Bab 209: Three-Legged Race

The school's bell rang and echoed through the empty halls.

While the school buildings were empty and abandoned, the sports fields were packed with students playing and cheering on their teams.

The stands were filled with parents of the students..

By one of the grassy hills near the sports fields, some students were there sitting while waiting for their events to start.

Alice was sitting with a couple of her friends, cheering for their classmates.

"By the way, Alice, when's your partner coming?" Laura asked.

"He'll be here shortly." Alice said with a smile. "I just got a text from him saying he's on his way."

"So, he is part of the Government-Appointed Caretaker program?" Reina asked.

"Yup." Alice nodded.

"How does it feel to live with someone who would basically be a stranger in another timeline where plague didn't happen?" Laura asked out of curiosity.

"I was curious about that too," Reina said with a giggle.
