Tugging Heartstings

'It's almost time.' You think to yourself as you walk through the gates of your school with your guitar case in your hand, guitar safely inside of course.

You were heading to the auditorium for the annual school Music Quest show, you participate every year but this year was a bit different, it would be the last one you play in before you graduate but also something else.

'I'll show you.' You think as your determination level raised, filling you with confidence to slap him across the face with your music.

The sun was already starting to set. You grip the handle on the guitar case and broadly smile. You weren't scared, you were excited.

At the auditorium, your upperclassmen, Petra waved at you. You smile at your friend and walk over to her.

"Hey Petra, ready for us to show your stupid ex what he's missing?" You put the case down beside you, Petra gave a little look.

"Oh come on I'm over it, we broke up a month ago and I have a boyfriend now! Anyway this isn't for me to prove myself, it's for you to prove yourself to all the boys out there." Petra nudged you and winked, you playfully shove her a bit. You both laugh.

"Let's just tune the guitars." You pull her along with your guitar. Everything was well, your act of Electric and Acoustic Crossover melodised perfectly. You played the Electric guitar while Petra played the Acoustic guitar.

Both of you were tuning your instruments when he walked past.

Levi Ackerman, the rudest and most popular boy in school. With his black cut hair, deadpan expression, monotone voice, what an ass. You narrowed your eyes as he walked past.

There was a rivalry here for a long time between you two, you never knew why you disliked him, maybe because he was always extra rude to you but this time he made your blood boil. And for good reason.

'I'll show you just how good I am Ackerman.' You glance at your watch, it was an hour before show time at 7pm. All in good time, you'd show off your last Music Quest performance.

~3 Days Earlier~

"That sounded great [F/n]!" Petra threw an arm on your shoulders. You smiled and strummed one last time, the sound echoed in the empty music room.

Then yours and Petra's friends walked in, Levi, Gunther, Eld and Petra's boyfriend Oluo were friends of hers commonly known as the Levi Squad. You give a small, annoyed sigh upon seeing Deadfaced Levi but smiled upon seeing Eren, Mikasa and Armin.

"Shall we play again for them?" Petra whispered to you, you agree and together, you and Petra played the best of any of your practice performances. Pride swept through the both of you as everyone applauded, Levi's expression hadn't changed and he gave a slow clap.

"We've just got a little bit of work to do before it's absolutely perfect." You say proudly and put an arm around Petra's shoulders, she mirrors your actions and throws her other hand in the air.

"Yeah [F/n], you really need to work in some stuff." You look at him, Levi stared you dead in the eye. It was his monotone voice no doubt, you exasperated angrily.

"Like what Ackerman?" Anger clearly present in your voice, the room was silent as you held Levi's gaze. Petra had slowly slipped from your side and went to Oluo, Armin gave you a look as if to say Stop-before-it-gets-any-worse.

"You hit bad notes [F/n], a lot of them and you played sloppily." You felt anger build up more inside, you shoved your guitar into his hands.
