I Never Told a Lie, and That Makes Me a Liar

“I can’t do this all by myself!” I yelled to Leila while trying to set up the band’s merchandise table. When I looked up at her to chastise her for leaving the perfectly incompetent me to do all the dirty work (get the reference? punny), I noticed something odd. She was standing at the railing looking down to the stage, totally zoned out. I followed her eyeline and was surprised at where it landed.
She was staring at Alex… not Zack.
I sense trouble a brewing.
