<human>: My friend never keeps his parents up to date with regards to his school. So he never tells them when he has school off. This was so ever since high school. So on these days, he would pretend to go to school. From there he could do whatever wanted. He could go to the library or chill at a mall. A lot of the time though he just ended up going back home. 

He was sitting in his room on one of these days when his father comes home early. Now at this point does he hide? Does he fess up to the ongoing lie? Nope. He decides the best option is to tie his blanket to his curtains to create a makeshift rope and exit the house from the second floor window ala Batman. The entire way down he is trying to avoid scraping his barefoot on the outside brick wall. He makes it down and then hides outside for bit before entering his house from the front door, announcing his return from school.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: friend decided it was easier to break out of his own house than to explain to his dad why he wasn't at school during a holiday.
