Empty Threat

Did I ever mention that, Jamie is like a mini me?

Despite the astrological difference, there are just too many similarities between the 2 of us, I feel at times.

The way she buy things like she has a lot of money, ha ha ha

The amount of chocolate she could lay her hands on and stuff herself with it

Not to mention she copied my current hairstyle, had a red specs and have clothes that the mini size of mine. Hmm... machiam my die-hard fan siah. (I is bhb again)

Anyway, so to say, Jamie's many actions reminded of myself and very often, I know what she was thinking.

Something was not right when Jamie told me on Monday that she has to stay back on Wed to do some Science project research. It was weird coz it seemed like she had the plan brewing in her for a long time. The excuse was too well planned to me and for someone so blur like her, it is weird. So, I told her, don't stay in school, ask her friend to come to our house to do, got food, got drink, got computer mah! What a nice place to do research, right?

Then on Tues, she said her friend couldn't make it. Ok, fine, can't make it, then Jamie will have to come home.

Then on Wed, after I had waited for her 10 mins outside the school gate, she called me on my mobile that her form teacher requested that she stayed back in school to help another teacher to do something...

Very very not right... Why so coincidentally that she has to stay back to help teachers after she told me her fren cannot stay back for the research? Anyway, I asked her what time would it end, so that I could come and pick her up. She said 2.30pm. Fine.

So I got home, wanted to email the form teacher whether Jamie was speaking the truth. But then, I don't want the teacher to have a bad impression of Jamie, and i scared she will confront Jamie in the whole class and embarassed her. So I didn't email.

I went to fetch Jamie at 2.15pm, as it was a 15mins walk to school. At 2.20pm, Jamie called me and asked where am I?

Now, based on our past experiences, Jamie would always give us a call and determine our location, so that she would have ample time to make like she was indeed in school or doing whatever we thought she was doing. She deployed this tactic the last time she pontan tuition class.

So, I was pretty sure that she wasn't in school helping teacher. So when I saw her, I lied to her that I had emailed the teacher to check whether she was telling the truth and should it not be, she is doomed.

Now, usually in such cases, if she was indeed truthful, she will exclaim loudly, die die also say she is correct. However, this time, she just kept quiet. Eyes look shifty some more.

I think I behaved the exact same way when I was caught playing with friend instead of at an ensemble practise when I was in primary school.

Anyway, at night, I received her full apology plus her own meted punishment in a "love letter" laid on my dressing table. My empty threat worked and I didn't even tell her that the teacher replied or not.

她屁股一翘， 我们都知道是小号还是大号！She can't lied to us at all.
