"Did you really think that was the perfect lie? I''ve been told by more than one ssmate that they''ve spotted you outside. They even sent me some photos. Would you like to take a look?" As soon as udia pulled out her phone, Thalia''s expression soured momentarily. Then, she forced a bright smile the next second.


    "What are you talking about? I spent my afternoon reading in the library. I even borrowed a collector''s edition of Andersen''s fairy tales that I missed out on buying for myself. See for yourself in the library." Thalia''s calmness andposure were so convincing that udia would have believed every bit of it but for the evidence she had with her. Thalia''s lies left udia feeling a little apprehensive.


    "Do you think I''m as devious as you are? I''m telling you I have evidence because that''s the truth, and I have a pretty good idea of why you''d want to go to school with me. It''s because of Lucas, right? I didn''t see what happened because I was rehearsing, but you made such a scene that it ended up being posted on our school forum. Lots of students have been saying things about you, so I bet you couldn''t bear to hear it all. Then you decided to find somece where you can hide.


    "But I don''t understand why all of this has to do with me. I''m your sister. Why would you badmouth me in front of Dad?"


    udia''s words made Thalia''s expression sour even more. "What are you talking about? Why don''t I know about this forum?"


    "Because only the students from our school can ess it. Don''t change the subject, Thalia. Answer my question: why did you lie to Dad? You were never in the library, and I ended up searching the entire school like a headless chicken just to try and look for you!"


    Thalia''s gloomy expression was


    evident, and she wanted to see what sort of posts had been made in the


    forum. The thought that ever fet


    else saw her gnawed at her


    thoughts, and she wondered if her unttering appearance had been photographed by someone and posted online for all to see.


    "That''s not important! Haven''t you embarrassed me enough?" Thalia stepped forward anxiously and tried to snatch the phone from udia''s hand. "Hurry up and show me thements that were made about mel didn''t do anything! There''s no reason for them to take pictures of me!"


    "Aha! So now you admit it! I guess I''m not even half as important as a stranger like Lucas," udia said in disappointment.


    Thalia, however, did not seem to care. udia could never bepared to Lucas anyway.


    "Now give me your phone!" Thalia demanded, but udia grasped the phone even tighter.


    "And what if I don''t? Treat this as your punishment. This is the price you''ll have to pay for the lies you told today. You might be my sister, but that doesn''t excuse you from


    е


    bearing the consequences of your


    actions." .


    udia still could not get over Thalia''s refusal to apologize despite going into hiding and telling all those lies. As if that was not bad enough, Thalia demanded udia''s phone so she could read the forums. Thalia''s increasing nervousness gave udia more reason not to hand it over. A mental breakdown seemed imminent, as Thalia could not bear to make a fool of herself before she seeded in confessing.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
