Julie's mouth fell open at Mr. Borrell's words but was quick to close it before she could question why. How long had she stood here in the corridor that he had decided to hand her detention? She couldn't help but internally curse so many people in this university, and she had to meet him.
She had only gone to use the restroom! She screamed in her mind while offering a greeting smile at Mr. Borrell.
Mr. Borrell's eyes narrowed, and he said in a clipped tone, "First week of your class, and you're already wasting your time roaming around instead of being in the class. I knew it the first time I saw you." Julie placed her hand on the chest and then pointed her fingers in the backside direction. "What are you doing?" he questioned unamused.
"I can explain why I was standing here," Julie offered him a polite smile in the hope that he would listen.
