My Favorite Lie

"Hey, Sam!" Roxanne whispered. "Eric texted. He wanted me to give him another chance.""Look," I whispered back, making sure the teacher won't hear her talking. "Eric is a good guy. Just let him explain. I know he had his reasons why he lied to you about his ex.""I don't know if I can forgive him. I am so confused right now, Sam.""Just let him explain. Hear him out. After that, you can decide if he's still worth it."Roxanne nodded. "You're right. Okay. I'll meet him after class. I'll see you at home then."Sam agreed."So, one Newton is the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second,” said Mr. Collins.
