Could I get in trouble for requesting a day off?

For context the store I work at is around several schools (3 or 4) and tomorrow is the last day of school for practically all of them. I requested the day off after last year because it was such a shit show. For the life of me I couldn’t remember why I took it off for a while until today. I said something around my SM along the lines of “Ohhh now I remember why I took tomorrow off. It’s cause it’s the last day of school!” To which he looked at me and asked if I took it off because I knew it was going to be super busy. I simply said it was because I went to one of the schools and didn’t want to possible run into others that I went to school with (this isn’t a lie, it’s just not entirely the truth). Could I get in trouble for requesting a day off because I knew it was going to be busy??
