Ok so I want to get something across first:
I'm a shit liar.
Like I'm not even kidding it's kind of pitiful when I try to lie. But on serveral occasions I have actually pulled it off, and pretty well I might add. My favorite although was probably when I had first started high school. I had just turned 14 and I had no friends obviously, so i kind of told a little white lie about being foreign.
OK, maybe some back story is in order. I've always liked to do accents and crap like that and my most developed and convincing accent was at that time a fake british accent. (It wasn't actually all that good but it's not like Americans that had never been to Britain would know right? Exactly!)
So when the little freshman connection workshop thing teacher called on me I did the accent whilst I introduced myself and it worked like a charm. Everyone actually thought I was British and this was the most hilarious thing to me.

I googled britain and this came up are you kidding me.
In retrospect I probably shouldn't have lied about that since it was such a pain to keep the accent up all the time. But when it did finally come out that I wasn't British and it was a fake accent instead of being met with hostility I was met with "Oh my god that was really convincing." And I did get some friends out of it granted then I was drafted into IB (Yes drafted, IB is a war zone I shit you not.) and then I was separated from those friends.
And that's how that story ends.
