Chapter 46 - Ch. 46 Why Did She Become Famous?

In the next lesson class, Kaylee could not concentrate at all and instead cried silently. She even banged her head on the table, lamenting her unfortunate fate.

'Stupid Kaylee. Stupid, stupid, stupid Kaylee. Why did you do that for?'

Yup. Currently, Kaylee regretted her actions and now could not escape from this music battle. Plus, their opponent was a pop-rock band that was ultimately not her style.

Her music style was a modern contemporary or pop-classical genre. Well, she could play a little bit jazzy, but definitely not rock.

And now, the theme chosen in their music battle was the rock-like music, making Kaylee nervous.

Even though she was a genius and could learn all kinds of music genres in a short time, it doesn't mean she fancied to play that kind of noisy music.

This type of rock music was very much at odds with her elegant, graceful, and classy nature, such as the type of classical music reserved explicitly for aristocrats. If this kind of rock to be played, only Nicholas could play it.

Huhuhu… what should she do? Why did she have to be famous on this campus?

Before she could stop the music battle news from spreading, everyone was aware of the battle and was eager to see their performance.

The rumors that spread like viruses were terrifying. Kaylee hoped that the earth would open up and devour her to the bottom. That way, everyone would sympathize with her for having an accident and not expecting too much of this music battle.

Kaylee could only curse her period time. Every time she had her period, she would quickly get irritated, and her mood would worsen and act like someone who did not know the 'fear' word. When Kaylee couldn't stand her terrible mood, she would turn into someone who was not herself at all.

She became more courageous and made trouble as if she was drunk, but she would regret it all day and shut herself in the room.

That's why, every time she had her period, Kaylee preferred to stay away from her friends and went to the library reading books.

Hhhh... Kaylee did not know how many times she sighed, so many times that she lost counts. She was still lazy to move even though her class was over and the professor had left the class.

Kaylee, who initially laid her head towards her left side, now raised her head to change its position to the right. Her eyes were suddenly taken aback when they saw Jacob stare at her with an interested gaze with a big, dazzling smile.

Since when did Jacob sit next to her? Why was that young man smiling like that at her? Didn't he know that a smile like that could make her heart melt and want to be carried away by the water wherever the current took her?

[Author: Of course he doesn't know]

Kaylee lifted her head and straightened her body while clearing 'something' in her throat.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I didn't know you could be this ferocious. Has anyone got into you?"

"…"

"Besides, why did you guys fight in the first?"

"It's because of that skull head making fun of you," replied Adam, who now joined them and sat in front of the two of them.

"Making fun of me? Then?"

"We intended to keep quiet, but that person bothered Nick. It makes my heart boiling."

"Ha? Aren't you angry because they made fun of Jack?" Kaylee thought everyone was helping her because they didn't like hearing people make fun of Jacob as much as her. Hence she didn't understand why Adam gave the impression he was feeling angry because someone bothered her?

"We don't like his way of talking about Jake like that, but that's not enough to beat the kid. I got annoyed when he gave that mock challenge tone at you."

"Good job." Jacob aimed his fist at Adam, who his friend immediately greeted in the style of another teenage fist bump. "I will also be angry if someone disturbs you." The young man said to Kaylee, making the girl skip a beat.

"W… Wait a minute. Why did you do that? You don't have to do it."

"Hm? I have no idea. I feel like you are exceptional, and suddenly I feel annoyed to see someone bothering you." Adam's confession earned a nod in agreement by Jacob while Kaylee opened her mouth wide.

"I never expected to hear this from someone who had bummed me before," Kaylee snorted sarcastically, making Adam scratch his head.

"Aiya, Nick. Do you still remember it? At that time, we were childish."

"Hm. It's good if you know that."

Adam and Jacob's giggle made Kaylee laugh with them. This was the difference in the friendship between women and men.

If between women, once one of them made a mistake, their grudge would remain for years. Meanwhile, they were easier to forgive and return to friends among men without remembering their past mistakes.

For some reason, Kaylee felt more comfortable with guys than with girls. Well, of course… she could only hang out like this only when she was impersonating Nick.

Once her appearance changed and she became Kaylee, she couldn't possibly be friends and joke like this with her friends.

"Btw, Nick. When are you going to meet Roe with me?"

Jeez! Kaylee almost forgot about this. She had promised to bring the young man to her, and Kaylee never broke her promise.

Hence, she decided to appear as Roe tonight. After all, she's having a meeting with her client tonight. She could meet Jacob first before going to the meeting place.

"How about six o'clock in the evening? I heard Roe was in her studio discussing songs with her client. You can come to the studio."

"You mean it? Where is the studio?"

Kaylee gave the young man the address of her studio before she contacted her make-up artist.

She could remodel her appearance on her own without a make-up artist, but her speed and neatness were not as good as her make-up artist. She remembered that she had additional lessons with Declan from three o'clock for an hour. She had two hours to transform into Roe before seeing Jacob.

If she asked her make-up artist for help, then the disguise would be done an hour faster than she'd done it on her own.

At precisely three in the afternoon, Kaylee arrived at Declan Black's workroom for additional pending lessons.

After knocking a few times and getting no answer, Kaylee decided to open the door without feeling guilty.

As expected, Declan had yet to arrive at this place, and without realizing it, her heart was pounding again as she waited for the man's arrival.

Why does she feel like she's waiting for her date to come?

After taking out her notebook on what she had learned from the song Require to Live on the long table, Kaylee decided to practice for a bit.

She warmed up by playing the scales on the twelve major and minor scales along with arpeggios and chromatic scales. Her fingers were very skilled at playing all scales perfectly without any mistakes. Even as her fingers jumped to do an arpeggio, not a single finger missed notes or slipped the tuts by accident.

She played all the scales and arpeggios flawlessly and perfectly neat.

Even though she finished playing all the scales, there was still no sign of Declan's appearance, so Kaylee decided to play contrary motion on all scales.

Little did she know that Declan had arrived in front of his office and heard all the scales she played.

Declan wondered why the scale that Kaylee played was so perfect without even a single error note. Usually, even the most outstanding pianist would make mistakes when playing one of the harmonics minor scales or playing an arpeggio.

But Nicholas was able to play all twelve minor scales so perfectly. The young man didn't even sound exhausted, as if he already knew how to press the keys with a loud voice without using the weight of his muscles.

Interesting.

This boy didn't lie when he said he was satisfied with his piano skills. Declan thought Nick still needed a lot of experience and knowledge in playing the piano, but it seemed that there was nothing to teach the young man if Nick could play all scales so flawlessly.

The neatness and stability of the unhurried tempo indicate that Nick had become a professional pianist. This made Declan even more confused.

If he becomes a professional piano at eighteen, when did the boy start to learn piano?

Since he had been eavesdropping on the child's finger practice from outside for too long, Declan decided to enter his room.

However, he did not expect to receive such a broad smile and glowing gaze from the young man to greet him!

Declan closed his eyes to remove the young man's face and tried to remember the girl he had just met last night.

Unfortunately, Kaylee often kept her head down and almost never smiled at him.

Wait a minute… why is he comparing the smiles of the two of them?!
