It all happened in an instant.
The stage set collapsed over the distracted girl watching Lydia and Princess Rainey, and the male student, who had been watching as well, rushed to save her. I saw him embrace her at the last moment, but after that, I wasnât sure what happened. I could only hope that both of them were safe.
âAre you okay?!â
âFirst, we need to move this set! Young master Ethan, could you bring Lady Celesta from the church... no, the maid café is closerâplease go and fetch her!â
âGot it, Lilith!â
At my words, Ethan sprinted out of the auditorium toward the maid café to fetch Celesta. Meanwhile, I, Lydia, and the other students preparing for the play began slowly lifting the fallen stage set.
âSqueak, squeakâ¦
âBo! Penelope! Are you okay?!â
âHrk, kghâ¦â@@novelbin@@
The first to emerge from beneath the collapsed set was the male student, crouched protectively over the girl. I could see strands of her hair beneath him.
âB-Bo!â
