The next day, at school, I acted normal. Then, I found out that Logan accused me of cheating on him! Later, I went to him.
"Um, why would I cheat for you for? That's stupid. First of all, the guys are too old for me and second, I have you," I said. "When Sharon discovered the weeds yesterday, I knew it wasn't mine. It belonged to the guys. Dad believed me, but I didn't want to tell him."
"I think you should tell your father on that," said Logan.
"I was terrified to do so," I said.
"You can talk to Dawn," said Logan.
"No way," I said. "She'll open her big mouth and mention it to Dad or Sharon."
That was when I walked away.
Later, Sharon noticed I didn't come home from school yet.
"Jeff, where's Mary Anne?" asked Sharon.
"I'm not sure," said Jeff shrugging his shoulders.
I was with the guys. When Sharon asked Dawn, she said she didn't have a clue either. Glad I didn't tell her what I was doing. I know she's worried about me, but I know what I'm doing.
"She's with Kayla and Kaylee. She called Dad earlier," said Carlos who was covering for me. "Didn't he tell you?"
"No, he didn't," said Sharon.
She learned Carlos was right when Dad told her.
"I'm surprised you didn't tell me," said Sharon.
"I called your work, but I was told that you left and you didn't answer your cell," explained Dad.
At the park, I was telling the guys about what Sharon had found. They felt bad and apologized for putting weeds in my purse. I forgave them and I gave the weeds back to them. Kaylee and Kayla were with me. They both knew I did the right thing by refusing the weeds.
After the girls and I got home, we were doing homework. I asked them to play along and they agreed.
"Were you really with the Kayla and Kaylee?" asked Sharon.
"Of course I was," I replied.
"She's right, we were hanging out and then, we planned to do homework together," said Kaylee.
"Well, okay, then," said Sharon.
We didn't tell her I was with the guys at the park first. I know she's keeping me safe, too, but it's too much.
At dinner, Dad was in the den and Sharon was in the living room while we went out for supper. I didn't tell anyone we would be with the guys.
"Time for dinner," said Meredith who was cooking dinner.
I already told her I won't be home for supper.
"Where's Mary Anne?" asked Sharon.
"She was going out with the girls," said Meredith.
At the diner, Kaylee and I sat behind the guys in case if anyone shows up, they won't know I was with the guys.
"Do you need a ride home?" asked Rick.
Kaylee and I looked at each other.
"We're all set, thanks," I said.
"Are you sure?" asked Jack.
"Yes," replied Kaylee.
After dinner, we walked home.
"Smart move," said Kayla.
"I know," I agreed. "I could smell weeds on them."
"Me, too," said Kaylee. "We did the right thing."
"Imagine if that was on my clothes? I'd be in deep trouble," I said.
"Exactly," said Kaylee.
