The next hour was spent walking around afraid to go home and face the music, so another moment of madness I returned to the house and told my friend’s father my parents had asked me to inquire how much it would cost to repair, not entering my head how I could raise the money or avoid the consequences. Luck must have been on my side, realizing it was an accident, let me off for my so-called honesty owning up saying he would let my parents deal with me, end of. On tenterhooks for the whole of the weekend was an understatement, terrified my parents would get to know.
