Oh God, my head really hurts. Yesterday's party was wild. I hope my dad hasn't realized that I didn't come home to sleep. Surely he must continue sleeping. I better go to my room before he notices.

"Charles, is that you? Charles, is that you?"

Downstairs. Oh no. "Yeah, um, it's me. Don't worry, you just keep sleeping. I'm going to go back to my room."

"Don't worry, I only got up to drink some water, but I'm very sleepy. It's still very early, it's Sunday morning, so you keep sleeping. We will have breakfast together later, okay?"

I think he's already asleep. I will go up to my room without making noise.

"So you just woke up, huh, Charles? You have just arrived?"

"No, Dad, listen, I can explain it to you. I was in my room."

"Don't lie to me. You're going to tell me where you were last night, right now."

"Uh, Dad, I was at Tim's house. You know, we were, um, playing video games."

"Video games all night? And why do you smell like alcohol, huh? Don't lie to me, Charles."

"It's not what you think. I, uh, I accidentally spilled a drink on my shirt. That's all."

"Are you serious? Stop lying to me, Charles. I raised you better than this. You think I don't know? I can see it in your eyes. You've been drinking."

"Relax, it's not a big deal. I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself."

"Not a big deal? Coming home drunk isn't a big deal? You've changed, Charles. This isn't the boy I raised. What's happening to you? Why are you doing this?"

"Nothing is happening, Dad. I'm just growing up. Can't you see that? I went to a party, okay? I had some drinks. It's normal. Don't exaggerate."

"What's normal? Since when is lying to your father normal? You used to be honest with me, Charles. Now you can't even tell me the truth, can you?"

"Stop that. Just stop. I don't need a lecture right now."

"You don't need a lecture? All right, tell me the truth then. Where were you?"

"All right, if you want to know, I can tell you everything. Okay, I went to a party. It was Ron's birthday. He threw a party at his home. That's all."

"That's all? You have been drinking alcohol, right? Tell me."

"Yes, just a little. But it's normal. Everyone my age does it. Dad, I went to a party and I had fun. I drank a little alcohol, but that's all."

"Enough, enough. I can't believe it. What have I taught you all this time?"

"Again with that? Just stop. I don't need a lecture right now."
