April was working another day at Panera Bread. As she was sitting at the counter bored like always, she see's three boys walk in. They were triplets but one really caught her eye...
I lock the door quietly trying not to wake up my dad.
I hope he didn't notice me gone last night.
I tiptoe to my room...
"Where have you been?" April: "Dad?!"
I turned around to see my dad on the couch with bottles of beer around him...
April: "I thought you said you quit drinking!" Dad: "Don't change the subject." April: "Dad why are you drinking don't you rememb-" Dad: "Where were you last night? You had me worried sick!"
I wait a moment before responding...
April: "I was... at my friends house." Dad: "Who?" April: "Mya. I got tired and fell asleep at her house. I know, I should've texted you first. I'm sorry."
My dad looks me up and down...
Dad: "What are you wearing?" April: "What?" Dad: "Why are you dressed... nice?" April: "What do you mean?" ... Dad: "Where did you go last night?" April: "I told you, I went to Mya's plac-" Dad: "Don't lie to me April."
*Ding*
I look down at my phone...
Dad: "Let me see your phone." April: "What, no!" Dad: "Give me your phone!" April: "Why?!"
My dad snatches my phone...
April: "Hey!!"
He stood in front of me looking at the notification. I could smell the alcohol on him...

Dad: "You lied to me. Why are you going to parties? Were you drinking?!"
I snatch my phone back.
April: "I have to go to work."
I head to my room grabbing my work clothes...
Dad: "No! Your quitting and going back to school!" April: "What, no!" Dad: "Yes!"
I head to the door but my dad blocks it...
April: "Let me go to work! I'm late." Dad: "Your going to college!" April: "Ugh your so annoying, I hate you!"
