Lie To Me novel Chapter 5

After finishing my meal, I went straight to my room. I just locked myself inside and didn’t came out the whole afternoon. I just pretended to be tired and wanted to rest so they wouldn't bother me anymore.

Lying on my bed, I stared blankly at my ceiling. I don't know why I'm in this place again. Even though I don't want to go home, there is a force pulling my leg to go home.

I have sworn of not coming back to this place even though I was born and raised here. I feel like I’m not safe in this place, but seeing myself in this same place again overwhelmed my insides.

The next morning, I pushed myself to have a walk. I walked around our subdivision for almost an hour and when the sun got irritating on my skin, I decided to go back home.

It's Thursday and I don't have any plans of going out. If I hadn’t just gotten used to running every morning I wouldn’t have come out. As much as possible I don’t want anyone to know I’m home. I would be especially irritated if someone were to tease me, more than the irritation I get from my younger brother.

"Don't you have any plans to go out? I'm being examined by the way you look like you've been lying here on the sofa all day and your cellphone is full," I said to my brother.

"I have nothing to do outside," he replied. "And then if you don't want to see me, you're in your room. I'm quiet here." it's still howling.

I just ignored it and went straight to the kitchen. I caught up with Mom there.

"Aren't you planning to take a walk outside?" Question it immediately.

I shook. "I'm too lazy to go out."

"What a waste of your vacation if you don't go out. Can you visit your friends?" Mama suggested.

"They're busy, Ma."

"Edi on the week. How long will you leave?"

"Two weeks please."

"It's also a long time, just text them so you can prepare when you'll meet."

"Later." My answer. I said goodbye here going up to my room.
