Chapter 330 Food Poisoning (1/2)

Beatrice was uncharacteristically nervous.

It was the first School Assembly of the Year. A new year. Normally, at this time, she would be checking things backstage with Sam to make sure everything was in place while Kyle would be outside, greeting the students coming back.

Her nervousness was due to two things.

One, this would be the first time she would be spending time with Sam ever since he got together with Betty.

It wasn't that she avoided him ... well, technically, she didn't. After all, they were Student Council members. They would meet and see each other at the 'office'. However, there were always other people around and she as doing her thing while he was doing his.

Right now, whilst it was true that there were other people around, she was side-by-side with Sam as they did the usual sound check, equipment check and the such. Sam was being Sam, meticulous and serious as he looked over everything.

Surprisingly, and to her utter relief, Beatrice found that she could talk to Sam normally. Okay, that was not entirely true. She was nervous and sometimes her voice quivered a bit but overall, she managed to carry a conversation with him.

The best thing was, Sam was treating her like normal and didn't even flinch or react to her slightly unusual behaviour. It helped her calm down and carry on. She knew that he noticed, and the way he was treating her was his way of taking care of her.

Betty truly was very lucky.

”Okay, that's the last of it,” Sam said, ticking the list on the board he as holding. He looked around one last time backstage and nodded, satisfied.

”So, are you ready?” he asked as he looked at her.

Beatrice took a deep breath. She turned and glanced at the hall that was filling up. Even from where she was standing, she could see the intense disappointment on most of the girls' faces. Perhaps it was her imagination?

”They don't look too happy, do they?” Sam said with an eyebrow raised. He shook his head and pushed his glasses up his nose.

Apparently, it wasn't her imagination.

”Well, that's to be expected, I suppose,” Beatrice said in resignation, ”After all, Kyle's not here. They're probably wondering where he is.”

Sam nodded, agreeing with her, ”Who told him to eat raw oysters anyway?”

For some strange reason that Sam could not understand, Kyle had wanted some seafood when they returned to Country Tz. No, not it was strange that Kyle wanted seafood, but it wasn't just the typical grilled seafood dishes. He wanted to try raw oysters, sea urchin and jellyfish. You get the idea.

So, a day before they were to come to Sakura Academy, Kyle got his craving satisfied.

Unfortunately for Kyle, there was one particular bad oyster.
