Music Recommendation: Crime Scene- Nathan Barr . Julie didn't stay there for another second to get detention that she had tried to avoid. She quickly climbed up the stairs, but she didn't go to her classroom. There was still a lot of time left for the current period to get over, and entering now would only raise questions. She stepped into the empty washroom, closing the door while hoping no one would come. Her hands were still in fists tightly clenched. She walked to stand in front of the mirror.…-

When Julie woke up in the morning, her hand reached out for the note near the window, and as expected, there was a new note waiting for her to read. Still in the bed, she turned her body to the side and opened the letter. 'Pity that you didn't see me, while I was right in front of you. What's the rush of wanting to know who I am? There are still two years before you graduate from here. I have a task for you to do,' reading the word task had Julie sink into her bed. 'Get detention today.' "That is not…

Julie moved the mop up and down in the bucket of water. Wringing it, she walked to the place where spots of blood had dropped. Once they were done cleaning the floor, they threw the water and put the mop back in its closet. While they were in the locker room, Roman hadn't bothered to speak to them again. When it was time to leave, Melanie caught hold of Julie's hand and started to walk away from the room. Julie's eyes fell on Roman, who stood in front of his locker, pulling out his things before they…

Add the book- 'Behind the glasses' to get author updates on books. . As Melanie mentioned when they were leaving the dormitory, the front rows at the bleachers were filled. Even some of the teachers had come to take a look at the game that would start in fifteen minutes. Julie heaved for air as Melanie had made her run halfway so that they wouldn't be late. With the sky slowly turning dark, the floodlights were on, allowing the spectators to view the mowed field. The students were loud, creating a…

Gingerly, Julie stepped inside the detention room. This was the last place she wanted to be at, and this time she had herself to blame for what happened yesterday. She should have known that the person who had her uncle's letter would not have sent the letter through one of the girls. Julie had fallen right into Eleanor's trap, and she clenched her teeth on seeing Eleanor and her friends, who had already arrived in the room. As if the girl's company wasn't enough, today, two more people were present…

As the birds chirped outside her room, Julie turned in her bed, facing the window where the rays of sunlight peeked from the cracks of the two curtains. Sitting up on her bed, she noticed the curtains waver because of the wind passing inside through the gap of the window. Like many other nights, Julie had not kept the windows open. But when she pushed the curtain aside, she saw the window was left ajar. At the side was a white envelope that sat against the blurry window. It was addressed as—'To the…

Music Recommendation: Let my home be my gallows- Hans Zimmer . After the boys who were involved in the fight left, the lunchroom returned to its peaceful state. Julie had not missed the way Roman had made eye contact with her, and when her eyes moved, she noticed even Eleanor didn't miss it because the next moment, she glared at her. Something told her that she would need to be careful from now on while visiting restrooms or alone. "What do you think triggered the fight?" asked Conner while…

Music Recommendation: Bad guy- Billie Eilish . Julie watched Roman or Rome as his friends called him, leave the bonfire place with his clique while she stood with Melanie and Conner. Roman's last words to her resounded in her mind, and her lips pursed. Roman Moltenore was indeed a trouble that she would need to avoid. It was only a while ago, did she realize that she had been played by having another round with him. The scent of his cologne continued to linger in the place where he had been…

Julie awkwardly sat between the two boys, Roman on her left and Simon on her right, while feeling her hands turn sweaty even though she had been feeling cold a few minutes ago. The eight of them sat in a circle with gaps between them so that they could see each other well. "I forgot to tell another thing here. You are not supposed to break the stick while biting it to the finish line. That would earn you a dare. The person who meets the middle of the stick second, he or she will be asked questions,"…

Eleanor and her three friends turned around and walked away from where they stood to go closer to the bonfire. "Is she always like this?" questioned Julie. They were living in a modern era with techno-oh forget it, she thought to herself. The university welcomed and stuck to traditional methods implemented to keep the students in line, while some of the students had opted for the division of rich and the poor. "A lot of them are like that," replied Melanie with a sigh. "The first time I met her, I…
