Chapter 431
Since Sophie had taken her seat, Ysabelle sat down as well.
A few classmates who were close to Ysabelle also came over and joined them.
“As expected, you guys are shunning an old fogey like me, right?” said the homeroom teacher unhappily.
“What are you talking about, Teach? You’re not old at all. By the way, I heard you’re not married yet. Do you want me to introduce a girl to you?” one of the girls asked.
“Sure. Introduce one to me, please,” the homeroom teacher replied jokingly.
“Hmm… Let me think about what kind of girl is worthy of you.” Teach is so humorous and delightful! He deserves a wonderful girlfriend.
Everyone continued to eat as they chatted away.
The atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
Since they had graduated, all the guys imbibed alcohol during the gathering. Moments later, one of the guys approached Sophie with two bottles of beer and handed one over to her.
“Hi, Sophie. I’m Gregory, who’s been sitting on your right in class.”
Sophie recognized the tall and burly guy, Gregory Chambers, and took the beer. I remember him. He did not excel academically but was good at sports.
“I’ve fallen in love with you since the first day you came to our class,” Gregory blurted out blatantly. Since we won’t get to see each other as much in the future, I must seize the opportunity to confess my love for Sophie today.
“I see.”
With a fork, Sophie casually opened the beer bottle in her hand and clinked Gregory’s.
“Thank you for that.”
She did not know what to say to him besides that.
Sophie then chugged the whole bottle of beer in one go.
Gregory was dumbfounded when he saw that.
What an aggressive girl! Since she has finished her bottle, I should finish mine as well.
“I know it’s not possible for us to get together, but since we have graduated now, I want to express my true feelings and move on with my life after this,” Gregory added. Or else, it’s going to be painful if I keep this one-sided love in my heart for the rest of my life.
It’s good that he’d think that way.
Sophie disliked being pestered by someone, and neither did Tristan. Therefore, Sophie appreciated Gregory’s decision to let go after expressing his feelings.
However, someone took a video of the scene and sent it to Willow.
Willow felt irritated after watching the video. Sophie just won’t stop seducing others no matter where she goes. But now that I have this video in my possession, maybe I should use it as a bargaining chip and have a talk with her.
After eating, the students of Senior Class 8 went to the karaoke lounge.
The place was basically Ysabelle’s home ground.
Since she loved singing, she sang almost the whole time while the other classmates listened. They didn’t have any problem with that, for her voice was melodious.
“All of you better cherish this opportunity. Ysabelle is making a debut soon. By then, you guys will have to pay if you want to listen to her singing.”
“Ysabelle, can you give me your autograph after this? I’m going to make money with it when you become popular,” someone said jokingly.
“Sure. I’ll give you dozens of autographs so that you won’t starve to death when you fail to earn a living in the future,” Ysabelle joked.
“Hey, Sophie. I’ve never heard you sing before. Since it’s such a happy occasion today, why don’t you sing a song for us?”
They bore no ill intention and merely wanted to hear Sophie sing.
“Hey! Don’t give Sophie a hard time.” Gregory quickly defended Sophie.
“What are you talking about, Gregory? We only want to hear her sing. How is that giving her a hard time?” said one of the students. He’s so shameless! Sophie has just rejected him, and he’s already defending her now.
“Sophie, sing us a song!” said the homeroom teacher. Sophie is a multitalented person. Although I have never heard her sing before, my instinct tells me she can sing pretty well.
“Come on, Sophie. Show them what you’ve got!”
With that, Ysabelle quickly picked one of The Wheelers’ most famous songs.
Though the song was famous, it was rarely picked in the karaoke lounge due to the genre of the music. Rock music was typically difficult to sing, and that particular song was exceptionally challenging to the vocal.
With a slight mistake in vocal technique, the singer’s voice would sound gruff and unpleasant.
“Ysabelle, aren’t you Sophie’s best friend? How can you set her up like this to complement yourself?” someone questioned.
The song was too challenging and would be a disaster for inexperienced singers.
“What are you talking about? You don’t believe in Sophie, do you?” Ysabelle knew her classmates put it that way because none of them knew Sophie was the person who wrote the song.
If they knew the truth, they wouldn’t have said that.
“Soph, here. Take the mic.” Ysabelle directly passed the microphone to Sophie.
In order to not embarrass Ysabelle, Sophie parted her lips to sing.
The room immediately plunged into pin-drop silence.
Oh, dear! I can’t believe a top student like Sophie is actually multitalented and can even sing rock music so well. Her cover is definitely comparable to the original song.
Meanwhile, the homeroom teacher smiled.
Just as he had expected, Sophie was a multi-talented person. She could do well in anything, be it in academics or some other aspect.
How can there be such a perfect person in this world? She’s so perfect that she makes people around her envious.
Excited, the guys sang along with Sophie. Soon, it was as if everyone in the private room formed an impromptu choir group.
A few minutes later, the song came to an end.
Ysabelle handed a bottle of water to Sophie.
“Sophie, I know you sang for my sake. Aww! I’ve always known you’re the nicest to me,” Ysabelle quickly buttered her friend up.
“That’s enough. Stop flattering me, and don’t ask me to sing again.”
“Why? You sing well,” asked Ysabelle. If she were to make a debut, she would definitely become exceedingly popular. She’s charming, intelligent, talented, and attractive. A perfect girl like her wouldn’t even need a public persona to conceal her shortcomings, for she doesn’t have any.
“Also, haven’t you been preparing for the concert? It’s a good opportunity for you to make your debut!”
Ysabelle could not understand why Sophie refused to do so since the latter was obviously talented.
“This concert is to fulfill everyone’s dream. I’m still my old self once everything comes to an end,” Sophie insisted.
Ysabelle was somehow disappointed to hear that. What a pity.
“The entertainment industry isn’t that scary. You can always come and have fun when you’re free.”
“Have fun yourself, and don’t worry about me.” Sophie was clear with her purpose in life and already had her own plans.
Subsequently, the guys continued drinking while the girls sang and played games.
Ysabelle was in a bit of a daze when a guy suddenly confessed his love for her.
She had always hoped someone would fall in love with her and confess his love for her, but when it actually happened, she did not feel as excited as she thought she would be.
The look of confusion on Ysabelle’s face made Sophie chuckle.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t you always longed to be in a relationship? What’s with that expression?” Sophie could tell that Ysabelle had fallen for Felix. It was just that Ysabelle herself had yet to realize her own feelings.
