Kiss and tell
Lying about how I have money, and leaving them to think that I inherited a large sum when my grandparents died.
“I don’t feel very well,” I heard myself say to my friends.
Both of them turned to me, wondering if they heard me right even tho the music had just stopped. I clenched my jaw, calling the actress in me to look more confident in what I was telling them.
“I think I ate something bad… I must go home.” I pressed my left palm to my stomach, using my other hand to lean over the counter.
“But you promised to be here when I break up with Toby…” Anna gave me the puppy eyes.
