In both situations, it is important to be honest with your parents and friends about the reasons why you weren't where you said you would be. It is understandable that things can come up unexpectedly, but communication is key in maintaining trust in your relationships.

For situation 1, you can explain to your parents that you needed a book from the library and that's why you were in town instead of at your friend's house studying. Apologize for not informing them of the change in plans and assure them that you were still doing something productive.

For situation 2, reach out to your friends and explain that you were actually ill in bed and couldn't make it to the cinema as planned. Apologize for not informing them earlier and let them know that you value their friendship and wouldn't want to miss out on spending time with them unless necessary. Communication and honesty are key in maintaining strong relationships.
