Teodora's pov:
Ana: (excitedly) Can you believe we're just five days away from Norway?
Kate: (smiling) It's surreal. I never imagined we'd make it this far.
Me: (looking around at the decorated courtyard) The school really went all out for our farewell.
Max: (grinning) Well, we are representing them on an international stage. It's a big deal!
Daniel: (joining the conversation) I overheard some students talking about us in the hallway. Everyone's buzzing about the competition.
David: (nodding) The support from the school is incredible. We'll make them proud.
Ana: (noticing a group of students approaching) Looks like we've got some well-wishers.
*As the students approached, they began to express their excitement and support*
Student 1: You guys are going to Norway? That's so cool!
Student 2: We'll be cheering for you. Bring back the trophy!
Professor: (addressing the ensemble) Remember, you not only represent FolkBeat Harmony but the spirit of our entire school. Make every performance count.
*Amidst the cheers and well-wishes, a subtle undercurrent of dissent lingered. A small group of students, known for their skepticism and rivalry, observed us send-off with narrowed eyes.*
Skeptic 1: (mocking tone) Off to Norway to dance with the Vikings, huh?
Skeptic 2: (sarcastic) Maybe they'll teach you a thing or two about real music.
*Despite the excitement in the air, the disapproving glances and comments couldn't be ignored.*
Ana: (rolling her eyes) Some people just can't stand seeing others succeed.
Kate: (brushing it off) Let them talk. Our performance will speak for itself.
Me: (determined) We can't let negativity get to us. We have a mission in Norway.
Max: (nodding) They'll be singing a different tune when we bring back that trophy.
Ana: (whispering to us) Ignore them. Focus on the positive energy. We're doing something incredible, and not everyone will understand.
Kate: (smiling) You're right, Ana. Let's not let a few skeptics dampen our spirits.
Daniel: (encouragingly) We've got this, guys. In five days, we'll be showcasing the beauty of our culture and music on an international stage.
David: (looking at the skeptics) And maybe, just maybe, we'll change a few minds along the way.
The next part will be longer
