First of all, i live in Bolivia, and original stuff is expensive.

Ok well i have this friend. I don't like him very much becaue he always follows me around (i'm the loner in my school) and people always make jokes about us going out and whistling when they see us together. The only solution i could come up with is just act cold towards him because I feel as if he's just follows me because he feels sorry for me and stuff....
Well, like 2 weeks ago, i borrowed 2 CDs from him, but the thing is that i lost one of them (or it got stolen ) and i've been telling him that i forget it alot, then, i told him it got stuck in my CD player that needs electricity to eject, but now it's just a matter of time before he finds out. The good thing is that i have 3 weeks to find out what to do (because it's winter vacation here in bolivia)
I WOULD buy him a new CD, but i don't have enough money to do anything. His CD was an original from the US, and here it would be like $15-20 US, but for me that's really expensive because $1 US = 7.90 bs$ so that's anywhere between 118.5 bs$ and 158 bs$!!!
Should i tell him and try to buy the original or should i buy a copy that looks like the original?? (if one even exists!!! )

you should tell him!!! and yess you need to buy him the CD!!! tell him its gonna take time for you to buy a new one... and he should understand!! save up money to buy him one!!!

You should stage a military coup, overthrow the government, and declare communism so everyone can share their CDs.

you should tell him the truth! remember to say thanks. lol. you should treat him to lunch or something.. as friends.

tell him the truth, then offer to pay him for it..... the truth is the best choice....not necessarily easy, but almost always the best

what mai said.

u kno u made things worse by lieing in the first place.

but ya they r right

ditto

wow. that sucks really bad. i think you should tell him the truth. but also, save up your money for as long as you can. like... ALOT!!! so you can help pay for at least some of the expense. also, i think you should really do your best to look for it. GOOD LUCK!!!

ooo man that suks. i think u should tell him the truth. mayb he'll understand

isn't the inflation higher?...

well, just tell him...

what kind of cd is this anyways??

maybe if you procrastinate long enough he`ll forget...

my friend forgot about her ps2 games which costed $170 total, and she lended them to my friend. she never asked him about them ever again. well...she is rich in fact..........

just tell him the truth and get it over with!!!

Thanks so much you guys! I'm gonna look REALLY hard for it and if i really really REALLY can't find it, i'll fess up. I'll see if my bro in the US can send me something to help buy a new CD
And by the way, it's a linkin park CD "Meteora" or something

are u serious? meterora? u can get that for like 5 bucks now!!
but yeah, u should him the truth, even if u dont like him

tell him and apologize for lying....
its not a good thing u did

if your bro's in the US, then he could probably buy metorora for 5-10 dollars and send it over.

and tell him no matter what.

he probably likes you anyways. if he's still around you, making efforts to be your friend, and you've been cold to him?

You should tell him the truth now. It's better than having him find out the truth himself.

And about the money value... I totally feel you girl. USD1 equals to RM3.80. Prices of original CDs are crazy! But I think he should understand. You could offer to buy a new one for him when you collect enough money.
