The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 96

Yvette and her posse were still goading Ellinor.

"Alright! If you can play a song today and get every single one of us here to applaud, you win! Then we'll do whatever you ask, no need for apologies."

Ellinor remained stone-faced, "Deal."

The lead girl continued, "But, if your performance stinks and can't get us all on board, you'll have to crawl out of here, and we're gonna film it and post it on the school forum! You still up for the challenge?"

Ellinor frowned, paused for a couple seconds, seemingly considering the proposition, then said, "Sure."

The girl smirked scornfully, "Then you go up and play, if you lose, don't be foolish!"

Ellinor turned and took the violin from Yvette.

Yvette put on a pretence of concern, "Ellinor, you should bow out of this challenge. Girls need to have dignity; crawling out would be so embarrassing!"

Ellinor smiled slightly, "How do you know I'll fail before I even start?"

Yvette taunted, "Ellinor, the violin is way harder than the guitar. The fingering is tough. I'm just trying to save you from making a fool of yourself!"

"Thanks for your concern!" Ellinor didn't say more, casually tuned her violin, then looked up at Yvette, "Weren't you going to sing? Shouldn't you be preparing?"

Yvette just snorted. She didn't really care about Ellinor, she just wanted to see this country bumpkin make a fool of herself!

Yvette again feigned concern, advising Ellinor a few more times, then with a helpless expression, she took center stage, adjusted the mic, and prepared to sing.

However, she wasn't ready to start singing..

She had always believed Ellinor wouldn't be able to play well; she couldn't accompany her properly, and in the end, she still had to rely on herself to play and sing!

Under the watchful and skeptical eyes of everyone, Ellinor finally started to play.

It was noise, not music!

Ellinor was playing the violin haphazardly, it was chaotic and ear-piercing, causing disgust among the students on stage.

"OMG, I almost thought Ellinor could really play the violin!"

"She dares to go on stage with such terrible playing!"

This was the expected outcome!

How could a girl from the countryside possibly understand the art of elegant music?

Those from remote areas, in order to make a difference, might really work hard academically, and it's not surprising to become excellent students, but when it came to artistic cultivation, it's hard to reach a high level!

Kemp looked on indifferently, with no obvious expression on his face.

Jonah shook his head and sighed, putting his hand on Theo's shoulder, "Theo, it looks like your new bride can't play an instrument!"

Theo's eyes were deep; he squinted, a smirk playing on his lips, "Really?"

Jonah raised an eyebrow, what else could it be? Her performance was already this bad; what was there to doubt?

Just then, the ear-piercing noise from across became pleasant.

Jonah was taken aback, he turned to look again, thinking someone had replaced Ellinor, but to his surprise, it was still her playing the violin!
