Greg stood at the entrance to the camp, staring at the bustling scene before him in silence.
He had figured Vivian would bring two or three helpers at most, but he had never imagined she would use her authority as Student Council President to summon every Student Council member who had stayed on campus over the break.
At a glance, there were nearly a dozen people standing in the camp.
They were gathered in twos and threes, curiously inspecting their surroundings.
Among the crowd, Greg spotted someone he had not expected to see.
That distinctive gray hair stood out conspicuously.
