Stella walks over to the microphone stand as Mary sits behind her at a grand piano, taking a deep breath before playing a few chords softly to warm up.

"This song is called Adore You by Harry Styles, thank you," Stella introduced, closing her eyes to shut out the thought of 30 sets of different eyes on her.

Lizzie's POV

'Walk in your rainbow paradise
Strawberry lipstick state of mind
I get so lost inside your eyes
Would you believe it?
You don't have to say you love me
You don't have to say nothing
You don't have to say you're mine'

Her voice was soft and angelic, I've never heard anyone sing so well before.

'Honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do'

"She's so talented, isn't she?" The man sitting beside me asked, I nodded half paying attention as the brunette sang her way beautifully through the chorus. "She's always been one of my most promising students, her voice is perfect and her grades are too, but she still refuses to publish a song,"

'You're wonder under summer skies
Brown skin and lemon over ice
Would you believe it?
You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna tell you somethin'
Lately you've been on my mind'

"Why?" I ask, curious as to why the girl isn't showing her voice off to the world by now, anyone who could sing like that would've already.

"Something about her parents, I'm not too sure," the man shrugged. "So what brought you to my class today, Lizzie?"

'Honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do'

"Sorry Paul, I just heard singing and came in, I'll leave after this performance," I made up an excuse and the older brunette seemed to buy it.

"I don't mind you staying, would you like to get coffee after?" Paul smiled at me kindly.

'I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do'

"I'm alright, thank you," I softly turned the man down, going back to watch Stella sing unbelievably well.

'I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, honey
Oh, honey
I'd walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
oh, honey
Just let me adore you
Like it's the only thing I'll ever do'

The girls finished their performance and quickly bowed before getting the fuck off the stage. Both Mary and Stella hated having to perform in front of their class. Even more so for Stella because since Lizzie was here.
