(Y/n's P.O.V)
Y/n's heart raced as they stood before the stage. They had been practicing for months, but the thought of performing in front of their entire school was terrifying. The teachers had been taking notes on everyone's performance, and the pressure was overwhelming. When Y/n's name was called, they walked slowly towards the stage, shaking with fear. Despite their fear of large groups and stages, they had signed up for this.
Standing in the center of the stage, Y/n felt the weight of everyone's eyes on them. The stage lights were blinding, and Y/n could barely make out the faces of their classmates in the audience. The music started, and Y/n began to sing. However, their nerves got the best of them, and they couldn't dance. Y/n's own family had made fun of their dancing skills, and they didn't want to face the potential ridicule of their classmates for the next seven years.
Y/n ran off the stage and out of the Great Hall, with their boyfriend Tom chasing after them. They kept running until they reached a dead end and collapsed on the floor. Tom comforted Y/n, assuring them that they would have done great. Y/n's head was pounding, and they were drenched in sweat from the anxiety. Tears streamed down their cheeks as they buried their head in Tom's shoulder.
"Why did I think that was a good idea?" Y/n asked, their voice shaking.
"Y/n, it's okay," Tom said, rubbing Y/n's back. "I'm sure you would have done great. How about we head back to our common room?"
Y/n nodded, grateful for Tom's comfort. They both returned to their common room, with Y/n feeling embarrassed and defeated.
