Its easier in the long run just to tell the truth and take the punishment..lies lead to more lies and the truth always comes out in the end...then you will get punished for staying out late/with some one Mom don't care for as well as telling lies....

Why are you skulking about lying to your mother about where you are at? What is so wrong with telling her the truth? Part of the reason she would be so mad, I suggest, would be because she doesn't trust you/the friend. You are not exactly helping her in this by lying to her about where you are going and then coming home an hour and a half later than she asked you to.
I think you should tell her the truth from the start. Then you wouldn't be feeling so bad about it and about to ask your friend to lie for you too. She will find out anyway one way or another. Probably the family friend that you are being deceitful with will have great pleasure in telling your mum what you've been up to.
There is more than likely a valid reason why your mum does not want you mixing with this girl and you would be better off finding out what that is and being truthful with your mum than getting stressed trying to cover your tracks.

Just fess up. Surely your mom won't be as mad at you for going to a female family member's house as she would if you were out doing something bad. You should never lie to your mother. It will make her not trust you. I know right now you feel like she don't know what's best but the truth is she does. We were all teenagers at some point and most of us had overbearing mothers. The ones who didn't wish they would have. Just tell her the truth and face the consequences. Good Luck!

The truth will set you free... Well, maybe not at first, but I promise you it will all come out in the end and you might as well tell your mom the truth now and get it over with. Tell her you lied to her, because that is what you did. You asked her for permission to go someplace and you had no intention of going and you lied. That is a bad habit to get into and when she does find out on her own (and she will), she will never trust you again. It is time to stand up and take your lumps like the adult you want to be treated like. Tell her you lied to her and where you really went, at least you will not have to remember two lies...

Just tell the truth and get you punishment. And ask for some discount on your punishment for a little delayed honesty. Or let your mom call Alex and learn the truth herself and get a double punishment that you may not do the same again.
For better you can discuss that even she doesn't love your friend she's YOUR friend that you can see. Any forbid may make you lie as you did now. Just try your mom understand this

It's never OK to lie to your parents. Most of the time if they don't want you around someone they have a good reason. Sorry, but you need to suffer the consequences of your actions. Your parents need to know where you are. What happens if there's some kind of emergency and they don't know where you are and ca't get a hold of you? Or maybe something happens to you (car accident, abduction, your car breaks down) and nobody knows where you were to begin with. They would be looking for you in the wrong area. It's a safety thing. They aren't trying to ruin your fun. They just want to make sure your safe.

Well... you have 2 strikes against you... lying and being late... right now she only knows you were late getting home... is she going to check to see where you were... if so go ahead and fess up... and get the *** chewing over with ... maybe she won't be too hard on you... it gets to messy when you lie to cover a lie and then you may have to lie again to cover that lie... be a big girl and tell the truth... tell her that you have to be honest and that might impress her that you had to tell the truth... you'll never know until you try... I know this isn't what you wanted to hear... but i still wish you good luck with it all...

Yeah, as a parent I will tell you. STOP LYING TO YOUR MOM!! There is nothing worse for a parent then not knowing where their child is. I would lose my mind if I didnt know where my dauther was. Daddys little girl better be telling me the truth. And you should be telling your mom the truth.

Sooner or later, your mom will find out the truth for sure and you might get punished even more than if you had just told her the truth. Your mom is your true best friend even if you don't see it yet. You will... in time. Good luck.

Be mature about this - tell your mom the truth. She will find out sooner or later. If you don't, your credibility with her will be gone, and she won't trust you with anything important from now on.
Or you can be immature, make up a story, and dig yourself deeper and deeper into a hole. It's your choice.
