Chapter 6
- I walked inside the living room to find Nate and a guy who I think was his friend, playing video games. I tried to walk past them but Nate interrupted me just as I was about to cross the couch.
- "Hey, why didn't you wait for me in the morning?" he asked, not peeling his eyes off the screen.
- "Had some pending work at school," I lied effortlessly and he paused the game to look at me.
