Feeling better than ever Julie and her friends walked in the cafeteria confidently . " Julie I really feel like you would look pretty if you let your hair down " Sylvia raised a brow , " Maybe your right but I don't think hair colouring is allowed here I mean look at everyone here not a single one of them has different and crazy hair colour like mine , I don't want to get into trouble with the school's disciplinary " Julie smiled at her , the trio stood in a line waiting to get some food .
Once they had gotten their food they sat at their usual table but unbeknownst to them two tables away from theirs danger and deceit that lurked around it , " Bestie there she is , this is your chance to do what you must do " Jade said pointing at a certain someone two tables behind theirs , " Wait ! I have a good idea on how to make it happen " Helen whispered with a smug on her face .
Julie had spaghetti and meatballs while Sylvia and Jane had french fries and burgers they chatted and ate joyfully , " This plan is gonna work like a charm" Helen smiled with pure hatred . She used her hearing ability and heard the trio's conversation they were going to dump their leftovers and that was jackpot Helen was counting on she got up and walked a few steps away in the middle of the way she faked a conversation with some girls .
" Sylvia am really full , am going to get rid of the leftovers before I burst "Julie said while getting up from her seat with a bowl of spaghetti leftovers . " Ooh ! okay I'll go with you then am full too " Sylvia said following her , the garbage can was unfortunately close to the door but the only problem was that they had to pass near Jade's table and close to where Helen was standing with some girls .
Julie walked with Sylvia leaving Jane alone at their table , Helen signaled Jade and she nodded and since she sat at the edge near the way she moved her leg sneakily when Julie neared she was too caught in the conversation to notice the foul . Neither did Julie nor did Sylvia notice Jade's sneaky leg , " Okay little bitch show me your clumsiness , sorry but it's unavoidable " Jade said with fake sympathy . Julie walked and she tripped and all the leftovers fell on Helen while the bowl fell and broke into pieces .
Julie found her balance and when she looked up at the mess her eyes widened almost popping out of her sockets . The spaghetti and meatballs leftovers were all over Helen who was fuming like a volcano , Julie was sweating buckets her face paled , heartbeat accelerated . The whole cafeteria packed with students turned to look at them curiously and pitifully and others eager for some drama since everyone knew Helen Marquise's anger held no bound .
" Oh my ! am really_sorry , let me cle_ " Julie's words were cut short by a tight slap across her face , she felt a burning sting when she touched her cheek her eyes burned together with the lump on her throat that she gulped down before saying " Am_really....sor_ " again her words were cut short by another tight slap this time stronger and harder than the other and as a result she stumbled backwards and fell on her bottom .
She didn't quickly realized it but a piece of the broken bowl had pierced and cut her palm blood dripped out of her cut , some of the students felt sorry for Julie but didn't move to help her , some enjoyed the scene Sylvia and Jane tried to defend Julie but ended up being held back by some of Helen's minions . The dripping blood made some of the vampires in the cafeteria stared at her with bloodthirsty eyes that were missed by the human eyes .
Julie weakly stood up touching her cheek that had been slapped two times in a row was now swollen hard and it was really painful , sure that her tooth was loose she blinked back her tears forcefully bitting her lip to stop any kind of sound from escaping.
" How dare you trip knowingly and spill your leftovers on me ! you shameful bitch , who do you think you are ? " she asked without a hint of sympathy. " You are nothing but a piece of trash a low and pathetic girl , do you know how much this outfit costs ! ooh ! wait you don't cause you don't have one . This is a prestigious academy I am surprised that a low life like got a chance to study here ! now get out of my sight since you've already ruined my night with that trash you call a face " Helen yelled at Julie mercilessly.
" You might be from a rich family who spoiled you rotten ....to the core...but that still doesn't....give you the right....to look down on me....since we all breath the same air and study here....you might call me a piece of trash but....at least I have sympathy and compassion for others..... unlike you !! who greatly lacks it ....when I've got plenty, instead of looking down on me .....you should....learn from me what compassion and sympathy really means...."Julie stuttered still holding back her tears , she got up and ran out of the cafeteria.
Helen and everyone else present were left dumbfounded and loss of words , when Julie was steps away from the cafeteria she bumped into something hard and sturdy that made her fall on her bottom . When she looked up with her teary eyes which were blurry from the tears she blinked and when her vision was clear she realized that she had bumped into Drew who stared down at expressionless and coldly .
" Am...so..so_rry " she sobbed and ran past him without another word . Drew's eyes slightly narrowed when he stared at the place where the girl had fallen a while ago there was a small puddle of blood that freshly from a wound . He turned around and stared at the girl's back that was turning blurry untill it disappeared behind a building's corner . Julie ran and when she reached the girls' dormitory, she quickly retired to her room locking the door behind her . She leaned on the door and sat there sobbing uncontrollably , a few minutes later Jane and Sylvia arrived at her door panting " Ummh !! Julie are you in there... please open ..the door! your wound ! your bleeding let us tend to it ..... before it gets infected please open up " Jane knocked .
Julie stared at her left palm at to her horror she really had a cut on her palm that was bleeding painfully, " Julie open up it wasn't your fault....it was an accident please open up " It was Sylvia's turn to plead but Julie didn't open the door instead she said " Am fine ....I really am....and I'll treat this wound.....I have a first aid kit from back home ! just go to your rooms before curfew I'll be fine " she assured and after a couple of minutes they left her door saying that they would be here if she needed anything .
nJulie had lied but at least her friends won't miss curfew and get into trouble because of her , Julie sobbed quietly until a knock interrupted her she asked " Jane ? Sylvia ? is that you I told I would be fine didn't I ?" Julie asked but there was no response . She sighed and opened her door slightly peeking out her head , she was stunned she saw no one at her door step , left and right but when she looked down she saw a ssmall paperbag picking it up she went inside her room with it .
