How did Melba get out of the house?

Melba Patillo Beals’s memoir “Warriors Don’t Cry” chronicles her experiences as one of the famed Little Rock Nine, a group of black high school students in Arkansas who were selected to integrate the all-white Central High School.
Because of all the threats from the community and Governor Faubus’s thwarting the Little Rock Nine from entering the school on their first attempt, Melba and the others are assigned military protection from the 101st Airborne Division, so ordered by then-President Eisenhower.
The answer to your question depends on which time Melba goes to Central that you want to discuss. To ensure I answer your question, I will explain all three.
The first time, Melba’s mother drives her to school. Of course, the mob prevents her from entering and both Melba and her mother escape in their car. The second time involves Mrs. Daisy Bates, the president of the local NAACP chapter, who also runs an independent, pro-integration newspaper. Mrs. Bates and an associate drive two cars to the school with all students inside. While the students make it through the first day, they have to be smuggled out of the school to avoid violence from the white mob that has gathered outside. After a legal battle, Eisenhower sends the 101st Airborne Division to ensure the next time the Nine go to school, things will run smoothly.
The plan for this final “first day” is to meet in the morning at the house of Mrs. Bates. Once all nine students arrived, fifty armed soldiers from the 101st escort them to Central High School. Once inside, each of the Nine is assigned a personal bodyguard to provide further security throughout the school day.
