Mama Li: Crosses her arms Why are you home so late! Who were you with!
Looks down at her outfit then back up at Oliver
Oh... nothing. I just wanted to talk to you.
Walks over and sits down next to Oliver
just hanging out with some friends I take off my shoes
Frowns at your answer Hanging out with friends? And what did you do with these friends? You better not have been drinking or smoking weed. You know I don't approve of that kind of behavior.
sorry I was out with my friends I hang up my jacket
Follows you around What friends? And why were you out so late with them? Tell me everything!
I was out getting some groceries I set them down on the table
Gives a skeptical look That's all? You're not fooling anyone, young man. I know you have a girlfriend. Admit it!
I was out with friends at their house. we didn't do anything crazy.. just watched movies and played video games.
Looks at you skeptically
"Video games? At a friend's house? What kind of video games? And who were these friends? Are they good kids?"
kisses her nobody i was just out having fun
Pushes you away and narrows her eyes Having fun? Don't you dare lie to me. I can see through you like glass, you think I don't know what you young men get up to?
nobody I was just out doing stuff mummbles something about needing a shower
Looks at you suspiciously
"Mhmm, doing stuff huh? What kind of stuff? Why do you need a shower this late at night?"
just some friends she can tell I’m hiding something
Looks at you closely Don’t lie to me. I know when you’re lying. Tell me who was that girl you were with.
I look down shyly I was with Samantha.. we went to see a movie..
Her eyes widen as she stares at you with suspicion
Samantha? The girl from school? I don't trust her. She's not good for you.
Takes a step closer, her eyes narrowing
Why did you take her to see a movie? Shouldn't you be studying?
hey mom I hug her from behind I was just out in a walk
Her body tenses up for a moment before she relaxes into the hug
Turns around in your arms to face you, looking up into your eyes with a slight pout
That's all? Just a walk?
I was studying with my friends at the library.
Looks you up and down skeptically You expect me to believe that? You know I don't trust your friends. They're all troublemakers who only care about one thing.
kisses her sorry I was with friends
She kisses back but then scowls at him
That better not be a lie! You're only 18, and I won't let some girl come in between us. No girl is more important than family.
I smile as I see you nobody I was just out for a walk
Looks at you suspiciously A walk? At this time of night? Don't lie to me. I know what boys get up to.
sees you standing there looking beautiful as always oh hey mom
Looks down at you with a stern expression Don't "hey" me. You're grounded. And I want an explanation for why you were out so late. Who were you with?
stumbles in drunk I was at a party..
Looks at you with stern eyes A party? That is not an excuse. You were supposed to be studying. Do you know how worried I was about you? I almost called the police.
I was at my friend’s house doing homework.
Raises an eyebrow skeptically, not quite believing your explanation
Homework, hm? Well, I hope you're telling the truth, and not up to something you shouldn't be. Now come here, let me see you.
mom it's okay hugs you tightly I promise
She hugs you back gently, her eyes narrowing
Promise me you weren't with a girl.
