then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him my real age, he wouldn’t want to know me, 
as I’m only 13.
 After the dicso we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday we went for a burger and had a real 
laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a 
couple of times a week, but I’ve had to lie to my parents about where I’m going and who with. I’ve always got on with 
them, but I know if they found out how Tom was they’d stop me seeing him.
 Now I really don’t know what to do. I can’t go on lying to my parents every time I go out, and Tom keeps asking

 5. Which of these answers did Mandi receive?
