Zoey let out a quiet laugh. “She’s pretty good. Not bad at all.”
When Noelle finished her performance, loud applause filled the venue.
Zoey pulled the door open and waited by the entrance.

As soon as Noelle stepped off the stage, a few girls rushed over with paper and pens. They crowded around her and started talking
all at once.
“Noelle, you’re so cool! Seriously, you’re amazing! Can we get your autograph?”
Noelle raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her lips. She signed her name with a quick, bold stroke. Then she glanced at the girls. who were much shorter than her, and reached out to pat their heads.
“Girls, I’m heading off to rest now. Keep it up.”
The girls squealed in excitement and quickly moved aside to let her pass.
When Noelle walked over, Zoey crossed her arms and looked her up and down.
“Wow. You picked up a whole group of fangirls just like that.”
Noelle didn’t react much. She gave a small shrug.
“Can’t help it. I’m just that cool.”
Back in the room, Ava praised Noelle a bit. Then the group settled down and kept watching the performances.
After a while, Naomi came in as well.
“Naomi, your performance just now was amazing!” Ava said, giving her a thumbs–up.
Noelle grinned at her. “Naomi, you’re good at both singing and dancing. If you ever decide to become an idol, I’ll be your number one fan.”
Zoey nodded quickly. “Yeah, for real.”
Naomi waved it off. “I’m not interested in the entertainment industry.”
The group stopped chatting and turned their attention back to the stage. Not long after, Tylissa’s zither performance came on
Noelle made a quiet sound. “Why is she up again? I thought her slot was later”
Naomi paused, then nodded. “Yeah, I thought so too. Let me check the program
She serailed through her Holoband. Just like she remembered, Tylissa’s zither performance was originally scheduled much later it was even after Ava’s Jute performance.

Zoey scratched her head. “Wait, can they even do that? Isn’t that basically cutting ahead?”
“I’m not sure what’s going on,” Naomi said, frowning. “No one said anything about it.”

Noelle let out a short, cold laugh. “What else could it be? She probably pulled some strings. Ava’s dance earlier must have put pressure on her. There’s a ton of buzz online right now.”
Zoey opened social media and saw several topics marked “hot” right at the top. A few of them were about Starry Heavens University’s welcome gala. The buzz was even higher than what celebrities usually got.
At the very top was Tylissa’s dance performance. Right behind it was Ava’s solo dance.
Zoey laughed right away and showed Ava the screen.
“Ava, you’re number two on the trending list! See? People know what they’re watching.”
She tapped into the post. There were already tens of thousands of comments, and the number kept climbing.
Noelle burst out laughing. “No wonder her performance got moved up. Same old tricks. But this just proves Ava’s too good. She’s getting nervous.”
On stage, Tylissa’s zither performance had already started.
She chose a piece from “Awareness of Life.” The show had just aired and was very popular on Stellar Network. Tylissa had clearly put thought into her choice for the welcome gala.
Naomi watched for a moment before speaking. “She’s not at a master level yet. There’s still a gap. But that show is huge right now. Even if her skills aren’t top–tier, the hype will carry her. Honestly, she picked the right piece.”
Noelle rolled her eyes. “She looks all soft and gentle, but she knows exactly what she’s doing. That’s pretty shady.”
Zoey dragged a small stool over and sat next to Ava.
“Ava, do you think she’s targeting you? Her performance was supposed to be later, but now it’s way earlier. When you go on, wop’t she take the spotlight first?”
Zoey had already become Ava’s biggest fan. In her eyes, Ava could do no wrong.
Everything Tylissa did felt intentional to her.
Ava stayed calm. “I’m confident in my playing.”
Zoey immediately wrapped her in a hug, “Ava, how did I get so lucky to be your friend? I’m seriously so happy”
As expected, Tylissa’s zither performance drew a lot of attention. The drama was already extremely popular, and she was playing its theme song herself. It quickly climbed the trending list and looked like it might hit number one.
Zoey scoffed, “Wow. What a piece of work.”
