The group of friends made their way to the local music venue, The Lillinrones, with their instruments in tow. As they entered, their eyes widened with awe. The venue was spacious and exuded a cool vibe, with dim lights casting a warm glow on the wooden interior. The walls were adorned with posters of legendary musicians, adding to the ambiance. People were sitting there eating and drinking, other were laughing and chatting as a nice music was playing from the speakers.
<<No way, it's so cool here.>> Marianne said under her breath, admiring the posters on the wall. Lily nodded as well to her friend <<I didn't know this place exhisted.>>.
Shortly after were greeted by the owner, Mark Smith, who warmly shook their hands and offered a friendly smile <<Welcome, you finally arrived! You should be the Harmonizers, am I right?>>. the man was wearinb a pair of well-fitted dark trousers, slightly faded from wear, that rest just above his waist. His shirt is a crisp, button-down Oxford-style shirt in a muted shade, perfectly ironed and tucked neatly into his pants. The fabric of the shirt accentuates his broad shoulders and gives him a polished appearance.
Over his shirt, he wore a tailored navy-blue blazer, the gold buttons adding a touch of sophistication.
His face carries the gentle weathering of age, with a few lines etched at the corners of his eyes and along his forehead. His face is clean-shaven, showcasing a strong jawline, his eyes were of a deep shade of brown and his nose was pretty big.
Y/n smiled gently and nodded to him <<Yes it's us. I am Y/n. They are Lucas, Lily and Marianne.>> she introduced them, wehere her friends smiled as a greet.
The owner looks at them and nods as a greet back and speak <<I've been looking forward to your performance. Follow me.>> he said, leading them through the bustling crowd towards the designated stage area.
Y/n thanked him, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
This was their moment to shine, and the anticipation was palpable.
<<If you have any issues, you know where to find me.>> the owner said, before walking away. The group quickly set up their instruments, ensuring everything was in place.
Lucas sat behind the drums, Marianne and Lily played with the cords of their bass and their guitar to check if they could be heard and Y/n checked her microphone. She turned to look at them <<When you are ready, you start.>> Y/n said, as a few people noticed them and their instruments. They were curious of what they were going to sing.
Lucas started to beat three times his drumsticks together, then they started playing.

As they began their first song, a hush fell over the crowd. Conversations ceased, forks were lowered, and drinks were put aside. All eyes were now on the Harmonizers.
Lucas showcased his drumming prowess, infusing every beat with energy and precision. Marianne's fingers danced along the strings of her bass, adding a smooth and melodic undertone to the music. Lily rocked out on her electric guitar, her fingers gliding effortlessly over the strings, producing electrifying riffs. And then there was Y/n, whose voice captured the hearts of everyone in the room. Her vocals were a perfect blend of soul and clarity, resonating through the venue.
The audience was captivated by their performance. Cheers and applause filled the room as people were swept away by the music. Y/n couldn't help but smile, her eyes scanning the crowd, taking in the joy on their faces and the rhythm in their clapping hands. Their dream of performing had finally come true. They loved it.
However, amidst the sea of cheering faces, Y/n noticed one person who stood out with an indifferent expression. A boy, standing at a distance, caught her attention. Tall and striking, he wore a rock jacket adorned with pins. His dark skin, large nose, and thick afro hair added to his unique appearance. He sported piercings on his nose, lip and eyebrow, giving him an edgy and punk vibe. He leaned against the wall, intently listening to the music. Unlike other people who were moving a lot, he was staying still, just moving his food to keep up with the rhythm.
His expression was an apathetic and indifferent, and he was looking straight in her eyes. Y/n's gaze lingered on him for a moment, wondering what thoughts were running through his mind, looking back at his eyes.
She continued singing, giving her all to the music, hyping up the crowd with each note.

The night unfolded with an electric atmosphere, the music resonating with the audience's hearts. Every time they finished a song, the crowd begged them to keep play another song.
Y/n, Lucas, Lily, and Marianne poured their passion into every song, creating a magical connection with the crowd. The energy in the room soared as the music filled every corner, weaving its way into the hearts of those in attendance.
As the final notes of their last song echoed through the venue, the crowd erupted in a thunderous applause. Y/n felt a sense of accomplishment wash over her, knowing that they had touched the souls of everyone present. They had made their mark on The Lillinrones, leaving an indelible impression.
Y/n locked eyes with her friends, sharing a moment of pure joy and satisfaction. The dream they had nurtured for so long had become a reality, and it was even better than they had imagined.
