A Simple Life of a Teenage Boy - Page 72/97

While I was still thinking for the reasons to tell my parents, James suddenly called me. It was after such a long time. He was currently in United States for a family trip. I acted so calm and asked him about Jenny. He told me everything about her and that he visited her a few days ago. Then suddenly he asked me if I can go to see her too. I was surprised that he asked me. While I was talking with him, an idea suddenly popped up inside my head. I told him that I wanted to visit America and will see Jenny there. And I said that I needed a good reason to tell my parents to make them agree. James then told me that he will talk with my father and tell him that he was inviting me for his birthday party. And since he was currently in U.S. my parents wouldn't suspect a lie. James used to come in my house when we were small so my parents knew him well. He would always invite me in his birthday party and I would never miss that. So, that was a good reason to tell my parents. My father is coming this evening from his business trip. I told James to call me after I will send him a message. I was scared and felt bad that I was going to tell a big lie to my family. But it was the only option left. I would do anything to visit Jenny.
