If just the pin section came out, there is a small lever at the 2 o'clock position that you can press and it should pop the trunk.

School sucks and you didn`t want to go anyway, this puts a new twist on "the dog ate my home work" excuse trick.

If the above doesn`t with the screw driver, there is always the "FUNOLA" getting into the trunk trick.

Straight inwards!

The lever which will release the latch should be able to be pressed straight inwards to actuate. There is a possibility that you may have to rotate the inter locking cam/rod from the vacumm actuator first, this will be located to the right of the latch facing the trunk lid from the rear. Good luck!
