Although Roy and Beatrice make up a story about doing a science experiment, and that could be considered "exaggerating" his homework responsibilities, I think this question refers to what happens in chapter 14 when Roy exaggerates his homework responsibilities to Mullet Fingers. In this chapter, Roy visits Mullet Fingers in the Jo-Jo's ice cream truck the day after the emergency room incident. They discuss why Mullet Fingers is so passionate about saving the owls on the Mother Paula's property. Mullet Fingers shows Roy the form letter he received from Chuck Muckle—a letter that proves Mullet Fingers tried to deal with the company politely before resorting to pranks and vandalism.
Mullet Fingers then invites Roy to go to the Mother Paula's property with him that night. Roy "only had one short chapter to read for Mr. Ryan's history class," but he tells Mullet Fingers that he can't join him because he'll be doing homework. Roy believes what Mullet Fingers is doing is illegal, and he doesn't want to be part of anything that will get him in trouble with the law. Since Roy's dad is in law enforcement with the DOJ, he is particularly wary of doing anything that might result in his "facing his parents through jail bars."
