Ashley's voice echoed through the school quadrangle, where many students and parents were idling. The sports game had ended yesterday, and today's events mostly consisted of booths and other extracurricular activities.
Even so, the younger students still needed a guardian.
Ashley smiled when she saw that her son was with his classmates and that the parents from the same team who had been present yesterday were also there.
"Oh, your mom is here!" one of the parents called out with a smile.
Ashley almost skipped over to them. "Hey, guys!"
"Your son told us you'd come later," one of the parents chuckled. "But you're early."
Ashley laughed as she casually joined them. The game yesterday had somehow earned her a few friends here, and she'd gotten to know them a little better.
"Anyway, you guys left early yesterday," Julius pointed out. "Everything okay?"
