My dad believes the neighbour ate his cake. But it was not true, for it was I who ate it!

Low key stakes I know, but it was last day of school before the holidays and I came home at lunchtime and they were having a BBQ.

The cake was sitting on the side on pre sliced plates and I just grabbed a bit and went up to my room, but then out the window I heard him having a sort of argument accusing the neighbour of taking his cake.

I should have said something in the moment but I just kinda froze, and the longer I left it the harder it would be to do it. Then the neighbour said ‘it was probably [myname]’ and my dad was all ‘she would know better than to take a cake without asking’ which just made it worse so I hid in my room like a coward 😂 and now I just want it all to be undone.
