he didn't lie, he just forgot to tell them. i guess you could call it lying by omission, but that would only be relevant the day of. and since he had to get em out of there, and didn't want to deal with a lecture, i can't really justify calling him scum.
This was kinda annoying. I mean, why show up EXACTLY at 2pm? Hell, it was stupid to set a time anyway, who the f*k tells their parents "you gotta go at 2pm", for this b**** of a woman?
