I Gave My Best Friend A Fake Excuse To Avoid A Group Hang

I told my best friend, Sam, I had a doctor's appointment to avoid going on a group hang. I knew it was silly because the weather was perfect and everyone seemed excited. But I just couldn't muster up the energy or enthusiasm for socializing that day. Now, weeks later, every time we meet, I get this weird mix of guilt and relief when I remember how easy it was to lie about something so trivial.
