The Masquerade

Chapter 16

Adriana's POV

"For the hundredth time Nancy,he is not my boyfriend" i snap at Nancy removing the wet towel "Carmen Miranda style" wrapped on my head from my now damp hair.

"Like really,somebody offers to drive you to work, then lends his car.Fool yourself,i am not buying it and now for the one hundred & one time's sake tell me,when are you planning to introduce him?"she gives me a cocky grin.

Even if you feel like contradicting your first twinge,some douches of your friend wont let you,they have a certain natural tendency to create thing & make you buy the bullcrap.

"Are you shutting up already?
I am not playing that game of falling for the charms of a stranger,flirt then date and later cry over the remains" I throw wet towel on her.

My mind run years back and the memory comes fresh in my mind, i am retrying to unjumble the events but like always it never makes sense.Sentiments have overpowered my emotions,my expression suddenly change and i recompose myself in a fraction of seconds turning back to look at Nancy when she says

"Experience speaks,huh?"

"Moot point that too at the crack of the dawn" i say sending her annoying glares.

"Ok now no chapping my ass rather get your ass out of the room,we are getting late" She calls on me.

I chuckle as she locks the room.

Adiva is sitting on Kevin's lap as we reach,impassively i greet them all. Ivan shifts on his chair uncomfortably and astutely strikes a conversation with us.

"Where is Jammie?" I ask looking around.

"I don't know" Ivan shrugs.

"Nor do I" Kevin utters and Adiva shrugs along.

"Time to catch up for class guys" Ivan says getting up to speak something in Kevin's ear.

Both of them exchange suspicious smile and i follow there gaze to see a tall blonde in the cafe.

Kevin gets up from his chair making Adiva stand and Nancy shakes her head in disapproval,Kevin and Ivan follow her out of the cafe.

"Disgusting, these guys"Nancy streches her eyebrow and complain"

"Men will be men"Adiva agrees to Nancy's disapproval.

We move all towards the lab and since i complete my practicle timely,i am allowed to leave the class along with Kevin.

"How is your internship going?" He strikes in casual conversation when we move out.

"Its treating me nice and my boss is a real good man,he appreciates my work and i fondly do it" i answer him.

My cellphone rings displaying an unknown number,i excuse myself from Kevin on purpose.

After i attend a call from office,i dial Jammie's number to hear the robotic voice saying "the number have dialed is switched off ,to leave a voice sms..."

I disconnect the call and began walking towards Mrs.Stephene's cafe.

She greets me in her usual tone but i could sense she is making up something,Sadness was quite visible in her eyes even though she tryed to mask it well.

"Is there anything that is bothering you?" I say looking at her.

She covers up brilliantly faking a flashy usual grin
