Adriana's POV

It was Ivan,Jamie Nancy & I,having our breakfast when my phone was ringing but the hassle & noise inside the cafetaria prevented me from hearing,when Nancy saw & answered it for me.

"We need to get back to dorms Adriana,its something urgent there"

Nancy said getting up from her chair.

"See you shortly guys"
She literally dragged me out with her.
"Anything to worry about?"Jamie asked.
"Nothing we can't handle."

She winked & moved out dragging me along.

"Would you explain,what is it about? we have a lecture in next ten minutes?
I'm not missing it,okay ?"I tell her.
"Mike is here,along with Adiva's Mother,so she is worried & want us to be there to cover up for last night."

"You have got to be kidding me,Did he literally complaint about it all to her mom?" I asked half screeming in disbelief.

"Strange,i really don't know,we have to & find out" Nancy replies.

A lady with shoulder length brunette hairs,dressed in a black duffle & beige colour trousers is standing facing against the door & sitting on the bed is Mike,his one hand gripping his forehead.

I fidget with the door handle before i have their attention.Mike greets me & Nancy, introduces us to Adiva's mother.She is a polite lady & greets us with smile.

Adiva is on the door,she catches evrybody's attention.There after what follows is awkward for both Nancy & me.We exchange glances & within 20 minutes of the Derby's entry & Adiva's PDA we decide mutually to walk out.

"I don't understand the point of Adiva's drinking again,really!
Like the way she behaved after coming back last night post drinking,was it some break up celebration?"Nancy says dramatically putting her finger at her temple.

"Lets leave it on her to be such a thing,its way too difficult to comprehend,one day Mike breaks up & leaves her crying ,the other he comes along with her mother & knows she was drinking all night,i really can't wrap my head around this subject"I reply shaking my head.

"Exactly,sitting like miles away he knows everything,there's something we are missing in it"Nancy is now seriously giving a thought.

"Anyway,we are going to see her less now,She is shifting her room,let's not fall into this mess" I say casually.

"Ok,by the way,i ll change for my dance class now so i ll go to the lockers.see you in next class !"

She moves to the lockers area.

I look at the time & half of my literature class is gone so i decide to visit Mrs.Stephene.

She greets me in her usual way with a bright & charming smile.

"I presume you are missing a class dear,all well ?"She asks.

"I am great Mrs.stephene,its just that i had a call from a friend in dorms so i had to run back to attend her,due to which i am late for the class,so i decide to come here"

"What would you take for breakfast?"She asked sweetly.

"Bagel or Sandwich anything would work"I reply picking up the same torn copy of Great Gatsby from the shelf .

"Can i ask you something?"I looked at her.

She looked at me unassuredly and said "yes".

"Its quite amazing that i just see the limited edition collections here,almost all these books are torn & smell like they are read multiple times"
