Chapter 50: I'll be there

“Is it just me, or does there seem to be quite a few students in here? They weren’t here before, were they?” Nadine asked, spotting glimpses of students through gaps in the curtains.

“Are they hurt?” Zara asked in a hushed whisper.

“Not that I can tell. I mean, I’m not a doctor, but it’s not like they’re lying here in casts like Corbin.”

“Ugh, they aren’t all sick, are they?” Zara’s asked, her voice muffled as she placed her hand over her mouth.
