stalling the time

"Oh dear, you are expecting from a wrong person, Alex did not have the capacity to jump on the ground, let alone jump on the wall.

If you are that adventurous, you should have chosen someone like me." added the man walking towards them.

Bella blinked her eyes as she listened to the nonsense the man was spouting "Who is he, Alex?" she asked once the man stood in front of them, proudly as a peacock.

"No, i don't know him." said Alex and Bella blinked, she knew that Alex was lying, her system checked it.

But this was the first time Alex was lying to him, she had detected doubts and uncertainty from him, many times but this was the first it was an utter blatant lie, he was also releasing negative vibes, when he hardly did.

"Oh, dear, if you want to know about me, ask me, why are you asking that loser. I am Jamie, we used to be classmates once, but now he is a drop out and I am the university topper and basketball team's captain." he replied proudly.
