On the terrace, were two artificial cherry blossom trees and some plants Beneath the cherry blossom trees, there was a small stage for customers to play and sing quietly. The soundproofing downstairs was not up to snuff, and was pretty rowdy Even with the music off, the commotion from the next room was still seeping in. So, the classmates suggested that the two beauties perform on the terrace upstairs.
Upstairs, Yvette first handed the sheet music to Ellinor, smiling as brightly as ever. âEllinor, here! This is my original composition. Iâm sure you can play it!â
Ellinor took it and looked at the music she had written It looked good, but it wasnât something she could just play immediately Without some basic skills, it would be hard to play smoothly Seeing Ellinor struggling with the sheet music, Yvette smirked triumphantly, then feigned concern.
âEllinor, whatâs up? Is there a problem? Is my composition a bit tricky for you?â
Ellinor glanced at her, then back at the sheet music, sighed, and said, âItâs a bit tough, but Iâll give it a shot. Iâll try my best to play it for you.â
Yvette smirked inwardly but kept a pleasant face.
With Ellinorâs amateurish skills, she dared to say she would try her best to play it. What a joke!
She had poured her heart into the music for a year, incorporating all the skills she had learned over a lifetime. Even she could not play it perfectly, let alone an amateur like Ellinor!
But that was what she wanted, to see Ellinor make a fool of herself in public!
Ellinor had been overshadowing her for four years with her top student status. On this last day of college, she was determined to put Ellinor in her place and take back the spotlight!
She wanted everyone to know that Ellinorâs topâstudent title was just for show. When it came to talent and charisma, Ellinor was nowhere near her!
Ten minutes later, Yvette dragged Ellinor onto the small stage on the terrace, ready to start their performance.
Ellinor found a convenient spot to sit, clipped the sheet music, and prepared to accompany her However, when she opened the guitar case Yvette had given her, she looked startled, her eyebrows furrowing.
Seeing no movement from Ellinor, Yvette turned and put on a concerned face, âEllinor, whatâs up? Not ready yet?â
Ellinor looked at her and said regretfully, âCome and see for yourselfâ
Yvette went over and was surprised, âOh, my! Iâm so sorry. I think I accidentally put a violin in the guitar case!â
By now, their classmates were getting impatient.
âWhen are you two going to start?â
âYeah, weâve been waiting for ages!â
âThe instruments are all the same Just play whatever comes to hand!â
From the crowd, some wise guy shouted that out. Yvette took the opportunity to say âEllinor, theyâre right. You can play guitar music on a violin. Why not give it a try?â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow at Yvetteâs subtly provocative expression, sure now that she had purposely switched the instruments.
Yvette quickly asked, âEllinor, donât tell me you canât play the violin?â
Ellinor didnât say a word Yvette quickly put on an innocent face, feigning apologyâ, âUhâ¦my bad I thought a top student like you would at least know how to play a few instruments. looks like! was wrong!â
From the crowd, Yvetteâs friends started to chime in, crossing their arms and making snide remarks.
âIf you canât play the violin, get off the stage! Itâs better if Yvette plays and sings by herself. Donât ruin the piece our music departmentâs prodigy worked so hard on!â
âYeah, get off the stage! Donât waste our time. We want to see Yvette!â
âOil I thought this legendary top student, Ellinor could do anything! Looks like sheâs all talk, no action!â
