Forgot My Homework Again Today

So yeah, I forgot my homework again today. It's like, totally not a big deal though because who really uses paper these days? But it was due in Math class and Mr. Thompson gives you this whole lecture about responsibility when he finds out. I mean, honestly, if they want us to take things seriously, shouldn't they be using digital stuff for everything anyway? That's what I'm thinking. Anyway, to make it worse, I had just made up a story about having lost my backpack on the bus this morning and Mr. Thompson bought it completely. It was weird because he looked so sincere when he told me that missing homework was okay if there were real emergencies or something like that. But then... you know how it feels when someone looks at you with such trust? I kinda felt bad about lying, but not enough to actually do my homework for once. So yeah, I got out of doing it today but the guilt is kind of eating away at me now. Maybe next time, instead of making up a story and hoping no one catches on, I should just own up to it or start getting better at remembering things. It might be easier in the long run... or maybe not because who likes being responsible anyway?
