up the fence.
However, his muscle strength didn't allow him to pull himself up as his feet started sliding down the fence.
"Shit."
