FEAR STREET

I didn't want to tell her I was dumping her for Dennis. She and I really did have to work on the project. It was due on Friday.

"I think Vm getting the flu," I blurted out.

I'm such a bad liar. It was the first thing that popped into my head.

"You seemed fine in school today," Margaret insisted. I could tell she didn't quite believe me.

"I just started to feel sick after school," I told her, feeling really guilty. "I'm going to bed early. Maybe I'll be okay tomorrow. Want to get together tomorrow night?"

"\feah, I guess," Margaret replied. "Feel better, okay?"

She hung up.

I stood there, thinking about Margaret, about what a good friend she was.

Why did I lie to her? I asked myself. Why didn't I just tell her that Dennis was coming over to study tonight?
