When Julie pushed the doorknob to open it, she caught sight of the counsellor, who was sitting behind the desk. Mr. Evans's gaze fell on her, and he gave her a bright smile. "Come in, Ms. Winters." "You wanted to see me, Mr. Evans?" asked Julie, her words careful as Conner had not mentioned what the counsellor wanted from her. Mr. Evans' smile was between a relaxed and a creepy smile, and there was something very eerie about it. "I did. I thought to have a little chat with you, please close the…-

With the end of Hallow's celebration, the classes had again started as usual, and it took quite some time for the students to return from the joyous time they had. When it was the time of recess, Julie and Melanie went to fill their water bottles. Julie caught sight of Roman, who stood next to Simon outside their class. There was a girl who stood in front of Simon, who was looking at Roman. Julie recognized that girl to be the cat woman she had seen with Roman on the dance floor. But Roman looked…

Music Recommendation: Love me like that- Sam Kim . "You mentioned in the letter that you would give it to me if I came here to meet you," Julie watched him turn so that both his legs hung on the branch. Roman jumped on the ground with ease without falling, and he stood up like the black cat he was. He walked towards her and came to stand in front of her, "Why do you tear my letters, Winters?" "So that nobody can read it later?" asked Julie, not sure what answer he was looking for. "Right.…

Julie felt Roman catch hold of the loose end of her bandage, rotating it around her neck and she stared back at him. Roman watched Julie's brown eyes that had turned wide for a few minutes, and he could hear her heart beating in her chest. He didn't have to look below her face to see how she looked in the mummy costume because he had done that before when they were on the dance floor. When Roman had instructed in the letter to wear the bandage costume, he hadn't taken note that it would end up…

Julie was stunned to see Roman as she hadn't expected to see him there. But at the same time, she was glad that he had stopped this costume person from role-playing with her. "Ouch!" winced the person whom Roman had hit in the face. The boy stood up, "Fucking, Moltenore! What do you think you are doing?!" Anger coursed in the other boy's veins because Roman had interrupted him from drinking from this human. "You know this weird guy?" asked Julie, looking at both the boys back and forth. Roman…

When the day of Hallow finally arrived on the campus of Veteris, the teachers held classes only until noon before the students were dismissed from the classes. Most students had skipped classes, leaving only the studious ones like Julie and Melanie attending the classes. "They might as well have declared a holiday instead of conducting three classes," stated Melanie when they made their way through the almost empty corridors. "I would have slept more or skipped classes if I knew this was going to…

Roman pressed his thumb on the pusher of the lighter for the flame to appear. He held one side of the paper above the flame, and soon one end of the paper caught fire before the whole burnt itself, leaving behind residue of ashes on the floor. He brought his fingers to his mouth, running his tongue over the burn as he stared at the ashes. His eyes burned brighter than the flame, remembering the question that Julie had asked him in the letter. Did she see the cemetery that night? Students, who had…

Music Recommendation: Dream No.24 - RIO . Like Roman, Julie hadn't expected the sneeze to make its appearance. And as it was unexpected, her head-butted with his head as if she had hit a rock, and for a moment, she didn't know what happened. She winced in pain, bringing her hand up to her forehead. Her eyes opened, and she noticed Roman touch his head while sending her a glare that made her want to pack her things and run back to her dorm and never return here again! Julie looked away from him…

Standing in front of the large building, Julie looked at the outer walls of the library. Some students walked past her to step inside, and some came out of the building. Since yesterday, she had been slightly worried about what Roman's reaction would be during their study session. But more than his actions, it was the reaction that he elicited in her, which brought a frown of worry on her face. But remembering their previous study sessions, where he had only focussed on teaching her, Julie stepped…

Seeing Roman crush the can, some of the students near the counter were quick to walk in the other direction, while his friends and the person, who stood behind the counter, turned to look at him. "What?" questioned Roman with his raised eyebrows, and they went back to what they were earlier doing. He watched Julie laughing at something that Dennis said to her. His lips twisted while he quietly glared. He had suggested replacing her to act in the play so that she wouldn't gain unnecessary attention.…
