let me tell you all the story about the time where my bestie and i told a lie so intricate that it managed to last an entire year. So around like january/february the part of our class that took spanish watched the movie Encanto in class for fun and my friend and i both had crushes on some of the characters and we were teasing each other about it with like codenames and this one obnoxious kid asked about it and my bestie (slick as ever) told them it was about my boyfriend who we decided to name Andrew. And we convinced them that Andrew was real using my sisters phone number (thank you, kiddo) and photos we found online. And they actually believed us. They legitimately believed I had a boyfriend named Andrew and then we told them that I ‘broke up’ with Andrew and got a girlfriend named Leia (also fake but we went even more in depth for her) around Valentine’s day. And when I tell you we crafted these intricate backstories for these people i’m not kidding.
We made up fake siblings for these people, we made fake instagram accounts, fake everything. It was incredible how we managed to convince these kids that these people were real. Although we’d known most of these kids for 11 years so they were easier to manipulate. But we finally spilled the beans after we’d graduated from middle school and honestly i’m not sure they realize that we’re telling the truth that these people aren’t real.
