Hi everyone! Here is the next chapter. Thank you for the reviews and the faves, It really makes my day! :) This chapter takes place the day after chapter one. There will still be some AU and OOC that makes the story work. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Characters...:(

Sophie POV

For the first time in forever I wasn't woken by the sun shining in my eyes. For once I had remembered to close the curtains. I gave myself a little credit for remembering. But not waking up early resulted in me having less time getting ready for school. I had to hurried through my morning routine and I ran down the stairs to join the rest of my family. Edaline and Grady sat at the dining table as usual both of them reading one scroll each. I got a little curious, but just like yesterday I didn't bother asking about it. This time Grady was the one who looked at me when I sat down at the table.

"Oh Sophie. Nice that you could join us at last," he said jokingly.

"Yeah, I actually remembered to close the curtains yesterday!" Grady responded with a mini-applause

"You know that Dame Alina will present who won the auditions today, first session in the great hall, right?" Ha, I had forgotten all about the auditions already...

"Of course I remember! It's not like I could forget something they important after like one night..."

"Yeah of course you wouldn't," he said, with a small smile playing on his lips.

When I got to Foxfire I walked straight to the great hall where I met Biana. We both small talked while the rest of the students filled the room. After about ten minutes Dame Alina stepped up on the stage and called for silence.

"Good morning prodigies! Me and the rest of the mentors have now decided who will perform on the summer dance. And the prodigy that will be performing is... Drumroll please..." all the students started stomping their feet on floor, making a drumroll sound. "Keefe Sencen! Will you please enter the stage." Of course he won. He is the one singing like an angel... wait what? I started blushing just by the thought of his voice. Keefe walked up on the stage to the applause of all girls in the school, and some jealous mumbles from the guys. But Dame Alina was not finished.

"Before we start celebrating mr. Sencen I have another announcement to make. A little bird whispered in my ear that we have yet another talented prodigy at this school who didn't get the chance to perform yesterday. Will Sophie Foster please enter the stage?" WHAT! Me? But, but I don't want to sing! Or I do, but I cant! Biana looked at me with a grin that said "what are you doing? Enter the stage!" and elbowed me in the ribs. Still confused I slowly walked up, blushing harder than ever. I quickly looked at Keefe, noticing he was staring right at me. Smirking. When I was standing on the stage I looked down at the other students, who was now staring at me instead of at Keefe. Well some girls were still staring at him, but the majority looked at me. Then I saw Valin he was staring intensely at me smiling with pride and admiration. He had told Dame Alina. There was no doubt.

"Sophie Foster," Dame Alina's voice rang waking me from my thoughts. "You will come to my office at the begging of your afternoon session, and perform alone in front of me and Keefe. If we think you sing good enough, you and Keefe will do a duet. That's all folks! Return to your classes as quick as possible, remember this is a noble school and we don't accept laziness!" And with that all prodigies and mentors stared walking out of the room, small talking just like normal. But I was startled. I was going to sing in front of Dame Alina and Keefe of all people. Keefe was kind of turning into my least favorite person in this school, except maybe Stina... and Valin... But anyways! Whenever he was around something embarrassing always happened, and if I was to perform a duet with him on the summer dance in front of the whole school, it couldn't result in anything but a disaster...

Keefe POV

It's not like I was surprised when I was selected as the one who will perform on the summer dance. I was actually kind of expecting it... Yeah, I know I'm awesome, it's not new to me. What did surprise me though was Fosters emotions when I was "selected". They went from like "i don't care who won" to "well of course he won, he's amazing" and then to embarrassment, witch I now knew was pretty basic for her. It was times like this I loved being an empath. So maybe Sophie had a little crush on me? Hm, I wasn't surprised now either, but for some reason it made me kind of happy... Anyways. It was really fun to se (and feel) her shock and embarrassment as Dame Alina told her to enter the stage. And when she announced that Foster would sing a duet with me her cheeks went very red. Like real red. Like "omg this is the ripest tomato ever!" red. And I couldn't help but notice that the color complimented her eyes really well... It would be really fun to hear her sing after lunch, because I knew Dame Alina would make us sing together at the summer dance. There's no way Dame Alina would let such talent go to waste. Of course I was still the better singer though...or was I? Yeah, no one could beat me! So anyways, as I left the great hall I met up with Fitz who gave me a high five.

"Nice job! I hate to say it but your performance yesterday was pretty awesome"

"Well, are you really surprised? I am the great Keefster after all" I said this with a cocky grin to make him know that I was not.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. But I didn't know Sophie could sing. Weird that she hasn't told me, since we're friends and all..."

"Wait, you know her? I didn't even know who she was until today!" My best friend knew Foster?

"Dude, she's been like the talk of the town for four years now. She's been a huge deal since I picked her up from the forbidden cities."

"That's her? Huh, I never knew..." Huh, guess Foster was more mysterious than I had thought...

"Your self-obsessed-ness has gotten to a whole new level. You don't even know what's happening around you"

"When your as awesome as me you don't need the world, the world needs you." That was definitely going to be my new policy.

After lunch I walked towards Dame Alina's office. I had been here billions of times. What could I do? It was just too fun to put gulon gas in her office. She fell for it every time... Ah, memories. Then I suddenly stopped. From the bathrooms further down the hall I heard a singing voice, Fosters no doubt. It felt a little like I was in heaven just by hearing her sing again, and I started to rethink the whole "I'm the better singer" stuff. If anyone could beat my singing it was her. For a moment I thought of standing outside the bathrooms and listen, but then I realized that that would be pretty creepy... Like real creepy... So instead I sat down on one of the stools. Soon Foster joined me, sitting down on the stool furthest away from me, looking down at the floor all the time while her cheeks were blushed.

"Foster," I greeted her.

"Keefe." She answered. I got curious.

"How do you know my name?"

"I could ask you the same." Right.

"So I've heard you can sing?" I felt that this conversation was kind of one sided.

"No, I really can't. It's just this guy that thinks I can. His name is Valin and he's the "little bird" Dame Alina was talking about." Okay this was going to be fun. Apparently she didn't know I was the one telling Dame Alina, thank god, and she thought this Valin-guy was the one. Was he her boyfriend? But I didn't get the low self-esteem though... She had to know she had a great voice.

"Well guess we'll see soon." And with that the conversation was over. She just continued staring at the floor and I secretly watched her. Today her hair was in a ponytail, letting more light shine down on her face. Her eyes glimmered as the light hit them. And once again I realized I was being creepy and looked away. Fortunately Dame Alina came and let us in to her office a few minutes later.

"Welcome miss Foster and mr. Sencen. Please have a seat. So to start with I want to make some things clear." She turned to Foster. "Neither I or mr. Scensen will laugh or make fun of you if you sing the wrong words or make any other mistake while singing." She turned to me. "Right mr. Sencen?"

"Absolutely!" I couldn't help the little smile that creeped on my lips. She was playing well Dame Alina. She was not going to tell I was the "little bird", and I was for ever thankful. Maybe i wouldn't prank her this week... I said maybe. Dame Alina looked at Sophie expecting her to say something.

"Oh, well the thing is... I don't... really... like... want to... you know... sing in front of... you guys..." She said awkwardly while blushing real bad.

"Oh I understand Sophie, but it's just us. You don't have to sing much, only a little bit."

"I'm sorry, I can't..." I almost felt bad for Foster.

"Okay, we understand Sophie." Foster started to walk out of the room. What! Dame Alina was just letting her go?

"Wait a minute Sophie. I didn't say you could go. You can stand in the corner over there, facing the wall. It will be just like singing alone in your room." Foster slowly came back and walked to the corner Dame Alina had been pointing at. She turned around so she was facing the wall, and we only saw her back. She stood there awkwardly a few moments but then she started singing quietly. I had heard her sing before. Both in the great hall yesterday and in the bathrooms only a couple of minutes ago. But both those times there had been a wall between us. Now her delicate voice rang in the room surrounding both me and Dame Alina. It felt like I was under some kind of spell. The only thing I could think about was her. It took a few moments before I could even move. I looked over on Dame Alina and smirked a little when I saw that she was just as awed as I was. Yup, Foster and I were going to sing together on the summer dance, that was pretty clear. The song ended and Foster turned around, smiling nervously. Dame Alina then told Foster what I had known she was going to tell her.

"You sing like an angel, and you will perform with Keefe on the summer dance. You don't even have a choice right now." Yup, they was the truest thing she's ever said. I looked back at Foster who was looking down at the floor, but her face shone with pride and she was smiling.

Sophie POV

I was pretty happy with that. I mean the thought of performing in front of the whole school scares me to death, and I actually thought of singing bad on purpose so they wouldn't let me sing. But at the last second I changed my mind and sang as well as I possibly could. And that felt good. When I turned around both Dame Alina and Keefe was staring at me with awe, which made me smile with pride. Yeah it was amazing...

When Dame Alina had told us that we would take thirty minutes each day to practice for the dance, I started walking towards my locker. And as I walked as I walked out the doors of Dame Alina's Keefe ran after me and started walking beside me. Smirking while doing so.

"So Foster, what was that about you not singing well? You have to work on your self-esteem," I blushing, again, and smiled shyly.

"Does that mean you think I do sing well? I was really nervous to hear the answer.

"Yeah, I believe it does!" That made me happier than I cared to admit to myself. As we walked separate ways to get to our lockers Keefe turned around to face me.

"Se you tomorrow then, Foster!" I longed already.

Thanks for reading this chapter! I'm not that happy with the ending, but I hope it's not too bad. I still really appreciate faves and follows as well as reviews. PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS FOR FUTURE CHAPTERS IF YOU HAVE ANY! Thank you again, love you guys! ;)
