Miss Bossy and Mr. Cool

Chapter 15

We arrived at the place, Vida Hotel. What an extravagant contest. Where is my family, though.

"Lenny!!!", Yana ran and hugged me tightly.

"Yana.", I smiled and hugged her back.

"Long time no see.", she said. She got out of our hug. "My,my. If it isn't BJ. You've been out for 3 years!", she went to him and whispered something.

"Wha-what are you saying Yana? Of course not.", he looked away while fidgeting.

"Stop denying. You told me everything before you left.", Yana elbowed him.

"What is it?", I asked.

"Nothing.", BJ said while covering Yana's mouth. These two are really weird.

"Lenica. Long time no see.", mom smiled.

"So how are you doing in my friend's apartment?", dad asked.

"I'm doing just fine.", I nodded and smiled.

"Did you get yourself a boyfriend?", mom asked.

"What? Mooom...", I said.

"No way. Lenica won't betray daddy, right?", dad smiled. Hey hey. I'm not a baby anymore.

"My. Gabriel! It's been a long time for you too. 3 years, am I right?", mom asked.

"Uhh.. yes.", BJ replied.

"I didn't recognize you for a second there. You've grown.", dad smiled. BJ laughed.

"I guess so."

"Anyways, let's go inside. Or there will be no vacant seats left for all of you.", Yana said. She linked her arm to mine.

"I'm getting nervous. Cheer for me okay?", she said.

"Sure.", I smiled.

"Oh. It's Mr. Tan."

"Who?"

"The coordinator of this contest. And the owner of the Tan's Instruments de Musique.", Yana explained.

"Ohh..", Tan, huh? Wait, that last name is familiar.

Ah. It's Gab's last name right? Hm. Impossible.

"Wait til you see Mr. Tan's son. You'll be amazed with his skills. Other than that, he's very handsome and hot.", Yana smiled.

"Ohh.. is that so.. And his name is?", please. I hope not.

"Gabriel Tan. He's very talented."

Gab-Gabriel Ta-Tan? It can't be. That jerk? Meh. I think they just have the same name.

Yana separated from us and went to the backstage. While we went to the upper seats and found seats that would fit the 4 of us.

After a few moments, the program started. And of course, introductions first. Then the start of the contest. As I remember, Yana is contestant no. 5.

"Contestant no.1, Claud Bernilla.", the host presented. Then a neat boy went from the backstage. Placing the violin on his neck gently and nodded.

He started playing. He's good. His expression changed by relating it to the music. So far,so good. As he ended, he bowed gently again.

"Is he a gay?", BJ whispered to me. I smiled.

"I think not."

"Contestant no.2, Leila Garcia."

Yana's opponents are very good. Yana, good luck!

"Mom, how many contestants are joining?"

"5."

"5? Such a small number of contestants in a violin contest.", I said.

"Actually, there are 10 of them. But when they each performed their composed musics infront of a 3 professional vionilists. They had to choose 5 of them to compete here."

"Oh. So that's why.", I said.

The 4th contestant ended. And it's Yana's turn!

Yana went out from the backstage. Looking at the audience nervously. She is just staring blank.

What's wrong Yana? The judges is already signaling you to start.

The audience began to murmur. This is bad.

"She's very nervous.", BJ said.

There's nothing left to do. I stood up and shouted, "GOODLUCK YANA!!!"

She came back to her senses and smiled. She placed the violin on her neck and started her melody.

It is very sophisticated, accurate and gentle. Her eyebrows are furrowed. She feels her melody herself. Good job Yana.

The audience clapped. I stood up again and clapped harder as I can. Yana bowed and smiled as she went back backstage.

"She's gotten really good Lenny.", BJ praised.

"I know."

"Why did you quit on violin?"

"Ha? Oh. That's because I saw Yana's potential.", I smiled.

"Wonderful performance. This is hard to choose. The 5 contestants did their very great in violin. I wonder who will win 1st place? Now, while the judges are still computing the scores. Let's have another performance by the Coordinator's son himself, Gabriel Tan."

The audience all clapped loudly. So I clapped too. I wonder who's this guy who has the same name with Gab.

Gab went out from the backstage. My eyes widened. Wait—he's the Coordinator's son?!!
