Julie stared at Simon, feeling a trickle of worry run down her mind. The red-haired boy stared back at her with a serious expression on his face. For a moment, she came to believe that Roman was really being expelled from Veteris as he kept getting into trouble with other students, and his reputation was only getting worse with every passing day.
And she would have immediately rushed to the Boy's Dormitorium. But then she realized that if Roman was being kicked out, he would meet her before leaving Veteris, wouldn't he?
Because the Roman she had come to know, he wouldn't leave without causing more trouble and not telling her goodbye.
Julie finally said, "I think I will wait for him. You should know your friend better than me, that he wouldn't leave just like that."
"Are you sure about it?" asked Simon, his eyes subtly narrowing at her.
She nodded her head. She then said, "Yes. Melanie has told me that you like to cause trouble to her."
