Ruby and Gia noticed Adam at the same time. "What is he doing here? Does he have this class as well?" Mia asked. Ruby sighed and shook her head, "I don't think that he has this class. But he has been calling me since yesterday night. Luke was kinda pissed off because of the continuous phone calls during our dinner and while driving home."
