"Okay, he's gone. What were you doing in Jessie's room? And no lying, because you've been acting strange since you arrived in my house," Haley said, facing me, expecting an answer. She stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes sharp and focused.
Well, I couldn't make up excuses. Not with her staring me down like that. I had to tell her the truth. My shoulders slumped as I let out a breath.
"Jessie said she was going to show me a picture of me in some school yearbook. I was trying to look for the book."
"That's trespassing. My brother could have reported you," she said, her voice dropping to a whisper as if Antonio might still be listening from the hallway.
"Well, are you going to report me?" I challenged, looking her in the eye.
"I wish I could, but I don't want to get on Princess's bad side… but my brother doesn't care."
