Story Peeps Change Lives

Roof Top Girl

Written by VinceM

When I was fourteen I met this girl, her name was Laura. She was one of those girls that you just can't stop thinking about from the day you meet her.

Laura was a very cute blond with long hair, long legs, and a smile that I craved to see. I used to walk up to her window at night and crawl through it to hang out in her room.

From day one we got along like best friends and even though we never mentioned it to each other, I definitely sensed loved between us. Laura and I always fooled around with each other, but at the time of this story; we haven't even kissed yet.

In my teenage years, I was a wild kid who enjoyed doing daring activities, you know, activities that basically broke the law. Laura was the only girl that I knew who would do crazy things with me. I have to admit that the fact that Laura did wild things with me, made me like her even more. I'm mean, c'mon how many girls would go egg cars or carve tattoos into her skin with a razor blade?

One day Laura wanted to climb on to our school roof with me. I have to admit that I didn't like climbing on top of the school, but because Laura asked me, I didn't seem to mind it at all.
We walked to my old middle school and used a trash can to climb on top of the utility room; which is the only part of the school with a flat roof. Laura and I made it to the first level without a hitch.

The next step was to climb onto the second level by using a small fire escape ladder on the side of the music room. Being a teenage boy, I really enjoyed watching Laura climb the ladder before me, in her little daisy dukes.

The final climb of our journey was the trickiest. First we had to climb on top of a large metal box, then from there we hopped onto a window sill. After that we had to grab the edge of another roof and pull ourselves up to the top. I hated this last part, because if you slip, you could fall and hurt yourself from a 14' drop to the second roof top.

Laura and I got to the top and half the worry of this whole stunt was over. I grabbed some cigarettes out of my pocket and Laura and I had a smoke to celebrate our little escapade.

We talked and laughed for a bit then Laura started to goof around and slipped on the metal roof. I quickly reacted and caught her hand, but I too began slipping with her down the roof. We were both scared as hell because the drop from where we were, was at least 40 feet. We frantically secured our feet in the roofs gutter at the very end of the roof and basically prevented ourselves from dying that day.

Wow! We carefully made it back up that roof and to the part of the building where we had to hang off the other roof and catch our feet onto the window sill again. We climbed down all the levels and had another cigarette.

That was the last day that I climbed the school roof and I think it was probably Laura’s last time to. Tune in to Story peeps  to read more stories about me and Laura and other crazy moments in my life.
