Chapter Thirty-Three: Winter Surprise!

"Good morning, everyone! I'm so sorry for being late!" Nate suddenly made his entrance, while gasping for breath.

"You're not that late, Nate. We're still doing warm ups." the old director reassures him.

"Thank you, Sir." Nate heaved a sigh of relief. Then afterwards, he walks towards his cast mates to join them.

"Celine isn't here yet?" Nate asked everyone, while looking worried.

"Yeah. Maybe she overslept?" Nick did a wild guess.

Nate's brows met in a curious frown when he saw Gale giving him a challenging stare. He doesn't have any idea on why he's looking at him like that...

===========================

Twenty minutes have passed, but Celine is still missing in action. But the Director still went ahead with their rehearsals, as scheduled.

"Today, we're going to discuss the list of songs for our musical play. Next week, a pianist will be here so that we can start with your vocal rehearsals." Director Alford informs everyone on what they will be expecting at the rehearsals next week.
