this could be something, herron.

10.

??: Cameron, really? Not at work please.

Cameron pulled out and sighed.

Cameron: Sorry, ma'am.

I looked at the lady that'd stepped in on us. It was Isabelle's mom and she's the boss. Thank God it was her.

??: You can take your break now, but Penny gotta be out in 5 minutes.

Me: Thank you, Mrs. Anderson.

I walked over to her on my way out and she whispered to me.

Mrs. Anderson: I didn't know you two were a thing. Say hi to your father from me.

I chuckled.

Me: I will.

Before I walked out of the door I took a quick look over my shoulder and smiled to Cameron. He looked at me and smiled as well.

On my way out everybody was stearing but I didn't care 'cause Cameron just kissed me. I had a smile all over my face.

I found the girls and when they asked what happened I told them.

Isabelle: My mom? How awkward.

We all laughed.

I came back home, but right before I walked through the front door I heard my name being mentioned. The window was open so I could hear everything.

August: I can't believe I almost told Penelope about Mia. She knows something's up.

Mia? My-best-friend-Mia? Was that what he was sad about earlier?

Noa: I ignored her question about college when we were in the car with Mason. But I don't think she's suspecting anything yet.

He WAS lying about college in the car. Wait, what?

Marco: Guys, don't worry, she thinks everything's going great since this morning where we "figured everything out". She's not smart enough to think we would lie to her. She even believed Mason when he said he had plans with his friends.

What? What tf is going on? What are they keeping from me? What was Mason actually supposed to do today?

Are they lying to me? My brothers?

What about my dad? Is he in on whatever this is?

It doesn't sound like they are planning on telling anything.

Do I just walk in now and ignore everything?

If I can't trust them, who can I trust?

Nobody.

If Mia is involved, are my other friends as well?

Probably.

Dad: Guys we shouldn't talk about his right now, she could be home any minute by now.

Great,

I am so stupid.

I walked away and further down the street.

I had too many unanswered questions.

Is my life a complete lie?

What is going on?

-dad's POV-

It was 8 pm and Penelope wasn't home yet. I decided to wait a few more hours.

-my POV-

I ended up walking around in the city 'till it was dark.
