You sat there nervously, looking around the room as you listened to the interviewer. "You have nothing to worry about as long as you answer honestly."

You nod, "Make's sense." you say, nervousness dousing your voice as you spoke. The administrator standing up as you watched them closely. In hand, he had the strap, instructing you to reach up your arms so he could put it around your torso.

"So you're like... legit?"

"Yes, I was a detective for the District Attorney's office. You're in good hands." he joked. Pulling at velcro, and slipping on the device to your fingers.

"I guess we'll see." you said lightly. The room was quiet as the man plugged in his equipment. Once finished, they gave a thumbs up to the interviewer.

"To begin, I'm going to be calibrating the machine by asking you some straightforward questions. Please answer honestly. Is your full name Y/N L/N?"

"Yes."

"Were you born (month,day,year?)"

'Yes."

"Are you about to take a polygraph exam?"

"Yes."

"Are you nervous?"

"Deathly." you say stiffly, sweat reaching your pals as they rested on the table.

"Alright, lets get started with your life-" she said monotonly, "You're a bit of an uprising celebrity, did you expect to blow up?"

"Uh no, I didn't, I started doing this as a hobby."

"You were homeschooled growing up, Were you a good student?"

"Yes." you say truthfully, the nerves starting to grow in your stomach as the questions reached your ears.

"Did you every cheat on a test?"

"I think everyone has, so yes."

"They're telling the truth." The man said, sat beside you at another table, reading the results of your test.

"Did your parents ever find out?"

"If they did, they never addressed it."

"You use to work at a popular store -"  the interviewer said, pausing as she continued to read the questions,   "There were allegations that you stole, did you?"

"No, I didn't. They didn't like me very much." You said lightly, looking over at the machine to see if it would lie.

"That's the truth."

"You looked over like you were expecting a different answer."

"I was trying to see if the machine would lie."

"And did it?"

"No."

"Lets move on to, your career."

"Alright."

"The first thing you've ever been in is, 'The Last of Us'?"  she began,  "Did you enjoy it?"

"Yes, everyone was very welcoming and I've learned to love all of them."

"That's a lie." the administrator said.

"Which part?"

"Would you like to change your answer?"

"It's not a lie, The cast and crew is truly my family , I was in a commercial when I was younger though."

"And why did you lie?"

"It's embarrassing to be in a commercial like that."

"And, what was the commercial?"

"I believe it was for toilet paper," you pause hesitantly thinking back on to the misfortune you ensued to yourself.  "I was young so I could be wrong."

"Do you think you'll be in another?"

"I don't think so, its not my forte."

"That's a lie."

"its not my forte, But I was just casted for a commercial, I wasn't suppose to mention anything"

"And why did you lie?"

"I don't like them that much."

"And what is the commercial?"

"It's for a non profit organization."

"How is that different than other commercials?"

"Its not ran by people just for money, they're not capitalizing on the cause."

"The next category is relationships."

"Perfect."

"You once said that this person-" sliding a photo of Pedro Pascal, "had a big impact on your life"

"Yes, that's correct."

"You said that without him, you wouldn't be acting. Is that still true?"

"Yes, he took me under his wing and continues to encourage me to do my best."

"And what about this person?" a picture of Bella making an appearance.

"They have also made an impact, yes."

"How?"

"They're just one of the coolest people I've met, super nice and friendly."

"Do they intimidate you?"

"No."

"That's a lie."

"Well, Kind of. They're very outspoken and confident in what they do."

"There are rumors stating you have a crush on this person, have you heard them?"

"I have, yes."

"And are they true?"

"No." looking at the machine, "I love them to death but we're just friends."

"That's a lie."

"You keep lying, why?"

"Cause if I say I have a crush on one of my friends then it'll be awkward. And ill have to deal with press and media telling me to date one of the people I love the most"

"You do though."

"I do, but if I admitted it then it would be true."

"You just did."

"That's true."

"Would you want to date them?"

"Is there any point in my trying to lie?"

"No."

"Then yes, I would love to spend every waking minute with them as possible."

"Final question - At any point, did you lie during this interview and we didn't catch you?"

"Unfortunately no." you laugh while shaking your head.
