Breaking into a broad, twisted grin, Delilah laughed softly. "Really? Are you going to lie, Mandy?" Her voice was acrid with contempt.Recoiling at the use of her childhood name, which Delilah only used to anger her, Amanda bit down the urge to turn and walk away. She raised her head and defiantly looked into Delilah's challenging gaze and replied, "No, I'm not going to lie, especially not to my parents...at least, not if I can help it, but I will find a way to be at the party. I might just tell them that I'm going over to your house, which will be true, won't it, and we can go to the party from there. That won't be lying now, would it?"Luscious laughter slid from Delilah's lips as she lifted her head and looked at the sky. "My, my, Amanda, you're starting to break out of your cage now, aren't you?"Teenage rebellion, lies, deceit, ungodly friends, and the desire to break away from her parents pull Amanda into a world which she is ill-equipped to handle.
