Pretending to be okay

Mia followed Dorothy with the foods and drinks. Edward looked at Mia to know if she heard what he said but Mia's face has no reaction. They spread a cloth on the floor and all of them sat down and started eating.

"Which course are you taking Mia?" Calvin asked.

"Makeup" Mia replied.

"That's good" Calvin said.

"How about that saucy girl in your class?, I haven't been seeing her lately" Dorothy asked.

"She stopped coming to class" Mia replied.

"Why?" Dorothy asked.

"I thought I told you?" Mia asked

"No you didn't" Dorothy replied.

"OK someone in school found out that she was living a fake life" Mia explained.

"What ! with the expensive shoes and bags?" Dorothy asked.

"Yes she had a sugar daddy that was sponsoring her, her parents were not rich" Mia replied.

"What is the point of pretending?" Dorothy asked.

"She wants to be recognized" Mia replied.
