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 to try pranking the teachers and not get into their rooms," said another girl.
"Who do you think broke the rule?" whispers started to fill in, and by then, even Melanie had stepped out of her dorm with the printed page in her hand. She looked at Julie, who looked as if she wanted to stab someone right now.
Melanie slowly walked to where Julie stood and asked, "Did someone find out about you sending the letter?"
