““and mine had been placed together for this activity, which was a perfect opportunity to talk more about our house swap. When the instructors arrived, and asked us to gather closer, I looked around for Casey once more. “Casey still hasn’t shown up,” I whispered in Brie’s ear and she glanced around worriedly. “I don’t know where she could be!” Brie exclaimed. “She was really looking forward to this activity, I can’t believe she’d miss it!” Making my way to Mr. Pavoni who was our supervising teacher that morning, I pointed out to him the fact that Casey still hadn’t arrived. “Miss Halliday just called me,” he said quietly in my ear, not wanting to interrupt the instructor’s spiel as she explained what we would all be doing. “Apparently, Ali is unwell and she’s resting in her cabin,” he continued. “Hopefully she’ll feel better later and can join in with a different group tomorrow.” Frowning with disappointment””
