“This is a performance by a winner from our school’s Top Ten Singers competition. It’s definitely worth watching.”

But Ethan wasn’t paying attention to his friend at all. His mind was completely filled with Cassia.

When Ethan stayed silent, his friend kept talking, basically speaking to thin air.

While Ethan was lost in his thoughts, two more people arrived even later than them and sat down beside them.

Ethan casually glanced at the man next to him, then froze. He couldn’t look away for a long

moment.

It was the man who had been standing beside Cassia earlier.

Draven noticed the stare and turned his head, meeting Ethan’s eyes.

So it really is him. The eldest son of the Zimmers.

Draven knew Ethan because the Zimmers of Zrario were a subsidiary family under the Greys.

Draven knew Ethan, but this was only the second time Ethan had ever seen Draven.

Ethan stared at Draven in a daze.

He had to admit it. This man was ridiculously handsome in every way.

A little enviable.

Ethan thought that someone like Draven was what a real man was supposed to be like. If he looked like that, maybe Cassia would spare him second glance.

Thinking of Cassia, Ethan felt even more bitter. Whether it was the time she saved him or when she visited his house, she had never once eally looked at him.

Seven also noticed Ethan’s gaze.

First awe,

then envy.

Exactly the same reaction he had the first time he saw Draven.

Just as the group exchanged silent looks, the lights on stage suddenly dimmed.

“It’s a shame the Wood sisters aren’t performing this year,” someone in the front row whispered.

“Yeah, same. But I heard the singer this time looks pretty good.”

“Isn’t it someone from the advanced class? A competition winner or something. I forgot her name.”

“Doesn’t matter. She probably sings fine, or she wouldn’t dare go on stage.”

Whoosh.

The lights snapped on.

“What’s going on?” someone shouted.

The instant the lights came up, almost everyone straightened in their seats, leaned forward, craned their necks, and stared wide–eyed at the person standing on stage.

Cassia.

A flicker of surprise crossed Draven’s usually calm face. His dark eyes locked onto Cassia, who stood behind the microphone.

She wore her usual dark casual outfit. Her long hair fell freely down her back, with a few strands framing her face.

Her expression was calm and unreadable as she looked at the silver microphone in front of her.

At that moment, everyone froze.

Including Brie, including Kaleb, and including teachers and students across the entire school.

Only Danica covered her mouth, smiling smugl

“Isn’t that Cassia? What is she doing up there?”

“And she’s singing ‘Chandelier‘. That song is insanely hard.”

“I’ve never heard she could sing.”

“Then why is she standing there? Does she think being pretty is enough?”

The moment that comment left his mouth, someone kicked the back of his chair.

“Hey, watch

your legs-” The boy turned around and met Draven’s darkened expression.

He immediately shut up, sat stiffly in his seat, and didn’t dare move. He was even trembling a little.

Seven grinned. Wrong person to run his mouth in front of.

Totally deserved it.

Kaleb turned to Brie.

“Danica said she sings well?”

Brie’s lips moved, but no words came out.

What was she supposed to say?

Suddenly, the intro to “Chandelier” began to play, and the auditorium fell completely silent.

Cassia’s slender hand rested on the silver microphone. As the music flowed, her lips parted.

“Party girls don’t get hurt, can’t feel anything, when will I learn…”
