She didn’t already know that I had a kissing scene with Bennett, did she? My heart rate sped up in my chest. How could she know that? Had she overheard Bennett talking to someone? My mind raced with the possibilities of how she might have found out.

Jackilyn:Where are you? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.

Great. How was I supposed to explain to Jackilyn where I was and what I was doing? Usually, she didn’t care what I did or where I went, and now that I wanted to keep it private, she was acting all nosy? I didn’t want to lie to her. I hated lying, but I didn’t want to hurt her either.

Me:I’m doing homework. I’ll be home soon.

Jackilyn:Why aren’t you doing homework at home?

Me:Does it matter? It’s a nice day. I went to the park to enjoy it.

Jackilyn:You could have just gone in our backyard.

Me:And have you breathing down my neck when I’m trying to get work done?

Jackilyn:Are you avoiding me?

My heart pounded faster. She had to know.
