At lunch Zoe asked me why I was late.

"My parents found out."

"How'd they react?" She asked eagerly.

"Not too terribly, but expect me to not be able to use my phone for about a week, the usual punishment."

"For lying?" Zoe asked.

"What, are you in cahoots with my parents." I said jokingly.

"Possibly." She said rubbing her fake beard. She was the best friend someone could have, seriously, she could make any situation funny. After school I went straight home, not wanting to delay my sentence. When I arrived I was greeted by dad.

"How was school?" He asked happily.

"Eh."

"Well, that's not your usual fine, so I'll accept it." He said happily again, why was he so happy?

"I'm going to go do my homework." I replied, not in the mood to talk.

"Okay, do you have a lot?"

"Nope." Now it was my turn to be happy.

At dinner, dad announced why he was so happy.

"Zayn, and Madison, Danielle said she would love to come and meet us in a couple months."

"I haven't seen her in years that will be great." Papa said, I wasn't nearly as enthusiastic, they were talking about meeting an old friend, I didn't really want to meet her after lying about her to my teacher, I would just feel guilty.

"Um, dad, would it be okay if only you and papa met up with her again."

"Why? It's in a couple months it's not yet." Dad asked.

"I would just feel guilty."

"I see." I could tell he wanted to ask more but he didn't push it. "I'll tell her that."

"Thanks." I mumbled. After the conversation, I wasn't nearly as hungry.
