Thump, thump, thump, I turn to look at my door and my mom comes in, and sees me standing very tall and confident, with my hands on my hips, and my eyes drifting off to outer space.
"Well what do we have here?" my mom asks.
"I was just.... showing Amanda my picture day pose" I say really just winging' it.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, you see" I go to my computer "Sorry, Amanda I have to go, bye!" And I open Skype to make it sound like I just hung up.
"Ok, then, anyways I came to ask you if you were going out tonight" She asks.
"Why?" I ask her, sounding curious
"Oh, well I was thinking that maybe we could go out tonight and see a movie or something?"
"Umm, I was actually going to go out to dinner with Amanda" I say.
"Oh, ok then," My mom, says, almost like she just got rejected.
"Yeah, we have some catching up to do" I say.
"Ok, well I guess I will see you tomorrow then, because I don't want to bug you while you get ready" My mom says, and then leaves the room, and shuts my door closed on her way out.
She sounds really suspicious, she probably thinks I'm sneaking out again, which I'm not, I'm just not telling her the truth. I hear her walk away, and I can tell she is making lots of steps, but not going very far, and I know because she never ever walks that fast, she always says that slow and steady wins the race! Which I do not believe, but whatever. Anyways, she is most likely trying to figure out what I am actually doing tonight. And since she always, and I mean always gets in the way of my boyfriend and I, I decided not to tell her about Louis.
To make sure she doesn't figure out my plan tonight, I quickly pull up a recording on garage band that I created about 3 years ago, that has me and Amanda having a conversation, and all it has in it, are things that all girls love to talk about: Hair, clothes, boys, and all that stuff!!
I edit it so when I'm speaking the volume is up all the way, and when Amanda speaks, her voice is very quiet, but you can still hear it enough if your in my room.Since my basement is really open, my mom would most likely pick a place near my room, where she can hear what's going on in it but can't see what's going on it there.
I start the recording, and bring my phone with me into the bathroom which is just down a small hallway, and is right across from my room. I pull out my phone, and quickly dial Amandas number. I wait till I hear the little beeps saying that it's reading the number, and then the ringing starts.
"Hello" I hear a tired voice say.
"Amanda, I am gong out tonight, and I told mom that I'm going out to dinner with you because we have some catching up to do, and mum is acting really suspicious, so if she asks you I need you to go on with the plan" I say really quickly.
"Sorry, who is this" She says
"Amanda, don't play that with me, you know it's me Ella, your sister!" I say kind of surprised.
"I am sorry, I don't know who Amanda is, you probably called the wrong number" The person says, and then quickly hangs up.
Well that was embarrassing I quickly call up Amanda double checking the number to make sure it is the right one. Thankfully she is the one that answers, and I quickly tell her exactly what I told that random stranger that I called before.
"Where are going" She asks.
"I'm going out on a date" I tell her.
"So I'm guessing she hasn't gotten any better?" Amanda says.
