Rain:114: No Excuses

Synopsis

Emily invites Rain to come to Emily's Halloween party. Rain makes several excuses for why she can't go, but Emily is not fooled and asks Rain not to lie.

Author Notes 

Emily hates liars. Don’t lie to Emily. Ever.

The irony is that while Rain WAS making excuses to avoid having to go, nothing she actually said was a lie. What? I said Emily hates liars; not that she’s some kind of perfect human lie detector... 

Transcript

Hey, Rain. Have you gotten one yet?
A Halloween party? Isn't it a bit early? It's still September.
Time flies, you know. Besides, it's going to be huge, so it required advanced planning.
Everyone in the school is going to be there after all.
E-everyone? I don't know, I'm no good with crowds...
You do fine in school. And it's all going to be the exact same people.
But I don't even have a costume...
Good thing it's only September. That gives you over a month to get one.
My aunt can be unreliable so I might not be able to get a ride...
I can arrange a carpool if you like.
Listen, Rain. It's up to you if you don't want to go, but don't lie to me. Either way, if you don't go, I think you could be missing one of the major highlights of our senior year.
Think about it.
