I found myself in my room. I held the door. I was in a dilemma. I had lied to Alpha Ryder that I wanted to use the bathroom. I had said that in front of everyone and now, I didn’t know what to do. Should I go back and tell Ryder that I had lied and that I wanted to sleep or should I just go back and pretend like I hadn’t lied and continue working with my tiredness?
That question kept repeating in my head. I would have chosen the first alternative but I knew if I did that, I would get into trouble with Ryder and I would have myself to blame.
“I had better go back downstairs and act like I didn’t lie,” I said to myself.
Five minutes was almost up.
I looked at myself in the mirror, rubbing my face. I had to look smart. I adjusted my clothes and dashed out.
I found my way to the dinin
