Running awayTwo friends ran away from boarding school. They didn't get too far though - they forgot to check when the last train ran. A teacher found them sitting waiting and drove them back again.
That said, it's not just a thing kids do - the urge to just run is built into all of us. Tell us about the times you've given in and run.

SUBJECTOur highscool lets kids drive their own cars to it (like many do), and they employed the janitor as a makeshift truancy officer to stop kids from leaving; especially on days with optional assemblies. Cue me making a break for it, even though he and a few other teachers had closed the parking lot gates and were directing cars away. Cue kids laughing at me for thinking I was going to get out early and calling me an idiot. Cue me leaving the school as I had other classes to attend at a college (school-sponsored program to shrink class sizes and let the people who aren't dipshits take good classes). Cue me laughing my ass off as I watch the kids run back to their cars to try it themselves...
Not really a getaway, but more smug self-satisfaction than the time the janitor followed me for three miles in his el camino trying to get me for truancy.
