Chapter Twenty-three

Jenny's pov;

"Did you get all the names for the group performance?" Chris asked me while I was checking the namelist of the participants.

"Yeah, I did."

"Okay. Then don't forget to hand it over to the secretary."

"Got it!"

Chris left after getting the name list from me.

"Jenny!"

Someone called my name. I turned to take a look at the person to whom the cute voice belonged. It's Yuyang, one of my students in the piano class in which I'm learning piano. I'm a student too. Since I'm a senior in piano, the teacher gave some second and third graders under my care to look after them.

I squatted down to her height and asked, "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be  practising for the dance performance, right?"

"But the teacher didn't come to class so others sent me to get you."

"Okay, I'll come in a few minutes. Get to your class first."

She gave a nod and ran.

Today's the music event, so I was assigned to look after the dance performance of second and third graders too.

After giving the students instructions for the dance, I headed to the soloist performance event since my friend Carey is participating in it, I went to cheer her on.

When I looked around in search of her, I found Liam. My heart started to beat faster as soon as I saw him. I don't know how many days I'm going to handle this but I'm sure I will confess to him someday. I have a secret crush on him.

"Jenny! Here!" Carey called out to me. I saw her standing among other participants near the stage.

I walked to her and asked, "When will the event start?"

"In about ten minutes. And where were you? Why are you late?"

"I went to an elementary building to assist a dance performance for second and third graders. And I informed this yesterday too." I flicked her forehead saying, "Did you forget that?"

"Yeah..."

"Coming to your performance, did you practise well?"

She gave a nod but looked nervous.

"What happened? You don't look fine. Are you nervous?"

"No, I'm okay."

"Hey, you can do it."

She gave a nod and shook me suddenly saying, "Look over there. It's Liam."

I looked in the direction where Carey said. Liam was standing while looking into his phone.

"I already saw him while I was searching for you."

"Look at him. He's always with his phone. Who's he messaging? Was it his girlfriend?"

"Isabella didn't say yes to him."

"You forget to add 'yet'. What if she accepts him suddenly? What are you going to do then?"

"Isabella wasn't interested in him. If she was, she would have accepted him in the middle school itself. Why does she have to wait all these years?"

"Then what about you? How long are you planning to wait for him?"

"We've talked a lot about this."

"Yeah, yeah."

While I was talking with Carey, they began the event.
