i went to the library as we decided. he was waiting for me in front of the library with his usual smile. ''not late'' adam let out while i grinned as i met him.

''i know'' i talked with a similar polite smile. we both went inside and moved to go through some books and stuff. ''is my brother still problematic?'' adam murmured to me lowly while glimpsing through a few pages of some arbitrary book. ''a little bit, but its bearable'' i said and ran my finger through the large bunch number of books. ''he is not evil though'' adam uttered again bringing about me to wonder a little bit about why he was bringing up this topic up so frequently. ''wanna gossip about it?'' ''its just i never get to know a lot about him. he doesn't even look at me so i am always curious about him. i am sorry to bother you. i don't mean to'' he let out very softly with so much ahony in his voice. i felt sorry for being so pessimistic about him.

''oh no, i don't mean like that. no its not a bother. he's great its just that he lacks a lot of manners. when i say a lot i mean a lot.'' i spoke up rolling my eyes and adam giggled at me. i am truly beginning to feel empathy for adam. its not his mistake, so he doesnt deserve how daniel is treating him. 3 hours passed by and we both had our head low, examining the books and preparing notes. we didn't talk much as we were more taken away by our books.

just a few moments later adam's phone rang and he had to make his way out of the library to not disturb anyone else.

he came back in after a minute or so. making the most apologetic face he spoke, ''sorry, i have to leave. my dad is coming by for some work. do yo mind if i?'' i could sense the hurry through his voice and immediately nodded.

''its fine. we will catch up later. go'' i spoke snickering at making him understand that it was completely fine. he picked up his bag and mouthing me the final sorry, he dashed out of the library. being left alone in the library, i could concentrate for long. my mind, going through various stupid things, again and again, wasn't supporting much either. i settled there for another 3 hours but soon got worn out. i raised my hand and took a glimpse at the watch to see that it was already 6 in the evening. i decided to head back to the dorm and maybe call dad to refresh my mind a little. i packed up all my things and started to walk back to my dorm. i entermed my building and climbed up to my floor.

as soon as i came in front of my room, i gave attention to some faint noises from inside. is daniel back so soon on Saturday? i went in expecting to find out daniel and preparing myself to stay cool at anything he says but as soon as i got in the sight in front me left me astonished. in front of me, angela was laying on top of some random boy. both of them, half naked, having an intimate make-out session going on. ''what the hell?'' i sounded off loudly and angrily as i shut the door loudly behind me. both of them stopped with surprise. angela grabbed the sheets over her. ''cant you knock?'' angela disputed me back with much more bitterness in her voice. ''what are you doing here?'' the guy laying on the bed piped up.

''this is my room! what are you doing her?'' i took a stride ahead. ''having the time of our life which you really don't seem to ever have had'' angela rudely rpelied. my anger was boosting. seriously? how did they even get in. ''i don't want you here. please get out'' i mumbled trying to calm myself down. ''well, its not just yours but daniel's as well.'' does she really think just because that asshole gave her permission i will let her have sex in our room? ''so you are not gonna get out?'' i asked in a very indignant manner. it was the last time i was asking her.

''or what?'' the boy on whom angela was sitting talked showing pure pride. ''ok, lets see what your father has to say about it'' i announced and headed out of the room angrily slamming the door behind me. i could hear angela jumping off the bed and then opening the door, crying out behind me. ''maya, i swear if you there'' she yelled into the halls and everyone's eyes laid on me. i ignored everything and walked to the director's room.

the directors office was just a 3 minute walk. this is it. this is not fine for me. i reached in front of the office, not being a mad woman i first went to the receptionist.

''can i meet sir?'' i spoke politely but a sense of rush of outrage in my voice clearly visible. but she definitely didn't get it at first. ''how about later. he is a bit busy. is it important?'' she asked me while hey eyes were fixed to the computer screen.

''i caught his daughter with someone in my room'' i said blandly. the receptionists eyes widened and she looked up at me with pure expression of shock. the receptionist understood that the matter was definitely something that needed to be spoke about. ''wait a minute'' she spoke and dialed some number. my phone suddenly rang in my pocket. i took a glance at it and it was adam. i was about to pick it up when the voice of the receptionist caught me off. ''go in'' i settled my phone onto silent and opened the door slightly. ''can i come in?'' i said in a soft tone.

''yes please'' the voice of the director called me in. i went inside the big office. i never thought i would visit the director's office and that also just in a week. ''please take a seat'' the director spoke. ''angela, your daughter, was with some random guy in my room. anything that bothers me is that it was my room and i didnt give permission. my roommate, daniel seavey, handed her his keys so she could use the room'' i explained to him the whole situation trying to sound sensible. ''i am sorry miss...'' he took a pause.

''maya vargas'' i revited my name. ''maya. i understand. it is inappropriate and unacceptable. i will make sure to take action on angela, your roommate and the other boy'' he added up with a tone to reassure me. ''can't i just change my room?'' i pleaded.

it was really uncomfortable for me to share a room with daniel. he is just going to keep calling trouble. he's the trouble himself.

''look maya, i get it but its just the start. changing the room would be a little inconvenient for everyone, even the janitors. besides there are no other vacant rooms. don't worry. i will make sure to get them in place. nothing like this will ever happen again. you have my word'' he spoke with his eyebrows being furrowed. i nodded politely.

i got up from the chair. i was about to unlock the door and leave when i heard the director's voce. ''it would be better if you don't speak about this out. its a request, please.'' he had a saddened expression on his face. i nodded a yes. i understand it will be embarrassing for him to have stories about his daughter being spread all over the campus. i got out of the room. the receptionist had the same worrying look on her face. after getting off the office, i took a deep breath.

more than angela i hold daniel accountable for today's incident. none of this would have happened if he didnt give away his key. i pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that i had almost 15 missed calls from adam. what does he have to tell me?
