"I have to go get some groceries. I'll be back in a few." Carl said. "Ok, be home soon!!! It shouldn't take more than one hour!!!" I replied. He nodded and then rushed out of the door. I decided to look outside to see the summer air. I also saw a car outside of our house. It wasn't mine though. We don't own a white Chevrolet. I watched as Carl got in the car. What made me more suspicious was he got into the passenger's seat. This is what really made it suspicious. In about an hour, the white Chevrolet came back with Carl. "Who was that that picked you up?" I asked Carl as he came through the door. "That was my old friend, Kirk Duncan." Carl replied. "So, where are the groceries that you bought?" Carl didn't reply. "I didn't get any..." he finally said. "Where were you then?" I asked. This confused me. Why would he lie to me? "I went to his house and we played pool for an hour. Sorry." Carl looked disappointed in himself. "It's ok Carl. Tell me the truth. Don't lie. I would have been perfectly fine with you going to hang out with one of your old friends!" I replied. I cheered him up. We laid in bed for the rest of the day.
