Dad- "Want to tell me why Catherine dropped you off"? I asked as I walked into my office and stood in front of her
Lissy- "You know how I told you that I was going over to my friend's house to work on a group project"?
Dad- " Yes," I said, crossing my arms against my chest
Lissy- "Well, I kinda lied."
Dad- "How did you kinda lie to me"?
Lissy- " Well, I didn't go over to my friends' house to a group project."
Dad- "So you lied to me about going over to a friend's house..."
Lissy- "I didn't lie about that."
Dad- "But you did, Allyssa. You implied that you were going to a friend's house from school. Last time I check, Catherine doesn't go to your school."
Lissy- "So what if I lied? At least I didn't meet up with some guy."
Dad- "Which you are never to do, Allyssa."
Lissy- "Which one"?
Dad- " First off, lose the attitude. Second of all, you know better than to lie to me, and thirdly, you are to never meet up with anyone that I don't know. Is that clear"
Lissy- "Yeah yeah."
Dad- I grabbed her arm and landed a swat to her bottom
Lissy- "Okay, okay...I got it"
Dad- "I mean it, Allyssa."
Lissy- "Sure, Dad"
Dad- "Are you sure, Allyssa? Do you understand what I'm saying"?
Lissy- " Yes, yes l understand."
Dad- "Good. Because if I ever hear, see, or catch you meeting up with someone I don't know. You and I will be having a very, very long conversation. Is that clear"?
Lissy- " Yes, Dad"
Dad- "That doesn't mean you can't tell if I know the person. You are to tell either way."
Lissy- "Yes, Sir. Are you mad that I went to go see Catherine"?
Dad- " No, why would I be"?
Lissy- "Since you two aren't together anymore."
Dad- "Just because we aren't together anymore doesn't mean I want your guy's relationship to end. I'm happy that you have Catherine to go to and talk to. But next time tell me that you want to go talk to her"
Lissy- "I will"
Dad- "Is there something else that you need to tell me"?
Lissy- " Nope. Nothing else"
Dad- "Then end of the discussion of that. By the way, what did you want to talk to her about."
Lissy- "Girl things."
Dad- "Ok"
Lissy- "You're not going to ask me more of what we talked about"?
Dad- "No, I'll leave whatever you girls talk between you two. I'm not going to interfere."
Lissy- "Thanks, Dad"
*Next Day*
-Morning-
Dad- "Lissy! Breakfast"!
Lissy- "Be there in a sec"! I said, tying my hair up into a ponytail.
(Five minutes later)
Dad- "Allyssa! You are going to be late for school, and I'm going to be late for work if you are not down here in the next few seconds"!
Lissy- "Geez! I'm here. No need to get so angry."
Dad- "I will be angry if you keep up with that attitude Allyssa."
Lissy- I rolled my eyes
Dad- "Unless you want to lose your phone for the day. Lose the attitude."
Lissy- "Sorry," Not meaning it, but I don't want to lose my phone.
Dad- "Hurry up and finish your breakfast."
Lissy- "Okay"
-After school-
Lissy- I plopped myself down in my Dad's office. He just picked me up from school and had sent me into his office to do homework. A few minutes later, I hear him come in and sit down at his desk. I look up, and sure enough, he was sitting at his desk working. Why is school work so dull? I wish I didn't have to do school work.
Danny- "Hey Lissy....what's that on your neck."
Lissy- "Huh"?
Danny- " That mark on your neck."
Lissy- "There's no mark on my neck." Shoot! The concealer must have rubbed off when I was at school.
Steve- "What mark"? I asked, getting up
Lissy- " Nothing, Dad," I said, putting my hand on my neck
Danny- "There is a mark on her neck, Steve."
Steve- I walked over to where Lissy was sitting and asked her, "Let me see your neck."
Lissy- "There is nothing on my neck. Uncle Danny is just saying nonsense stuff."
Steve- "Lissy, move your hand off your neck and let me see."
Lissy- "There is nothing on my neck"!
Steve- "If there is nothing on your neck, you should have no problem then with showing me seeing your neck."
Lissy- "I don't have to do anything. There is nothing on my neck"!
Steve- "Allyssa, move your hand. Now"
Lissy- "No"
Steve- "Now"
Lissy- I rolled my eyes and moved my hand. "See nothing."
Steve- "That big mark is nothing, Allyssa. What is it"?
Lissy- " It's just a burn."
Steve- "From what"?
Lissy- " From the straightener. I burned myself this morning when I straightened my hair."
Steve- "If I recall, you had your hair tied up this morning when you came down for breakfast."
Lissy- Crap!
Steve- "So I know for a fact that you didn't straighten your hair this morning."
Lissy- "I...I..did."
Steve- "You did"?
Lissy- " Uh-huh.."
Steve- "Then explain this to me, why when I went back upstairs, I didn't see it sitting on your counter in the bathroom. Don't tell me that you decided to put it away after you used it while still warm.
Danny- " You know that's a fire hazard."
Lissy- "Shut up"
Steve- "Allyssa McGarrett, you don't tell an adult to shut up."
Lissy- "You do"
Steve- "Don't test me, Allyssa. You are to apologize to Danny."
Lissy- "Why should I"?
Steve- "Allyssa"!
Lissy- " Sorry," I said, rolling my eyes
Steve- "Apologize one more time and do it correctly. If you say it with any attitude, you can say goodbye to your phone for a week"
Lissy- "But.."
Steve- "I mean it, Allyssa."
Lissy- "Sorry, Uncle Danny."
Danny- "Apology accepted," I said, then leaving Steves's office.
Steve- I stood there watching Lissy as she apologized to Danny. When Danny left, I asked Lissy, "I will ask you one more time, and I want the truth."
Lissy- I looked at him. I could tell he doesn't have much patience left.
Steve- "Where did you get that mark on your neck."
Will Lissy confess or will she keep lying to Steve???
