Tell Me Lies

Hey, Lucy. It's been a while.

Merry Christmas, James.

Does he come by here a lot?

Oh, I don't know what you consider a lot.

I was alone with my dad, and then he just died.

Found out later my mom had been out fucking that guy James.

The mom cheating on the dad while he's dying?

This was some really, really strong work, Lucy.

Your girlfriend's texting someone else right in front of your face.

What?

Pippa doesn't know about the accident.

Sorry, dude. I, I really thought he told you.

- Told me what? - He told Pippa.

- You need some help, dude? - I got it.

- I'm trying... - Drew, stop!

Drew was there the night Macy had her accident.

Stephen knows.

He's threatened me not to tell you.

I wouldn't be with him if I didn't want to be, so just stop it.

- I don't know why you keep protecting him. - You know why.

Nobody knows that you were in that car. Drew doesn't even know.

He should not be here.

You're absolutely right,

but there's nothing we can do about it.

- Andrew Wrigley? - Uh, yeah.

My name is Sharon.

I work in the office of dean of students,

and this is Officer Dan.

May we speak with you for a few moments?

Uh, is there something wrong?

That's why we're here, actually.

To make sure nothing's wrong.

What's this about?

Why don't we talk in your dorm?

How you doing, Drew?

Fine. Good.

What about your classes?

Uh, yeah, good.

I took a look at your transcripts.

You had a tough first semester.

Uh, it's been hard adjusting.

Guess I wasn't prepared for the college workload.

We received this a few days ago.

Can you tell us anything about what's in the letter?

Uh, I don't know anything about this.

Do you know why someone would send it?

I have no idea.

I didn't even know Macy.

Okay.

Thanks for speaking with us.

Just to be clear, you're not in any trouble.

We're looking into it, and we'll let you know-

if anything arises.

If anything a arises?

I thought I wasn't in trouble.

For now, yes.

But we have an obligation to look into it.

If you're telling the truth, it should be fine.

- Hey. - Oh, my God.

You scared me.

You feeling okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Hey, have you heard from, uh, from Wrigley-

the past couple days, or Drew?

No, not really.

Why?

I don't know, no reason.

You still wanna get food, in town?

Yeah, I'm so sick of my meal plan.

What?

- Give me the towel. - No.

Please?

No.

Please?

Jesus.

Oh, Lucy.

Hey.

How are you?

Uh, Max, this is Stephen.

Stephen, Max.

- Nice to meet you. - What's up?

- How have you been? - Great, yeah.

Uh, you know. You good?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm good, good.

Great, well, I, uh, I better be going.

But it was nice to meet you, Stephen.

Yeah, you too.

See ya.

I've always wondered about the people that live here.

The locals.

What's that guy Max do?

Um, his family owns Stella's,

and he manages it.

Hmm.

How does he know you?

I, I went in there a few times, first semester.

And you hooked up with him?

Yeah.

A lot?

Just a couple times.

You were a lot busier back then.

I bet he liked you.

He did, yeah.

Did you let him fuck you?

Yeah, I did.

I wanted him to.

What was that like?

It was good.

Anytime I called him, he'd basically drop-

- anything he was doing to come and fuck me.

Hmm.

And he always wanted to be sweet with me.

He'd only be rough with me if I begged him.

Did you beg him?

- Sometimes. - Yeah.

He liked it when I was on top of him so he could see me.

And then when we were done fucking, he didn't wanna let go of me.

He just wanted to keep holding me.

I don't need to hear about fucking cuddling.

Are you actually upset right now?

No.

What is it?

Um,

- it's just a weird email from my professor.

She wants me to come see her tomorrow.

Do you know what it's about?

It's probably nothing.

Hey.

Just looking for Bree.

She's in the laundry room.

We're gonna go study at the quad.

Yeah, she invited me.

Oh.

Look, if you're worried that I'm gonna tell someone-

what you told me, I'm not, okay.

About Drew.

Don't worry, I'm not mad at you.

Wow, thanks.

Hey.

Sorry, that dryer takes forever.

You guys ready to go?

Yeah.

Wow.

Lucy, you should try to go see the Amber Palace-

when you're in India this summer.

- Look at this place. - Oh yeah, maybe.

I might not go till next summer, though.

Really?

Yo!

Hey, come sit with us.

I'm actually getting food with Kelly.

Oh, cute.

That's why you didn't come home last night.

I'll see you guys later.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey.

So are they like dating, dating? Or just hanging out?

For sure hanging out. It's been, like, three days.

I don't know, they spent the last two nights together.

So why are you postponing your trip to India?

I don't know, I've just been thinking about it-

- and it just might be nice to stay close this summer.

Where's Stephen gonna be this summer?

I don't know. Depends on what internship he does.

But somewhere in New York, right? Somewhere close?

Yeah, probably somewhere in New York.

That's too bad. I know that trip was really important to you.

Well, fortunately, India will still be there next summer.

I double checked.

Well, I'll be waitressing in Jersey all summer.

Very excited.

Hey.

Hi.

You look pretty.

Thanks.

Are you gonna be ready for dinner in time?

I've got reservations in 20 minutes.

Oh shit, I forgot.

I am, I'm so sorry, so sorry.

That's okay.

No, I'm an asshole.

Just... I just have to pack this stuff up-

and drop it off and change.

Just give me 10 minutes.

Pippa, it's fine, it's fine.

You're way too nice to me.

Come on in, Lucy.

Hi.

Have a seat.

W-What's... is everything okay?

Unfortunately, I don't think it is.

An issue has come up with your short story-

we work shopped in January.

Okay, what?-what kind of issue?

Baird requires I run everything-

through plagiarism software.
