Nancy's POV
Who would have thought a week ago,things would turn out this way between all of us?
I have grown safe distance from Adiva and her tactis,I despise her to the point of not
There was no doubt in my mind,that i shall never forgive her anyday and also the realisation dawned upon me,that Kevin owes me some answers himself.
On friday evening,I take seat in a distant bar and ring Kevin to reach there.
He approaches with guilt covered face and I feel like snapping at him, instead intoxication makes me laugh at his puppy guilty face.
"Why did you have to do this to me?"
"You are drunk Nancy and this is not the right time"
"Right time my foot,yes,I am drunk and I intend to get more high but you are not going away unless you answer me"
"I had no choice"
"Drink up you player,give us a toast"
"I m going to get you a drink,I hope you know how to drink like a gentleman,because you obviously didnot behave like one"I laugh.
"Adriana tells me,there is a fine line between being a man and a gentleman,and thats the tyle of toys you play with" I laugh more.
He began to speak but I keep my finger at his lips to shut him.
"Before you start lying again,let me tell you that I saw you in the locker room a week back with Adiva and have been seeing you getting cosy with uour 2 girl gang and lately Derby is part of your union too.
"Watch out,if she may fascinate you aswell"I compiled.
"I hope this association will improve your ability of picking things"
"Just wait and listen to me Nancy,gimme a chance please"
"Forever,Kevin,I shall wait forever to see you regret at your life's decision"
"Dont worry,I ll be here to see you again"
And I exit the place while Kevin stood up to follow me out but I stop him with a warning.
***
Its been days now,life has been so unhappening and I se this association of Adiva,Derby amd Kevin fondly enjoying in each others company while we have split into 2 groups with Me,Adriana,Ivan and Jamie.
I knew Ivan's little crush on me from the beginning,Now I find Its the right time to air it,for I need to spite Kevin,since I feel,I still have an impact on him and he has on occassion tried to strike a conversation with me,but I never let him succeed in his endeavor.
I have begun spending much time in Ivam's company,knowing him more and more each time is a good feeling,that somebody loves you so much to try to make things work out in differnt manner.I play hard to get as my intentions are not to get wooed.
***
Time slips and here it comes,the examination time,Adriana and Jamie are already into books from a long time but I feel miserable and helpless with the lack of study material and clearence of concepts.
I decide to take time off and mix up with Adriana and Jamie's study time to learn something in their company,later Ivan helps me occassionaly or sometimes I do.
In no time the exam stress replaces all the other thoughts,pushing them in the back of my mind.
I m all mind,eyes and ears to my text as I wish to pass this year without getting flunked.
There is a set of assignments that is to be submitted before exams,As I go for submission,I check out to see Kevin's assignment is still pending and today is the last submission day.
I spend next two hours devoting to the new assignment and submit it with kevin's name before the time runs out.
I donot want to answer myself of what made me do this?
I choose to let the thought slip by and immerse back into my exam stress,study,eat,sleep routine.
Its a long week of exams to be followed by a week long vacation.
I fight my urge to talk to Kevin,give him one chance ti atleast explain himself.
I had a short mumbled argument with myself and my wiser side wins,telling me no ammendment needs to be made to ratify any changes.
Adriana reminds me of the farewell meet tomorrow.
I hear about a few of our classmates quitting.
I prepare myself rehearsing mentally ,preparing speech and all the answers.
It shall be the first time ever in an year that we ll seperate for a long month.
***
It is saturday and the farewell party is orgainsed for few of the classmates who are quiting the college there after or migrating.
I dress up my best and help Adriana select her outfit and also with mascara and liner,since she is so incapable of applying even basic.
"It reminds me of the freshers welcoming party" Adriana comments.
"Somewhat,but things have changed too much since then."I comprehend.
"Indeed"she replies.
Ivan takes my hand as we reach and Adriana leaves with Daniele.
I pretend to be enjoying my life out and get high to spite this union of three gelling extremly well in each others company like they need none.I feel envious but choose to look away and get high in the moment.
In the end we are called and summoned for the grouo photograph and that is the only moment when we exchange awkward glances.
Kevin's lips part to say something but Adiva grabs a hold of his arm and makes me stand next to Derby on one side and herself on other.
I know Kevin has his eyes on me,I in order to spite him,grab a hold of Ivan's arm and pose for a picture.
The night is enveloped yet again,like it was on the freshers eve,All of us part ways and I see Adiva,Kevin and Derby disappearing first.
Followed by Daniel, Jamie,Ivan and me.
We promise to meet tomorrow before we part for an entire month.
I realise I have no plans on what am I doing all these vacations at home.
Adriana tells me,she ll choose her mode of working from home and I may probably enjoy boosing and family time,or perhaps visiting my cousins and relatives.
But atleast I m happier for the sake any hig misery dinot fall upon me.I ll have my time out for a while and maybe I can trust a fresh start again,maybe the things will change for better when we return,maybe the events unturn and just maybe everything is back to normaly like it used to be..
All I could do was just wish for it to the stars to happen..
