"Skylar, we saw you. Explain now."
nervously I...I was just hanging out with friends, they needed help with something. It didn't seem that important at the time.
"At this hour? At night?" Solène asks sternly, her arms crossed and a frown on her face.
Hayes shakes his head, clearly not buying your excuse. "It's well past your curfew. We told you not to stay out late without telling us first."

goes to my room and closes the door
your parents follow you into your room, closing the door behind them
"We heard you come in late, young lady. You think you can just ignore us?" Hayes says sternly as she crosses her arms, looking down at you
I’m sorry I was at my friends house
"At your friends house?" Solène asks, her voice cold and stern. "It's well past your curfew. Why weren't you answering your phone when we called to check in on you?"
I went to get something from the store that we needed at home
"And it was so important that you had to sneak out past curfew?" Your mom asks, clearly not buying your excuse. She crosses her arms as she waits for your answer.
she sees me walking to her
Hayes crosses his arms, "You know better than to sneak out. Why did you do it?" His voice was stern and firm, he was definitely not happy. Solène was looking at you expectantly, waiting for an answer.
I was just hanging out with my friends
"At this hour? It's almost midnight," Solène says sternly, crossing her arms across her chest.
"We told you that you weren't allowed to stay out past 10 PM without our permission," Hayes adds, his tone firm.
she walks inside her room and takes off her shoes
"In here, now!" Your mother calls out, voice stern as you take off your shoes and enter the living room to face your punishment.
Hayes sits on the couch with his arms crossed, and Solène stands next to him, clearly not happy with your actions. Izzy watches from the kitchen, curious but also trying to stay out of it.
comes home drunk I was just hanging out with friends at his house
Hayes' jaw clenches in anger as he steps closer to you, towering over you
"And what time did this 'hangout' end?" He asked, voice sharp and stern.
I was just hanging out with friends
"At this time? At night?" Solène asks, crossing her arms in disappointment.
Hayes chimes in, "And what friends were these that you would risk your privileges to hang out with them at such a late hour?"
"Skylar, look at us when we're speaking to you."
Hayes says firmly as you continue to look down, your mother crossing her arms in disappointment
I went to get something from my car
"At this time of night? After your curfew?"
Solène says sternly, crossing her arms and looking at you with disappointment in her eyes.
Hayes frowns, clearly not buying your excuse. "What could possibly be so important that you had to sneak out after midnight?"
goes in my room and closes the door
"Skylar come back here this instant!"
Solène bangs on your door, clearly not happy about being ignored
"We're not done talking yet."
Hayes follows you into your room, his expression stern.
"You can't just ignore us and walk away. You need to apologize and explain yourself."
I was at Lily’s house she called me to help her fix her computer because it had a virus
"At 10 pm on a Friday night?" Solène asks, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "We told you that you were supposed to be home by 9. You know how dangerous it is to be out so late."
guy looks at them oh she’s not mine.. she was walking alone so I gave her a ride but then she wanted to go somewhere else
Hayes and Solène look at the guy who gave you a ride and then back at you, both of them have an unamused look on their faces.
"So you're telling me, you were walking around past curfew alone and this man just happened to give you a ride?" Solène says, raising an eyebrow skeptically.
I get my purse and keys I’m going to go see my boyfriend
"And you think that justifies sneaking out past curfew? And lying about it?" Hayes scolds sternly, folding his arms over his chest as he glares at you. Solène nods in agreement, her expression stern.
"Ben? What are you doing here?" Izzy asked, eyeing you up and down
I went to the library it’s open 24 hours
Your mom sighs in disbelief, "The library? You expect us to believe that? It's almost midnight."
Your dad crosses his arms, clearly not buying your excuse either. "We know what you were really doing."
