cover story

When your crush finds out you like him/her, so you make a big story of why it isn't true.

Your friend: Didn't he find out you like him?
You: Yea, but I just told him my cover story instead. He doesn't know anymore.

Cover story

1. a plausible account used to excuse the presence of a spy

2. any alibi

That was probably just cover story they tried to give me.
