Chapter 64 Next Up, Cassia Wood!

Brie loved moments like this, when every eye in the room was fixed on her.

Soon, the host announced, “Next up is Cassia Wood from the Advanced Class.”

The crowd reacted like someone had just told a joke. People booed and whispered.

Cassia? Playing the piano? Was she asking to embarrass herself?

Brie had just delivered an amazing performance For Cassia to follow that was basically setting herself up to get compared and laughed at.

Most students thought she must have a pretty thick skin to do something so risky.

Sacha had already finished her song. She walked over and whispered, “Cassia, don’t be nervous. Just relax. We’re here for the fun of it.”

She worried Cassia would feel pressured, so she tried to calm her down.

Cassia gave a soft smile and said faintly, “I’ll do my best.”

Just then, Lilian came over. “Cassia, are you ready? You’re up soon. Since you signed up, try your best and fight for a good score for our class. It was the kind of routine encouragement a teacher gives, but even she had zero confidence.

Cassia had never practiced in front of anyone.

Danica overheard and let out a cold laugh. “Ms. Reed, maybe don’t put so much pressure on Cassia. She’s never touched a piano in her life. Am I right, Cassia?”

Her tone was dripping in sarcasm.

Several students chuckled. Everyone assumed Cassia could barely hold a tune, let alone play piano.

Cassia’s lips curved into a sly smile. “Oh? Danica, it seems you don’t know me that well. Let’s wait and see.”

“Aye, Cassia, hurry up and change into your costume!” Sacha urged. She was more anxious than Cassia herself. Cassia was still in her normal clothes.

Danica froze for a moment. Something about Cassia’s tone felt different.

She must have imagined it. Cassia was tone–deaf She was going to embarrass herself, no doubt about it.

Cassia gently patted Sacha’s hand. “Don’t worry. brought my outfit. I’m changing now. No need to panic.”

The outfit had been rushed over as fast as possible. She wanted to surprise everyone the moment she stepped onstage.

After all, this wasn’t just any outfit. It was the stage costume she used for her concerts.

Cassia grabbed her outfit and changed as fast as she could.

Danica stood nearby with a smirk and said, “Ugh always pretending. She’s not even worried about embarrassing herself later.”

Danica had already decided to stay far away from Cassia. If people saw their names together and thought they were related, she’d never be able to explain herself.

Two minutes later, Sacha called from outside. “Cassia, are you ready? Do you need help?”

There was no answer. Sacha was about to push the door open when it swung wide on its own.

A sharp, confident figure stepped out.

The girl wore a crisp white suit. The sharp tailoring showed off her shape, and a white feather mask covered the area around her eyes. It added a touch of mystery.

Sacha froze. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She asked cautiously, “Cassia, is that you?”

Cassia nodded. “How is it?”

“It’s amazing! You look incredible!” Sacha said, nodding so fast she looked like a bobblehead.

Even Danica was stunned by her look.

She let out a cold laugh, trying to cover her shock. Yeah, right, trying more tricks.

But the truth was–she was jealous. Cassia looked way too cool.

Then Danica saw the mask and burst out laughing. “So you do know you’re going to embarrass yourself! That’s why you’re hiding behind a mask!”

That was the only reason she could think of.

Cassia didn’t bother responding. She stood straight and steady, not bothered at all.

Danica, annoyed, tried again. “Cassia, do you even know how to play the piano? Should I ask Brie to teach you?”

She didn’t miss a single chance to mock.

“No thanks. I’m fine,” Cassia said calmly.

“Wow, talk about being ungrateful,” Danica muttered, pouting.

Cassia had known Danica long enough to see right through her tricks.

Danica switched to fake comfort. “Even if you try your best, there’s no way you’ll get a perfect score. So first place still goes to Brie. You should just join for fun. No need to feel too bad about this.” She sounded like she was comforting Cassia, but every sentence was a jab.

Cassia smiled lightly. “Thanks for the blessing.”

The last program of the night–the final spotlight–was Cassia’s performance.

Usually, the final act was given to the best performer. But the moment everyone saw it was Cassia, the room filled with whispers.

“What a waste of time. What does she even know?” Student A scoffed.

“Seriously. Playing piano? Please. She probably can’t even read the notes,” Student B added.
