It all started on a gloomy day in Mena Arkansas, when I lied, but for the right reasons. Throughout the story just remember that I only lied to comfort my brokenhearted friend Emily. So, early one morning, I was riding on the bus waiting for my friends Emily and Cheyenne to get on. Once they got on, Emily sat up against the window and she wasn’t talking to us and I was worried because usually she had a huge mouth.
