Before heading to the library, Julie went to her dorm and picked up the letter that the letter thief had left her— 'Ah ah ah. Not so fast, troublemaker. The rules are mine and you seem to have forgotten to reply back to one of my questions. Here's a little motivation, I have the answers to your questions, but don't think I will be giving it to you that easily. Haven't you heard the give and take policy of the bully? You answer my question without a single word of lie and then I will give you your…-

Stepping into her room, Julie closed the door and leaned her back against it. A soft sigh escaped her lips. Back then, when the door of Roman's room had opened, it had turned her pale. He had even gone to the extent of pushing her against the wall, and it had frightened her. But she hadn't expected Roman actually to walk her until her Dormitorium, and now that he did, she wondered what had changed his mind. "Everything is okay," whispered Julie to herself. She had escaped Roman Moltenore's wrath…

Julie felt her blood drain from her face, turning her pale and almost like a ghost. She was sure her soul was soon going to leave her body. She gritted her teeth, hoping the other girls of the Dormitorium didn't receive the same page as hers. "Expulsion?" asked one of the girls who was in the corridor. Another girl who was a freshman said, "I thought breaking rules only sent you to detention." "Maybe it was one of the golden rules of Veteris. Rule number twenty-eight says students are not supposed…

Julie saw Roman staring at her notebook, where she had written down the answer for the components he had given her to solve. The junior year had a Rubix subject, similar to Mathematics, but only that this subject contained purely equations and chemical compounds. Roman, who had been playing with a toothpick earlier, now held it in between his teeth. "Were you sleeping in the class when the teacher was teaching this?" Deadpanned Roman, looking up from the book to look at her. Julie was decent with…

The next morning, Julie had woken up with one question on her mind. How was she going to deal with Roman Moltenore's option of where she would study with him? She had woken up thirty minutes earlier than her usual time while trying to come up with alternatives, and so far, she came up with three of them. One, by telling him that she was sick and was sleeping in her room. Two, getting into detention would avoid spending time with him. This way, he would even forget her existence, thought Julie to…

The boy with sandy blonde hair stared at Roman with his mouth slightly agape over what Roman uttered a few seconds ago. Julie didn't get to see Dennis' baffled expression because of Roman, who held her gaze, and it made it hard to look away from him. Julie couldn't make out if Roman was playing around or was being serious right now. "I-I," Dennis tried to compose his expression while a clear hint of irritation appeared in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said, "I am Dennis Mcoy. You must have…

Julie stared at the letter, biting the inside of her cheek in thought. Even though she had brought the bandages in a bag, she didn't have any intention to wrap herself to look like a mummy. If her letter bully thought that she would listen to every word that was being ordered to her, the person was sorely mistaken. So far, the letter thief hadn't done anything to harm her and had only made her do bizarre things. 'Don't have them.' How strange, thought Julie to herself. She didn't have her family…

Julie stood in front of her uncle's house. It had been more than a minute since the taxi had dropped her, but she was nervous. It was just two days. Actually, it would be less than forty hours, she assured herself, telling the uncomfortable would be over quickly. Taking a deep breath, she made her way towards the house and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Julie heard Aunt Sarah's voice. "It is Julianne," responded Julie, and when the door opened, she put a smile on her face. "Good morning,…

The sudden words from Roman had Julie's heart almost slip out of her chest. She hadn't noticed him get up from the bed and stand behind her. Turning her head, she saw him looking at the notes she had made. Roman said, "You have applied the wrong formula," and he turned his gaze to meet her eyes. He had been reading when he noticed the sound of Julie's pencil had stopped making noise against the paper. He now crouched behind her, staring at her handwriting. "It is messy," he said, chewing the gum…

A few hours ago... Though the subjects offered by Veteris for humans and vampires weren't different, certain classes were held only for the vampires, subjects that the humans were unaware of. Right now, Mr. Stwarski was teaching the class. "It is very important that you learn to control and hide your identity away from the humans. Never let them know who you are and if they do, compel them," Mr. Stwarski's feeble voice reminded Roman of a plant that was under the sunlight for far too long and was on…
