*As FolkBeat Harmony continued to refine their performance for School Day, a buzz of excitement lingered in the air. The unexpected change to "First Kiss" had injected a new energy into the ensemble, and anticipation for the event grew among their classmates.*
*In the midst of preparations, Alexandar, who had been a keen observer of the group's practices, approached Teodora with a curious smile.*
Alexandar: (teasingly) So, "First Kiss" now? What happened to "Heartbeat"?
Teodora: (smirking) We decided to spice things up a bit. A fusion of tradition and pop, you know?
Alexandar: (raising an eyebrow) Bold move. I like it. Anything specific behind the change?
Teodora: Just felt like the right time for a change. Keeps things interesting.
*As the day of School Day approached, Alexandar continued to show interest in FolkBeat Harmony's performance. He even volunteered to help with some last-minute preparations.*
Alexandar: (smiling) If you need an extra hand or someone to cheer you on from the audience, count me in.
Teodora: (appreciative) Thanks, Alexandar. Your support means a lot.

Teodora's pov:
*As we were talking and having fun with my friends after the School day, I felt a buzz in my pocket, signaling a call on the Whatsapp. Pulling out my phone, I saw a familiar name on the screen – Tinus💙 .*
Martinus: (sarcastically) So, no invite to the grand School Day performance? I thought we were BEST friends now.
*I chuckled at his playful tone.*
Me: (teasingly) Oh, you know, just wanted to keep it a local affair. You might get overwhelmed by all the Serbian vibes and fans.
Martinus: (laughing) Fair enough. How did it go? I bet it was fantastic.
Me: (grinning) It was! The steps, the music, everything. The crowd loved it...Wait..How do you even know about this?
Martinus: I have tiktok, Teddy, haha
Me: Tiktok??
Martinus: Yeahh, your professor Mr. Smith post it on official ensemble profile.
Me: I didn't know about it, hahah.
Martinus: So.."First Kiss"? Bold move. The remix is fire!
Me: We should ask you and Marcus before we did the remix of the song...I am sorry.
Martinus: Wow girl, no worries. It's allright, I love the remix. Remix is fantastic.
Me: (smiling) Tusen takk. -Thank you so much.-
Martinus: (smiling) You'll have to save the next performance for me.
Me: Deal! Next time, you're on the VIP list. By the way, how's everything on your end?
Martinus: (thoughtfully) Pretty chill. Just catching up on things. Missing our Norway adventures, though.
Me: (nostalgic) Same here. Norway feels like a dream now. Anyway, thanks for the support. It means a lot.
Martinus: Always here to cheer you on, even from a distance. Next time, choose Norwegian song.
Me: Will do! Take care, Marty.
Martinus: You too Teddy.
*As the conversation ended, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected call from Tinus and connections that had blossomed from School Day.*
Kate: In one, two...
Me: Martinus just called me, aaaa!
Kate: And here we go again.
Andrea: Hahahah
Daniel: And what did he tell you?
Me: He found out about the School day because he obviously follows Mr. Smith on tiktok and he said that he likes the remix first of all and next time, if there is an opportunity, he said to dance to the Norwegian song.
Kate: Elektrisk!
Me: Hahaha, anything is possible.
