Suddenly, a girl next to Cassia nudged her arm and gasped, “Cassia, you’re amazing! You actually signed up to play piano!”

No wonder she looked shocked. Playing the piano wasn’t easy at all.

And Brie had also signed up. Brie was a real pro. She had taken graded piano exams, and her level was pretty high.

When everyone saw Cassia’s name on the list, they were stunned.

With Brie competing, there was no way Cassia could win first place. They only hoped she wouldn’t lose too badly.

“That’s impossible,” Cassia said firmly.

She was always low–key and hated attention. How would she ever join some talent show performance?

Besides, she had never agreed to go on stage in the first place.

The girl thought Cassia was joking, so she handed over the sign–up sheet.

Cassia took it, still unsure. One quick look–and there it was. Danica. Brie. And her own

name.

Brie was scheduled right before her. And her performance was the finale.

Cassia almost wanted to laugh. What a thoughtful little setup.

No need to guess. Danica must’ve put her name down. And the goal? To make her look bad, of course.

Everyone else was probably waiting to watch the show too. Putting Brie and her back–to- back, they were all expecting her to get crushed.

Well then. She shouldn’t waste her dear sister’s “kind intentions.”

If everyone wanted a performance, she might as well give them one.

Hopefully, they’d enjoy it.

Backstage at the winter party show, the coordinator was checking attendance.

When she read down the list, she noticed one person was missing.

“Cassia Wood!” The teacher called their names one by one down the list.

Everyone looked around in surprise. Cassia? She was bold enough to sign up?

But she wasn’t here yet. Did she chicken out at the last minute?

Danica secretly laughed. No matter what Cassia did tonight, she would be the joke of the whole event.

If Cassia didn’t show up, she would be a coward. If she did show up and mess up, she would embarrass herself anyway.

Either way, Danica planned to make sure Cassia got humiliated.

The event coordinator grew anxious. Don’t tell me she changed her mind now?

Just then, a clear voice floated in from backstage. “I’m here.”

“Oh, thank goodness, Ms. Wood! You finally came. Hurry and get ready,” the coordinator said, visibly relieved.

Everyone else stared at Cassia with a strange mix of curiosity and doubt. Playing the piano wasn’t like singing. Piano needed talent and years of training.

And Cassia didn’t look like someone with any sort of musical background.

Most people were ready to watch her fail.

The show lineup was already set.

Tonight’s talent show was a big deal. Besides students and teachers, some officials were in the audience. The school took this event seriously.

The first few acts were nothing special: group singing, a short comedy skit, and more group singing. The crowd was bored and half–asleep.

Then Danica’s performance finally started.

She had signed up for dance. Her movements were smooth and graceful, matching the music perfectly. She immediately caught everyone’s attention.

People leaned forward, whispering comments and praise.

“The final score is 95! Currently the highest score in the advanced class!”

The host’s voice made the whole audience room buzz.

Of course, the honors class students refused to accept that. Their secret weapon was up next -Brie. Whenever Brie performed, she took first place without fail.

Her piano skills were well–known.

People couldn’t wait to watch.

Brie walked onstage with a soft smile. She wore white gown that made her look elegant and refined.

Sitting beside the white grand piano, she looked even more polished.

Her hair was styled perfectly, and her light makeup softened her features just enough.

She bowed gracefully, then sat down and began to play.

Her fingers moved with ease. The keys danced under her touch, and a bright, beautiful melody filled the hall.

Everyone listened intently, with some even holding their breath.

It was a stunning performance–no doubt about it.

Brie scored a 98.

As always, it was the highest score. No one could top that.

The championship was basically already hers.

The honors class lifted their heads proudly.

For a school event, the atmosphere now felt like a celebrity concert. The crowd was fired up.

Brie’s smile was so wide it nearly reached the back of her ears. Every year, she ended the show with the highest score, soaking in all the envy and admiration around her.

As soon as she stepped offstage, Kaleb leaned close and whispered, “Brie, you were amazing. Highest score again.”

Brie lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, playing the modest role.

But deep down, she was thrilled beyond words.
