AITA for telling my parents my sister lied about being at my chess tournament with me?
My sister Maddie (14F) asked me (16M) to tell our parents she came with me to a tournament two Saturdays ago. She actually went to a party across town with friends I don't know. I said fine, mostly because I didn't want the argument. My dad texted me during round three asking how Maddie liked watching. I panicked and said good, she's just quiet. That should have been the end of it, but my mom mentioned it to the party host's mom at the grocery store, small town stuff, and the whole thing unraveled by Sunday. My parents sat me down and asked directly if Maddie was actually with me. I could have kept lying but I didn't see the endgame in it, so I told them the truth. Maddie got grounded for three weeks, no phone except for group chats with family. She says I sold her out and that I only cared about saving myself once things got risky. She hasn't spoken directly to me in five days, just relays messages through our mom. My parents think I did the right thing eventually, just too late. My mom keeps saying I should have refused from the start instead of covering at all. Maddie's friends are apparently calling me a snitch. I keep replaying it and I'm not sure which move actually mattered, the first lie or the last truth.
