First of all, everyone has times of low, but when it comes down to it it's inexcusable to lie about this sort of thing, especially when entering a relationship with the person who owns the place. Whether intended to look like it or not, it just makes the person look power hungry using every means they can to climb the so to speak social ladder of the community. I've seen it too many times to count to not see it that way and only that way.
Second of all, I'm not going to call this brave at all. Brave would have been telling everyone before you got caught. Brave would have been telling the person you're in a false relationship before someone else did. Brave would have been being yourself and not even lying in the first place about something.
Also rupe brings up probably the best point here. This was something needing to be apologized to the girl whose picture you've been using, not us. Her and Ame are the ones you need to talk to, not us.
