One Way (2012)
““I wish I’d been there,” he says. “I wish I’d seen the whole thing. Look, Kenz, if she can lie, I guess I can too.”
“I don’t want anyone to lie,” I say. “I want everyone to tell the truth. I especially want Mandi to tell the truth.”
T.J. is telling me he always thought she was a little off when my dad appears in my room. I guess he doesn’t notice I’m talking to T.J., because he says, “Do I look like I was born yesterday?”
I look at his receding hairline, his paunch and the crow’s-feet at the co...rners of his eyes.
“Not to me, you don’t,” I say.
He takes the phone from my hand, proving I was wrong about him not noticing. He holds it up, his face a question mark.
“T.J.,” I tell him.
My dad holds the receiver to his ear.
“Goodbye, T.J.,” he says.
He closes my phone and tosses it on the desk.
“Irshad saw you leave the house,” he says.
Irshad Kirpal is our across-the-street neighbor.
“You spied on me?” I say, all indignant.
“You lied to me,”MoreLess
