Both Stanley and Sean had arrived at that moment. While setting up the equipment, Stanley saw how nervous Sophia was and tried to calm her down. “Stop worrying, we have a killer performance lined up. We’re gonna win this! Come on, look at me. Let’s take deep breaths. Breathe in, breathe out.”

Sophia had never been such a nervous wreck until that very moment.

At that moment, Sean chimed in. “If you’re feeling nervous, just hold your amulet. Your dad had it on him for 29 years and he aced every test. Just hold it and you’ll feel better.”

Upon hearing that, she reached out to touch her amulet and prayed. “God bless me. Please watch over me.”

With her newfound courage through the amulet, she started to calm down.

While the other girls were already prepared, she took her time and went to get her outfit.

“Sophia, you really came!”

The voice came from behind her. As soon as she turned, she saw Faye’s unfamiliar face.

It was not too long ago since Sophia last saw her, but she looked like she underwent puberty again. She no longer looked like the Faye Edwards that Sophia remembered—the girl looked as if she had bigger eyes with softer cheeks. Not only did her forehead look fuller, but her nose was sharper too!

Faye and Xyla had walked together as they approached Sophia with Richard following behind them.

 

It was because of Sophia that Xyla and Richard became the laughing stock of Bayside University and as a result, disgust and hatred were clearly etched on their faces.

To Sophia, they looked better with that expression on their faces. In fact, she preferred it over their condescending attitudes.

 

Glancing at the trio, Xyla rolled her eyes. “A performance is a requirement for the campus belle contest. I wonder what you have planned. Wait, let me guess… Are you writing calligraphy?”
