Chapter 39: Don't go anywhere

Seeing Roman crush the can, some of the students near the counter were quick to walk in the other direction, while his friends and the person, who stood behind the counter, turned to look at him. 

"What?" questioned Roman with his raised eyebrows, and they went back to what they were earlier doing. 

He watched Julie laughing at something that Dennis said to her. His lips twisted while he quietly glared. He had suggested replacing her to act in the play so that she wouldn't gain unnecessary attention. But this idiot had decided to jump right into the burning fire, thought Roman, and the nerve on his forehead popped. 

A few days had passed since he realized that Julie couldn't be compelled, and he wasn't sure what to do with it. He had withheld the information and not informed Dante or any other night creatures.
