Zakou and Axel both stood around, both moving closer to the stage to get a better look as everyone around them chatted with excitement. Zakou scoffed, glaring at two people in the front row, jerking his head to the left quickly.
The two girls looked up in fear before quickly scurrying away. Zakou smirked, crossing his arms as he and Axel both sat down. Sometimes, having as much power as Zakou did was handy.
"So, why exactly are we staying here?" Axel asked, wringing his hands together as he glanced between Zakou and the stage nervously.
Zakou crossed his arms, turning to face Axel as the lights around them began to dim. "Because Axel," Zakou paused, licking his lips as he looked around as everyone got quiet.
"Because, we need to know if our new, "competition" is even real competition." He said quietly, lowering his voice before shifting in his seat and facing towards the stage.
It was quiet for a moment, then Claire walked out on stage. She moved with power and confidence, Zakou rolled his eyes.
She approached the microphone, gently holding on to it as she scanned the crowd, her lands landing on the two boys in the front as soft music began playing.
She started singing, closing her eyes a bit as she smirked down at Alex and Zakou who were more in a state of shock.
She was good. Really good.
"Shit." Zakou muttered under his breath, looking down at the ground as Axel looked over at him.
Claire then looked out at everyone else, hitting a particularly high note as she did, the audience all captivated by the performance.
By the end of her performing multiple songs, the audience was cheering and Claire did a small curtsy before gracefully exiting the stage.
The lights came back on a little bit later, everyone standing up and chattering among themselves cheerfully.
All except for two.
"I can't believe this, I have a rival now." Zakou said, still in a but of shock and slight worry of how this might negatively affect his business.
"Zakou listen, you've got the upper hand here. She's new, we can ruin her easily!" Axel shrugged, smiling slighting in hopes of changing the mood.
He and Zakou continued discussing things for a few minutes until Zakou felt someone bump into him.
He turned to look, seeing Claire walking away with a grin.
"How's that for competition?"
